Transcript
- 0:01SPEAKER_00: Welcome to One Gospel, bringing you the full truth of God's Word.
- 0:05SPEAKER_00: Clearly explained.
- 0:07SPEAKER_00: Together with our host, Johann Tuit, we'll unpack scripture to understand what's written and grow as a disciple of Christ.
- 0:15SPEAKER_00: Ready to take notes?
- 0:16SPEAKER_00: Let's open the Bible.
- 0:20SPEAKER_01: Hi there and welcome to today's episode of One Gospel.
- 0:24SPEAKER_01: I am your host, Johan Tut, and as always, I'm excited to share the Word of God with you.
- 0:28SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 0:29SPEAKER_01: And so I've been teaching on this series called Stinking Thinking.
- 0:35SPEAKER_01: You know, and I've been teaching on how it's important that we not only, you know, can renew our minds, but we also have to renew our minds with the Word of God in order to walk in the fullness that God has for us.
- 0:47SPEAKER_01: And so, as a short recap, you know, I've showed that, you know, we were born with a um that we were raised with a mindset that was according to the course of this world, according to the spirit uh of the God of this world, and the spirit of the God of this world that is now working in the children of disobedience, and it and it made us alienate, alienated from the things of above, of the things of the kingdom of God.
- 1:11SPEAKER_01: And so we couldn't adapt that kingdom mindset.
- 1:15SPEAKER_01: We couldn't adapt that way of thinking because the kingdom of God wasn't here yet.
- 1:19SPEAKER_01: And so in the old covenant, you know, when when they when God called us to repent, it you know, it just it meant shoop, it meant to return to starting point and then just start over again.
- 1:30SPEAKER_01: But they couldn't change their minds, they couldn't get a new mindset, they couldn't get a new way of thinking because the thinking of the kingdom of God didn't arrive yet, and there was only one way of thinking, and that was according to the God of this world in this in uh you know in the things of this world.
- 1:44SPEAKER_01: And so, but then Jesus came and he started preaching on you know, repent, you know, the kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe the gospel.
- 1:51SPEAKER_01: And so what he said is now there is a kingdom coming, and this kingdom that has come brings a new way of thinking, a new faith system, a new think system.
- 2:01SPEAKER_01: And now in Christ, when we repent, we can change our minds, we can uh think differently because now we can adapt that think system, that faith system of the kingdom of God, and that you know just does away with the old way of thinking.
- 2:18SPEAKER_01: So we we are we don't need to think anymore like that.
- 2:22SPEAKER_01: The Bible says that we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh or think after the flesh.
- 2:26SPEAKER_01: We don't have to think the things of the flesh, the things of this world.
- 2:30SPEAKER_01: We don't have to think the way the the God of this world makes the rest of the world think, you know, the children of disobedient think, you know, and so we don't have to do that anymore because we can now adapt this new kingdom mindset.
- 2:41SPEAKER_01: We can now think the things of this kingdom.
- 2:44SPEAKER_01: And so, and then I also thought on, you know, how you know we can take all these thoughts that are not of God, you know, captive and bring them under the authority of Christ Jesus.
- 2:55SPEAKER_01: I said that you know, you don't you mustn't pay attention to thoughts that are not of God because the moment you're gonna pay attention to it, it means you're attending the thought, you're gonna meditate on it, you're gonna ponder on it, and you're gonna accept it and receive it.
- 3:08SPEAKER_01: And then that thought finally will start to descend to your heart and determine how you truly think in your heart.
- 3:16SPEAKER_01: So your thoughts are not determining who you are, what you think in your heart is determining who you are.
- 3:24SPEAKER_01: Proverbs 23, verse 7 says, As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
- 3:28SPEAKER_01: Not as a man, think it in his brain.
- 3:30SPEAKER_01: As the man thinketh in his heart.
- 3:31SPEAKER_01: So the moment the thoughts enter and you start to think on it, and it starts to go into your heart, then it starts to determine who you are, even though maybe that who you really think that you are is not in line with the word of God.
- 3:43SPEAKER_01: So, where are you gonna pay where are you gonna pay your attention?
- 3:46SPEAKER_01: Where are you gonna pay it?
