Cleansing my mind for a better me | Pastor Dwain Wolfe | Oct 5th 2025

What I want to talk about. Here's my heart. Okay,

here's my heart right and my heart in my heart,

I have spirit and soul. Everybody says spirit and soul.

So the spirit is on the inside, and the Spirit

is my Holy of holies like a tabernacle if you're

familiar and familiar with the Old Testament tabernacle. Okay, good,

So the Spirit is my Holy of holies. The spirit

man is where Holy Spirit now dwells. Anybody born in

the spirit in the building to be born of the spirit.

We were born wrong the first time. We were born

separated from God because we were born in the lineage

of first Atom and first atom messed up and we

were separated from God. And so because we were in

His loins. There's my heart. She did so good. That's

better than the one I did. It's pretty bad, but

it's pretty better than the living. Okay. I was hoping

for a bigger one. Let's go bigger. Let's got a

little bit bigger. Is it working? It's slow, but think

it's okay. This is more of a distorted pumpkin. But

we're gonna work with it. Okay. So this is the

spirit man on the inside. Spirit and this is the

soul out here. Okay, So when we come to the Lord,

when we come to the Lord, this is John three

three through five. Nicodemus is asking Jesus these questions, and

Jesus is clarifying that when you're born in the water,

that's your first berth. But to be born from above,

you're born of the spirit. So when we're born of

the spirit, this is when we receive what Jesus has

done for us before God. And then we receive the

righteousness of Jesus in our spiritual bank account, right, because

otherwise we're bankrupt. Anybody bankrupt in the building. We were

all bankrupt, right, spiritually bankrupt, not talking about your checking account.

We were spiritually bankrupt before we came to know Jesus.

But when we receive what he's done for us, right,

when we receive what He's done for us, then the

righteousness of Jesus is credited to our spiritual account, and

you know, we become covered with this righteousness. But what

happens is is Holy Spirit comes to dwell in our

Holy of holies. Holy Spirit comes to dwell in our spirit. Right.

You read that not on that dumb screen, but on

the other screens. You can read it right, Okay, so

Holy Spirit dwelling in here. Now, what happens is, let's

go to Johnny, Let's go to first John four sixteen

through eighteen. What happens is that when we receive Jesus

and what He's done for us, then the Holy Spirit

floods our heart with love. He floods our heart with

love because when we come to him, we're afraid of everything,

and we have we even have self loathing, right, and

that's in it's worthd inferiority, self loathing inferiority. We don't

love ourselves even, right, We don't love others appropriately. We

can't really love others appropriately. And I mean we can

love them conditionally, but we can't love them unconditionally. And

we can't love ourselves unconditionally, and we doubt everything about ourselves.

And so we have all this stuff going on. But

when the love of God comes, because we receive forgiveness,

we're brought into the family, we're given the kiss of acceptance, right,

And all of that is not because we've actually changed.

We haven't changed our address in terms of perfection, we

haven't become a better person. We've just accepted what he's

done on our behalf. We've accepted his presentation of his

perfection for us before the Father. And he's able to

do that because he shed his blood for us, because

we were due to our sins, we were worthy of

the wrath of God. We were worthy of the wrath

of God. But he took our place. He shed his blood,

he gave up his life. He presents us before the Father.

And what we were singing today is that his blood

ever represents us before the Father. His shed blood forever

represents us before the Father. And he's become the Bible

tells us the intercessor. Now, that's somebody who stands in

between you and another. An intercessor is the one who

stands between you, and he's standing between us and God.

And when we accept him and we look to him

and we abide in him, then he says to God,

this one's hidden in me, this one's covered, this one's

hidden in me, this one has I've brought this one

into the family because they have hidden themselves in me. Right,

And so this is happening. And when that happens, then

oh you took control, okay. So and when it happens,

then all of this love pours into us. And we

have known and believed that God has love, believed the

love that God has for us. God is love, and

he who abides in love abides in God and God

in him. Love has been perfected among us in this

that we may have boldness or confidence, and another translation

says we have confidence. So his love is actually what's

sealing your heart and telling you that if you died

right now, you're okay because Father loves you. And this

is the supreme love that you need. This is what

you've longed for all of your life and until you

get this, like, no human love can take the place

of this. So love is perfected among us and that

we have so that we can have boldness in that

day of judgment. Because as He is so all, so

so so are we in this world. So this is interesting.

