EMPOWERING THE THIRD DAY ECCLESIA

Jehu was specifically chosen through Elisha's ministry for a singular mission: to dismantle the house of Ahab and eradicate the corrupting influence of Queen Jezebel. This was not a broad mandate to guide Israel towards prosperity; it was a precise operation targeting powerful evil that had deeply infiltrated the nation's leadership and its people. The accounts in 2 Kings 9-10 unveil essential insights regarding prophetic function that resonate profoundly with our contemporary spiritual and political landscape that we should not only pay attention to but seek keen insight into its flaws, limitations, and mistakes.Jehu's military campaign proved to be remarkably effective. He methodically dismantled and destroyed Ahab's household, arranged for Jezebel's dramatic downfall, and obliterated Baal worship across Israel. His fervor for this destructive mission was so profound that it became legendary— “the driving of Jehu” became a term synonymous with relentless and forceful action aimed at eradicating evil.The scripture notes that Jehu "destroyed Baal from Israel" and that "the Lord said to Jehu, 'Because you have done well in accomplishing what is right in My eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab all I had in mind to do, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation'" (2 Kings 10:28, 30). This divine approval confirms that Jehu acted in perfect alignment with his anointing. His mandate for destruction was not only justified but also celebrated by heaven until other aspects of Jehu's character began to emerge.Seeing beyond the Obvious However, beneath this remarkable testimony, there are substantial underlying errors and questionable values that need to be acknowledged, especially in the context of what may be seen as another season of Jehu's anointing in action. One crucial element we must not ignore during this pivotal moment is spiritual blindness, the inability to understand and accurately articulate what we observe globally concerning the overextension and misrepresentation of leadership authority from both spiritual and political perspectives.Isaiah 42:18 Listen, you deaf ones; look, you blind ones, that you may see! 19 Who is blind but My servant, or deaf like the messenger I am sending? Who is blind like My covenant partner, or blind like the servant of the LORD? 20 Though seeing many things, you do not keep watch. Though your ears are open, you do not hear.” …The deficiency of spiritual insight regarding accurate biblical interpretation, especially from the standpoint of spiritual or political leadership representation, is a matter that requires our attention. Why is this important? As the scriptures caution, when there is no clarity of vision, the people will perish. The term "perishing" signifies a casting off of restraint, reflecting a complete absence of discipline, sound judgment, and wisdom to think and act appropriately.

INTERCESSION AND THE DAYS OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE! We are currently experiencing a period of profound and intense conflict, where various forces are attempting to influence and steer both the Church and the people's will towards narratives that contradict the Lord's divine purpose. I am particularly referring to the agendas of specific individuals in government roles, along with the spiritual governance that directly affects human leaders. All governments are spiritually linked to influences that extend beyond their reach, regardless of whether those influences are beneficial or detrimental. Nations are shaped and influenced not only by effective political strategies, wealth, and innovation but also by the acknowledgement of God's presence, who appoints and removes Kings and rulers. This divine awareness fosters a spirit of authentic leadership characterized by sobriety, wisdom, courage, and the enduring peace and prosperity of its people.Our identity and representation are intricately tied to spiritual influence. The real challenge arises when we allow ignorance and the agendas of darkness to exploit our spiritual power and influence, seeking to establish a conflicting order on earth. This is precisely what the enemy has attempted since the arrival of Christ.Ezekiel 22:30: “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.”The present era is a pivotal moment in the unfolding of God's prophetic initiatives across the globe. If there is a singular focus that will define the current emphasis and directives of heaven, it is the cultivation of a well-developed, mature intercessory spirit. The depth and quality of our understanding of intercession and our approach to operating within the intercessory space are critical to the Body of Christ. Indeed, the lack of a robust intercessory framework is arguably one of the key reasons for the unfortunate stagnation and decline in spiritual effectiveness observed in the Church over the past few decades.The Intercessory Space: A Foundational WombThe intercessory space is the spiritual womb that carries, births, and nurtures all ministry gifts and leadership qualities. This sacred space is where divine purposes are conceived and brought to fruition. When this space is compromised, every other structure we attempt to build crumbles like a house of cards. Intercession is not merely a supplemental activity within the Church; it is the bedrock upon which the health and vitality of all other spiritual functions rest. Without intercessory competence, the Church risks birthing immature and unstable leadership and ministries that cannot withstand the pressures of a broken world.

