CALLING FORTH THE POWER OF IMAGINATION THROUGH THE MIND (PART 3)

^“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen” –   Ephesians 3:20-21

Consistently, I have reminded us that Christ in us is the hope of glory. I have also reminded us that Christ in us is capable of giving us the power and knowledge to actualize everything we desire in life. How this works out is beyond our knowledge and understanding. This devotional attempt to explain to us how this can happen so that we are well guided when trying to manifest a good life for ourselves. Beloved, the power of God which gives knowledge and power to actualize what we need in life is Christ in you – THE ETERNAL WORD OF GOD that manifest as Jesus Christ. God blesses us and answers our prayers through Christ in us. The mind is the place or environment for Christ to function in our life. The mind is the environment where all spiritual or supernatural phenomenon takes place in you. Also, understand that FAITH is NOT built in the air! FAITH is exercised in your mind. Your abilities to believe or not to believe is exercised with the mind! Unfortunately, the devil also uses the mind to manipulate us into submission to him. The devil controls us through the mind. Therefore, you have to guide your mind properly, and allow the Holy Spirit to constantly purify your thoughts and imaginations. Whatever you believe in your mind without doubts, will manifest someday if you continue to believe the same thing over and over again.  When the scripture says, pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17) it is not because God is deaf and cannot hear us; It is simply because a continuous repetition of what we need will manifest someday. The mind is a gift from God to us. It is the environment where all things manifest, whether negative or positive. The deficiency in most people is that, rather than occupy their minds daily with positive thoughts and images, they imagine negative things which afterward manifest as negative situations. This morning, Apostle Paul says to us; ^“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS IN US, ….” Ephesians 3:20-21 (uppercasing mine) The power that works in us is the Christ Spirit. Christ in us works through our mind to manifest what we ask for.  It is therefore very important to maintain a healthy mindset all the time. Some of the things that can render our minds working wrongly are; envy, jealousy, hatred, unforgiveness, avarice or GREED, covetousness, anger and resentment, and the likes of them. This is one basic reason Jesus taught us to forgive, to love, to give to others, etc.  The devil would always hunt after us, but it is left for us to stand against him by the power which is at work in us. The most potent weapon against the devil is to maintain a healthy mindset by allowing the holy spirit to take the place of negative thoughts in our mind.  Starting from today, maintain a healthy mindset by harboring positive thoughts. Also, when you pray, reduce the incidents of doubts and leave ALL to Jesus. When your thoughts are healthy, your actions would also be good. This is because from the abundance of the mind or heart the mouth speaks, says Jesus. When your actions and your thoughts are good, your journey through life becomes easier!

 PRAYER

Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask that you take hold of my mind so I may bring forth healthy imagination. From this day onward, I declare that every of my positive thoughts shall manifest more than I have imagined. AMEN.
