Get Rid of Mental Clutter

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Mental clutter is anything with which you crowd your mental processes in such a way that your mind becomes a maze in which you always wander in circles to get anything you need. This can be a real burden on your mental processes as the strain of filtering out what you do not need affects you negatively. Additionally, mental clutter is mental garbage, a great tool with which the enemy cages the understanding of people in order to foster ignorance so that they do not ever receive the required wisdom and understanding to deal with challenges. They are therefore mentally caged and stuck, with their mental situation impacting negatively on their spiritual, physical and financial situations. Even when there is knowledge, your understanding is limited and even when it appears that you are gaining understanding, the enemy tries to clutter your mental processes with irrelevancies just so that you do not gain understanding to do what you have to do to achieve divine purpose and freedom. The earlier you get rid of mental clutter and further restrain yourself from accumulating mental clutter, the better for you as you will have a more positive outlook to life.

One way of getting rid of mental clutter is to always allow the Holy Spirit free rein in your mental processes. This is because the Holy Spirit knows best what you need and what your mental processes can positively accommodate. Therefore, do not crowd God out of your thoughts by ignoring the Holy Spirit and focusing on what your flesh desires to do with your mental processes. When you crowd God out of your thoughts, you keep the Holy Spirit out of your mental processes thereby giving your imagination free rein to veer off in all directions without the necessary guidance of the Holy Spirit. As your imagination goes gaga, it gathers every possible debris that may not be useful to you for processing and storage and without the Holy Spirit to filter off the debris you do not need, your mental processes become cluttered. The more clutter you have, the more difficult it is to access pertinent and positive information which you require to be successful. For instance, when you allow your imagination free rein, you are likely to dig up the filth of past hurts which you may not want to give up; and as you constantly reflect on such filth, you are likely to keep contemplating vengeance, stewing in refusal to forgive as well as its attendant bitter streams which do not bring clean water. As you clog your mental processes with such filth, creativity and the power of positive thinking becomes a distant ray of light in a dark starless sky.

Majesty 2

Mighty God, Eternal Rock of Ages

King of kings and Lord of lords

I bow before You for You are high and lifted up

None compares to You, Lord

In wisdom, power, majesty

You reign and reign and reign

In the heavens, in the earth, beneath the earth

In the valleys, the waters

In the affairs of humanity

You are the Governor amongst the nations

Who can compare to Your awesome power and presence

Mighty God, Creator, Healer

Everlasting Father, El-Shaddai

I AM WHO I AM

Shekinah glory

Savior, Redeemer, Justifier, Sanctifier

You saved me, rescued me

So I can sing your praises at all times

Jehovah Adonai

Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent

All sufficient God, glorious in holiness

Fearful in praises

You are worthy of our praises

Man of war, Lion of the tribe of Judah

Mighty in battle

You deserve the praise

For there is none like You

Hallelujah

No More Indefinite Waits 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Procrastination on account of ignorance, lack of clarity, vagueness, confusion, fuzzy mindedness can a keep a person grounded in a spot for eons; no forward movement, stagnating into retrogression. The man at the pool alongside a number of other people came to the pool to be healed. But rather than get healed, they stayed in the same condition in which they came to the pool; not for a few weeks, months, a year or two but a number of years; probably in pain, in tears, in anguish, daily hoping for the elusive cure as someone always stronger somehow always got into the water before them.

In the case of the man who was healed by Jesus Christ, he had been in that state of physical, spiritual and mental paralysis for thirty eight long years and had come to the conclusion that there was no exit door out of his problem. So even when Jesus Christ asked if he wanted to be made well, the lame man gave a string of excuses for not getting well. The situation had overwhelmed him and blurred his initial vision and goal of getting healed; the reason for which he went to Bethsaida in the first place. But after thirty eight years, he gave up on the vision of getting healed and was content to simply remain at Bethsaida; lamenting his woes, throwing pity parties through the string of excuses he gave. Getting healed was no longer his goal as pity from whoever was what he wanted.

Fortunately, Jesus Christ had greater interest in him than a pity party. Jesus had great plans for the man, to take him back to his original vision and goal of getting healed in addition to restoring him to the original purpose for which he was created; a fully enriching and fulfilling life in Christ Jesus. The man’s conclusions that his case was completely hopeless and would only require pity from people were illogical before Jesus Who immediately rewrote the man’s history from hopelessness to a bright future as the man suddenly received his healing in His spirit, soul and body by the spoken word of Jesus Christ.  His whole being was energized, revitalized to a new life of joy, happiness in Christ Jesus. For one, he was physically capacitated to earn an income; he was spiritually and mentally rejuvenated and revitalized to take on the real world he had stayed away from for thirty eight years. The man who hitherto was full of lamentations boldly retorted that Jesus Christ Who made him well was the One Who authorized him to carry his bed, though it was the Sabbath. Prior to the encounter with Jesus, this man would not dare carry his bed on the Sabbath.

Beloved, the man was spiritually and mentally and physically prepared to take on the world because he had received a great touch from God through Jesus Christ. You can also take on the world if you will simply rise in faith above whatever dampened your enthusiasm, zest for life because Jesus paid the full price for you on the cross. Please read Isaiah Chapter 53 verses 1 to 5, Colossians Chapter 2 verses 13 to 15; whatever challenges your progress in any area of life.

Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. Psalm 102 verse 13.

Do you want to be made well; get well? Please read John Chapter 5 verses 1 to 9, note verse 6 for details of what prompted Jesus Christ to ask this question.

Jesus Christ broke and destroyed the limitations of waiting indefinitely, usually over a period of time for the moving of the water; considering that only one person usually the first to step into the water got healed. So the other people described as a great multitude of lame, impotent, etc who could not step in immediately the water was stirred by an angel kept waiting; for yet another move by the angel. The wait was such that no one there knew exactly when they could get in which explains why the man who was healed by Jesus Christ spent thirty eight long years at the pool; waiting for the moving of the water, as well as anyone who could come to his aid and drop him in the water when the water was moved.

Fortunately for him, Jesus showed up and broke with tradition. The man did not have to wait for the moving of the water because the Creator of the water as well as the angel who stirred the water was there to make the man whole without the man stepping into the water. At His word, His spoken word and sent word which always accomplishes divine purpose, the man was healed and freed from the limitation of waiting endlessly.
