How the Mind Works Part 1

Romans 8


We are walking in today:  How the Mind Works Part 1

Witness mind through the Bible: H5315 nephesh--soul, self, life, creature, person, appetite, mind, living being, desire, emotion, passion

Eze 23:28 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind H5315 is alienated:

The Torah testifies...............
 Gen 23:8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind H5315 that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,

The prophets proclaim..................
 Jer 15:1 Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind H5315 could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.

The writings bear witness...........................
 Job 23:13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul H5315 desireth, even that he doeth.

1 Ch 28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: H5315 for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he 

will cast thee off for ever.

This morning I want to focus on a very simple topic and that is understanding the power and purpose of the kingdom of the air. Once you have an understanding of the power and purpose of the kingdom of the air, you will probably finally appreciate why media cost so much money and why we must get involved in it. When you leave here today you will get a revelation of why Arnold Schwarzenegger can spend a hundred and twenty million dollars on a two-hour movie and make 200 million dollars from it. Or you will finally understand why Beyonce’ and Jay-Z can command two hundred and forty to two hundred and fifty million dollars a year in their royalties and in their concerts and take-home pay in the hundreds of millions of dollars. This morning you will probably understand why the television is so dangerous and so powerful and why the radio is so effective. I want you to listen with an eye and an ear of revelation! This morning we are going to talk about the kingdom of the air which we are looking at the nature of the media. This is an important lesson for your children, for your grandchildren and for you!

The first thing, there's nothing on earth as powerful as the human will! Absolutely nothing more powerful than that!! As a matter of fact, the human will is so powerful that the Most High Himself does not control it! I want you to remember that--there's one thing that the Most High does not control on earth and it's the human will. Why? Because the very nature of will implies self-control. The Most High gave you the power of will.

Number two the will controls the destiny of man. Your will is the agency of the Most High's kingdom administration when the Most High established His kingdom on earth He wanted it to be administered through your will. The problem is your will is yours!! The most dangerous gift the Most High ever gave man a will, and the most precious gift the Most High ever gave man was a will. It's dangerous and it's precious--it's precious because the Most HIgh gave you the same power that He possesses. The power of a will, but it's dangerous because you also have the ability to choose against the Most High. That's how dangerous a will is. The Most High intended to use the will of man to fulfill His will on earth so The Most High wanted you to use your will for His will! The only problem is a will gives you the power to choose even against the will of the one who gave you the will!

I want you to follow this thinking now, number three--the seat of the will is the conscious and the subconscious mind. That's where the will lives, it lives in the heart. Your heart is your subconscious mind and your subconscious mind is the seat of control for your life. Then, Fiveamprayer we have to know that we have two minds! In case you don't know--you got a conscious mind and the subconscious mind. Sub means below, you got a mind that is always conscious, but then you got a mind, that is your conscious mind that feeds your subconscious information and the more your conscious mind hears something, it feeds it to the subconscious mind. That is why repetition is dangerous! Repetition constantly goes to your conscious mind but the more your conscious mind hears something it begins to deposit it or technically, downloads it to your subconscious mind. Now you are safe, as long as something is in your conscious mind you're still safe, because you can forget what's in your conscious mind. But the key is to get it to your subconscious mind, once it gets there, then you are in trouble. Why? because the mind is the center of thought and it holds the key to life. Now I'm gonna look at scripture regarding the mind:

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

The word heart here is a Hebrew word referring to the subconscious mind that's the one below. Solomon says you are whatever is in your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind controls your heart. I am going to say that again, your subconscious mind controls your heart! Whoever controls your heart controls your life! Whoever can get enough information into your subconscious mind will control you! Because as a man thinketh in his heart--that's the man! So if you want to control the man all you've got to do is control his heart. And how do you control his heart, first you work on the conscious mind first and you keep repeating and repeating repeating and repeating until the conscious mind deposits it in the heart. Now you're in trouble! That is why some of you are having problems with battles of things that you try to change and you can't change! Those old habits that you were keeping for the last 20 years and now you want to change and it's tough to change! Young people that is why The Most High tells you to stay away from evil things--if you keep watching pornography, you keep reading dirty books, you keep listening to the bad stories or or dirty jokes--it will be hard to shake, now it is a habit. Now the first time you see it it doesn't bother you but if you keep seeing it it becomes downloaded. Now once something is downloaded on your hard drive what happens, even when you are not conscious of it it is still running and all you got to do is push the right button and got to the whole thing right in front of you, in color.

The Bible says take heed what you hear Why? Matthew 12:34 (KJVA) O generation of vipers, how can ye , being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. If you don't control what comes into your conscious mind it'll soon become a part of your subconscious mind and it's in your heart! And the Bible tells us out of the heart is what the mouth really speaks. Out of the heart comes the issues of life Yahashuah said, Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. Look at that He says these things are coming from the heart!

Shema Selah we have to deal with our hearts and the conditions of them!!  Wash your mind with the word of the Most High, to cleanse your heart! https://youtu.be/UPSle8mO9UA
