EMPOWERING THE THIRD DAY ECCLESIA

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.

The art of intercession is beyond our traditional concept of prayer. It calls us into a deep and profound comprehension of a sacrificial way of lifestyle that collaborates with the forces of heaven to bring about reformation and transformation to society. It flows from a selfless heart, fully and wholly devoted to God's kingdom purposes and prophetic mandate for man and creation. When we intercede, we step into a sacred calling, standing in the gap in relentless love and courage, aligning earthly realities with the divine will to shift the course of human affairs for individuals, communities, and entire nations.At its core, intercession is an act of love; it's an intentional, Spirit-led intervention on behalf of others. It's the moment when a human heart aligns with God's heart, pleading for His mercy, justice, and purposes to manifest in the earth. Whether it's for a family member, a city, or an entire nation, intercession carries the weight of heaven's redemptive plan. The Bible is filled with examples of intercessors who changed the course of history through their relentless, heartfelt prayers: Daniel, Nehemiah, Abraham, Moses, and countless others who stood before God on behalf of broken people and wayward nations.Consider Daniel's story in Babylon (Daniel 10). From the moment he began to pray, God dispatched an answer, but a spiritual adversary, the prince of Persia, hindered the response for 21 days. Daniel's persistence in prayer, coupled with angelic intervention, ultimately broke through the resistance. This account reveals a critical truth: intercession is not just a spiritual exercise; it's a confrontation with unseen forces that seek to oppose God's will. It requires tenacity, spiritual insight, and a deep understanding of the agencies at play in the spiritual realm.Intercession is heaven's ordained mechanism for transformation. If a nation is to experience revival, renewal, or restoration, it begins with a people who understand the ministry of intercession. These intercessors are the forerunners of change, the ones who labor in prayer to align earthly realities with heaven's purposes. But to be effective, intercession demands more than fervent prayers; it requires a clear understanding of the spiritual dynamics involved and a heart fully surrendered to God's redemptive plan.

This particular season in our lives carries various layers of prophetic perspective, responsibility, and consequence that requires deep spiritual maturity to navigate successfully. Those who have the courage to step towards the frontline of God's voice and interpretation must be vigilant and attentive to the timing of the Lord, for it is crucial to their journey. In order for those at the gates to truly understand and listen to God's heart, it is crucial that both the correction of sight and the maturation of the voice are clear and pronounced, allowing for the divine intention to be expressed in its entirety. We cannot afford to be blown away by the wind of deception blowing today at all levels. Its time to hear the voice of the Lord as we engage the mountains and valleys of the season. After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai. / When Moses saw it, he marvelled at the sight. As he approached to look more closely, the voice of the Lord came to him. Acts 7:30-31

THE CHRONICLES OF A CHRIST DISCIPLE. LIVING FOR CHRIST IN A POST-TRUTH ERA. PART 19.JEREMIAH 10:23. I KNOW, O LORD, THAT A MAN'S WAY IS NOT HIS OWN; NO ONE WHO WALKS DIRECTS HIS OWN STEPS. 24 CORRECT ME, O LORD, BUT ONLY WITH JUSTICE—NOT IN YOUR ANGER, OR YOU WILL BRING ME TO NOTHING.Our theological perception of God and comprehension of how He operates in our life's circumstances significantly impact how we respond to His will and purposes. If we genuinely put our trust in the Lord, we will receive the necessary understanding, grace, wisdom, courage, and even passion to fulfil His will. The Father's will always come with the right protocol pathway He desire his intentions to accomplish. The intention of the Lord is to correct our flawed view of Him and His purpose. This correction applies not only to our personal lives but also to His entire creation. We are told that God's providential purpose works for our good, but this doesn't mean that we will always understand the path that leads us towards His good purpose. Despite this, we must learn to trust the Lord and accept the routes He has chosen for us.One of the reasons Jesus cursed the fig tree was that it appeared to have fruit and, therefore, life to offer. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the fig tree was actually barren and had nothing to offer. Jesus saw through the facade of the fig tree and cursed it for its deceptive nature.It's important that we consider the expectations of the Lord from His church, especially in light of the current times. We often see a ministry that has the appearance of a healthy and fruitful fig tree, but when it comes to bearing fruit, it falls short. The Lord is ending this type of ministry in this season. MARK 11:12 AND ON THE NEXT DAY, THEY HAVING GONE OUT FROM BETHANY, HE WAS HUNGRY. 13 AND HAVING SEEN A FIG TREE FROM AFAR, HAVING LEAVES, HE WENT TO SEE IF PERHAPS HE WILL FIND ANYTHING ON IT. AND HAVING COME TO IT, HE FOUND NOTHING EXCEPT LEAVES, FOR IT WAS NOT THE SEASON OF FIGS. 14 AND ANSWERING HE SAID TO IT, “MAY NO ONE EAT THE FRUIT OF YOU, NO MORE TO THE AGE.” AND HIS DISCIPLES WERE LISTENING.

