BRAIN CLEANSING I

Recently in the night I heard this phrase: ‘Sometimes we think we are cleansing our brain and it actually is just getting washed.’
Of course, this was a play on words, but it also gave me pause to wonder: How do we cleanse our brain? It starts by refusing to allow thoughts and images to enter our mind that damage and tear down righteous behaviors. Paul, an apostle addressed this in Romans 12: “Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God” (12:2).
To cleanse the brain is to ‘renew the mind.’ I believe there is an order to this: Repentance, Silence, Listening and Instruction. Prayer is made of these four things. The brain washing is to chase false religious teachers, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram and drinking Beet Juice and such for brain cleansing…and end up with brainwashing.
Our instruction is to hear the Word of the Lord and to read the scriptures… “so that we may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.” Our ultimate goal for a Clean Brain is as Paul wrote: “But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16).
“Now the one seed sown among the thorns—this is one who hears the word, but the worries of this age and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” Jesus
