In this article the mind is discussed and how important it is to take authority over your thoughts. Kwa sababu kama huna mamlaka juu ya mawazo yako, your thoughts take authority over you and rule your life. Let’s have a look at what the Bible says about the mind and how to take authority over your thoughts.
Akili yako huamua mwelekeo wako katika maisha
All the words, kazi, and actions of people derive from the mind. Kama ilivyoandikwa katika Methali 23:7: Kama mtu anavyofikiri moyoni mwake, Hivyo ndivyo yeye.
The way you think about yourself makes you the person you are. From the mind and the way you think, you act. Therefore all behavior, Vitendo, and speech derive from the mind.
Akili pia hufanya kama kichujio. Wakati akili yako ni 'wingu' au 'kuharibiwa', au kuweka katika maneno mengine, when you have a ‘wrong’ mindset and a wrong way of thinking, Kisha kila kitu unachoona kwa hisia zako (Unavyoona, Kusikia, Kuhisi), become affected by this wrong mindset.
Your mind is very important and determines the course of your life.
The mind and thoughts of the old creation
Before you became born again in Christ and became a new creation, you were the old creation (mwenye dhambi) and lived from your fallen state as a sinner. Your spirit was dead and you were led by your flesh and your carnal mind with your carnal thoughts. The will, tamaa, and desires of your flesh and your mind ruled over you. They determined what they wanted you to do and you obeyed them. Umetenda juu ya mawazo yako. Wewe ulikuwa mtumwa wa mwili wako na mawazo yako.
Na wewe umemhuisha, Ambao wamekufa katika dhambi na dhambi; Wakati uliopita mlitembea kulingana na mwendo wa ulimwengu huu, Kwa mujibu wa mkuu wa mamlaka ya anga, Roho ambaye sasa anafanya kazi katika watoto wa kutotii: ambao sisi sote tuliishi miongoni mwao zamani tukizifuata tamaa za miili yetu, kutimiza tamaa za mwili na akili; na kwa asili tulikuwa wana wa ghadhabu, hata kama wengine (Waefeso 2:1-3)
Akili yako ya kimwili ilikuwa kinyume na Neno la Mungu, Kwa hiyo, uadui dhidi ya Mungu (Warumi 8:7)
Akili yako ilikuwa ya kimwili na ilidhibitiwa na giza; By the King's Power of the Engine. You lived in darkness and the darkness was your source.
Your mind and your thoughts agreed with the thoughts of the world, Kwa sababu mtawala wa ulimwengu huu (shetani) Alikuwa baba yako. Wewe ni wa kwake, Alitawala katika maisha yako, Nawe umemtii,.
Since the devil is the adversary of God, every thought he puts into your mind opposes the Word of God.
The mind and thoughts of the new creation
Kisha ikafika wakati, that you believed and accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Your sinful nature was exposed by the Holy Spirit and you repented of your life as a sinner. You became born again and became a new creation, who is reconciled with God and lives from the restored state in Christ after the Spirit.
Uumbaji mpya bado ni mtoto. Hapo mwanzo, the new creation is oftentimes still subjected to the flesh (mwili na roho). Because from the day you were born, the flesh has been fed for all those years by the darkness and reigned as king in your life (when you were the old creation).
All those years your mind was fed and led by the world system. For years your mind received input from the natural world, Kwa njia ya malezi (Jinsi ulivyoinuliwa), Elimu, burudani, (kijamii)vyombo vya habari, na kadhalika.
Your whole mind has been polluted with the knowledge, hekima, and things of this world. Your mind is in line with the mind of the ruler of this world; the devil and all those, Nani ni wa kwake.
Unapokuwa kiumbe kipya, your mind is still conformed to this world (Mfumo). Tofauti pekee ni, that you believe in Jesus and your spirit is raised from the dead. Lakini akili yako na jinsi unavyofikiri haijabadilika bado. Your thoughts are still conformed to the world instead of the Word (the Bible).
Kwa hiyo, it’s time to fanya upya akili yako and feed your spirit. So that your spirit matures. It is time to stop walking after the flesh and let your thoughts dictate what to do. Start walking after the Spirit and let the words of God dictate you what to do. So that you walk in obedience to the Father as a son of God (hii inatumika kwa wanaume na wanawake) on earth and manifest the Kingdom of God.
How do you renew your mind and feed your spirit?
How do you renew and feed your spirit and ensure that your mind will line up with the mind of Jesus and the spirit and the Holy Spirit reign in your life? Jibu ni, Kwa neno la Mungu (Bible), kupitia Maombi, na kwa kuomba katika Roho Mtakatifu.
The newborn Christians have become a new creation; a son of God in the spirit realm and the mission of every Christian is to reveal this spiritual transformation in the natural realm. This means to walk as a son of God after the Spirit just like Jesus.
Kwa maana kuwa na akili iliyotawaliwa na asili ya dhambi ni kifo, Lakini kuwa na akili inayoongozwa na Roho ni maisha na amani (Warumi 8:6 (K.W)
Why you must renew your mind with the Word?