- 3:47SPEAKER_01: Are you gonna pay it to the things of God and set your mind on the things of the kingdom of God, or are you gonna pay it and set your mind on the things of the world, on your carnal, fleshy man, you know, which is enmity against the things of God and against God.
- 4:02SPEAKER_01: And so I've been teaching on that man, it was very powerful, and I left, you know, around, you know, the Bible verse, Mark 11, 23, uh, you know, and I will go continue there so we can pick up where we left.
- 4:14SPEAKER_01: And I truly believe and pray that it's really gonna be a blessing for you.
- 4:17SPEAKER_01: So, Father God, I pray that you give me the right pronouncements, the right words in English to bring to them what you have given me in my heart and has changed me so much, Father.
- 4:29SPEAKER_01: Thank you for your word and thank you for this teaching.
- 4:32SPEAKER_01: I pray in Jesus' name.
- 4:34SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 4:35SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 4:35SPEAKER_01: So in Mark 11, you know, uh, of course, uh there was a withered victory, and Peter was uh, you know, he was in shock, you know.
- 4:44SPEAKER_01: Look, the victory which you curse has withered, you know, and then Jesus says in verse 22, have faith in God, which is the key.
- 4:50SPEAKER_01: Sometimes it says, have the faith of God, you know, and so have faith, have the faith of God, think on the things of Allah.
- 4:58SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 4:58SPEAKER_01: So, but then in verse 23 he says, For surely I say to you, so this is I am talking to you.
- 5:04SPEAKER_01: I say to you, whoever, that means anyone, who says to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
- 5:19SPEAKER_01: Now, I've been teaching on this verse a lot, uh, you know, especially uh, you know, to uh show that there is power in our words, you know, that we can speak life and we can speak death, we can speak things into existence, you know, we can speak, you know.
- 5:38SPEAKER_01: I've mean I I the whole project that I have here in Brazil, you know, the mission project that I have, it's two acres.
- 5:46SPEAKER_01: It started with one little plot of land, and now we have 34, and it's one it's one big piece of land, and so, you know, and it's it's reaching far and beyond, amen.
- 5:59SPEAKER_01: It's amazing, but I spoke that into existence.
- 6:02SPEAKER_01: I spoke everything that we built on the project into existence.
- 6:06SPEAKER_01: I spoke all the gospel trucks that we have driving all over the world to preach the gospel everywhere.
- 6:12SPEAKER_01: I spoke that into existence.
- 6:14SPEAKER_01: Everything that we have achieved for the kingdom of God, I spoke into existence with the words that I choose to that I choose to speak.
- 6:24SPEAKER_01: Now, so I've been teaching a lot on that.
- 6:27SPEAKER_01: And how the Bible says, you know, put a guard in front of your lips, you know, keep guard of and keep watch over the no over my mouth, because you know, we can speak things that are not in line with the word of God, and we can speak things that are in line with the word of God.
- 6:40SPEAKER_01: And if we speak the things that are not in line with the word of God, then that will cause us problems in our lives, whether we're gonna speak life or whether we're gonna speak death.
- 6:48SPEAKER_01: It's in the power of our tongue, amen.
- 6:50SPEAKER_01: And so those who live by it will eat the fruit of it.
- 6:53SPEAKER_01: So if I speak life, I will eat the fruit of life, amen.
- 6:56SPEAKER_01: So, anyway, I've been teaching on that, but you know something, and that's where a lot of people get it wrong.
- 7:02SPEAKER_01: It's not your words that you speak that will cause the mountain to move.
- 7:08SPEAKER_01: Now let me repeat that again.
- 7:10SPEAKER_01: It's not the words that you speak that will cause the mountains to move.
- 7:17SPEAKER_01: That what causes the mountain to move is what you believe in your heart.
- 7:24SPEAKER_01: It's your true, true think system, your faith system, what your true mindset is, what you truly, truly believe and think in the core of your whole being, in your heart, where your soul and your spirit come together.
- 7:41SPEAKER_01: Now, you only have what you say when you say what you believe in your heart, because that's what it here says.