Two Streams Of Thought And Their Sources There are two distinct streams of thought: one that flows from God, producing the fruit of righteousness, and one that emerges from fallen human desires, producing the fruit of rebellion. Thoughts rooted in self-interest or worldly desires often operate subtly, working through well-crafted mechanisms designed to blind and deceive us. These thoughts are designed to lead us away from God's desired order, pushing us into actions and decisions contrary to His will.The notion that every action is informed by the condition of one's thought system should fundamentally change how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. Everything in the physical realm is an extension of the mind's inner state.This underscores the importance of having a strong spiritual connection with Christ, for it is through this connection that we gain the power to control the environment of our minds—the seat of our thought system. Those who lack sound biblical spiritual value systems cannot understand nor maintain a healthy, well-balanced thought lifestyle, regardless of how intellectually or psychologically informed they may be. However, this does not mean such individuals will not be opinionated. In fact, they are often the most opinionated, the loudest voices in the room, and the most persuasive. If you are not firmly grounded in what you know, they can easily convince you to adopt their beliefs and thought patterns.Such individuals often compensate for the lack of spiritual alignment by using their assertiveness and false self-confidence to push their agenda. This paradigm goes beyond simply being ignorant, it is, however, a deep reflection of a well-seated deceptive, insecure spirit at work within them.

True Worship is not about how broken we are, but about how COMPLETE we are in CHRIST.Discerning the heart and call to the place of true worship is one of the eye revelations the Spirit of the Lord is emphasizing in this season of watch. There's a dangerous misconception in the body of Christ today, one that suggests God is most pleased with us when we come to Him in our brokenness, dysfunction, and inadequacy. While it's true that God meets us in our weakness, He does not desire for us to stay there. Worship is not an act of presenting our flaws to God as if they are the offering itself. No, true worship is the surrender of a life that has been given over to Him, a life that acknowledges its insufficiency but steps into the wholeness He provides. The Error of Malachi's Generation: Worship as an AfterthoughtIn Malachi, God rebuked the priests for offering defiled, broken sacrifices—lambs that were blind, lame, and diseased (Malachi 1:8). These were offerings they would never dare present to a human authority, yet they thought God would accept them. Why? Because their worship had become disconnected from His worth. They assumed that any sacrifice, no matter how flawed, was enough. But God's response was clear: "When you offer blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice lame or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you?" (Malachi 1:8).

The core concept of divine integration starts with recognizing that the human mind is the main connection between spiritual reality and human experience. Paul's message to the Ephesian church was not simply advice for better thinking; it was a profound insight into how spiritual life functions within our human context. The apostle pointed out a significant difference between the thought processes of non-believers marked by futility, a lack of understanding, and a separation from God's life and the transformed thinking that defines genuine Christian experience. This disconnection from divine life, as Paul clarifies, is not due to God's reluctance to engage with humanity, but rather to a fundamental mismatch between unregenerate thought patterns and divine truth. The human mind, when operating in its unregulated state, resembles an outdated operating system trying to run advanced modern software. This inevitably leads to system failure, which is evident in spiritual disconnection and dysfunction.When our thought patterns remain unrenewed and unchanged, as Paul describes the mindset of the Gentiles as in Ephesus as “futility”." This creates a barrier that hinders the smooth flow of divine life. This illustration is similar to having access to pure, clear water, but directing it through dirty pipes—no matter how pure the source may be, the water will always be contaminated and unfit for consumption

God's Original Design for Human Sensory FacultiesThe human sensory system was never a random biological development. It was intentionally crafted by God as part of His divine architecture for human life. While we commonly identify five primary senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—these are merely the gateways to a deeper communion between our inner life and the outer world. They are not just for survival or pleasure, but for anchoring us into God's presence, His creation, and meaningful relationships with others.Each sense was designed to serve a sacred purpose:To awaken awe and worship in response to God's beauty and majesty.To enhance our sensitivity to others, fostering empathy and godly love.To cultivate inner peace, as our perceptions align with the reality of God's goodness and sovereignty.These faculties were meant to be instruments of union—binding our body, soul, and spirit in agreement with heaven's rhythm.2. Senses and Emotional Alignment: The Pathway to WholenessWhat we sense often shapes what we feel. And what we feel deeply influences how we live. When our sensory input is distorted or out of sync with God's truth, it leads to emotional fragmentation. This disunity causes us to live by reactive habits and impulses, often rooted in fear, lust, pride, or pain. These were never God's intentions.But when our senses are trained in righteousness:What we see evokes a vision of hope and beauty.What we hear affirms truth, not fear or deception.What we touch transmits love and connection.What we taste and smell remind us of God's provision and goodness.A renewed emotional life, anchored in redeemed senses, allows us to respond to God with authentic worship, to people with genuine love, and to ourselves with peace, purpose, and dignity.

