The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Sixteen

THE SEVEN POVERTY'S of CHRISTMAS ~ Day 16 A Mindset In A Manger The angels were glad that their prison visitations were over. Funny thing though, it wasn't as hard as they had made up their minds it would be. The biggest challenge they faced was hearing the taunting voices of the fallen angels. "You too will fall! You won't make it in heaven! Wisdom is too hard for you to understand!"  The taunting put downs stopped when the angels set their minds on things above and things that had fallen. Today is December 23, two days before Christmas when their earthly journey will end. Like Teachers, they would never really know how many lives had benefited from their efforts. The Blessing of Deficit was a heavenly concept that brought an Income of Grace for those who embraced it. Today the angels would enter the territory of the Prison of One's Own Mind. Many people on earth created jail cells in their own bodies. As creation on earth groaned on, the devil had become a Master of Deception by gaining control of most forms of media. Public Communication was manipulated through blatant lies, misinformation and partial truths. The goal of the enemy was to create fear and isolation.  To protect themselves from fear, folks began to quarantine in their own minds. Seclusion became a protection. Segregation became a safety net. Isolation became an acceptable detention. Home confinement became an assurance of immunity. The culture around them became insistent on creating within them a Shelter Mindset. Messages were sent to solidify the Mindset,  "You'll be safe as long as you don't leave your shelter." "There's unsafe people outside your home." "Listen to the media and you'll the truth." People were freely persuaded to imprison themselves in their own mindsets. The angels were awestruck at the simplicity of recognizing the deception that controlled human mindsets. The huddled together to heart-storm and come up with a game plan. They could not intervene, but they could influence. The solution they came up with was to use Billboards to spread positive messages. The Billboards of Mindset Guardians *Discard corrosive thoughts. *Develop positive thoughts. *Deal with damaged memories. *Identify dangerous temptations. *Study Wisdom to avoid deception. *Defend against becoming offended. *Guard against becoming overwhelmed. *Don't allow your mind to wander into misleading news. *Reject falsehoods immediately. *Create a clean mind. *Allow only mindsets that stir up, build up and cheer up. The greatest Mindsets of all are a Giving Mindset and a Gratitude Mindset. God gave us a Mindset in a Manger as a gift of Truth that Sets us Free from worldly mindsets of sin. Receive Him, be grateful for Him and share Him. "Embrace the power of salvation's full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken word of God. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:17TPT‬‬ "For although we live in the natural realm,  we don't wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims.  Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide.  We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God.  We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One." ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10:3-5‬ ‭TPT‬‬ Coming Next: The Christmas Place
