- 0:58Speaker 2: And our caption for today really interesting question, mind in
- 1:02Speaker 2: plant or mind surgery? Mind implant or mind surgery. We'll
- 1:10Speaker 2: get into that in just a moment, but first I'd
- 1:12Speaker 2: like to say welcome to everyone joining us, especially those

- 1:39Speaker 2: go ahead and pray and then we will get underway.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Father in Heaven, thank you for giving us a new day,
- 1:47Speaker 2: Please give us a new mind. In Jesus's name, I pray,
- 1:51Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again. All right, so let me just
- 1:57Speaker 2: speak to you really quickly and frankly and say I'm
- 2:01Speaker 2: not sure where you come down in answering the question
- 2:05Speaker 2: in the title, but let me just say that the
- 2:08Speaker 2: mind and mindset with which we were born ain't no good.
- 2:14Speaker 2: I know what I just said. The mind or mind
- 2:17Speaker 2: set that we were born with is no good. And
- 2:22Speaker 2: that's because we were born in sin and shapen in iniquity,
- 2:27Speaker 2: shaped in iniquity. That's the norm when we're born of
- 2:31Speaker 2: a woman. Because quite frankly, Adam messed us up when
- 2:35Speaker 2: Adam chose to sin, Adam being the first one created,
- 2:38Speaker 2: Adam being the one that represents planet Earth, all humans
- 2:42Speaker 2: on planet Earth like or represented. Yes, his DNA was
- 2:46Speaker 2: transferred to us, and the only way out of this
- 2:51Speaker 2: mess is to receive new DNA through the new birth.
- 2:56Speaker 2: In John chapter three, the Bible teaches us that God,
- 2:59Speaker 2: that God, God Christ, taught Nicodemus that he needed to
- 3:05Speaker 2: be born again, and all humans need to be born again.
- 3:08Speaker 2: That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that
- 3:11Speaker 2: which is born of the spirit, the Holy Spirit, is
- 3:15Speaker 2: from the Holy Spirit. And that is why this current
- 3:19Speaker 2: mind that we are born with I should say that,
- 3:22Speaker 2: I shouldn't say this current, the one that we were
- 3:24Speaker 2: born with, has to go, and God wants to give
- 3:27Speaker 2: us the rebirth mind, the new mind and mindset. Okay,
- 3:32Speaker 2: So let me just say that, because to be spiritually
- 3:36Speaker 2: minded is life and peace. To be carnally minded is death.
- 3:40Speaker 2: It's very simple. So again, I don't know where you
- 3:43Speaker 2: come down in your discussion of this, but the fact
- 3:48Speaker 2: is that the mind that we need comes only through
- 3:52Speaker 2: new birth. That means new mind altogether. And so we
- 3:56Speaker 2: go into the Bible Book of Philippians. Let's go to
- 4:00Speaker 2: Philippians chapter Philippians chapter two, and I will read just
- 4:07Speaker 2: verse five, I think. Now, let me read five and beyond. Okay,
- 4:11Speaker 2: I'll stop when I stop, all right. So the Bible reads,
- 4:14Speaker 2: let this mind be in you, which was also in
- 4:18Speaker 2: Christ Jesus. So God is saying, allow this. You've allowed
- 4:22Speaker 2: so many things in the past, so many things that
- 4:24Speaker 2: separate between you and God. This is something I need
- 4:27Speaker 2: you to allow. This is an imperative. Do this. I
- 4:31Speaker 2: need you to do this, and not that. The mindset
- 4:35Speaker 2: that you need comes from Christ Jesus. Receive that, and
- 4:41Speaker 2: you will have eternity with God. Okay. So let this
- 4:44Speaker 2: mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Well,
- 4:48Speaker 2: what was that mindset? Brother Paul teach us the mindset
- 4:51Speaker 2: now in the beginning of the chapter. He started to
- 4:54Speaker 2: illustrate this before he said this, and now he's gonna
- 4:58Speaker 2: close it out right, okay. And so he said, who,
- 5:01Speaker 2: being in the form of God, thought it not robbery
- 5:05Speaker 2: to be equal with God? So he knowing that he's eternal,
- 5:09Speaker 2: blessed be his name, just like God, our Father, just
- 5:12Speaker 2: like God. The Holy Ghost Michah chapter five and verse
- 5:14Speaker 2: two teaches us that Jesus too, the Messiah two is eternal. Okay,
- 5:20Speaker 2: eternity in the past straight through eternity in the future.
- 5:24Speaker 2: There was never a time that Jesus Christ did not exist.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Now we see that he came and took on humanity,
- 5:31Speaker 2: like we're saying here in a second, he took on
- 5:35Speaker 2: human form, but prior to that, he existed throughout eternity past. Okay,
- 5:41Speaker 2: So even though he's eternal, even though he's equal to
- 5:45Speaker 2: our Father, Blessed be his name, he's not saying he's saying,
- 5:50Speaker 2: that's the reality. But those people, I love them. I
- 5:53Speaker 2: created them. The Bible teaches us in Hebrews one, in
- 5:56Speaker 2: John chapter one, and Colossians in a couple of places.
