Thoughts are bold and daring things as well as strong and persistent.
Like armed men, they force themselves into the mind, The keep up a din
and chatter straining the nerves and chilling the heart. Fear
dashes into the mind and holds us fast. Anxiety and nervousness
appear and drive off rest and keep one sleepless all night long for
nothing. Doubt is let in and allowed to speak blowing out
every light,and filling the room with darkness. Trouble,
many faced, many handed, will fill the mind, and stay all day, and return
in the morning by the time you open your eyes. Cares weighing
a thousand pounds each, come to unload in the room. Old self,
under Gods judgment, and refusing to die, wants to stay on hand all the
time. It wants the best chair in the mind and the most attention although
it is a most unwholesome visitor. It has been deposed by God and is under
His everlasting curse, and yet wants to lurk around all the time. All these
things will harass and possess and occupy and claim all the attention of
the mind, if allowed . Throw them out and they get right up and come in
again. Lock the door and everyone seems to have the master key. |
The blood of Jesus was my deliverance.When
my eyes first opened from sleep these thoughts of the past, present and
future were on hand to torment me, I was helpless. I knew not what to do
with them. Then the Lord showed me that door in Egypt with the blood sprinkled
over and around it. (Exodus 12:21) into which no evil , tormenting spirit
would come, I was just simply to be willing to commit my mind unto Him
in helplessness and then to claim and believe and see the blood of Christ
over and around it, just like that door, on the house in Egypt. It was
a new and blessed thought to me. I did so , I said, the blood is over the
door. The world is dead to me and I am dead to the world, You cannot enter
under the blood, they backed off. Again and again they would come, But
I simply pointed to the blood over the door of my mind. I thought on the
blood whenever they come and soon their power was gone and they ceased
their visitation,my mind had rest as I committed all to God and thought
on the blood. |
