Grand Rising Fiveamprayer!! As we continue our study on the MIND And if we’re going to grow if we’re going to fulfill destiny and walk in purpose, we must face this head on your! emotions are real, but they’re not reliable guides for your life now hear me clearly emotions are not evil. They are part of the soul Yah gave you Yahusha wept he got angry. He felt sorrow in Getseheme but even in the depths of emotion he chose truth. He didn’t allow his feelings to override his assignment. That’s what spiritual maturity looks like when you feel the fear but walk inn Faith anyway when you feel your fears in your mind being stronger! You must learn to recognize conflict between spirit lead mind and the emotionally driven flesh. The flesh wants relief the spirit wants growth the emotions want to escape the spirit calls for endurance and your mind is the battlefield with this war is won or lost. That’s why the enemies is not just attacking your circumstances. He’s attacking your thoughts because if he can hijack your thoughts your emotions will follow and your life will unravel, but you have a choice you can rise above that pattern. You can stop living emotionally and start living intentionally you can renew your mind daily with the word of Yah until peace becomes your default and clarity becomes your posture that’s what Yah wants for you. It doesn’t work when your mind is tossed by every move by every storm he wants you rooted! You must be focused! a person who’s not led by emotions, but led by revelation! today I dare you to pause and ask, have I been thinking with my emotions or thinking with my mind have I let how I feel become more important than what is true and if so, am I willing to shift because only when your mind is aligned with Yah’s word, can your life align with Yah’s purpose? What if I told you that your life today is a reflection of the thoughts you entertained yesterday that the quality of your decisions, your peace, your progress, and even your relationships all come down to the strength of your mind, but how emotional you are, but how gifted you are, but how trained your mind is because you can be anointed and still unstable you can be intelligent and still impulsive when your mind is anchored in truth you don’t just survive you lead you grow and you win is life will throw you into situations with your emotions are louder than logic. The diagnosis comes the betrayal hits the money dries up and suddenly your heart wants to panic. Your nerves want to quit and your voice wants to lash out but in that moment, it’s not your education or even your experience that will carry you. It’s the state of your mind! either you’ve trained it or your emotions will take over the Bible puts it plainly 2 Timothy chapter 1 verse seven for Yah has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power of love and of a sound mind not a scattered mind not a reactive mind the sound mind, disciplined, clear and stable. That’s Yah’s design for you. That’s how you’re meant to live so why does it matter to train your mind because life doesn’t always give you time to catch your breath before the next challenge comes if your mind is unprepared, your emotions will rise and run wild and every time you respond from a place of instability you distance yourself from purpose, but when your mind is trained in Yah’s truth, you respond with wisdom, not worry with faith, not fear look at YAHUSHA in the wilderness. He was hungry, tired, and physically vulnerable. The enemy didn’t just tempt his body. He targeted his mind. If you are the son of Yah was not just a suggestion. It was a mental attack, but YAHUSHA had trained his mind with truth so his response was instant it is written that’s how a strong mind wins by recalling Yah’s word faster than your emotions can react! think about Joseph betrayed by his brothers falsely accused thrown into prison. Everything in his emotions would’ve told him to hate to revenge to give up, but Joseph’s mind had been trained to see Yah’s hand, even in painful seasons he understood that purpose isn’t canceled by pain. It’s often refined through it. That’s the power of a renewed mind! Daniel was in a foreign land where everything was designed to erase it and compromise conviction the Bible says Daniel purpose in his heart that he would not defile himself that purpose didn’t come from emotion. It came from decision, and that decision was possible because his mind was already made up before the pressure! in each of these lives, the common denominator wasn’t luck. It was mental preparation. It was spiritual clarity. It was discipline and I want you to know that kind of clarity is available to you too. You don’t have to live tossed around by fear, discouragement, or mood swings. You don’t have to keep losing sleep because your thoughts won’t shut off. Yah has given you the power to train your mind and when you do everything changes you start thinking before reacting you start responding with wisdom instead, instead of worry, you begin to hold your peace even in chaos you no longer let people‘s opinions control your value you stop being a slave sto feelings and start being a steward of your thoughts and make no mistake. This is not just personal development. This is spiritual warfare. The enemy knows that a trained mind is dangerous because when your mind is renewed, he loses access he can’t plant lies where truth has taken root. He can’t manipulate emotions when your convictions are firm that’s why he works overtime to keep you distracted, anxious, and mentally lazy but Yah is calling you to something greater to a sound mind a steady mind a transformed mind so I ask you what kind of mind are you building one shaped by truth or one ruled by emotional chaos because your future your peace and you’re calling all depend on it. Be honest emotions are powerful. They can inspire you to take big steps or paralyze you into doing nothing they can connect you to people or destroy relationships in seconds, but the truth is when emotions sit in the driver seat of your life. You’re headed for a crash!!!! ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH YAH!!