Your mission and purpose as a new creation is to become like the Word; Yesu. 'Mzee' wako na 'wa sasa’ Njia ya kufikiri, Haijalishi wewe ni nani. The Word defines who you really are. The Word is the mirror for the new creation.
You were controlled by the darkness (Ulimwengu) your whole life. You were fed with lies that blinded you to the Truth.
Sasa, Muda umefika, to destroy these lies in your life and to build upon the Truth, which means to renew your mind with the Word of God.
Neno la Mungu litafunua uongo wote wa ulimwengu na wa shetani..
Roho iliyo ndani yako lazima itawale juu ya mwili wako. This means your thoughts, hisia, na hisia (Hii ni kinyume na Neno la Mungu).
Wakati roho yako haina kuchukua mamlaka na haina kuanza kutawala juu ya mwili wako, Roho yako itatiwa chini ya mwili na bado utadhibitiwa na mwili.; Giza.
Ibilisi hufanya kazi katika akili
Moja ya maeneo makubwa ya shetani ni akili. Ibilisi anajua jinsi akili ni muhimu. The devil knows that the mind controls the behavior, Vitendo, na hotuba ya watu. That’s why the devil wants to reign in everyone’s mind and control the mind. Kwahivyo, man remains the devil’s slave and does exactly what he wants. (Soma pia: ‘Mapenzi ya Mungu dhidi ya mapenzi ya shetani‘).
Shetani hataki ujue ukweli. Because when you find out who you really are in Jesus Christ and what dominion (Mamlaka) Umepewa, Utakuwa tishio kubwa kwa Ibilisi na ufalme wake. Ibilisi anataka uache kudanganywa na neno na kuwa na Ukosefu wa maarifa.
Ibilisi anataka wewe kukaa kimwili na kuendelea kuishi baada ya mwili wako. Anataka kukudhibiti kupitia tamaa na tamaa za mwili wako na akili yako.; Mawazo yako.
Unapokuwa kiumbe kipya, Shetani na jeshi lake hawana haki ya kisheria tena kuchukua akili yako. Lakini… they still have the ability to occupy your mind.
The devil and his army take every opportunity to stay in control of your mind. He has one mission and that is to bring you into captivity of him and bring you back into darkness and destroy you.
Ibilisi na jeshi lake ni malaika walioanguka. They can’t read your mind; Mawazo yako, Lakini wanaweza kujaza akili yako na uongo wao.
Ibilisi huwatuma malaika wake kwa misheni ya kushambulia akili yako kwa uongo, na kudhibiti akili yako kwa mawazo ya uharibifu, wasiwasi, wasiwasi, hofu, Uhakika, wivu, Kiburi, wivu, negativity, uasi, kujikataa n.k.
The instruments of the devil to infiltrate and control your mind
Mbali na mashambulizi haya katika akili, Ibilisi pia hutumia vyombo kutoka kwa ulimwengu unaoonekana: Kama elimu, (kijamii) vyombo vya habari, burudani; televisheni, michezo ya kompyuta, vitabu, na kadhalika. to invade your mind. These instruments will ensure that you will stay in his power and will stay controlled by evil spirits. How can you see if people are controlled by evil spirits? Kwa matendo yao na ulevi wao.
Kama huwezi kuishi bila ya vyombo hivi, Wewe ni addicted (Uraibu wa smartphone, television addiction, Uraibu wa michezo ya kubahatisha, Uraibu wa kitabu, Uraibu wa mtandao, social media addiction, na kadhalika.). Kama wewe ni addicted, Wewe unaongozwa na nguvu za giza.
It is very important, Na kama wewe ni kiumbe kipya, Kuwa mwangalifu na kile unachokiona, Kuangalia, na kusikia, na kwa 'mambo' gani unalisha akili yako na.
If you don’t guard your mind and keep feeding your mind with the things of the world, you become like the world. Kwa kulisha nyama yako, Utahakikisha mwili wako unakaa imara, Endelea kutawala katika maisha yako.
Ndiyo, Mwili wako utabaki katika udhibiti wa maisha yako. Lakini unapokula mwenyewe, Kuhusiana na mambo ya Ufalme wa Mungu; Neno la Mungu, Maombi, kufunga, Kuzungumza katika lugha mpya, na kadhalika. Ndipo roho yako itakapokuwa imara na kutawala katika maisha yako.. Wakati roho yako inatawala, Utatembea baada ya Roho.
Why is it necessary to take authority over your thoughts?
Katika Waefeso 2:3 Paulo aliwaandikia watakatifu huko Efeso, Sio tu kuhusu nafasi yao katika Kristo, lakini pia kuhusu maisha yao ya zamani na jinsi walivyoongozwa na tamaa za mwili wao., fulfilling the desires of the flesh and the mind. Hii pia ni kweli kwa leo. Kwa sababu kabla ya kumgeukia Kristo, na kuwa mtakatifu, Wewe ulikuwa mtumwa wa mapenzi ya mwili wako na akili yako (Mawazo yako). Mwili wako na akili yako ilikufundisha nini cha kufanya, na wewe moja kwa moja kutii.