- 7:53SPEAKER_01: It says that if you say to the mountain, be removed and cast into the sea, and do not doubt in your heart, but believe in your heart that the things that you have said will be done, you will have whatever you say.
- 8:14SPEAKER_01: And so it's not the words that move the mountain, it's your faith, what you truly think and believe in your faith system, your heart system, and your um think system in your heart.
- 8:25SPEAKER_01: Man, that's powerful.
- 8:27SPEAKER_01: And so there's a lot of people confessing, proclaiming, you know, and you know, and just speaking and speaking and speaking, you know, but you know, if you do not mix that with what you if you do not mix that with faith, is if that's not really what you believe in your heart, then they remain fruitless.
- 8:44SPEAKER_01: It just remains fruitless.
- 8:46SPEAKER_01: And so speaking the right words doesn't change the situation, but a renewed mind thinks that.
- 8:53SPEAKER_01: And again, it's healthy, you know, to proclaim and to confess.
- 8:57SPEAKER_01: But if you do not believe it and really believe that, really think that in your heart, then you know why would you confess?
- 9:02SPEAKER_01: Why would you confess something that you don't not really believe?
- 9:06SPEAKER_01: Why would you confess that?
- 9:07SPEAKER_01: Why would you say things that you not truly believe?
- 9:09SPEAKER_01: You only speak what you truly believe and what you're really convinced of.
- 9:12SPEAKER_01: Man, and I, you know, you can be wrong about what you can what you are convinced of, man.
- 9:17SPEAKER_01: I've I've said things, I'm not gonna, you know, I'm not a person that's gonna say, you know, I've done everything perfect, you know, blah, blah, blah.
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no, no.
- 9:24SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm, you know, I make mistakes, man.
- 9:27SPEAKER_01: I'm sometimes I'm an elephant, you know, in a in a China closet, you know.
- 9:32SPEAKER_01: Closet full of China, you know, the to break that stuff.
- 9:36SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm sometimes, you know, there's just like not a leaf in front of my mouth, you know.
- 9:40SPEAKER_01: And so for me, it's very important to put a guard in front of my lips because I I say sometimes things, and then, you know, um, I'm truly convinced that what I'm saying is the absolute truth, just to find out that it's not.
- 9:52SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, you have to be very aware on what you are gonna say, what are you gonna confess, what are you gonna, what are you gonna proclaim, you know, and then you know, when it's not in line with the things of above, if it's not in line with the word of God, if it's not the kingdom mindset, if it's not the the way of the kingdom but the way of the world, then just don't speak it.
- 10:11SPEAKER_01: Don't say those things that are not in line with the word of God.
- 10:15SPEAKER_01: Man, I'm telling you, these are deep and powerful truths and really will change your life, you know, if you will get this, you know.
- 10:21SPEAKER_01: Are you guys still following me?
- 10:24SPEAKER_01: You know, let's let's read Philippians 4.
- 10:27SPEAKER_01: And this is also something so beautiful and so powerful, you know, it just adds to everything that I've been teaching on already.
- 10:35SPEAKER_01: And I know it's a lot.
- 10:37SPEAKER_01: Sometimes maybe feels like, yeah, okay, I understand.
- 10:40SPEAKER_01: You know, you have two different kinds of thinking.
- 10:41SPEAKER_01: Well, do you really understand?
- 10:43SPEAKER_01: Because if you really, really understand, then you know you will start to think right.
- 10:48SPEAKER_01: And you start to think on the things that are right, you start to think on the things that are from above, and then you will also experience that in your life.
- 10:55SPEAKER_01: If you do not experience it in your life, then you're thinking on the wrong things.
- 10:59SPEAKER_01: If you are not walking in the fullness of God, if you are not walking in the promises of God, if you are not walking in the blessings of God, if you do not walk in all of his promises that are yes and amen in Christ Jesus, then there is something wrong with your thinking.
- 11:10SPEAKER_01: There is something wrong with your think system, your faith system, there's something wrong in your heart because you are believing other stuff.
- 11:18SPEAKER_01: You are counter-believing what God says.
- 11:21SPEAKER_01: You know, but when you truly believe in your heart, in your thinking that I have what God says that I have, and I can do what God says that I can do, and I am who God says that I am, and he is who he says that he is, and he's not a man that he should lie, then you will have that.
