Who's On Watch

Who's on watch over your thinking, your speaking, your praying? Think about that for a minute. Do you gaurd what you think, what you say, or when you are praying, do you gaurd your minds, and stay focused on your prayer time?

The word says that death and life are in the power of the tongue. In other words what we say is what we are meditating on, and what we meditate on is what we bring about. People are always talking about positive thinking brings about good things, well the same is true for negative thinking.

Prov. 18 v 21..... Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit....

You will eat the fruit of what you say.
If we guard our minds, we can guard our thoughts and therefore gaurd our lips and what we say.
Most importantly we can guard our prayer time. Jesus asked His disciples while in the garden of Gethsemane, can't you even pray with me for one hour? They kept falling asleep, where was their gaurd, who was on watch in their minds, in other words who was keeping them from praying with Jesus?

Matt. 26 v 40-41....Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "WHAT! Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.."....

When you are in a prayer time do you look around, talk to your neighbor, get up and walk out, start fidgeting or thinking on something other than what you are suppose to be praying about. In other words, are you not on watch with the LORD, and lifting up the prayers to the Father? Who are you on watch for if not for Him?

It all begins with our minds, and where we are in our thinking. AMEN!

Job 38 v 36...Who has put wisdom in the mind? Or who has given understanding to the heart?

Is. 26 v 3....You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.....

Matt. 22 v 37...Jesus said "you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.".....

Luke 12 v 29..."and do not seek what you shall eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind"....

Rom. 12 v 2a....and do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,.....

1 Cor. 2 v 16....For who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.....

Phil. 2 v 5....let this mind be in you which also was in Christ Jesus.....

Col. 3 v 2...Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth....

2 Tim 1 v 7...For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind...

Heb. 8 v 10...For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God and they shall be My people....

1 Pet 1 v 13...therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.....

It is very important that we gird up the loins of our minds. When we put on the armour of God, we must protect our minds above all else. We must keep our minds on Christ and His thoughts and His words, and let them become our thoughts and our words. AMEN!

Stay in the WORD!
