人の行動や行動はマインドから生まれます. したがって, 心が人の行動や行動を決める. 誰かが何かをする前に, 心の中ではすでに多くのことが起こっています. 聖書にはこう書かれています, that the mind can be controlled and dominated by the flesh; which is controlled by the kingdom of darkness or by the Spirit; Who is being controlled by the Kingdom of God. Therefore the mind has a choice to do the will of God or the will of the devil.
The carnal mind
Before you believed in Jesus Christ and 悔い改め, your mind was carnal and was being controlled by the world; 闇の王国. Your mind was fed and formed by the knowledge, wisdom and the things of this world.
But when you believed in Jesus Christ, 悔い改め, そしてなりました 生まれ変わった 精神で, あなたは闇の王国から神の王国に移されました. You were set apart from the world. You didn’t belong to the world; 闇の王国, もう, but you belonged to the Kingdom of God. You were no longer the old creation but you had become a 新しい創造; 神の子 (これは男性と女性の両方に当てはまります), but your mind was still the same.
The renewing of the mind
Although you became a new creation, your mind was still the same. Your mind was unchanged and your mind was still conformed to the world. したがって, it was necessary to renew your mind with God’s Word, so that you would find out the 神の意志 そして神の御心に従って歩むのです.
It’s so important, that your mind is being conformed to the Word of God. なぜなら、その時だけ, will you have the mind of Christ. When you have the mind of Christ, you will speak and act like Jesus and live according to God’s will in holiness and righteousness.
そしてこの世界に適応しないでください: しかし、心を一新することであなたが変わってください。, それが何が良いのかを証明できるように, そして受け入れられる, そして完璧な, 神の意志 (ローマ人 12:2)
そして心の精神を新たにしてください; そしてあなたがたは新しい人を着るということ, 神は義と真の聖さのうちに創造された後、 (エペ 4:23-24)
But as long, as you don’t 心を新たにする 神の言葉とともに, your mind will stay unrenewed and therefore you will stay the same as before your repentance. Your mind will stay carnal and you will keep walking as the 古い創造物 肉の後. You shall be controlled by your flesh and shall be led by your senses, 感情, 感想, 感情, 意見, will etc. As long as you are being controlled by the flesh, you will sow in the flesh and shall reap corruption and death.
肉体的に心に留まることは死です; しかし、霊的に心に留まることは、人生と平和です. 肉体的な心は神に対する敵意だからです: それは神の律法の対象ではないからです, どちらも実際にはできません. それで、肉の中にある彼らは神を喜ばせることはできません (ロム 8:6-8)
それらの, who are continuously dominated by the flesh (罪深い性質) shall also put their mind on the things of the flesh (罪深い性質) and shall do what the flesh wants to do. しかし、それらは, who are continuously being dominated by the Spirit, shall also put their mind on the things of Spirit and the Kingdom of God.
The old man blames others
Many times believers, who misbehave or have made a mistake often say: ”the devil made me do it, he made me sin”. の 老人 always hides and blames others for his behavior and mistake(s) and never takes responsibility for the mistake(s) he made.
アダムが罪を犯したとき, he hid himself from God. When God asked him, if he had eaten from the forbidden tree, Adam immediately blamed Eve for his 神への不従順. Eve acted the same way and blamed the serpent for her disobedience.
もちろん, the serpent tempted Eve, but Eve and Adam were responsible for their own actions. When Eve was tempted by the devil, a thought of curiosity and temptation entered her mind and instead of commanding that thought to leave, she allowed the thought into her mind and conceived that thought.
Before she acted and ate from the forbidden fruit, she already made the choice in her mind to eat from the forbidden fruit. Adam did the same thing, and also gave in to 誘惑.
それで, they were both responsible for their own actions. They were the ones, who sinned and not the devil.
The devil still tries to tempt people in the flesh, それは彼の領域だから. He shall always try to tempt you by putting evil thoughts into your mind, that will cause you to misbehave, make a mistake and do or say something that is against the will of God. はい, the devil tries to tempt people by putting thoughts into their mind that may cause them to sin. That’s what he did with Adam and Eve, カイン, Lot’s wife, Samson, サウル, デビッド, Solomon etc. はい, he even tried to tempt Jesus, 神の子, but Jesus loved God above all, 彼は知っていました 彼の父の意志 そして彼の性質, therefore He overcame the devil by using the Word of God in the right context.