AKING EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE: CHAPTER 14-B. HABIT FORMATION AND MINDSETMindsets serve as the foundation and cornerstone of our habits, shaping how we think, act, respond, and navigate life, both consciously and subconsciously. Habits are the automated responses of a conditioned mind. Psychologically, they are formed through repeated thoughts and behaviors that create neural pathways, essentially, the brain's way of conserving energy. But before a habit takes root, there is always a mindset: a governing framework of beliefs that shapes how we interpret and respond to life. Habits are not necessarily bad; in fact, we need the discipline of habit to achieve any meaningful success in life. Good habits produce great results! Habits emerge as the results of either a continual practice of a negative or positive thought frame that significantly impacts our behavioral pattern. These behaviors are not merely created; they become deeply rooted and ingrained in our thoughts and actions. And as a result, this distorted or incorrect thinking leads to detrimental habits, as our mindset heavily influences the emotions that drive our choices and decisions, which often evolve into established habits.An individual's mindset evolves and solidifies through the consistent repetition of their thought patterns, which ultimately shapes their perspective and overall approach to life and relationships. In essence, habits are formed by conditioning the brain to think and respond in particular ways when faced with specific situations. This process can be influenced by various factors, such as past experiences, environment, personal needs, emotional distortions like fear, traditions and culture, other social norms, and beliefs.When we reflect on the broader context of behavioral pattern formation, it becomes evident that our deepest desires, strong yearnings, and intense emotions often serve as the primary drivers for habit development. These habits, in turn, prompt our brains to create and strengthen neural pathways, allowing us to perform certain actions.Thought Pattern Forms Habit Pattern.Once the brain has thoroughly processed and recognized the positive effects and satisfaction derived from a specific habit, action, exercise, or thought frame, it releases the necessary craving chemicals that drives the desire to replicate or reinforce that feeling. This pursuit aims to maintain a sense of fulfillment and contentment, even if these actions may ultimately be detrimental. This occurs because the brain lacks the ability to distinguish between what is beneficial and what is harmful to the body. Our brain's wiring means that once a habit is established, it becomes an automatic trigger—similar to a programmed computer that instinctively fills in certain words or phrases while we type our documents.As a result of the innate desires that are deeply ingrained in our brains, we tend to develop habits that are triggered by specific stimuli, causing our brains to release chemicals that create a certain state of mind, often resulting in feelings of anxiety, joy, anticipation, or contentment, especially when we are about to engage in a particular behavior that has become deeply ingrained in our daily routines.Naturally, these so-called "rewards of formed habits" may only provide temporary satisfaction, but the brain has a tendency to become addicted to the release of certain chemicals it produces in response to these habits, much like how we can develop addictions to external stimuli such as drugs, alcohol, or even exercise. The potential danger lies in the fact that these chemicals, whether released internally or triggered externally, may eventually fail to provide the lasting satisfaction we desire.

