Romans 8:7
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Romans 8:7 is one passage I've stood on for over 20 years. Now, I'm diving in further to Matthew 15:19-20 and truly what Jesus said is a WOW moment which triggers miracles. I've been so focused on bullet points 3 through 7, I overlooked #1 - evil thoughts.
Jesus said:
For out of the heart proceed
- evil thoughts,
- murders,
- adulteries,
- fornications,
- thefts,
- false witness,
- blasphemies: THESE (seven) ARE THE THINGS WHICH DEFILE a man... Matthew 15:19-20
BLESSED are the undefiled... Psalm 119:1
Because of Romans 8:7 I always praised God for what the Apostle Paul pointed out which is cross references to Genesis 6:5. And I always repented when filth entered my mind. Yet now let me explain the beauty of keeping oneself undefiled. With simplicity, miracles happen when we keep ourselves undefiled.
I don't know much, yet I appreciate the LORD helping me be a better person each day and to witness not one, but many miracles throughout my journey.
BLESSED are the undefiled...
Psalm 119:1
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, 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 be any praise, think on these things.

In Closing,
When you fall, quickly repent & get back up again (Proverbs 24:16). Discover our righteousness is not in ourselves, but in the finished work of Jesus. He is our righteousness (Jehovah Tsidkenu). The righteousness we have is a free gift (Romans 5:17) to reign in this lifetime.
Isaiah 55:7 (KJV)
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
