Did you know that the more Jesus makes you whole, the more like Him you will become? Sanctification is a gift from the God of all peace, as we continue to surrender to Him. His gift of shalom, of wholeness, of safety, of unbroken wellbeing leads you and me ever deeper into sharing in His holiness. By His wounds, the wounds of our hearts are healed.

Today we launch a brand new season on the podcast: "Healing the Soul." We are going to do a deep dive together on the ways of the Lord regarding this vitally important topic. When it comes to restoring the wounded places of our hearts, Jesus cherishes being our Healer.

God has promised to guard and protect our thought life. We do, however, have a role to play, partnering with Him by actively selecting the right kind of thoughts to entertain in the sacred space of our minds. As we embrace the discipline of staying our mind on Him and His kind of thoughts, we reap the benefits of victory inside of our heads, marked by lasting, unperturbed peace. Perfect peace IS within reach!

God's thoughts are absolutely nothing like the kinds of thoughts found commonly in the world today. They are SO much higher. He invites us into His thinking, where heavenly thoughts dictate to earthly circumstances and bring about change. Holy Spirit will teach us the discipline of Recognize, Reject, Replace as we pursue victory inside our heads.

God's thoughts are as high above ours, as the heavens are over the earth... and yet He makes them accessible to us by His Holy Spirit. Today we delve into what it looks like to appropriate what Jesus paid for with the crown of thorns. We get to learn to live out of our seat with Him in the heavenly places and have our minds governed by His own Spirit. The result is supernatural springtime taking over where winter used to rule.

Tormenting thoughts are part of the curse. When the solidiers pushed the crown of thorns into Jesus' head, He took the pain of that curse and cancelled it for us. A mind governened by life and peace is part of what He purchased for us through HIs death and resurrection. You can have perfect peace, TODAY!

Through the words, "I identify as...", the enemy has hijacked a foundational principle that belongs to God. Only He has the right to tell us who we are... because He is our Creator. He made us. He is the One who knows who He made us to be, and what will bring us true joy. When we find out from Him our true identity, then and only then can we live in the fullness of life that He intended for us all along.

Today, our Savior is assuring us, "In Me, you may have peace." Peace is our inheritance, it is our privilege, and it is our right as children of God. This episode launches a series about walking in victory where it comes to the activity constantly happening between our ears. The mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, so come explore with me what it looks like to be Spirit-focused in our thought life!

When we imitate our Savior by choosing to wear the breathtaking garments of humility, we attract His empowering grace to ourselves. We were created to live in complete dependence on Him, humbling ourselves under His mighty hand. In His beautiful, perfect timing, He will restore, exalt, and establish you.
