Words to live by

The mind to do anything is exactly that thing. The multiple amounts of evil wickedness, reported in the news, were strong enough in the mind – before the act.

Yes, it is possible some acts were spontaneous, but it is super strange to do the unimaginable, at that instant – without prior consideration or risk assessment.

The world has an abundance of wickedness. Some are hated for no reason. There’s heated bitterness in the minds of some. Some are so obsessed and so desperate. There’s also the plot and conclusion, then patience for the right moment, for malevolence.

The answers to many of the world’s evil are rooted in the Scriptures, but many are woke against the problems and woke against the Solution. [Matthew 5:28, But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.] [Proverbs 23:7, For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart [is] not with thee.]

The Scriptures emphasizes pure heart, clean heart, heart of flesh, whatever things are honest, etc. because that is where crimes are first made. The heart is culpable to GOD in every act. [Psalm 24:4, He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.] [Proverbs 4:23, Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it [are] the issues of life.]

As much as people comment every day on digital platforms, on what to do about situations, there is a problem of heart of stone, or say, heart of wickedness – that technology or science can’t fix.

This is the reason it is often advisable that any high-risk thing that is not something one does, no individual should push or force one into doing it; because if things implode, good heart is no excuse.

Even genuine Christians know that pure heart is the way to GOD. The Scriptures says, Blessed [are]

the pure in heart: for they shall see GOD.

It may also somehow mean, at least while on earth, that they can see GOD in their situations. The Scriptures also talks about a heart with sin: [Psalm 66:18, If I regard iniquity in my heart, the LORD will not hear [me]:]

So sin simmers from the heart. For genuine Christians it is not even to play with sin, or be reckless with sin and think that because of Grace, it won’t matter.

There are risks to be taken in the LORD, genuinely, that while in it, or after, true prayers in His Will can be said for Him to save and to help.

Other than that, emergency prayers to save from the result of an act, planned and accomplished, then that GOD should save, mercy may be regulated, but only the LORD decides.

There are troubles that come without doing anything. There are so many unknown troubles – from whatever. So it is important to stay righteous, have a pure heart and do good as much as possible, then ask for mercy, so that all those combined can save from whatever may strike.

There should not also be space for certain thoughts.

[Philippians 4:8, Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are]

pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be]

any praise, think on these things.]

Some people wake up in the morning, and something negative they didn’t think just comes to their mind, and they are crushed or reactive for that day.

But that information can be wrong. For some, it is comments from others, or certain kinds of defeat in the heart they allowed to fester. For some, they allowed things get to them, and they just want to hide. For some, their mockers appear so powerful, they avoid and avoid, until they get addicted to anxiety. [2 Timothy 1:7, For GOD hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.]

So it is possible to have power over a weak mind, to love rather than hate, and to have a sound mind, rock solid no stupid nonsense can push one to unhappiness, sorrows or emptiness.

Yes, it takes prayers too, a lot of prayers. Because some battles of the mind are compounded waterfalls. But there is hope for victory.

GOD can give a pure heart.

[Ezekiel 36:26, A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.] [Psalm 51:10, Create in me a clean heart, O GOD; and renew a right Spirit within me.]

It is also advised to renew the mind.

[Romans 12:2, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of GOD.]

So renewal in some other ways can also mean countering. Like when scorners do what they do, the mind can be trained to say, that is not me, I am better, I will not fail, I am so fortunate, because I have been forgiven much, because I have been favored much, I am so lucky, I am better off, etc.

When bad thoughts originate from the mind, it is possible to counter it there, or reverse it. For example, rather than feel like a failure, it can be said that no, one is successful in something else, but that past failure does not define one and there will still be good success.

Hard heart is a devastatingly dangerous. It can ruin things, including a marriage. Pride, confrontation, anger, greed, unforgiveness, etc. are sometimes results of a hard heart.

[Matthew 19:8, He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.]

It is so important to find how to tell to the world in more applicable ways, that Salvation is the solution to adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries.

This would be the greatest research and development. Many hate genuine Christianity but it has the answer to everything wrong with the world. Yet, it is not by force, it requires consent and assent, JESUS said, [Revelation 3:20, Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear MY voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with ME.]

Genuine Christianity provides the purest form of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.

The world will be a better place with a good heart, the purest of it, for mercy, for compassion, for love and for goodness. [Luke 10:27, And He answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy GOD with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.] [Luke 10:33, But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion [on him]
