It keeps my mind from wandering into depths of ungoldy thoughts.

Very interesting you should say that JL, I was thinking more or less the same exact thing the other day. I noticed if Im not studying Scripture, Ray's papers, the posts here, or acknowledging the Lord in all I do, then ungodly thoughts and sin happens easier.

So very TRUE!
Every day, I am finding out or more accurately being reminded of the simplicity of God's plan, purpose & Word.
By staying focused on God and His Word, it really does help you to walk the straight and narrow pathway. We all know where that wide path leads.
By constantly keeping God at the forefront of my thoughts, my mind-frame focuses on prays and communicating with God. Inquiring of God and trying to stay true to His plan for my life. This helps me to continue to open myself up to His will and desires in my life. Dare I say that it keeps my mind in a higher realm?
Since our carnal nature is enmity towards God, I find it much easier to shut the beast out if I've been keeping my mind focused on Godly things. When I get vain & think I’m strong enough to take on the beast that’s usually when the beast is able to rear its ugly head in my mind. Vanity is its food and if my mind is inundated with even the more innocent of wicked thoughts, trying to call on Christ to banish the murmurs of the beast is much harder.
I have yet to experience anything remotely close to what I’ve come to understand thru Ray & Bible-Truths. Every day it seems I am given more and more truth to keep the blinders & ear plugs off permanently.

Yes I truly believe this is how we know God's will for our lives. By studying and practicing what we have read, seen and heard, constantly and consistently. Most importantly we have Christ to strengthen us to accomplish His will. Im sure you know, we can do nothing of ourselves. We may stumble and fall along the way but He is able to make us stand again and hopefully through this process we get better and better until the Day dawns. Practice is NOT perfect, but practice MAKES perfect.
I think denying self, denying the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, resisting pride and being crucified with Christ is alot like keeping your mind in a heavenly spiritual realm. Even Ray says that Jesus was in Heaven 24 hours a day while walking in the flesh on earth, in part because Jesus' mind was always on the spiritual and did not sin, and He did not make provision for the flesh, even though He was tempted in all points just like we are. And we are told to have the (spiritual) mind of Christ, right? His focus was always on the Father, and all His ways.
Good stuff JL, you helped me put some things into perspective.
Peace, G.Driggs