Lakini... Sasa kwa kuwa umekuwa mshiriki wa Mwili wa Yesu Kristo, Hutembei tena kulingana na mapenzi ya mwili wako na akili yako. Kwa sababu umelala na kuuzika mwili wako kwa njia ya ubatizo Katika maji. Mwili ni kifo, Kwa hiyo mwili hauwezi kudhibitiwa tena.
Ikiwa mwili wako bado unadhibiti, you haven’t laid down your flesh yet. Wewe si achana na yule mzee but the old man is still alive.
You’ve become a new creation and your spirit has become alive by the power of the Holy Spirit. Utakuwa unatembea, na kuishi kwa kufuata Roho na si baada ya mwili tena.
You shall not be controlled by what your senses and thoughts are telling you to do. Lakini wewe kufanya, what the Word of God tells you to do. You will take authority over thoughts, that do not line up with the Word of God, and don’t let those thoughts take authority over you.
Jinsi ya kuchukua mamlaka juu ya mawazo yako?
1. Jifunze Neno la Mungu
Kwanza kabisa, Lazima ujue Neno la Mungu. Kwa sababu ni jinsi gani unaweza kujua, Mawazo uliyonayo, Usikubali Kukubaliana na Neno la Mungu? Neno linakufunza, Tusikubali kutawaliwa na dunia hii, Lakini ni lazima ubadilishwe kutoka kwa ulimwengu, Kwa kufanya upya akili yako kwa Neno la Mungu. Only by renewing your mind with the Word of God, Utapata kujua mapenzi ya Mungu na ukweli. Kama unajua ukweli, Unaweza ukawa na uongo kwa kusema ukweli.
Wala msiifuate dunia hii: lakini mgeuzwe kwa kufanywa upya kwa akili zenu, ili muweze kuthibitisha kile kilicho chema, na kukubalika, na kamili, Mapenzi ya Mungu (Warumi 12:2)
2. Tafakari juu ya Neno, Usiku na mchana
Let your mind be filled with the Word, and don’t let your thoughts depart from the Word. Let the Word dwell and be in your heart constantly.
Kitabu hiki cha torati kisiondoke kinywani mwako; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, ili uangalie kutenda sawasawa na yote yaliyoandikwa humo:maana ndipo utakapoifanikisha njia yako, na ndipo utapata mafanikio mazuri (Yoshua 1:8)
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night (Zaburi 1:1-2)
3. Take every thought, hiyo inaenda kinyume na Neno la Mungu, into captivity with the Word.
You can only win the battle against your thoughts, out of the Spirit, by bringing your thoughts into captivity with the Word of God. Only the Word can beat the adversary. When the devil tempted Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus didn’t beat the devil by singing songs, but He beat the devil with the Word.
When thoughts of worry arises, or other evil thoughts, bring these thought into captivity, to the obedience of Christ, by speaking the Word, and tell these thoughts: that God thinks thoughts of peace, and not of evil towards you, Kukupa mwisho unaotarajiwa (Yeremia 29:11)
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (2 Wakorintho 10:5)
Take authority over your thoughts, before they take authority over you
If you won’t take a stand, and don’t take authority over your thoughts, by bringing them into captivity to the obedience of Christ; neno. Lakini badala yake, feed these thoughts, by thinking about them and meditating on them, which will result in believing these thoughts, then these thoughts will take authority over you and bring you into captivity.
The thoughts, Hii ni kinyume na Neno la Mungu, may seem harmless in the beginning, but the truth is, that they aren’t. They have a destructive character.
If you feed thoughts, that oppose the Word of God, they’ll lead you to negative thinking, wasiwasi, wasiwasi, self-rejection, Unyogovu, mental illness, and maybe even suicide.
Eve didn’t walk in the dominion that God gave to man; kutawala mbingu, the earth, na yote yaliyomo ndani. She didn’t silence the serpent, Kwa maneno ya Mungu. She didn’t command the serpent to be silent and to go away.
Hapana, she let a thought of doubt enter her mind and acted upon that thought instead. Therefore she and Adam lost their position to the devil, and the devil became the master over man.
If you don’t walk in the dominion that God gave you through Jesus Christ. And if you won’t take authority over your thoughts, then these thoughts will take authority over you. They will become your master.
God has given you all authority in Jesus Christ
Don’t pray to God, and ask Him to take these thoughts away from you. Because God has given you the dominion, mamlaka, to rule over them, katika Yesu Kristo. God has given you the authority in Jesus Christ, neno, to rule over your flesh, including your thoughts.
Therefore renew your mind with the Word of God, Linda akili yako, stay in the Word (in Jesus), and walk after the Spirit, katika the dominion that God has given you, Kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo. Take authority over your thoughts, before they take authority over you.
