MOTIVES AND HEALTHY THOUGHTS.

Center verse:Matthew 15:18,29(KJV) "But those things which proceed out of the mouth comes from the heart and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications,thefts,false witness,blasphemies." TEXT: MATTHEW: 15:10-20.The statement of Psychologist is that ten thousand thoughts pass through the human mind daily. This is equivalent to three million, five hundred thousand every year. If we must take note of every gossip, how many can be quoted? The mind is Devil's battle field. He is aware how necessary it is to have a pure,renewed and victorious mind and fights everyday to hinder that from existence. The magnitude to which Satan can manipulate our thoughts is the extent to which he can direct and hinder us from receiving God's blessing. Many people are manipulated by what they behold, hear,feel or think. Most people pass through life trusting on personal capability instead of trusting on God's unchanging word. Lord Jesus categorically States that what corrupts a person before God is not the failure to take the step of ceremonial law,but the responsiveness to incline in the direction deprave deposition in the heart which includes evil thoughts, adulteries, formication, murder, thefts,covetousness,wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye,blasphemy, pride ,foolishness. He mentioned the seriousness of sin in the heart of man,pointing out that regeneration is the antidote to all the corruption in the heart. Once a transgressor admits his/her sins,confess,forsake then accept Christ as his/her personal Lord and saviour, this brings divine strength and power that peaks into cleansing of the heart. Salvation: we must endeavour under the grace of God,to cast "down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thoughts to the obedience of Christ....Surrender your mind and heart  everyday to the control of the Holy Ghost so as to enjoy the best from God. Remember, as a man desires in his heart,so he is. Further Bible verses: James 3:6,Genesis 6:5.
