The Battlefield

The battlefield where the war between good and evil is taking place in our minds and hearts. Your thoughts are the key to determining which side you will choose. Thoughts bring forth action that brings forth habit that results in your character that determines your destiny. So is it possible for us to control what comes in our thoughts, Yes it is. Your thoughts stem from what you see and hear and most of that centers on one´s choice. You choose the programs to watch, the music to listen to, the books to read, the tv/radio channels to watch/listen and this eventually plant seeds of ideas in our brain that influences our principles and value system. If you put in material that promotes selfishness, having unrepentant heart, greed, lust, being two faced, back stabbing, hate, prejudice, strife then is it a wonder that you also live with these ideals at the center of your life. But if you read material that is uplifting, promotes fairness, justice, love, peace, forgiveness then this ideals will also influence your life. Paul tells this to the Philippians in 4:8, 'Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praise worthy – think about such things.'

Being good and bad is a choice that starts with what we allow into our minds. Be careful what you allow in.
