“Brain washing #6”
by Pastor George Lehman
God has taken us to a place of complete satisfaction and Joy beyond material gain.”
Galatians 4:4 (NIV) – But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman… (Gen 3:15)
The manger and the cross stand at the two extremes of our Saviours life. He was laid in a stranger’s stable at the beginning – and a stranger’s grave at the end. This one amazing gift from God has changed the world forever.
#6 It’s time to release your minds to your WEALTHY PLACE.
Psalm 66:12 (KJV) – Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through the fire and through the water: but Thou brought us out into a WEALTHY PLACE.
God with us, Immanuel, has made this possible and achievable.
We really need to go over to action and release our minds to our un-limited WEALTHY PLACE. Your life and circumstances will never change until you set your mind for increase.
The phrase “God has taken us to a “Wealthy place” means: It’s so that we can live out fully the wealthy place.
Spiritual Wealth
– *Closeness to God* Spiritual growth, strong faith, connected to God.
– *Inner peace*: Experiencing peace, joy, and contentment that comes from a strong faith.
– *Spiritual gifts*: Discovering and using your spiritual gifts and talents.
Material Prosperity
– *Financial abundance*: Having sufficient or enough financial resources to meet one’s needs.
Relational Wealth
– *Meaningful relationships*: Building and nurturing strong, loving relationships with family, friends, and the church community.
– *Support system*: Having a supportive network of people who care and encourage.
– *Sense of belonging*: Feeling connected and valued within one’s community.
Personal Growth
– *Personal development*: Growing and developing as a disciple of Jesus, acquiring new skills, and overcoming challenges.
– *Self-awareness*: Gaining a deeper understanding of oneself, one’s values, and one’s purpose.
– *Resilience and adaptability*: Developing the ability to cope with challenges and adapt to changing circumstances.
Ultimately, the phrase “God has taken us to a wealthy place” means that God has brought us to a place of abundance, blessing, and prosperity, whether spiritual, material, relational, or personal.
That wealthy place is what you have been given freely as
2 Peter 1:3 (GW) – God’s divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness* through the full knowledge of Him who called us to share in His own glory and goodness.
* Everyone of us have a wealthy place within us – the capacity to receive it.
Your wealthy place is where “God’s promises are”.
2 Corinthians 1:20 (ISV) – For all God’s promises are yes in Him and so through Him we can say Amen to the glory of God.
Do you realize just how much God desires to enlarge your tent – in other words, your life?
Remember the Jabez prayer:
1 Chronicles 4:10 (NKJV) – Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain. So, God granted him what he requested.
This is your time for ENLARGEMENT and INCREASE.
No matter how much you have failed, been hurt, or disappointed or what you’ve gone through, no matter what your past, your future is BRIGHT.
“It’s time to break free.” Jesus Christ came to make the way so you can break free and live in your WEALTHY PLACE.
Isaiah 54:2 (Amp) – Enlarge the place of your tent and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; spare not; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes.
You need a good brainwashing to start claiming the truth of God’s prophetic word for your life.
Allow the truth to stretch your mind out of depression, worry, fear, doubt, self-pity, loneliness, hurt, embarrassment, past failures OR any other negative emotions.
Galatians 6:9 (Amp) – And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.
If you don’t become weary, and your heart is pure, when you seek God with all your heart, SOUL and MIND, you become an OPEN vessel in which all the promises can be fulfilled. (They are Yes an Amen.)
Psalm 1:1-3 (Amp) – “ Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.
2 But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.
3 And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].
Psalm 35:27 (Amp) – Let those who favor my righteous cause and have pleasure in my uprightness shout for joy and be glad and say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, Who takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.
It’s time for you to release your mind to your WEALTHY PLACE.
The devil knows there is greatness in you – so he will try to stop you. But 1 John 4:4 says:
1 John 4:4 (Amp) – Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Your broken heart may seem great; BUT greater is He that is in you.
Your problem may feel overwhelming; BUT greater is He that is in you.
Your situation may feel out of control; BUT greater is He that is in you.
Your financial problem may look big; BUT greater is He that is in you.
Your anxiety, worry, stress and fear may feel like a mountain; BUT greater is He that is in you.
No matter what is in your life right now or who is trying to trip you up greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world!!
Win the war in your mind.
#1 Realize where the war is. Your Thoughts-Action-Habit-Character-Destiny
#2 Get a grip on your mind, get a grip on your life. Prepare your minds for action
#3 Removing stumbling blocks that prevent your destiny. Deal with what is causing you to stumble
#4 Don’t let “Double-mindedness” destroy you. You will be unstable in ALL your ways
#5 Mind expansion causes life expansion. God has already equipped us for great things
Release your mind to your WEALTHY PLACE.
