The message for the beloved Children of God- "The Battle of the Mind!"

Good morning, 

The message for the beloved Children of God- "The Battle of the Mind!"

Praise the Lord for another day people of God. So, Monday's word was "Spiritual Warfare" and Tuesday's word "The Battle of Warfare. " Today we're going to get some understanding about the "Battle of the Mind." God's Word comes to us today with the simple message, "Everyone should be quick to listen; slow to speak." We need to hear the message or messenger (the speaker) because, within our daily ways, usually the instinct to talk is stronger than the instinct to listen. Please don't kill the messenger, prophets, prophetess (or overseers) are one inspired (called) by God through the Holy Spirit to deliver a message. Let's look in the book of wisdom first, Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice. Now, read Proverbs 28:26 Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered. We're at war Children of God in the mind. Let's look at our way of hearing too. A foolish person “gives an answer before he hears” the end of something. A wise person tries to resist defensiveness, and to listen from a nonjudgmental stance, training him or herself not to formulate opinions or responses until everything is on the table and the whole story has been heard. Listening shows you want to understand what the other person is experiencing, is feeling, and is thinking. We should listen with the ears of God, so we can speak the Word of God always to others. In James 1:9, Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. James is pointing out that it's not the circumstances of this short, fading life that matters the most. It's the position we will hold in the life to come that is significant for us and others. James shows us that true faith adopts God’s eternal perspective always by (God's) His Word. Whenever a person senses that you are not really listening to what he or she has to say, I believe you're foolish. It's the word of God in Proverbs 18:2, A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. Get understanding, there is a difference between having ears and having “ears to hear.”  We have two  types of hearers: those who let the Word of God pass straight through their ears and those who truly listen and seek understanding by God's Word. Some hear the Word, yet they do not allow it to take root. Others hear the Word and open themselves to understand and accept it so that it transforms them. Those who have “ears to hear” allow the Word to bear fruit to the glory of God. It is up to the hearer to decide whether to take the Word seriously and pursue understanding of the Word of God. Get this people, Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” He is calling for people to pay close attention! My question for today, " Are You Listen?" The man who perseveres under trials is blessed in this life, because you're an over comer. Seeking God’s truth takes energy and focus; it takes a willingness to be challenged and changed. While the way of God’s truth is not the most comfortable or fun path to take always, you can be assured that it is the best for you life. In Proverbs 18:13,He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. This means don't give an answer before thou hast heard the problem. So, some people have asked where did you get that kind of faith? The answer in Romans 10:17-18, So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. Heavenly Father, help us to open up the inner man and receive from you. Amen !

Scriptures to Meditate on this week :

Ephesians 6:11-17,Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.Matthew 18:18-19,“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
