When you give your mental assent to any idea, good or bad, you associate yourself with that idea and you incorporate it into your consciousness—to the extent that you realize it. When you read a passage of Scripture you will, if you assent to it mentally, incorporate it into your life to that extent.
This law, of course, works the other way too. If when you hear or read of some piece of injustice or cruelty, you approve it mentally by thinking that “it serves him right,” you are associating yourself with that deed, and making it a part of your own life, even though you do not speak a word. It is the mental as sent that counts.
Give your assent only to Truth.
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my numbers, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity….So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God…. (Romans 7:22, 23, 25).
We should chose carefully those things we think and say. They determine both our inward and outward reality.
Our thoughts and words are are more powerful than bullets and bombs. One bullet can harm a few, while the words of Hitler caused the death of six million people. One terrorist bomb can harm hundreds, yet the thoughts that led to the invention of the atomic bomb could end all life on our planet.
Conversely, the words of Jesus have brought more peace, love and salvation to the planet than all the hate, fear and pain created by all the hateful words in history . The thoughts and revelations from which biblical truth flows ensures the survival , salvation and eternal life for all who have ears to hear.
In discernment,