The devil can tempt you, でも罪を犯させることはできない
The devil can tempt you, but he cannot make you sin. あなたが1である, who is responsible for your sins. You decide to do something that goes against God’s will and sin or not. You are responsible for your behavior and your actions. And it all starts in your mind. Your mind is a breeding ground for good or evil.
残念ながら, the devil still has control in the mind of many believers. That’s mainly because many believers don’t 彼らの心を更新します 神の言葉とともに. したがって, they don’t get to know the 神の意志. They keep feeding their mind with the knowledge, wisdom and the things of this world. そのための, their mind belongs to the world; 悪魔, and they walk according to 彼の意志.
という事実のせいで, that the devil controls the mind, he also controls the lives of many believers. He determines their behavior, speech, and actions. はい, he controls them by controlling their mind; their thoughts. He puts thoughts into their mind that go against the will of God, and as long as they are carnal and they are being led by the flesh, they shall obey these thoughts. They shall walk and live according to what their thoughts tell and command them to do. Just like the Word says, that before you repented you lived like the world, in the lusts of your flesh, fulfilling the desires of your flesh and of the mind.
そして、あなたは彼が速めた, 不法侵入と罪で死んだ人; 過去にあなたがたはこの世界の過程に従って歩いた, 空気の力の王子によると, 不従順の子供たちの中に今働いている精神: その中で、私たちは皆、私たちの肉の欲望で過去に会話をしました, 肉と心の欲望を満たす; そして本質的には怒りの子供たちでした, 他の人としても (エペソ人への手紙 2:1-3)
姦通
A person doesn’t commit adultery, just like that. Although some believers, who have committed adultery, 言う, that they couldn’t help it and before they knew it they committed adultery. But that’s nonsense! Accidentally infidelity and adultery do not exist. Because before a person commits adultery, all kinds of unclean sexual thoughts have already entered the mind of the person. They brought up the idea of committing adultery. The person can mislead many people, who are carnal and are being led by their emotions and feelings, by taking a victim role, so that others will feel sorry for the person and have compassion. しかし、それらは, who are led by the Holy Spirit, and are not led by carnal feelings and emotions, don’t fall for that. They will discern the spirits, including the spirit of self-pity.
But before a person commits adultery, an unclean sexual thought of lust and desire already entered the mind. This thought came forth out of the lusts and desires of the flesh. これは示しています, that the flesh is not crucified in Christ, but is still alive and reigns in the person’s life. If the person had taken authority over this thought, by commanding it to leave his mind, the person would not have committed adultery. But the person didn’t do that and allowed that thought. The person not only allowed the thought but also meditated on this thought. In the mind, the person already committed adultery and has connected himself/herself with the other person. 今, these unclean sexual feelings of lust will only become stronger.
人, who commits fornication or adultery, has done this with premeditation. After committing adultery, this unclean spirit of sexual lust and desire shall reign in the person’s life. Because the person has obeyed this spirit by committing adultery and has given access to his/her life. This spirit shall manifest himself from time to time. That’s why many times when someone commits adultery it isn’t just one time, しかし、しばらくして, it happens again.
I’ve given this example of adultery, but there are so many examples to mention, about thoughts that cause behavior and actions, that goes against God’s will. Like gossip, manipulation, 嘘つき, 怒り, 心配, 不平を言う, hurting other people, scams, 盗難, お金を横領する, tax evasion and so on. All these actions are being done with premeditation because they all derive from the mind of a person.
心には選択肢があります
心には選択肢があります. As long as a person stays carnal and is not able to control his flesh, the person shall be dominated by his flesh; 罪深い性質. The person shall be led by his thoughts instead of taking authority over his thoughts.
Every person makes his/her own decisions to allow thoughts, and conceive thoughts and sin, or to reject thoughts and not sin. Every person is responsible for his/her mind, behavior and actions. Therefore you can’t blame others for your behavior or actions.
それが理由です, it’s so important and necessary to 心を新たにする with God’s Word, instead of feeding your mind with the things of this world. Because your mind determines your behavior and your actions.
Your way of life proves, if you have a carnal mind and being led by the flesh or that you have the mind of Christ that is conformed to the Word and are led by the Spirit. If you have the mind of Christ and are led by the Holy Spirit then you shall live according to 神の意志 and serve Him.
Serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek Him, He will be found of thee; but if thou forsake Him, He will cast thee off for ever (1 クロニクル 28:9)
