The mind is like sponge. You put the sponge inside dirty water,it will absorb dirty water, when you squeeze it, it is the dirty water that comes in! In the same vein, you out the sponge in clean, when you squeeze it clean water comes out! The mind only gives out only what it has already absorbed! Like the computer it is "garbage in, garbage out." So, if you engage your mind to absorb negative,pornographic, lustful material, your mind will negative, pornographic, lustful thoughts! These thoughts will grow to grip your mind, habit will be formed based on these thoughts. You end up becoming a pornographic,lustful, negative person! These kind of thoughts is what has given rise to fornicators, adulterers, lesbians, homosexuals and kinds of sexual perverts. You need to understand that what we often refer to as sexual orientation, is actually a choice that began with a perverted thought. These negative thoughts , produce a negative mindset.
On the other hand, a mind engaged on absorbing positive material will produce pure, positive positive thoughts. This will lead to a positive mind set.
Meditation is the gate through which positive or negative material enter into the mind of an individual. There is a serious need for you to control your mind meditates on. By meditation, Iam not referring to mantra, transcendental meditation or even yoga, but active meditation on the truth! The Bible in the book of Phillipians chapter four verse eight offers a valid suggestion: "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are just,whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there any praise, think on these things."
