FLEE DESOLATION
The moment you catch yourself thinking a negative thought, you should reject it instantly. Do not stop to say “goodbye” to the error but immediately switch your attention to the Presence of God. Indeed, we may say that when error presents itself to consciousness, the first five seconds are golden.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Then let him which is in Judea flee into the mountains;
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house;
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes (Matthew 24:15-18).
Jesus teaches this lesson in his own graphic way. The holy place is your consciousness, and the abomination of desolation is any negative thought, because a negative thought means a belief in the absence of God at the point concerned.
It is impossible to forget this illustration once we have taken it in.
