Whatever we have in mind most of the time; on any subject, that is where we have our treasures stored. There is so much of Scripture that most of us only have the slightest understanding; and that is Scripture that is explained several times in Bibles.
One would do well to pay attention when things of the flesh, carnal thoughts; take up most of their Scripture study time.
Some verses below that prompts this message.1Sa 2:6-10 (GNB)6 The LORD kills and restores to life; he sends people to the world of the dead and brings them back again.
7 He makes some people poor and others rich; he humbles some and makes others great.
8 He lifts the poor from the dust and raises the needy from their misery. He makes them companions of princes and puts them in places of honor. The foundations of the earth belong to the LORD; on them he has built the world.
9 "He protects the lives of his faithful people, but the wicked disappear in darkness; a man does not triumph by his own strength.
10 The LORD's enemies will be destroyed; he will thunder against them from heaven. The LORD will judge the whole world; he will give power to his king, he will make his chosen king victorious."
Jer 17:9 (MKJV) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?
Joh 6:62-63(Lamsa NT)62 What then if you should see the Son of man ascending to the place where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that gives life; the body is of no account; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
Rom 8:5-13 (Lamsa NT)5
For they who are after the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh; but they who are after the Spirit, do mind the things of the Spirit.6
To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace;7
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, because it cannot be.8
So then, they who are in the flesh cannot please God.9 But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit if the Spirit of God truly dwells within you. Now if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.
10 And if Christ is within you, the body is dead because of sin: but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised our LORD Jesus Christ from the dead dwells within you, so he who raised Jesus Christ from the dead will also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells within you.
12 Therefore, my brethren, we are not indebted to the flesh to live after the flesh.
13 For if you live after the flesh, you will die: but if you, through the Spirit, subdue the deeds of the body, you shall live.
Rom 8:14 Those who are led by the Spirit of God, are the sons of God.
