Pursue Properly

“And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?"

MATTHEW 16:26

As long as there is evil in the world - forces will intentionally be persuaded to draw your attention away from Jesus. The world was created by God for God and his people - for us. In the beginning - there was choice - in the end only truth.  

The mind is the battlefield of good and evil. The heart is all God's - Pray to your Lord to be renewed in your heart and mind. 

Heavenly Father cleanse our minds and renew our hearts in your grace. In your truth - wash us in the blood of our Savior - lift us now as your children in one spirit - in one name - in the name of our Savior and King Christ Jesus. 

Chase nothing that does not lead to Jesus. Search for no thing without dialogue with the Lord. Praise the Holy Spirit for he is worthy. Praise Jesus because he is freedom - he is life. Let not your mind entangle your thoughts into accepting sinful inner dialogue. Rebuke the evil one and praise Jesus for setting you free. Focus on the Lord and the Lord will focus on you.  

There is no thing the Lord cannot do or provide at his appointed time - rest easy in your mind by directing all of your thoughts to his truth. God is love and he loves you and desires a personal relationship with you. Seek Jesus with all your heart, mind, strength and soul and be set free.
