Jesus said clean the inside of the cup first, then the whole cup will be clean!

Luk 11:39  And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. 
Luk 11:40  Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? 

Meaning that The Thinking needs to be clean, before the behavior can change!

Pro 23:7  For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 

People that can’t control their mouths, Also can’t control their Minds! So Be Real Careful of what you are saying, because you are listening!

Mat 12:33  Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 
Mat 12:34  O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 
Mat 12:35  A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 
Mat 12:36  But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 
Mat 12:37  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 

We are dealing with INFORMATION WARFARE! The serpent in garden attacked Adam and Eve with knowledge that Appeared to be Good! Remember that the tree was called the knowledge of good and evil! So it was good and evil mixed together, and anytime you MIX it, you contaminate it! The Second thing is that it looked good on the outside, but the inside was Evil! Just like some, people, places, and things, Appear to be good outwardly, But inwardly they are EVIL! You can know the tree by the fruit it PRODUCES! And you can know people by what they produce, in other words by what comes out of them!!!

Mat 7:15  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 
Mat 7:16  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 
Mat 7:17  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 
Mat 7:18  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 
Mat 7:19  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 
Mat 7:20  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 

The Holy Scriptures say that man looks at the Outward Apearance, But God looks at the heart…In other words God looks at your thinking, yes whats on the inside of your mind, your true motives, and reasons for why you do the things that you Do!

1Sa 16:7  But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. 

Isa_29:13  Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

Mat_15:8  This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

The Mind has the character of a Garden! Whatever you plant in you, you grow into. A doctor BECOMES a Doctor because he studies medicine, a lawyer becomes a Lawyer because he studies Law! You can also learn to Become Ignorant, by Affiliating, and Associating with FOOLS!

Pro 13:20  He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

Ecc 12:13  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 
Ecc 12:14  For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. 

The Need for A Clean Mind! And a Godly Character!

(Let There Be Light!)
