Playing with Your Mind

If there was ever a time to pay close attention to the one true God, it is now!  With so much evil being promoted on and off electronic screens, you can't help but feel miserable most of the time.  So what to do?  Back off from all the PROGRAMMING! 

As much as we tell ourselves, "It's not real...it's just entertainment...besides I'm bored."  The truth of the matter is we are permitting someone's opinion, idea, upbringing, or worse dark spirit to come into our minds and homes to do what?  CHANGE US!

The more you watch others do something (especially immoral activities,) the more you take whatever you feel is right, good, or beneficial and use what you see to suit your own needs.  For example, if I watch a show about how to cook a particular item, I am open to receiving whatever it is I need to learn in order to prepare that meal.  When I am sitting in a group and listening intently to a speaker week after week, I am permitting myself to take in whatever he or she says.  I'm sure you can come up with some more examples as they relate to being programmed.

We are motivated by all sorts of people and things to do or don't do something whether we have a moment to think about our actions or inactions or not.  Today, take sometime to ask yourself, "Why do I bother listening to someone or group daily/weekly/monthly?  Why do I make myself watch this or that?  What is it about this person/show/event/thing that makes me so loyal to him/her/it?"  I will tell you when you think like this the following will happen:

1.  Emails will be less, because you start ridding yourself from certain email lists.
2.  Contacts in your phone will decrease, because you realize you don't need or want to communicate with certain people and businesses anyway.
3.  Documents both on and off your computer will be discarded, because you find yourself wanting to get rid of things that don't serve a purpose in your life anymore.
4.  Social networking contacts and websites will be diminished, because you realize many of those people could care less about what you do and are not much of a help mentally, physically or spiritually.

So do take some time to pray, fast and reflect today on what you really want and what you really don't want to affect your mind, body and spirit.

God bless.
