Galatians 6:7-8 

7 Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows, 8 because the person who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.

 

Self discipline

 

The mind can it be disciplined? Or maybe only when

there is total sovereignty ... by the man himself?

Partially is simple ... when others dominate

the thinking and the reasoning within the man himself.

 

Who dictates the thoughts then ... who picks the subject

and according to whose wishes ... are thoughts turned off and on?

Where is the origin ... how does it communicate

and who dictates the thought ... and how is this done?

 

When you give ground in your mind ... you forfeit sovereignty.

Otherwise in your will ... you could start and stop thinking.

A mind belongs to man ... and the enemy cannot use it

unless it has permission ... to settle in and take it.

 

The more space you yield here ... will provide the amount

of activity the flesh furnishes ... for the basis of operation.

Unless the darkened corners ... have been enlightened

and the mentality is changed ... at the time of regeneration.

 

Unseen hosts of wickedness will reach from darkened corners

and influence the reasoning ... at times least expected.

Even during prayer ... they move in concentration

to throw out the thoughts of Holiness and pollute them as directed.

 

In a mind not renewed ... the flesh furnishes basis

continually and unrestricted ...  for the enemy’s operation.

The values then received ... are the standard of the reason,

that the mind measures ... with to its own damnation.

 

As long as sin is cherished ... the mind is lent to that use.

Unclean, pride and selfishness ... are measures from that estate.

Unrighteous ideas supply at will ... basis for opportunity

to do what’s right in one’s own eyes ... as it slowly degenerates.

 

A slow decline fits satan’s plan ... for you will drag people with you.

For no one will ever think ... you to be rotten to the core.

You look and act civilized ... and fit into your surrounding

and no one sees the worm in you ... that came in through the back door.

 

How does the mind get conquered ... is it an easy prey?

Not really I believe ... it comes little by little.

Every time one accepts a lie ... and makes it a way of living

it won’t be long after a few of them ... misconstrue the “jot and title”.

 

Misinterpret reality ... as fully being natural.

To say that all things you see ... fall in place just by itself.

That is a lie that is embraced ... and opens many doors

for the activity of satan ... to strike in basic elements.
