Taking Back The Mind

For some time now I have been in my prayer times spending time praying for the body of believers that our minds might be cleansed and healed. Last night in several dreams I observed or was in vehicles that were on the edge of cliffs, about to go over the edge. These were the types of dreams where I could interact with them in some way. One in particular was with me in the driver’s seat in my jeep. I pulled into a parking space between two cars parked at the edge of the cliff. They were parked back safely from the edge, but as I pulled in noticed something about the car juat as I applied the brakes. It was like the tires were just slightly past the edge. It occurred to me that when I put the car in Park, it would roll that little bit from the slack of the gears, and the car would go over. As I considered what to do, I realized that even if I put it in Reverse to get away from the edge, that same slack would allow the car to go over. Then I realized if I left my foot on the brake, shifted into Reverse, and applied the gas gradually and very slowly release the brake, the slack would be taken up and the car would only back up. I did that, and backed safely away from the edge, then parked. The other primary image I remember is that of a semi-truck trailer teetering over the edge. As I thought negative thoughts, it went farther over. Then, as I thought positive thoughts, it moved back onto the ledge. Two things became clear to me from this group of dream-visions, and it aligns with scripture. We are in the driver’s seat of our own lives, and can help others, but we must take action. Our thinking place a key role in our success at not going over the edge.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
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.

Here we see our mind needs to be renewed, and when it is, the rest of us will be transformed as well. That renewal of the mind comes in several ways. It comes from our meditating on the scriptures, speaking them out loud to ourselves, and considering them in our minds.

Joshua 1:7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

One thing that came to me from these dreams and months of prayers is how much there is that is being put forward in our minds. When our minds go in a negative direction, we can use this same principle to push back and get control over the images in our head. We need to place positive images in our heads from scriptures, from our Father’s dreams and visions, and even from those tasks we feel called by the Father to perform, like our work here.

Let’s begin today to speak scriptures out loud to ourselves, changing the images in our heads to match what He has in store for us, and pray those images into being as well.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name Yahuah! Help us transform into being the people You need as lights in this world. Send us today Your overwhelming abundant provision, such that we cannot contain it. Forgive us our sins. Help us to renew our minds and hearts, and heal us. Deliver us from the evil that is here. Restore unto your people one hundred times one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back in any way, and more besides, as it says in Your scriptures. Rise up, O King, and come to the strong aide of Your people yet today. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