- 11:33SPEAKER_01: Because you have whatever you say if you do not doubt in your heart, but believe that whatever you say and believe what God says, then you'll have whatever you say and what God says that you have.
- 11:41SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 11:42SPEAKER_01: That's a mouthful, brothers.
- 11:44SPEAKER_01: Alright, let's go to Philippians 4, and I will read from verse 4, and then probably to verse 9.
- 11:53SPEAKER_01: Alright, it says, Rejoice in the Lord always.
- 11:57SPEAKER_01: Again, I will say, rejoice.
- 11:59SPEAKER_01: Why?
- 11:59SPEAKER_01: Because there's fullness of joy in the presence of the Lord, and if you're in the presence of the Lord, you're thinking on the things of above.
- 12:04SPEAKER_01: You're not thinking on the things of below, and then you can rejoice.
- 12:08SPEAKER_01: So if you're in the presence of the Lord, you know, you can rejoice in him always.
- 12:13SPEAKER_01: So it's an it's a choice, and that's why he gives this command.
- 12:16SPEAKER_01: He says, Rejoice in the Lord always.
- 12:18SPEAKER_01: Again, I say rejoice.
- 12:19SPEAKER_01: Why?
- 12:20SPEAKER_01: Because you can.
- 12:21SPEAKER_01: How?
- 12:21SPEAKER_01: By thinking on the things of above, because there's joy, fullness of joy in the presence of the Lord.
- 12:26SPEAKER_01: All right, let your gentleness be known to all men.
- 12:28SPEAKER_01: The Lord is at hand.
- 12:29SPEAKER_01: He's nearby, he is within me.
- 12:32SPEAKER_01: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, that's rejoicing.
- 12:39SPEAKER_01: Let your requests be made known to God.
- 12:43SPEAKER_01: So don't be anxious for nothing.
- 12:45SPEAKER_01: Don't worry about anything.
- 12:47SPEAKER_01: Don't pay attention to those thoughts that cause you to worry.
- 12:52SPEAKER_01: Don't pay attention to those thoughts that are not aligned with the word of God that are not of the things of above, that are of the things of below, of earth, carnal, fleshy things from the God of this world and the spirit that is working in the children of disobedience.
- 13:04SPEAKER_01: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God and the peace of God, ah, the peace of God.
- 13:15SPEAKER_01: I'm telling you, the peace of God is just some kind of peace.
- 13:18SPEAKER_01: That's a different kind of peace than that.
- 13:19SPEAKER_01: We, you know, as men humans, you know, know.
- 13:25SPEAKER_01: We think that peace is, you know, I have enough money in my bank account, I have a house, a roof above my head, I have, you know, I have a bicycle to go to my work, you know, I have a full refrigerator, I can choose what I can eat, you know, everybody's happy, and so I have peace.
- 13:42SPEAKER_01: Well, if that all is gone tomorrow, then where is your peace?
- 13:46SPEAKER_01: It's going with it, you know.
- 13:47SPEAKER_01: That's like pseudo-peace.
- 13:50SPEAKER_01: It's not real peace, you know, it's peace made in China.
- 13:52SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 13:54SPEAKER_01: So I'm sorry, I don't want to offend anybody, it's just a joke because everything is made in China, amen.
- 13:59SPEAKER_01: So, but this peace is not a real peace.
- 14:02SPEAKER_01: But Jesus says, I will leave you my peace, my peace I give to you.
- 14:05SPEAKER_01: Not as the world gives, I give to you.
- 14:07SPEAKER_01: Don't let your heart be troubled.
- 14:09SPEAKER_01: Don't let your heart be troubled.
- 14:10SPEAKER_01: Don't let your mindset, your thinking be troubled.
- 14:13SPEAKER_01: Don't let your think system be troubled.
- 14:15SPEAKER_01: Because I give you my peace.
- 14:17SPEAKER_01: It's a peace that surpasses all other kinds of pieces.