HABIT FORMATION AND MINDSETMindsets serve as the foundation and cornerstone of our habits, shaping how we think, act, respond, and navigate life, both consciously and subconsciously. Habits are the automated responses of a conditioned mind. Psychologically, they are formed through repeated thoughts and behaviors that create neural pathways, essentially, the brain's way of conserving energy. But before a habit takes root, there is always a mindset: a governing framework of beliefs that shapes how we interpret and respond to life. Habits are not necessarily bad; in fact, we need the discipline of habit to achieve any meaningful success in life. Good habits produce great results! Habits emerge as the results of either a continual practice of a negative or positive thought frame that significantly impacts our behavioral pattern. These behaviors are not merely created; they become deeply rooted and ingrained in our thoughts and actions. And as a result, this distorted or incorrect thinking leads to detrimental habits, as our mindset heavily influences the emotions that drive our choices and decisions, which often evolve into established habits.An individual's mindset evolves and solidifies through the consistent repetition of their thought patterns, which ultimately shapes their perspective and overall approach to life and relationships. In essence, habits are formed by conditioning the brain to think and respond in particular ways when faced with specific situations. This process can be influenced by various factors, such as past experiences, environment, personal needs, emotional distortions like fear, traditions and culture, other social norms, and beliefs.When we reflect on the broader context of behavioral pattern formation, it becomes evident that our deepest desires, strong yearnings, and intense emotions often serve as the primary drivers for habit development. These habits, in turn, prompt our brains to create and strengthen neural pathways, allowing us to perform certain actions.Thought Pattern Forms Habit Pattern.Once the brain has thoroughly processed and recognized the positive effects and satisfaction derived from a specific habit, action, exercise, or thought frame, it releases the necessary craving chemicals that drives the desire to replicate or reinforce that feeling. This pursuit aims to maintain a sense of fulfillment and contentment, even if these actions may ultimately be detrimental. This occurs because the brain lacks the ability to distinguish between what is beneficial and what is harmful to the body. Our brain's wiring means that once a habit is established, it becomes an automatic trigger—similar to a programmed computer that instinctively fills in certain words or phrases while we type our documents.As a result of the innate desires that are deeply ingrained in our brains, we tend to develop habits that are triggered by specific stimuli, causing our brains to release chemicals that create a certain state of mind, often resulting in feelings of anxiety, joy, anticipation, or contentment, especially when we are about to engage in a particular behavior that has become deeply ingrained in our daily routines.

In Ephesians chapter 6, verses 10-13, the Apostle Paul encourages the believers in the Church of Ephesus to "put on the whole armor of God." This metaphor highlights that God does not engage in warfare with any of His creations, including Satan himself. However, it is important to note that Satan has chosen to be God's archenemy, making man created in God's image a primary target.The key point here is that God exists in a realm of His own; there is no entity, power, authority, or system potent enough to match Him in battle. Nevertheless, the concept of donning God's full armor speaks to a more profound state of existence that can drive the enemy away. By examining how the first man fell to the darkness in the garden and contrasting that with how Christ triumphed over Satan during His earthly ministry, we gain valuable insight into the importance of wearing the whole armor of God.Without a doubt, God embodies Spirit, and all His actions stem from this spiritual essence. However, God is also an intelligent being, which informs various principles and aspects of our interactions, thoughts, and reasoning, as we are created in His image and likeness. Thus, when Paul urges us to don the complete armor of God, he offers a spiritual metaphor that illustrates how our minds should be shaped when confronting the councils and forces of darkness. If we are not vigilant, these dark forces aim to influence our mindsets through matters related to our feelings, emotions, and intellect.The armor of God constitutes a complete framework of existence, guided by the mindset offered to us for total protection as we engage life's issues. It represents a powerful attitude that every believer should embrace as part of the culture of the Kingdom of God if we are to achieve victory over the forces of darkness, just as Christ did during His time on earth.

INTERCESSION AND THE DAYS OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE! We are currently experiencing a period of profound and intense conflict, where various forces are attempting to influence and steer both the Church and the people's will towards narratives that contradict the Lord's divine purpose.I am particularly referring to the agendas of specific individuals in government roles, along with the spiritual governance that directly affects human leaders. All governments are spiritually linked to influences that extend beyond their reach, regardless of whether those influences are beneficial or detrimental. Nations are shaped and influenced not only by effective political strategies, wealth, and innovation but also by the acknowledgement of God's presence, who appoints and removes Kings and rulers. This divine awareness fosters a spirit of authentic leadership characterized by sobriety, wisdom, courage, and the enduring peace and prosperity of its people.Our identity and representation are intricately tied to spiritual influence. The real challenge arises when we allow ignorance and the agendas of darkness to exploit our spiritual power and influence, seeking to establish a conflicting order on earth. This is precisely what the enemy has attempted since the arrival of Christ.Ezekiel 22:30: “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.”The present era is a pivotal moment in the unfolding of God's prophetic initiatives across the globe. If there is a singular focus that will define the current emphasis and directives of heaven, it is the cultivation of a well-developed, mature intercessory spirit. The depth and quality of our understanding of intercession—and our approach to operating within the intercessory space—are critical to the Body of Christ. Indeed, the lack of a robust intercessory framework is arguably one of the key reasons for the unfortunate stagnation and decline in spiritual effectiveness observed in the Church over the past few decades.The Intercessory Space: A Foundational WombThe intercessory space is the spiritual womb that carries, births, and nurtures all ministry gifts and leadership qualities. This sacred space is where divine purposes are conceived and brought to fruition. When this space is compromised, every other structure we attempt to build crumbles like a house of cards. Intercession is not merely a supplemental activity within the Church; it is the bedrock upon which the health and vitality of all other spiritual functions rest. Without intercessory competence, the Church risks birthing immature and unstable leadership and ministries that cannot withstand the pressures of a broken world.

