Where is my mind?

Something I was reading today...this is from the Jon Courson's Application Commentary
Ezekial 8:7-12 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall:
Then he said unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. So I went in and saw; and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. Then said he unto me, Son of man, has thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth.

Ezekiel was told to dig a hole through the wall of the temple. As he did, a door appeared, which he entered. On the inside walls of the temple, Ezekiel saw pictures of beasts, creeping things, and pornographic items. The Lord said to him, "This is what is going on in the minds of these men who outwardly are so religious, who offer prayers and worship, who appear so righteous and pious."
Jesus had much to say about our minds. In His day, there were those who were very proud of their outward behaviour. They didn't murder. They didn't commit adultery. They didn't use profanity. And yet Jesus said, "That's not the issue. It's what 's going on inside of your minds that matters. You pride yourself in not committing adultery. But I say to you that if you look at a woman with lust, in essence, you've already committed adultery. You pride yourself in the fact that you haven't killed, but I say to you if you've been angry with your brother without cause you're guilty of murder. You take pride in not using profanity, but you use My name in a way that lacks integrity"(Mathew 5)
What goes on in the chambers of our imaginations? What if Ezekiel came on the scene today and dug a hole through your skull? What kind of pictures would he see on your walls? Psychologists tell us that we have approximately 10,000 distinct thoughts in any given day. What if those thoughts were displayed upon screens for all to see?
Paul picks up on this same idea when he speaks to us concerning our imaginations...
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Paul says the battle we wage for the mind is not to be done with human methods. Rather, we must pull down these images with spiritual weapons. I don't know what goes on in the chamber of your imagination. But each of us must deal with images that settle in our minds and come back again and again. Have you ever wondered where in the world a certain thought comes from? They don't come from the world for Ephesians 6:12 tells us we war not against flesh and blood but against rulers of darkness. In other words, the enemy takes fiery darts from hell, shoots them at us, and suddenly we find ourselves thinking things we had no intention of thinking. Paul says there's only one way to deal with those fiery darts-with the shield of faith (Ephesians 6:16). And faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
In 2 Kings 4 we read that, while making a stew, one of the guys in Elisha's prophet's school accidentally put in all kinds of bitter herbs. Elisha didn't tell his students to get rid of the stew. He didn't say to take the bitter herbs out of the stew. He said to pour in good meal and let the good meal naturally dissipate the bitterness in the pot.
Every day, there will be poisonous, bitter herbs place in the pot of your mind perhaps through the media, through conversation, through education. What can we do? Head for the hills and go to a monastery? No , because we'll bring our mind with us. Pick out the poisons and fight against them? No, because that would be a loosing battle. we art to do what Elisha's men did. We are to pour in the meal of God's Word daily. As the meal goes in, the poison dissipates. Evil imaginations begin to shrivel in the light of God's Word.
It is the Word of God that counteracts what is dangled before us all day long by this world's system. As the Word goes through you, there is a cleansing that takes place. Baal and Ashteroth, Mammon and Molech-the gods of intellect and sensuality, money and pleasure-are rendered helples by the Word. Therefore, stay in the Word, gang, and make it the number one priority of your life-not just to gain theological information, but to gain much-needed spiritual nutrition.
