The Alpha of the Heart and Mind of Man

UV 2140/10000 The Alpha of the Heart and Mind of Man
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Genesis 4 v 7
The human mind is not one organ but the intersection of our core thoughts, emotions and will. Scripture gives us the key to the human mind in this uni-verse. How can we harmonise our spirits, thoughts, emotions, motives, desires, decisions, words and actions ? At the same time, we have thoughts and emotions as well as desires and choices that add up to our well being and our doing well with both God and man as well as those that harm our well being and keep us from doing well. The enemy who is an external force becomes an internal force waiting at the intersection of our thoughts, emotions and will, to prompt us to make the wrong choices and to do badly and feel bad about it in terms of guilt. The enemy is a specialist in marketing. The enemy makes evil more attractive than good. He makes it appear that it is for our own good.
Jesus restores the image of God in us when we believe and receive Him into our hearts or the intersection of thoughts, emotions, decisions. The truth sets us free to make the right choices again. Even then, the enemy has access to our hearts but his voice becomes dimmer and dimmer as we listen to the voice of Jesus, the whisper of the Holy Spirit, the word of God. The Word is Jesus in print. Hence, as we imbibe the word and consistently make the choices in conformity with the word, we change at the speed of God. Instead of the curses that Cain inherited from his bad choices, we inherit the blessings of the Lord.
Jesus said, “Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect” meaning, “Do your best to resemble your Father’s character or heart.” A person who never makes a wrong choice of thought, word or action is perfect. Such a person is Jesus and Jesus alone. But, we who believe are called to maximise our right choices and minimise our wrong choices. When we act on a positive thought or with a positive emotion or motive, it is creation. When we act on a negative thought or with a negative emotion or motive, it is a reaction. We are to maximise our creations and minimise our reactions.