There is a cry in the Spirit — a call to awaken. Not to mere church activity or religious duty, but to a burning heart, alive with longing for God. This message is for a distracted Church, for leaders and followers alike whose hearts have grown cold under the weight of noise, ministry routines, and superficial devotion.We're in a season where God is drawing His people back to the altar — not the altar of convenience or performance, but the altar of communion and fire. The example of Elijah stands as a prophetic symbol of the posture we must recover: one of burning, unwavering pursuit.Elijah's heart was consumed by the presence and honor of God. He lived in alignment with God's voice, not the approval of men. He confronted false altars, rebuilt the true altar of the Lord (1 Kings 18:30), and walked with a sensitivity that allowed him to hear the “still small voice” (1 Kings 19:12). His life was a continual offering.

What Shapes And Determines Our WarfareThough this material does not attempt to cover all aspects of spiritual warfare which is almost impossible. The primary focus however, as you might have noticed, is to shed light on the critical role the various faculties of the unregenerated human soul play through its mindset and thought system in shaping perspectives, habits, and well rooted behavioral patterns. There are multilayered social and spiritual issues evident across communities today, and it has become increasingly clear that humanistic psychology, while seemingly necessary, and the conventional religious paradigms alone, are insufficient to resolve these deep-rooted behavioral challenges. The key to understanding and addressing many of these problems lies in gaining clear insight into the biblical reality of the human soul's anatomy. Without this spiritual understanding, attempts to address human attitude and behavior often fall short, missing the core issues that lie at the heart of human struggles.Beyond the war and struggle to uphold and preserve truth in its purest form within our modern post-truth culture, I believe the next most vital battle is the one taking place within the core of every human mindset. The reality is that the war for truth and the ever-increasing conflict of the human mind is intertwined. We cannot genuinely hold onto truth in a mindset already captured and ensnared by fear, lies, denials, and deception.

At the start of March, specifically on the first day, I shared an inspiring message focused on the themes of kingdoms, dominions, and thrones. There has been an increase in activity that reinforces the importance of this timely message, which we must embrace to remain faithful watchmen and Portals of heaven's unfolding prophetic agenda.To truly comprehend the kingdom of God is to perceive it as the living, dynamic realm of God's life, perfectly embodied in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our capacity to grasp the significance and extent of God's dominion over all human affairs and authority is directly proportional to our understanding of Christ as the King of kings and Lord of lords. This is not some religious theoretical knowledge, but experiential life of Christ embedded in the display of wisdom in anyone who has received Christ and are growing in obedience to his voice daily.Those familiar with the book of Daniel will immediately recognize this truth. One of the most magnificent displays of God's wisdom and majesty in Babylon was the revelation of God's absolute dominion over the kingdoms of men. Daniel and his companions didn't defeat Babylon through military might or political manoeuvring. Rather, Babylon was brought to its knees through the power of men who maintained a lifestyle of devoted consecration before their heavenly Father.The living reality of God's presence within these faithful men demonstrated to Babylon that its worldly glory paled in comparison to the vast authority of God's kingdom residing within yielded vessels. This teaches us a profound truth: we cannot function in the elevated wisdom and governmental authority of God's kingdom when we lack the revelation of Christ's ascended life as sovereign over all things. The Scripture's Promise Daniel 7:27 declares: "Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him."This revelation of the kingdom begins not with external conquest but with Christ's inner dominion over our hearts and the entirety of our being. The Gospel of the Kingdom commences with acknowledging Christ's authority over our interior lives our thoughts, motives, agendas, and imaginations must come under His government. Whatever we seek to understand or communicate regarding the kingdom must flow from the reality of the inward life we've embraced in Christ. Only then can such a life begin to influence our immediate world until those around us feel and witness the impact of this kingdom lifestyle.