- 14:19SPEAKER_01: You know, it doesn't matter what kind of storm you're in, what is raging around you, it doesn't matter your circumstances, it doesn't matter what comes against you, it doesn't matter what the world says, the government says, the news says, the doctor says, your finances say, it doesn't matter anything.
- 14:34SPEAKER_01: But you can have this perfect peace because you will keep him in perfect peace whose mind stayed on you because he trusted you, whose mind, whose mind is set on the things of above, who thinks on the things of above, who ponders and meditates on the things of above, that he will keep in perfect peace.
- 14:52SPEAKER_01: Why?
- 14:53SPEAKER_01: Because his mind is set on him.
- 14:55SPEAKER_01: And so it says, you know, let your regression be known to God and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding.
- 15:03SPEAKER_01: You cannot comprehend that peace.
- 15:06SPEAKER_01: People in the world cannot comprehend how you have peace when everybody else is falling apart, like my spiritual father Andrew always says, like a two-dollar suitcase.
- 15:15SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 15:16SPEAKER_01: You know, this man, I've been in situations, you know, like when during COVID, everybody was panicking, man, around me.
- 15:23SPEAKER_01: I mean, even Christians, you know, they were panicking.
- 15:25SPEAKER_01: Everybody, you know, just like they followed the rules and they were already taking all these injections, you know, and all that stuff, you know, and I'm not judging anybody, but they were so afraid and they had no peace.
- 15:36SPEAKER_01: There was no peace.
- 15:37SPEAKER_01: While the Bible, even Paul says, listen, you know, I can do two things.
- 15:41SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna remain in the flesh, which means fruitful, uh fruitful, fruitful labor for you, you know, or I can go to the Lord, you know, and I don't know what I'm gonna choose because with to being with Christ is far most, is far most the best.
- 15:55SPEAKER_01: It's the best, best thing to be with Christ.
- 15:57SPEAKER_01: Now, I don't have a dead wish, don't get me wrong, and you don't have to help me to get there soon happy.
- 16:02SPEAKER_01: I'm just saying that, you know, when this world ends, when we end, and this life will end one day, we all will end here in this physical form that we have now.
- 16:12SPEAKER_01: We immediately will be in the presence of Jesus, which is what we are looking for.
- 16:16SPEAKER_01: That one day, you know, we will get home.
- 16:18SPEAKER_01: We will go to the Father, we'll be in his presence forevermore, and there will be no more pain, no more sorrow, no more sadness and doubt and fear and wrong thinking and all that stuff.
- 16:27SPEAKER_01: It's not there anymore.
- 16:29SPEAKER_01: You know, that's what we are that's why we are so joyful, because we have hope.
- 16:33SPEAKER_01: This is the anchor for our souls.
- 16:36SPEAKER_01: You know, COVID came or whatever comes, you know, and we're suddenly, you know, like oh, you know, and we are so afraid and worried and anxious, and you know, there's no more peace.
- 16:47SPEAKER_01: That's wrong because you're pondering and thinking on the wrong things.
- 16:50SPEAKER_01: Your mind is set on the wrong things.
- 16:52SPEAKER_01: That's why you do not have peace, because if you set your mind upon the Lord, he will keep you in perfect peace.
- 16:59SPEAKER_01: That's what Paul here says.
- 17:01SPEAKER_01: He says that the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and will guard your mind through Christ Jesus.
- 17:08SPEAKER_01: If you set your mind on the things above, if you think on the things of the kingdom, then God, you know, when you only thank him for things instead of being anxious, you're just gonna thank him, you trust him, and you set your mind on him, you know, and you rejoice in him, you know, then he will guard your hearts and your minds, your thought life and your heart, your think system, your faith system, he will guard it with his peace.
- 17:37SPEAKER_01: Man, what a promise, what a promise.
- 17:40SPEAKER_01: And then he says in verse 8, finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there's any virtue, if there's anything praiseworthy, whatever is good, whatever is in line with the word of God, whatever builds up, whatever you know, glorifies God, you know, whatever is you know of above of the things of the kingdom, you know, whatever is good, and everything that's praiseworthy, meditate on these things, think on these things, meditate on it, ponder in it, take those thoughts, and just make them your own.
- 18:17SPEAKER_01: And when you do that, you know, he says, the things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and then the God of peace will be with you.
