Our soul includes our mind, will
and emotions Our soul learns
through our senses (sight, hearing) so what ever enters our soul by seeing, listening,
reading or speaking changes the nature of the soul. First step to change our
soul that thinks like the world instead of God is to change the way we feed our
soul. Our mind, will, and emotions were all trained by our experiences, our parents,
our feelings, our church and our school, the movies and our cultural mores. But
what we need to do is to renew our soul. It has to be changed, reprogrammed, re-taught
and retrained. We need to teach our soul to obey God and to think in agreement
with the Word of God. After becoming a Christian,
the Bible instructs us to “put on the new
man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” (Ephesians
4:24).
“A man out of the good
treasure of his heart is going to bring forth good things, but a man out of
the evil treasure of his heart is going to bring forth evil things.” (Matthew 12:35) So, whatever we sow is what we are going to
reap. Our heart is going to produce the issues or the harvests of whatever it
is that we put into our life. “Guard your heart with all diligence for out
of it flow the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:18-20)
A pearl to string: Christianity
is not just another religion. It is the
life of God abiding within and flowing out of the believer. Other religions
leave you the same person you were before.
But the wonderful thing about the Christian life is that it will
completely transform us. That's good
news to me since I have what my Grandma called , "a wild hair".
My soul needs Jesus.
He has set eternity in our
hearts
Keep growing in Him,
Lyndi
