The Reprogram Podcast

God did not put us on earth to figure out how to get by.  We are here for a purpose and not just to survive.  That is why we cannot be dependent on the system of the world to care for us  Over time, the care that the world’s system provides will become limited or come to an end.  We must not become dependent on it for supply and resources.  The Kingdom of God is without limits, and it will never end.  We must tap into the Kingdom to know our purpose.  We are not made to depend on the world’s system but to be a supplier.    We are to participate in our self-care through Kingdom knowledge and understanding.  It is a must that we have something in reserve for when life overwhelms us.  We make ourselves ready by studying and understanding God’s word, prayer, and attending church.  Build your foundation now so that you will be prepared.

Whatever controls the mind rules our lives from that place. The mind is powerful enough to rule the body. Therefore, it is essential to set your mind on things above and not what we see or hear. The world will teach us to be full of care for our lives. Caring about our lives will cause us to carry an unnecessary weight that we have not meant to carry. We are not to care about the issues in life but to cast those cares on the One who cares for us. Do not spend precious time on the lookout for things to happen beyond our control.     This week’s treatment for a healthy mind is not to be full of care for your life because God cares more. That thing you are worried about will work out when you put your mind on what God can do and not what you can do on your own.  Do not look at what is seen but seek the Kingdom of God for your life.

The world has created a system that makes it hard for people to believe in the Kingdom. Christians are going to church but cannot see things beyond the world's limitations. They cannot speak God's language either. As a result, we fall victim to the world's system. The good news is that you do not have to be under this failed system. The Kingdom is here now! And it has everything thing you need to dominate life now.    Pastor Mike instructed us this week to keep speaking in tongues(our heavenly language) so that we can continue to connect to God's mind. God has equipped us with everything we need to be successful in this world. God wants to redeem the world, but we must speak His language not to be a part of it!

We are meant to have the same mind that God has because we are created in His image. When we begin to operate from our human mindset, we become disconnected from the Source we become unrecognizable.   To be able to rule on the earth as God originally intended, we must know Kingdom truth.  The only way to know it is to understand the Source of truth.  God’s truth cannot be mixed with what man considers to be the truth. If we are to represent Him on earth, we must know and understand His mind.    We have been given a Helper called the Holy Spirit to guide us in all truth and as a treatment to an unhealthy mind. Praying in our Heavenly language takes the limits off of our power and our understanding. We are to have a Kingdom mind so that we can expand the Kingdom of God on earth. The Holy Spirit will govern you and teach you how His Kingdom works.

Many of us have been misdiagnosed with the wrong information about ourselves. We have been convinced with inaccurate information that contradicts God's truth. A carnal mind believes in the limitations the world may label them. Or that they aren't enough and they have to deal with depression and anxiety. These are all lies, and we have to learn how to challenge them with the truth of the Kingdom!    An unhealthy perspective is an unhealthy mind. To change this, we must have a Kingdom perspective. We must align our thoughts on the Kingdom truth about ourselves.  Have an intentional mind this week! Meaning that you will argue against any lie or negative idea that comes against you! Let the Holy Spirit lead you. Don’t let your opinion get in the way! See yourself from God’s position!

Last week we learned that an unhealthy mind could be treated with meditation. This week we learned that peace will treat the unhealthy mind. The world is plagued by stress and being overwhelmed by the issues of life. People are looking for ways to cope with their stressors on their own. We were not designed to stress or be overwhelmed but to have peace. Peace is the cure to an unhealthy mind.    To find peace you must understand Lordship. Are you Lord over your life, or is God. The only way to fix the issues of life is to make God Lord over your life. That does not mean some areas, but all areas. When He becomes Lord you will begin to see the changes around you. There is no stress in the Kingdom.    Your mind must be healthy and have peace to hear God. Not only do you need to listen to Him, but you must also obey His instruction. Turn off the noise distracting you and listen with your spiritual ears to what He is saying. Ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you, then listen. Only then will you begin to have peace in your life.

People are suffering from many mental challenges. Whether your treatment is self-care or medical care, there is a cure for what you are going through. As kingdom citizens, God’s intent is a sound mind.  The journey of God’s truth is the only and most effective cure for our mental health. The goal is not to become trapped by things the enemy uses to trap us into being deceived mentally. We want to become kingdom grounded.  It is not God’s original intent for us to be mentally ill. He has provided us with a cure for our unhealthy minds. A permanent solution is shifting our focus from the things that take our minds way from kingdom thinking and meditating on His truth.

We must not allow ourselves to be subject to the world's ideas. A healthy mind stays focused on Christ. When our minds are fixed on Him, we will not be subject to the world; the world should be subject to us as Kingdom citizens.   An unhealthy mind has false ideas about what something is. Believing anything other than how the Kingdom sees a thing of God is false and has no power. Understanding and knowing God's truth is the only way that we can begin having a healthy mind.   The Kingdom of God is here now. When our spirit becomes healthy, our mind will become healthy, leading everything else concerning our lives will become healthy. The Kingdom of God within you. You have the potential to create change in whatever environment you encounter.

The original mind was healthy.  A holy and saved mind is a healthy mind. How did we lose our original mind? We lost it because we have allowed the world to teach us, submit to their system, and change our expectations. Instead of expecting things to work on our behalf, have good health, or expect victory for ourselves, we have been programmed to expect the worst.     We have allowed people who are not in the Kingdom to teach us how we should think. And the same people who are teaching us are dealing with mental health issues themselves. Experts can tell you how your life should be but remember, personal opinions do not matter in the Kingdom. We must get God's mind so that any negative thoughts that doubt, fear, or worry we can ignore and live how we are designed to.

Our minds have been corrupted to justify evil. Our minds are not healthy, and as a result, we aren’t accomplishing God’s mandate. But Jesus’s approach to getting our minds back healthy requires repentance. He wants us to change our minds from the world's system to the Kingdom system.     We must change what we pursue to have a sound mind. Are you pursuing things of this world, or are you seeking the Kingdom message? The Kingdom is what changes our minds! When our mind is changed, then we go into the world and influence it.
