Mind-boggling
Ecclesiastes 8:9 New English Translation
9 While applying my mind to everything that happens in this world, I have seen all this: Sometimes one person dominates other people to their harm.
Romans 1:28 New English Translation
28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.
Mind-boggling
The mind can be disciplined or is it only when
There is total sovereignty by the man himself?
Partiality seems so simple when others dominate
As the thinking and the reasoning within by self is shelved
Who dictates the thought then and who picks the subject
According to whose wishes and who turns thought off and on?
Where is the origin, and how does it communicate?
Who then dictates the thought, and how is this done?
Romans 16:18 New English Translation
18 For these are the kind who do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By their smooth talk and flattery, they deceive the minds of the naive.
When you give ground in your mind you forfeit its sovereignty
Otherwise in your “will,” you could start and stop thinking
A mind belongs to man, and the enemy cannot use it
Unless he has permission to settle there and it slowly starts stinking
The more space you yield here will provide the amount of activity
The flesh furnishes continually as the basis of operation
Unless from the darkened corners have been enlightened
The mentality will be changed at the time of regeneration
Unseen hosts of wickedness reach out from darkened corners
And influence the reasoning at times when least expected
Even during prayer, they seem to move on concentration
To throw off thoughts of Holiness and pollute as directed
In an unregenerate mind, the flesh furnishes the basis
Continually and unrestricted the enemy makes preparations
The values then received on the standards of reason
Will be the foundation where it measures to its own damnation
As long as sin is cherished it's to invest the mind for that use
Unclean and proud selfishness is the measure from its estate
Unrighteous ideas supply at will the basis for opportunity
To do what’s right in its own eyes as it slowly degenerates
A slow decline fits Satan’s plan for your will drags people with you
For none will ever think that you are so rotten to the core
For you look and act civilized and fit into your surroundings
As no one sees the worm in you that wiggles through the back door
How does the mind get conquered? Why is it easy prey?
Not at once, I believe it seems to grow naturally little by little
Every time it accepts a lie and so makes it a way of living
It won’t be long that the mind misconstrues every jot and tittle
Matthew 5:18 King James Version
18 For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle
shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Miss-interpretation of reality in this is fully natural
To say that all things you see fall in place as meant
It is a lie embraced, but it opens many more doors
For the activity of Satan to strike in every little tent