CHRIST IS RISEN; DEATH AND THE GRAVE COULD NOT HOLD HIM!Today, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ not as a mere tradition, not as a ritualistic observance, but as a cosmic reset for every believer. This is a day of renewal, a day of refreshing, a day where the very power that shattered the gates of hell surges through our hearts and veins once more. This is not about Easter bunnies, egg hunts, or the worship of ancient sun-gods. This is about a living, breathing, explosive truth that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, conquered death and emerged from the tomb with unstoppable unmatched authority. If He had not risen, we would still be shackled by sin, lost in despair, and pitiable above all men (1 Corinthians 15:17-19). But He is risen! And because He lives, we live not as victims, but as victors.

Beyond Symbols: A Reality That Shakes Hell We say "symbolically" not to diminish the event, but to transcend the distractions the debates over dates, the arguments over names, the enemy's age-old tactics to dilute the raw power of the cross. The resurrection is not a myth to be debated; it is a fire that burns in the hearts of those who know Him. Just as Passover signified a new beginning for Israel, the resurrection of Christ symbolizes a transformative new era for us. It represents a reunion of hope, a revival of faith, and a rekindling of passion for the One who sacrificed Himself for us and triumphed over death. Today, we declare: - We are waking up from every slumber of doubt, every weakness of fear. - We are rising from the lies of the enemy that seek to neutralize our faith. - We are stronger than ever before because the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in us* (Romans 8:11). This is not just a celebration this is a recalibration. We are being reset into the apostolic order, realigned with the prophetic intentions of God for our lives, our families, our cities, our nations, and our generation.

This is not mere verbal confession or religious adherence, as many mistakenly assume today. Rather, it represents a radical transformation of one's entire thought pattern and lifestyle. As a result, kingdom citizens develop value systems and worldviews that appear completely alien to the surrounding culture. They become, in the truest sense, ambassadors of another realm—representatives whose primary citizenship lies elsewhere.Different Approaches to Kingdom TeachingMany devoted followers have faithfully proclaimed aspects of this Kingdom Gospel through their commitment to seeking the Father's heart. They have counted everything as loss to gain the excellence of the ascended revelation of Christ. Their spiritual understanding has been cleansed and illuminated through the ever-increasing life of God within them.

In Ephesians chapter 6, verses 10-13, the Apostle Paul encourages the believers in the Church of Ephesus to "put on the whole armor of God." This metaphor highlights that God does not engage in warfare with any of His creations, including Satan himself. However, it is important to note that Satan has chosen to be God's archenemy, making man created in God's image a primary target.The key point here is that God exists in a realm of His own; there is no entity, power, authority, or system potent enough to match Him in battle. Nevertheless, the concept of donning God's full armor speaks to a more profound state of existence that can drive the enemy away. By examining how the first man fell to the darkness in the garden and contrasting that with how Christ triumphed over Satan during His earthly ministry, we gain valuable insight into the importance of wearing the whole armor of God.Without a doubt, God embodies Spirit, and all His actions stem from this spiritual essence. However, God is also an intelligent being, which informs various principles and aspects of our interactions, thoughts, and reasoning, as we are created in His image and likeness. Thus, when Paul urges us to don the complete armor of God, he offers a spiritual metaphor that illustrates how our minds should be shaped when confronting the councils and forces of darkness. If we are not vigilant, these dark forces aim to influence our mindsets through matters related to our feelings, emotions, and intellect.The armor of God constitutes a complete framework of existence, guided by the mindset offered to us for total protection as we engage life's issues. It represents a powerful attitude that every believer should embrace as part of the culture of the Kingdom of God if we are to achieve victory over the forces of darkness, just as Christ did during His time on earth.