- 18:31SPEAKER_01: The God of peace, he's not a God of disorder, he's not a God of anxiety, he's not a God of worry or depression or fear or doubt.
- 18:39SPEAKER_01: No, he is a God of peace.
- 18:42SPEAKER_01: And he will keep you in perfect peace if you keep your mind stayed upon him because you trust in him.
- 18:48SPEAKER_01: Man, that's beautiful, that's a promise, man.
- 18:50SPEAKER_01: I'm telling you, if the God of peace is with you, then the peace of God is with you.
- 18:57SPEAKER_01: If the God of healing is with you, then the healing of God is with you.
- 19:02SPEAKER_01: If the God of love is with you, then the love of God is with you.
- 19:06SPEAKER_01: If the God of provision is with you, then the then the prosperity and the provision of God is with you.
- 19:11SPEAKER_01: Then if the God of grace and favor is with you, then the favor and the grace of God is with me.
- 19:16SPEAKER_01: I'm telling you, if the God of faithfulness is with you, then the faithfulness of God is with you.
- 19:24SPEAKER_01: Man, it's beautiful.
- 19:25SPEAKER_01: It is truly, truly beautiful that the God of peace and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding be will be with you.
- 19:36SPEAKER_01: Man, how by meditating on the things of above, by thinking on the things of above, by adapting that mindset through the renewing of your mind.
- 19:49SPEAKER_01: So we need to renew.
- 19:51SPEAKER_01: If your thinking causes you to worry and strive and doubt, then your your thinking has to be renewed, and then you need to repent.
- 19:58SPEAKER_01: So let's read Ephesians 4.17.
- 20:02SPEAKER_01: Ephesians 4.17.
- 20:08SPEAKER_01: And this is some pure beautiful stuff here.
- 20:11SPEAKER_01: Ephesians 4.17 it says This I say therefore, and testifying the Lord that you should no longer walk at the rest of the Gentiles walk in the fertility or fertility of their minds, having their understanding darkened and being alienated from the life of God, I've been teaching on that, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart, of their think system, who being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
- 20:38SPEAKER_01: But you, my brother or my sister, you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard him and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus, that we need to repent, think different, to think on the things of above, to get this kingdom mindset.
- 20:52SPEAKER_01: And that you put off concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lust, according to the way of this world, the thinking of the world, the course of this world, you know, the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh and the pride of life, to do the will of the flesh and the will of the mind, you know, according to the spirit that is working in the children of disobedience, that is inspired by the God of this world, you know, you have to put off that former conduct, that old thinking, that old mindset, that old man that grows corrupt according to the deceitful lust, and then be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
- 21:24SPEAKER_01: That's not being renewed in your spirit because your spirit, 1 Thessalonians 5.23, is always it's already perfect.
- 21:30SPEAKER_01: No, the spirit of your mind is your mindset, the way that you think, it's your think system, it's how you think in your heart.
- 21:36SPEAKER_01: That you be renewed there by the word of God to put truth in, so to get the light out, and said, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness, to put on the new man with this new thinking, with this new mindset, with this new think system and faith system that is from above, that is from the kingdom of God.
- 21:57SPEAKER_01: So, how do you put off the old?
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: And how do you put on the new?
- 22:01SPEAKER_01: How do I put off the carnal fleshy sensory men and put on the new spiritual, you know, kingdom men?
- 22:08SPEAKER_01: How am I gonna do that?
- 22:09SPEAKER_01: By the renewing of my mind, by putting the word of God into my mind so that I can ponder, meditate on it, think on it, take these thoughts, embrace those thoughts so that they will descend into my heart and they will start to form and change and adapt the way that I'm thinking.
- 22:29SPEAKER_01: It it changes the way that I'm thinking, and that what I think, as a man thinking in his heart, so is he.
- 22:37SPEAKER_01: So is he.
- 22:39SPEAKER_01: Man, this is powerful, man.
- 22:41SPEAKER_01: This is so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
- 22:44SPEAKER_01: So we have to create this kingdom mindset.
- 22:47SPEAKER_01: Go and think on the things of above.