- 5:59Speaker 2: It shows us that Jesus Christ is actually the one
- 6:02Speaker 2: who created us. And he's saying that even though I
- 6:05Speaker 2: am eternal, even though I have all of the prerogatives
- 6:11Speaker 2: of eternal God, Blessed be his name, I'm not going
- 6:15Speaker 2: to grasp at that and let them die. I'm not
- 6:18Speaker 2: going to hold on to that right. It's not a privilege,
- 6:22Speaker 2: that right. All of the rights of what God is
- 6:26Speaker 2: are in the bosom of Christ. And he's saying, I
- 6:31Speaker 2: can't let those people down there die like I have
- 6:33Speaker 2: to go save them Verse seven. But he made himself
- 6:38Speaker 2: of no reputation. This is when Jesus takes on human form. Right,
- 6:42Speaker 2: he took upon himself a human form of a servant,
- 6:46Speaker 2: and was made in the likeness of men, and being
- 6:50Speaker 2: found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and
- 6:55Speaker 2: became obedient unto death, even the death of the Let
- 7:00Speaker 2: me just say to you very quickly, I get excited
- 7:03Speaker 2: on this, so I have to slow down my pace.
- 7:06Speaker 2: None of us get to be obedient to death. We
- 7:09Speaker 2: don't have an option. Whenever it's time to die, it's
- 7:12Speaker 2: just time to die, full stop. There's nothing we can
- 7:15Speaker 2: do about it. You can't kravmaga your way out of it.
- 7:18Speaker 2: You can't self defend your way out of it. You
- 7:20Speaker 2: can't back yourself in the corner and fight yourself out
- 7:23Speaker 2: of the corner out of it. You cannot teach yourself
- 7:26Speaker 2: how to do any combat your way out of it.
- 7:29Speaker 2: You can't put up a bulletproof shield your way out
- 7:32Speaker 2: of it. Like you can't help message your way out
- 7:34Speaker 2: of it. You can't pray your way out of it.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Once it's time. I'm saying, when your time is up,
- 7:40Speaker 2: your time is up. You can't resist it. But Jesus,
- 7:45Speaker 2: having power and life in him, he is life and
- 7:48Speaker 2: light together unborrowed underived could have said at the moment
- 7:54Speaker 2: that he, in his humanity, would die. His divinity could
- 7:58Speaker 2: have said, nope, I'm not laying down my life. Forget it.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Divinity could have said, I'm not laying down the humanity
- 8:05Speaker 2: right now. I'm going to resist that. I'm going to
- 8:08Speaker 2: infuse humanity with power, so I don't go to sleep
- 8:12Speaker 2: as a human. I'm not doing that today. He could
- 8:14Speaker 2: have chosen that, But the Bible says that he became obedient,
- 8:19Speaker 2: not my will, but thine be done. Nevertheless, Father, not
- 8:22Speaker 2: my will, but thine be done, and he yielded his life.
- 8:27Speaker 2: He laid down his life that he might take it
- 8:31Speaker 2: again so his father would get glory out of it,
- 8:34Speaker 2: and you could be saved and I could be saved.
- 8:36Speaker 1: You see.
- 8:37Speaker 2: And so when the Bible says to let this mind
- 8:40Speaker 2: be in me, which was also in Christ Jesus, and
- 8:44Speaker 2: then we see the ultimate manifestation of humility. Now we
- 8:49Speaker 2: know that God wants us to submit ourselves to him.
- 8:53Speaker 2: He wants us to humble ourselves, and in humbling ourselves,
- 8:58Speaker 2: we are aligned with gess is Christ, and that is
- 9:02Speaker 2: the mindset of Christ. And then the Bible says of Christ,
- 9:05Speaker 2: though of Christ. Wherefore God hath highly exalted him, and
- 9:09Speaker 2: hath given him a name which is above every name,
- 9:12Speaker 2: that at the name of Jesus, everynee shall bow, and
- 9:15Speaker 2: every tongue shall confess, of things in heaven and things
- 9:21Speaker 2: under the earth. That Jesus Christ is Lord to the
- 9:24Speaker 2: glory of God the Father. And so we share in
- 9:27Speaker 2: his sacrifice, we share in his humility, and we will
- 9:32Speaker 2: be exalted in him. The Bible Book of Daniel, chapter
- 9:36Speaker 2: seven says that the people of God, the saints, will
- 9:39Speaker 2: also be elevated with Christ. Make it a great day,
- 9:43Speaker 2: take the mind of Christ.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
- 9:48Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
- 9:54Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
