Yom Sheni, Adar 13, 6004 – March 9, 2020
Our Potential
Perhaps you have heard f the phrase, “living up to your potential” and just wonder what does that mean. It seems to say to us that there is something else that is possible. It is as if there is something more and better that could be attained, right? How do we know if that assessment is true? We know because we feel it. There is that something inside of us that is telling us that something is not quite right. That sense that there is something more is with us at all times, and much more significant at certain times. The question is, how do make the transition. Likely, there are multiple things we could do. At least one thing comes to mind quickly and that one is found in scriptures.
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.
There is much said in this verse. The portion that we have been trained to look at is the “renewing of your mind” that we likely have all heard about. However, there is more here.
This Romans 12 scripture seems to imply that we can be conformed to this world. How does that happen? Perhaps the best answer can be found in how we are to be transformed. If we are to be transformed by the renewing of our mind, it seems to make sense that if the mind does not go through this process, then it will conform to the world. The mind then, this is the area where we need some effort. We receive inputs into our mind where they are repeated, visualized, and then taken to be true and acted upon by us. We should seek to find ways to change this process in our minds, through prayer, praise, audible hearing of scriptures, and control over the inputs received and repeated internally. When we renew our mind, we create that renewed vision around us.
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 provision, that it might overflow to those around us. 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. Lead us away from temptation. Deliver me from the evil plans that men have for me. Confound their plans and bring confusion to their hearts and minds. Send the angels to bring to us all that has been meant to come our way of that which is good from You. I release the grip of the enemies on our resources that they might flow to those You know. Send in quickly the $35,000. Send in quickly the $100,000. And send in quickly the $425,000, and then the thousandfold. I praise You for the healing You have done completely for Akhil and Siddu, and that you might teach them to speak and praise Your name. Please give to Mary and her husband all they need for their home to be completed. Please give to Peter and those around Him the seeds and all materials needed to plant their food. Help me here on my property as well, Father. Bless the works of my hands to bring about the changes to my finances. And help me to sing praises to You name in a way that is a blessing to all that hear, especially You, Father, and the angels. We ask all these things of You Father, King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
