Jesus has told us that we always demonstrate our consciousness. We always demonstrate what we habitually have in our mind. What sort of mind have you? Do not let anyone else tell you, because they do not know. People who like you will think your mentality is better than it is; those who do not like you will think is worse. Just examine your conditions and see what you are demonstrating. This method is scientific and infallible.
If an automobile engineer is working out a new design for an engine, for instance, he doesn’t, say: “I wonder what Smith thinks about this. I like Smith. If Smith is against this I won’t try it.” Nor does he say, “I won’t try this idea because it comes from France.” He is impersonal and unemotional about it. He says, “ I will test it out, and decide by the results I obtain.” All that anyone can do for you is to help you change your thought. You yourself must keep it changed. No one else can think for you. “No man can save his brother’s soul or pay his brother’s debt.”
…and I will put a new spirit within you… (Ezekiel 11:19).
What are we demonstrating in our lives? The question is not “What are we thinking, wishing or feeling” , but what are we demonstrating (doing). Are we demonstrating selfless love, outgoing concern and help for others? Are we living a joyful and life with gladness? Does the reality of our daily lives create peace, hope and faith?
The answer to these questions should help us all to inventory ourselves and answer these questions. What are the results of our life experiment? How is our life working, and is it to our satisfaction? If not, then we need to turn to God for a new spirit. Then, we must nurture our new spirit and keep it growing. That is when we can walk in the garden with God each day.