- 22:50SPEAKER_01: His thoughts are higher than our old thoughts.
- 22:53SPEAKER_01: His his thoughts are of peace and not of evil.
- 22:56SPEAKER_01: You know, so and it's perfect peace, the God of peace and his perfect peace, you know, which surpasses all understanding.
- 23:03SPEAKER_01: Will God our hearts and our minds if we think on the things of above.
- 23:05SPEAKER_01: So the old man, you put it off.
- 23:08SPEAKER_01: You know, and many people ask me, how many times do I need to repent?
- 23:12SPEAKER_01: How many times do I need to repent?
- 23:14SPEAKER_01: Well, as as many times as needed, until you only think on the things of above, because repenting is not you, you know, um confessing your sins to God and everything that you have done wrong in your life.
- 23:25SPEAKER_01: That's not what repenting is, that's what religion teaches you and teach and makes you think that you need to, you know, repent is like I need to confess all my sins over and over and over again, while there is no more sin consciousness, and God is not even not even occupied with your sins.
- 23:39SPEAKER_01: He's occupied with do you got the blood?
- 23:42SPEAKER_01: Are you in my son?
- 23:43SPEAKER_01: Is my son in you?
- 23:44SPEAKER_01: Are you believing the gospel?
- 23:45SPEAKER_01: Did you confess it with your mouth and believed it in your heart?
- 23:48SPEAKER_01: And are you righteous?
- 23:50SPEAKER_01: Are you innocent before me?
- 23:51SPEAKER_01: Even though your sins were like scarlet, I'll wash them white in the snow and put them away to the othermost parts of the earth, and I doesn't remember them anymore.
- 23:57SPEAKER_01: Because the handwriting that was testifying against you has been blotted out at the cross.
- 24:00SPEAKER_01: It's done and over with.
- 24:01SPEAKER_01: So he's not busy with your sins.
- 24:05SPEAKER_01: He's not busy with your sins.
- 24:06SPEAKER_01: Repenting means to change your mind, to start to believe God, to trust God and think on the things of above, think of the things of the think on the things of the kingdom, create this kingdom mindset.
- 24:16SPEAKER_01: You know, so you need to repent, change your mind as often as necessary, renew your mind as often as necessary until you only think on the things that are of above, and you no longer allow thoughts into your thought life that are not of God.
- 24:31SPEAKER_01: You can counter all those fiery dots, and you know, you no longer are led by you know the course of this world.
- 24:39SPEAKER_01: Man, what a beautiful, beautiful truth.
- 24:40SPEAKER_01: Romans 12 2 says, Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
- 24:49SPEAKER_01: So by thinking on the things of above, you will all understand what the perfect will is of God.
- 24:53SPEAKER_01: So don't walk according to the you know to the things of this world.
- 25:00SPEAKER_01: Don't be conformed to the things of the world.
- 25:02SPEAKER_01: So, how do you renew your mind?
- 25:04SPEAKER_01: Not just by putting the word in yourself and putting yourself full with the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, because there's a lot of people, and I say it with respect, they have a lot of word in them, you know, theologians, they have a lot of word in them, but the heart is far away from God.
- 25:17SPEAKER_01: So, no, you need to change your thinking system, your faith system.
- 25:22SPEAKER_01: And then, you know, when you put the word in, mix it with faith, embrace it, ponder on it, meditate it, make it your own, receive it as the only truth, you know, focus on it, you know, that it becomes your whole way of reasoning, your whole way of thinking, your whole way of you know acting, and it becomes yours, and you just receive and embrace that as the only truth, so it descends to your heart and then will form the true way of your thinking, because as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
- 25:53SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 25:54SPEAKER_01: Man, that's powerful stuff, and I really pray that you were blessed by it.
- 25:58SPEAKER_01: I was blessed by it, you know, and I really want to encourage you, you know, to go and read the word and then make it your own.
- 26:05SPEAKER_01: Just start to renew your mind with the word of God, just put the seed in and mix it with faith so it will bear fruit in your life and will become manifest, and you will become exactly what God says that you are, and that you will have exactly what God says that you have.
- 26:19SPEAKER_01: Man, it's powerful.