ADDRESSING THE CONCEPT OF THE PROCESS AND ORDER OF THE RETURN The Confusion of Sound: Joy or Warfare?In Ezra 3:13, we encounter another revelation that speaks directly to our time: "The people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the sound was heard afar off." This scripture unveils a critical spiritual discernment challenged, distinguishing between sounds of authentic celebration and sounds of mourning or conflict.How many voices today proclaim "peace and prosperity" when foundations are crumbling? The cacophony of media, political rhetoric, economic forecasts, and even religious proclamations creates a confusion of sound. What some herald as progress and breakthrough, others rightly perceive as warning sirens of impending judgment.This spiritual dissonance manifests in our inability to correctly interpret the times. Many celebrate economic indicators and technological advancements while remaining deaf to the weeping of broken social structures, fractured communities, and spiritually malnourished souls. The prosperity gospel that has infected much of Western Christianity has created a generation unable to discern between the sound of authentic revival and the noise of materialistic fervor.The Lord is calling for prophetic ears in this hour—those who can distinguish between the shout of true victory and the clamor of self-deception. Genuine prophetic insight requires this discernment, to hear beneath surface celebrations and detect the true spiritual condition.The Golden Calf MomentPerhaps most revealing is the parallels between our time and the events described in Exodus 32. Moses had ascended the mountain to receive divine instruction, leaving Aaron and the people in a period of waiting. Impatience and uncertainty led to the construction of the golden calf—a human-fabricated deity fashioned from the people's own resources.When Moses descended in verses 15-18, we read: "And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, 'There is a noise of war in the camp.' But he said: 'It is not the noise of the shout of victory, nor the noise of the cry of defeat, but the sound of singing I hear.'" Again, we encounter the theme of misinterpreted sound—what Joshua perceived as warfare, Moses identified as idolatrous celebration.In verse 7, God had already pronounced judgment: "Go, get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves." This divine assessment captures our current condition, a corruption of values, priorities, and spiritual allegiances.The Western world, particularly America, has crafted its own golden calf—a prosperity-centered, self-determined version of Christianity that bears little resemblance to the cross-centered covenant established by Christ. This idol worship happens not around literal gold statues but in the materialistic pursuit of wealth, power, and comfort that has been baptized with religious language.

As we navigate the complexities of our current global landscape, we're faced with a profound prophetic paradox that demands a deeper understanding. The biblical account of the two prophets in 1 Kings 13 offers a crucial insight into the unfolding events of our time. The contrasting ministries of the young prophet and the old prophet serve as a backdrop for examining the judgment of Jeroboam and the compromised spiritual system he represents.In this pivotal moment, wisdom calls us to learn from the past and avoid repeating its mistakes. The church's leadership is tasked with the sacred responsibility of guiding God's people back to the right path, regardless of their surroundings. Our environment should not define our spirituality; rather, it should be a platform where we exercise influence through the life and power of God within us – a biblical mandate that requires us to embody our faith in every context.We find ourselves at a critical juncture in history where prophetic insights are crucial for understanding the complexities of our world. The current global landscape, marked by escalating trade wars and geopolitical tensions, demands a deeper understanding of God's divine values and intentions.To navigate these challenges, we must examine the past to grasp the present. History serves as a profound reflector of current crises, offering valuable lessons for addressing our contemporary issues. By understanding historical events through the lens of God's values, we can gain clarity on how to move forward.Prophetic voices play a vital role in guiding us toward God's intentions for humanity. These voices must be grounded in humility and sobriety, allowing the Spirit of God to provide direction and perspective. In contrast, pride often hinders our understanding, limiting our ability to see God's revelations.The world is built on a false foundation when it prioritizes economic prosperity without a moral compass.

ELEVEN CORE NATURE OF HUMAN THOUGHTS SYSTEM.1. Thoughts Are Powerful Influences Over the MindThoughts are not passive entities; they exert significant influence over the mind, shaping our mental nature and landscape. They have the power to direct our focus, alter our moods, and dictate our actions. When left unchecked, thoughts can lead to patterns of behavior that may be difficult to break. Understanding this influence is the first step in mastering our mental state and ensuring that we do not become victims of our own thinking.2. Thoughts Are Opinions; We Can Either Accept or Reject Every thought that enters our mind is, at its core, an opinion. It is not inherently true or false until we decide to accept or reject it. This realization empowers us to take control of our mental processes. By discerning the nature of our thoughts, we can choose which ones to entertain and which to dismiss, preventing negative or unproductive thoughts from taking root in our minds.3. Thoughts Come with Very Strong Emotional Feelings Thoughts are often accompanied by intense emotional responses. A single thought can trigger feelings of joy, anxiety, anger, fear, or sadness. This emotional attachment can make certain thoughts seem more compelling or real than they actually are. Recognizing the emotional charge behind a thought can help us separate our feelings from the facts, allowing for more rational and measured responses...

