I couldn't shake off the prompt to write a follow-up to my previous post. Here it is...
In the last post, I mentioned that the more you learn about a thing, the more aware/conscious you get about it.
Looking at this from another point, do you realize that the more you dwell on; get to know; gain knowledge about; consume carnal knowledge that feed your flesh, the more aware or conscious you are about them? So much that your flesh begin to influence your mind with thoughts about these things to the extent that you lose control over more wrong things that begin to flow in. And sure enough, these inflows only do more harm to us than good by weakening our spirit by occluding the existing knowledge of GOD's WORDS you have. Infact, it sometimes hinders hearing GOD's voice in that instance.
What am I saying?
Imagine someone who's struggling with any sort of addiction, watching something that relates to it somehow (or maybe it doesn't even relate but it's still a gratifier of the flesh), he doesn't deal with it at that point of influx, but instead keeps watching more contents that can satisfy his flesh, don't you think he might fall back into that addiction soon?
He has by increasing his knowledge about that thing, not dealing with the wrong inflows entering his mind & letting his mind be influenced by the flesh to seek for more expose him to the addiction or its trigger.
It can be so grave that he doesn't get to hear GOD's warnings until he falls, because his spirit is currently weak.
Do you get the point now?
The more you allow your mind gain carnal & negative knowledge, the more conscious your mind is about it & sure enough that doesn't help you because the more carnally aware you are, the more weakened your spirit is & that's detrimental to your spiritual health.
What do we then do?
I believe the Solution would then be to replace every wrong, carnal, negative inflows with the knowledge of GOD's WORDS you have - either use the WORDS you know to counter them or you search out for more to deal with them.
Let your spirit be strengthened & your flesh weakened so that as you hear & see different things, you can deal with them appropriately.
Replace the knowledge of that wrong thing with the knowledge of what is RIGHT!
• You want to do better with GOD this year?
• You want to achieve your new year resolution?
• You want to do better on that addiction issue?
Then get the RIGHT knowledge to replace any negative inflow of knowledge!
How else do you think we can deal with this negative influx into our minds?
I will love to know your views about this.
Stay blessed Beloved 🥰
