The mind is a sacred zone of the body. It is where we are tempted to do the things that are against what common sense and the word of God says is wrong. Permission is needed for the thought to go further and enter into an action. Rejection needs to happen as soon as the thought enters our mind. I often wonder how it is that temptations seem to linger in my thoughts. It is because they were allowed to enter through hesitation and the smallest of consideration. Is it the human condition to allow this? Is it weakness on my part? There are many things in our past that were allowed to be in our lives that now haunt our present. I find myself calling on the name of the Lord to take these thoughts away from me time and again. I have to remind myself that I am no longer a part of this world. I have died to this world and have become a part of the world in which Jesus is a part of when I accepted Him as my savior. Physically I am in this world but spiritually I am in the spiritual world. This also means nothing enters this earthly existence that has not been allowed to enter (given permission). This all comes down to faith and divine grace. Calling on the name of Jesus affirms belief in Him and places a lock and "Do Not Enter" sign on the door. Temptation can knock but can no longer enter unless you open the door. Jesus experienced and practiced this in the desert when tempted by Satan.(Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-13)
