“He that has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls”. prov 25:28

Without conscious thought, definite decisions and plans, your mind will be infiltrated by it’s enviroment.

If you haven’t taken a stand and made an absolute decision in a particular area of life, you’ve decided to go with the flow.

Your culture, your family and your friends, have ideas and beliefs about life. Where you don’t rule your mind , these ideas and beliefs will become you ideas and beliefs, and your heart will produce an experience that matches them.

A city is a production centre, and they used to be protected by high walls against attacking enemies.

As long as the walls were strong and guarded, enemies could not enter the city. But if the walls were weak and unguarded enemies could easily enter and take control of that city.

Your plans, your decisions and your beliefs are what guard your spirit, or city. Your production centre.

It may seem like you are having an experience very much like those around you, as in when a depression hits the economy and your laid off work along with lots of others, or you catch a virus that’s going around. Because your experience is so similar you can easily think “I didn’t do this”. But the truth is your experience is totaly unique to you. It just looks similar because the same thoughts that entered those around you, entered your unguarded city.

Your future is as sure as the decisions you have made about it, and the commitment you have made to those decisions.

What happens to you is up to you.

Who is ruling the most valuable resourse you own, your mind.

Is it you, or is it your culture in disguise.

1. Recognise that you are the only one who creates in your life.
2. Guard your mind from invading thoughts and beliefs of those around you.
3. Make your own decisions about your life and future,and put them in a written statement.
4. Twice a day affirm and visualise, with feeling, the fulfilment of your plans.
5. Do not take no for an answer.
