Reminding The Mind
The mind is a powerful tool. It can be used to help us do amazing things. And it can be used to keep us from doing much at all. So what is the difference? Reminding.
Our mind develops patterns of “firing” of the neurons. They can be both simple and intricate. When they fire, at the point of the electrical or electro-chemical release, a bump will be formed over time. That physical bump is not only a memory, but it helps that same firing to happen again. It is these bumps and the firing patterns of the brain that make up what we call the mind. If we are using it powerfully for the good, we can continue to do so. If we want to move away from the negatives that hold us back, we have to get a do-over of the brain. We have to rebuild it anew. We have to remind our brain.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
And there is a way to which all have access to remind our brain. Moses said it first, and Paul quoted him.
Romans 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Said another way, at the center of our being we know how things ought to be, and with our mouth we say the same thing about it as God has said, thereby bringing us to a place of safety, deliverance, and and freedom from enemy devouring of us.
So today, we can remake our mind with what we say. In fact, we already are. When we speak our heart, we create that imagined possibility in our minds, and we then “observe” it into existence in our lives. We can use this process to win spiritual battles.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provisions. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people the promised and sent prosperity that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