This is an excellent message that aims to give you a well-balanced concept and understanding of how the kingdom of God operate and how its to be accessed and function in the life of a believer. As I study the multifaceted descriptions and displays of the grand power and authority of His kingdom, I begin to progressively understand why the creation of man in the image and likeness of the Father captures in summary the grand purpose and expression of such wisdom. This is why the contention and battle of the last days will centre on the issue of who takes precedence over the human heart. Introduction:When we contemplate and reflect upon the ways in which God calls upon and guides a people in order to prepare them for the experience of His divine life and to represent His ultimate intentions, it becomes clear that there are multiple layers and stages of growth path individuals within this community must pass through. Only once the Lord deems them ready and fully approved can they enter such a level of readiness, as exemplified by the story of Esther, who went through the various stages of purifications under the supervision of Mordecai in the removal of her blemishes until she was ready to appear before the king. If indeed the third day church is designed to usher in the era of the kingdom of God, it makes sense that this same church must be entrusted with the administrative mandate of precise manifestation of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.

MATTHEW 25:1-3. It has long been established that the environment plays a significant role in shaping human behavior and productivity. However, what science might overlook or choose to disregard is the powerful influence of what or who the Bible refers to as the Prince of the power of the air on societal environments. This Satanic Prince dispatched over a nation's atmospheric realm is tasked with observing, overseeing, managing, and directing nations through various well-structured, hierarchical systems of Satanic governance. Each hierarchical power structure serves a distinct purpose within its designated mandate over a nation or populace. Yet, the successful execution of their missions hinges on the principality or Prince governing that specific region.The societal environment plays a significant role in shaping our identities without our awareness. When a child is born, they possess a powerful, transformative leadership vision. However, the environment soon introduces various negative influences that target the child's spirit and soul, aiming to change the child's worldview. Those who are unaware of the operating power of the stronghold of the power of the air can subtly seep into their subconscious and reshape the very core values of their identity and assignment. According to scripture, the PRINCE OF THE AIR is tasked with modifying, redefining, and imposing restrictions on individuals so that they yield to the temptations of darkness. Through the influence of darkness, the environment shapes situations that are perceived as commonplace occurrences. Consequently, we internalize these situations, leading to self-imposed limitations.Numerous individuals, including inexperienced followers of Christ or church attendees, have underestimated the impact and sway of their surrounding environment to their detriment. The spiritual frailty and constraints evident in the lives of many Christians are closely connected to how they have succumbed to the influence of their environment.The environment holds the ability to influence vision, aspirations, and even one's sense of self; however, it doesn't have to have control over you if you understand your spiritual identity and kingdom authority.

PORTALSGATE VISION REFRESHER.There is a prevailing fallacy in the body of Chris that is spreading with its dangerous, misleading, and misunderstanding which is, if God gives you a vision, it will automatically be celebrated, loved, accepted, and supported. Many believe that divine vision will make life easier, open doors of opportunity, bring financial provision, grant popularity, and transform everyone around them. This distorted expectation has crippled the Church's true prophetic posture and apostolic mandate and has diluted the meaning of vision in its true heavenly essence.Reaffirming Our Vision and Core Values.As individuals entrusted with a divine mandate, we must consistently and regularly invite the Lord to align our hearts, minds, and spirits with the visionary purpose and mission we bear as representatives of God's redemptive prophetic guidance for the world.What I am referring to is not just visionary mission statement but a sacred charge, one that demands clarity, conviction, and unwavering faith and commitment to the values that define us as heavenly regents.Let us revisit the foundational pillars of our identity, our non-negotiables, and the principles that govern our operations as PortalsGate in this critical season of kingdom advancement.I. What We Are NOT: Discerning the Boundaries of Our IdentityTo understand who we are, we must first clarify what we do not represent:1.

PORTALSGATE VISION REFRESHER.There is a prevailing fallacy in the body of Chris that is spreading with its dangerous, misleading, and misunderstanding which is, if God gives you a vision, it will automatically be celebrated, loved, accepted, and supported. Many believe that divine vision will make life easier, open doors of opportunity, bring financial provision, grant popularity, and transform everyone around them. This distorted expectation has crippled the Church's true prophetic posture and apostolic mandate and has diluted the meaning of vision in its true heavenly essence.Reaffirming Our Vision and Core Values.As individuals entrusted with a divine mandate, we must consistently and regularly invite the Lord to align our hearts, minds, and spirits with the visionary purpose and mission we bear as representatives of God's redemptive prophetic guidance for the world.What I am referring to is not just visionary mission statement but a sacred charge, one that demands clarity, conviction, and unwavering faith and commitment to the values that define us as heavenly regents.Let us revisit the foundational pillars of our identity, our non-negotiables, and the principles that govern our operations as PortalsGate in this critical season of kingdom advancement.I.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