This emotional attachment can make certain thoughts seem more compelling or real than they actually are. Recognizing the emotional charge behind a thought can help us separate our feelings from the facts, allowing for more rational and measured responses.4. Thoughts Seek to Control Our Emotions and Decisions The aim of most thoughts, especially those that are negative or destructive, is to control our emotions and influence our decisions. This can lead us to act in ways that are not in our best interest or that contradict our values. By becoming aware of this dynamic, we can interrupt the process and choose to act based on reason and discernment rather than emotional impulse.5. Thoughts Have ConsequencesEvery thought we entertain has the potential to produce tangible consequences in our lives. Whether we dwell on positive or negative thoughts can determine our actions, relationships, and overall well-being. Negative thoughts can lead to fear, stress, anxiety, and depression, while Godly, positive thoughts can foster faith, love, hope, resilience, joy and fulfillment. It is important to be mindful of the nature and impact thoughts play in shaping our reality.6. Thoughts Shape Who We Are Our habitual thought patterns contribute significantly to the development of our character, behavior and identity. Consistent negative thinking can make us victims, fearful, pessimistic, bitter, and even prideful, while positive, Christ-centered thought help us become optimistic, compassionate, and confident. The way we think influences how we perceive ourselves and, ultimately, who we become.7. Thoughts Become Ideas, Whether Good or BadThoughts are the seeds from which ideas grow. A single thought, if nurtured correctly, can develop into a powerful innovative hub that influences and transform lives beyond any human imagination. Thoughts can shift and realign actions and decisions that impact communities and nations. Whether our thoughts and ideas are constructive or destructive depends on the character nature of the origin of such thought. Understanding this concept can assist us cultivate thoughts that lead to positive and impactful ideas.If you need a copy of the book, taking every thought captive, please follow this links: https://a.co/d/dhPVy79?sfnsn=wa

Thoughts exhibit impressive independence and creative potential that extend beyond mere sensory input. The concept of thought as a "sensory organ" highlights its adaptive, generative, and transformative qualities; it is a complex system that not only receives information but also actively builds, interprets, and reinvents our perception of reality. This is why it is essential to align our thoughts closely with the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ outlines the quality of thought system necessary to engage with both tangible realities and the unseen aspects of our subconscious existence. This scripture below gives a little view into what the mind of Christ is like in-case, you need to have a perspective why you anchor you thought on Him. Romans 11:33-36. Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! 34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” 35 “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” 36 For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. Let's connect these verses to Philippians 2:5-6. As we can see that although, Christ is God, but he did not use his position as God as an advantage but rather humbled himself in going through the process required for the redemption of humanity from the stronghold of Sin. The standard Christ displayed gives to us the barometer to how to handle the sensory realties of our thoughts. 2 Corinthians 10: 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; 6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full.

Let's not reduce our spiritual pursuits to merely solving problems or meeting needs. While it's common to seek God in times of necessity, we mustn't make our needs the sole objective of our spiritual journey. Our ultimate pursuit should be to know and please the heart of God.Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. 25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.…Needs are an inherent part of human existence, and God has promised to provide a way through life's challenges and temptations (1 Corinthians 10:13). However, if we focus solely on our needs, we risk building our lives, calling, and purpose on a flawed foundation.Instead, we should strive to look beyond our immediate needs and press into the heart of the Father. This means seeking a deeper understanding of His character, nature, and desires. By doing so, we can cultivate a more intimate relationship with God, one that is rooted in pleasing Him and not just solving our problems.

Romans 11:33-36. Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! 34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” 35 “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” 36 For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. Let's connect these verses to Philippians 2:5-6. As we can see that although, Christ is God, but he did not use his position as God as an advantage but rather humbled himself in going through the process required for the redemption of humanity from the stronghold of Sin. The standard Christ displayed gives to us the barometer to how to handle the sensory realties of our thoughts. 2 Corinthians 10: 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; 6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full.
