The Sense-Ruled Mind!
Introduction
The unrenewed mind is at war against the Word of God. It does not believe the Word of God. It is always praying for faith but never arriving. The unrenewed mind is always struggling to get faith, always confessing failure, always talking unbelief, saying they believe in the Word of God but their confession and actions negated by their lifestyle. You never see them acting on the Word of God. The key to remember is to Believe the Word of God. Confess the Word of God. And act or Live according to the Word of God.
How many Christians are still acting like babies because the Word of God is not number one in their lives. Their priorities are mixed up so their lives are mixed up. Their minds are mixed up because they’re not concentrating on the word of God is important to know who we are in Him so we can think on his word speak His word and act on His word.
Many Christians don’t know who they are in Christ Jesus, they are still babies in their faith, and because of that they are continually speaking doubt. God says that we are complete and him and we like nothing but yet this is not the confession of the church. The church is always confessing about insufficiency the lack of something, but the two scriptures I’m going to share with you state that we lack nothing if we are lacking it’s because we are baby Christians and we don’t know the rules of the game. God expects us to go to him in faith, not doubting, but in faith, and if we don’t go to him in faith, we will receive nothing from him.
And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power: Col. 2:10
May grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. By these He has given us very great and precious promises, so that through them you may share in the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desires. 2 Peter 1:2-4
• Grace: the ability that God gives you through the understanding His word and provisions needed to do His will.
• Peace: the world offers chaos but through standing on the word of God we know that he has our back and we are not afraid of bad news. Psalms 112: 7, “He will not fear bad news; his heart is confident, trusting in the LORD.”
• Fear thou not; for I am with thee be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isa. 41:10
• No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. Isa. 54:17
• What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom. 8:31-39
The way we Believe is the way we will Speak. And the way we speak is the way we will Live.
The Two Different Confessions Who Is Double-Minded.
Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God—who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly—and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. James 1:5-8. The scripture in this Epistle of James is a perfect example of many in the body of Christ. They want the blessings of Abraham with the faith of Thomas.
Lord God, when he presented himself to Thomas, He scolded him for his lack of faith but he said, mature, blessed, happy strong are those who can believe without seeing. (John 20:24-29).
We are surrounded by our five senses. Our five senses govern us, and that’s what gives us a double-minded confession. This was the problem with Thomas and those like him he wanted to see the Lord physically so he would believe. The Lord did not say to Thomas or even the church today I understand that you’re weak and full of doubt but I will help you anyways. God says without faith it is impossible to receive anything from Him.
The way we Believe is the way we will Speak. And the way we speak is the way we will Live.
