MEDITATIVE MIND Realigning and Moving with Purpose

Keep Christ at the center of all your activities. There should be an observable difference between the church and the world. Feelings are such a vital part of our emotional experience. The Prince of the Power of the Air (Satan) seeks to latch on to build mirages in the mind. Get it right the scripture emphasis the Mind of Christ (spiritual), not the brain of Christ (physical). SEEK DOMINION BY DOMINATING SELF Letting the spirit control, the natural gives root to a person actual managing their own destiny. Yet, when the physical has a tendency to override the spirit, weak elements (caffeine, THC, emotions) seek to rule your life. STEP 1 Develop the mind of Christ within your being by developing your faith (not what you see). This is primary done by hearing or reading the Word of God. STEP 2 Step two involves the efforts of others. We are not islands to ourselves the Christian walk is not a monastic journey. It is a walk of relationships and seeking how to bring the glory of God in all your interactions with others. Connections of uniformity must be Christ centered in order to influence others to seek more of God. MENTAL IMAGERY Feelings Are such a vital part of the Emotional experience. Satan (the prince of the air) latches on to build mirages in the mind. The Soulish Realm Is the realm of intrigue? It seeks to satisfy great pleasure and avert pain. The soul intersects with so many things. It’s the international man of mystery living in dual time zones. It can dwell in the past and create new experiences. It remembers when you were forced to stretch: to make something happen. It remembers your repeated victories and your losses. It speaks to your ambition. It dulls your attention and lifts you to another place and time. And it excites your imagination and camouflages hope well, even while in the midst of your enemy. Yet the Word of God brings you out into a higher plane, and creates relief by bringing order in your life. We must discern when to confront or walk away. To become a pit bull (pit bulls have only one mode: attack) or Lambs (meek). We must even discern when to agree with our enemy as it is written as Jesus suggested while we are in the way with them.
