👮‍♂️ Unpoliced 🚔

 👀Look I’m in the driver's seat😱Oh my.

Would you go to a place that had a sign that read “This area is unpolice enter at your own risk.” Then right beside that sign another sign that read “What happens here stays here although it may hinder you for years to come or the rest of your life.”

I think if I read a sign like that I would not enter that area at all. Staying clear sounds like a good idea but that is not the case at all. For all of us have entered there day in and day out. You might say not me! Oh yes me and you have entered that unpoliced area and no one but God knows we were even there. Where is this place? In our mind is everyone’s secret hiding place. The question is do we want that secret, unpoliced area policed? Have you ever said without saying it in words “I’ll be glad when you are dead.” Nobody knows but you, it’s an unpoliced thought. Our mind is and can be a dumping ground of some awful thoughts. Jeremiah 17:9 says this “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Some may answer only me, it's my little hiding place. You think? Not so, for in the next verse we are told it’s not. 

Jeremiah 17:10 (KJV) I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

God knows all the intents, purposes, designs, imaginations, all the secret motions of our heart. The wicked and the good. God says “I try the reins” that’s the most inward and remote part, the seat of our affections, are they hypocritical? Do we say one thing with a smile while we are thinking about something else? There is not a person that has ever lived that hasn’t done something like that. We say we love when we don’t. We say we like when we don’t. We say we haven’t when we have. Many years ago I was a witness on the witness stand in a court trial for one of my friends. I was asked many questions. I was not truthful after I took an oath saying I would. Now as the DA pressed me with many questions he knew I was not telling the truth. Now all the untruths I told him would be hard to know unless I told the court the truth. The DA asked me to come to his office. When I got there he tried his best to trick me into telling the truth to the point he got very angry. I never did and kept repeating the same story over and over. When I left his office his last words were did I know what purgeare was? I said yes and walked out of his office. Now let me say this when all this happened I was 20 years old and wild as a buck. This all happened 2 years before I gave my heart to the Lord. Nonetheless it still happened and it was wrong very wrong. When the trail was over my lying saved my friend from going to a military prison but didn’t save his strips he lost them all. You say well you did a good thing! Oh no for one can never do good by doing wrong. If I were to rob a bank; that’s doing bad? I gave to the poor, I fed the hungry and took none for myself helping 100’s.isn’t that good? No! It was wrong, although I did a good thing. I nor you can do good by first doing wrong. How does one have their mind policed? Or do you really want it to be policed? If you do, here is how. Romans 12:2 (KJV) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

The mind must be renewed. How?

Philippians 2:5 (KJV) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Having the mind of Christ Jesus is an ongoing work. Our Bible reveals the mind of Christ, the more we know what the Bible says the more we know the mind of Christ Jesus. 

Psalms 119:11 (KJV) Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. So how much of God’s Word the Bible have you got hidden in your heart? If you say not much. Then your mind is unpoliced and may cause you to get involved in something you will pay for the rest of your life. Remember this saying; Sin will take you further than you want to go, cost you more than you want to pay and keep you longer than you want to stay. You see many, many, many years later I still haven’t forgotten that court trail and what I did.  It has stayed longer than I wanted!
