Guard – Walk – Dwell – Practice
Guard your innermost thoughts! Proverbs 4:23 NASB Watch [or guard] over your heart [innermost thoughts, pictures, and words] with all diligence, for from it [innermost thoughts, pictures and words] flow the springs of life.
Walk by the Spirit!
Galatians 5:16-18 NASB – “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.”
Dwell on these things!
Philippians 4:8 NASB – “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
Practice these things!
Philippians 4:9 NASB – “The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.”
God is consistently telling us to decide; we are to choose to dwell on thoughts that give us health and produce life. You have a choice; you are to decide what you will dwell on. Will you choose to keep on considering, pondering, and reckoning truth as a practice so that truth becomes a habit of life? If you do this, it will allow you to dominate the flesh by the spirit—your spirit.
Guard, walk, dwell on, and practice! TRAIN YOUR BRAIN so that truth dominates the flesh!

Training Your Brain Exercise – Decide Today
Today be objective and intentional. Pull from your brain an existing lustful or pornographic picture, or think of an ad you saw on TV or a poster that is plastered on a store front at the mall. Sit in the theater right next to Jesus; turn the picture into glass and smash it into little pieces, or turn it to paper and light the image on fire. Do this purposely by choice. Don’t wait to be attacked. Be bold! Attack the garbage of the world that has infiltrated your mind. Teach your brain the truth. You are designed by God to run your brain.
You are in control of your brain and when you are objective, you are able to access the truth of God’s Word and the power of His Spirit. Prior to an image appearing in your mind, call it forth and be decisive. Turn the lie—the disgusting picture—into glass and SMASH it into little pieces, or turn it into paper and light it on fire.
Be objective! Do this 10 times today.
