How to Control Your Mind - Pt. 1

God wants us to prosper in all areas, including our minds! But if our minds aren’trenewed to His Word we will think wrongly. God makes our spirits completely new and pure when we’re born again, but renewing our minds to His Word is our ownresponsibility! If we aren’t vigilant to take captive thoughts to what God says about us, strongholds of incorrect thinking will build.

Serving Jesus in the Local Church

Serving Jesus in the ministry of helps is a supernatural service ordained by God. The local church is key to expanding the Kingdom. When you serve faithfully in the church where God set you, you help strengthen that local body so it can produce fruit and bring in the harvest. And we should serve cheerfully, prayerfully, and faithfully, knowing it is done for Jesus.

Winning the Battle of the Mind

Loving God involves not only our heart and soul, but also with our mind. Our thoughts honor (or dishonor) God. We need to be aware of our thoughts throughout the day; if thoughts try to come that contradict the Word, we can turn away from them and answer with the Word. Filling our hearts with His Word makes our minds strong, productive, and peaceful!

The Benefits of Speaking in Tongues

Praying in the Spirit (in tongues) has many benefits. The habit edifies, kindles the flame of your love for God, enlarges your spirit to grasp what God has for you, organizes your life, establishes you on solid ground, keeps selfishness out of your prayer life, strengthens your spirit, and helps you pray out your future as God designed it.

Peace in the Midst of Trouble

God promises us peace in the midst of even the worst circumstances. Pressures from finances, relationships, the unknown, and other things can trouble us — if we let them. But His peace doesn’t fall on us automatically. We must reach for it by speaking the Word boldly. He gave us the authority to enforce His Word! So, we can do as David did when he defeated Goliath and Jesus did when He answered Satan in the desert.

The Secret Place

God longs for us to draw near to Him and abide in Him continually. We can develop intimacy with Him by keeping our attention on Him, meditating on His Word, and getting quiet before Him so we can hear what He wants to say to us personally. Dwelling in His secret place keeps us in His peace, inaccessible to the enemy, and keeps us hot for Him and for the Kingdom.

Spiritual Intimacy

Do you long for spiritual intimacy with Jesus? Jesus paid the ultimate price for us to have a deep, warm, and private association with Him, even higher than the intimacy in marriage. We find the deep place with Jesus by spending time alone with Him and His Word. It’s where answers are, and where we can bear eternal fruit. Let us reach for spiritual intimacy with Him. It is what He desires!

Israel, the End Times, and the Second Coming

Scripture contains many prophecies and signs of the end times, including wars and shifts in the economy. We must watch and pray so that we know what God wants us to do in these last days. The Church will see a crescendo! We should not let our hearts be troubled. Understanding the end times impacts how we spend our days, how we talk to people, and how we view world events, especially in Israel.

Following the Presence of God

Under the Old Covenant God made it simple to follow Him: move when I do, rest when I do. It’s also simple under the New Covenant: His presence is in our spirits through His Holy Spirit, so we can follow His leading on the inside. The Holy Spirit only leads us toward what is good. And if we stray, He redirects us back to His plan. Following His presence is listening to His presence within you!

Our Inheritance of Peace

Jesus said, “My peace I leave with you.” We can trust this 100%. His peace doesn’t depend on circumstances. But to enjoy His perfect peace, we must watch over our thought life. Troubling thoughts may come, difficult circumstances may arise, rumors and evil speech may surround us, but if we stay single-minded and focused on His Word, we can enjoy that perfect peace He gave us.
