Where is Your Mind At?

2 Timothy 3:1-9 ESV

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

*Ever wonder why God tells you to avoid people or leave them alone? It could be because they have Schizophrenia of the spirit, and God doesn't want that uncertainty to run off on you. This is not a joke: So many people claim to love God and live for Him, but do not listen to His suggestions on fixing your lifestyle, reaching out to others, or will not allow their mind to wrap their head around His possibilities. They claim to trust Him, but still date who that want to and not who they are led to; they love Him, but can't help or so much as listen to their brothers and sisters in need; they say they seek Him first for decisions, but yet they are still "doing what they gotta do;" or they ask for friends, but treat each other like crap or isolate themselves to one group. This list goes on, but what is a clue that their mental psyche is not aligned with the Holy Spirit is when they consistently do this on a regular basis. Sure, we all make mistakes, but in the last days inconsistent behavior is often confused with a mistake. Take the time to analyze your lifestyle, and ask yourself are you living in a bubble of what you view to be normal...OR, are you following the normalities governed by the word?