He's saying that we were being transformed by this love.

This love is so enveloping and it's so powerful and

it's so rich that we're transformed by this love. And

there is no fear in love, but perfect love cast out. Now,

this is the new King James, or the King James,

perfect love cast out, or if you looked at the

univ it would say, perfect love dismisses fear. Well, that's

that's uh okay, let's let's all finish it. I'll take

control again because fear involves torment. But be it. But

he who fears has not been made perfect in love?

Did you hear that he who still fears has not

been No, this is the goal of God is to

make you perfect in love. Now, if we go back

to my heart, I'll go back in a minute. But

the heart, you know, that's your soul, that your mind, will, emotions, imagination, reasoning,

that's your history, that's your hindrances, that's your lineage. It's

your memory, it's your sins, it's your iniquities, it's your stupidness,

it's your frailty, it's your weaknesses. Like all of that's

woven into your soul, realm, right, your soul. And he's

saying that this love is poured into your heart in

such a powerful fashion that you can partner with that

love so that all fear and fear doesn't reside in

your spirit. Your spirit is the Holy of holies. Nothing

else resides in your born again spirit, but holy Spirit.

The only thing residing in your spirit is Holy Spirit.

But Holy Spirit wants to bear witness too. He wants

to testify to He wants to talk to you about

the love of God so deeply through his word, through

his scripture, through his Raima, through his visitation, through his friendship.

He wants to talk to you so deeply about his

love for you that no matter what you're thinking about,

you'll realize that His love will triumph over whatever it is,

so that you no longer have to yield to fear.

Abide in fear, think about fear, fear anything. No fear

of man, no fear of loss, no fear of money,

no fear of poverty, no fear of no fear ever,

no fear of confrontation, no fear of offense, no fear

of darkness, no fear ever except for the fear of

getting too close to the waterfall cliff. That's called wisdom.

But you know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about

spiritual things that don't go whacky on me. I'm just

talking about spiritual things, right, he who fears, So wherever

fear is, we haven't been perfected in that love. How

do I go back to give me back control? Please

immediately in Jesus name, Where do I be without beautiful

wonderful staff members to help me? Oh, the pen wasn't

even on, was it on? It wasn't on. Jesus take

the wheel. Even old country soulngs are still good. All right?

So are you with me? Listen? I wait to hear this. Now,

your soul, your soul, and the Holy Spirit's working on

us all the time. He wants to work on you,

and he wants to wash. The Bible says that the

Word of God is Ephesians five, that he washes us

with the water of the Word. What's he washing? He's

washing the fear out, He's washing the crud out. We

constantly need the washing of the Word. And when we

come to know him, what he's trying to do. Once

we've come to know him, and he's a genius. I mean,

God is a genius. This is the good news. Right,

He's a genius. Because I could never approach God through

my own righteousness. My own righteousness is a mess. I

can't stay righteous long enough to ever approach him. But

he puts on me, he covers me with the righteousness

of Jesus. Now I can approach him. So now we

can be friends. So now he can talk to me,

and now he can wash me with his word, and

now he can shed his love on me. He couldn't

shed all his love on me as long as I'm

still bound up in my sin or my folly, or

my foolishness, or my unbelief or my darkness. But now

he can shed his love on me. And because he

can pour out his love on me due to the

geniusness of covering me with the righteousness of Jesus, not

my own righteousness, now he can wash me. We can

be friends, we can have friendship, and he can show

me what I need to get rid of. Now this

guy over here, this this guy over here, this part

over here of me was darkened. This part over me

here was darken. And this part here, this part over here,

was demonized. Okay, and let's just talk about that for

a minute. I want to read you a couple of

verses Ephesians two to one. And you he made alive

who were dead and TransPasses. You want to take it back,

You know how to do it. I don't know how

to do it. You can take it back then, if

you'd like to thank you, and you he made alive

who were dead, and trespasses and sins in which you

once walked according to the course of this world, according

to the Prince of the power of the Air, that's Satan,

the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.

So this is there was, There was spiritual power working

in all of us. We all had spiritual power working

in us, and it was the power of darkness, and

it was the power that was under the rule of Satan,

who the Bible calls the Prince of the Power of

the Air, among whom we also We all once conducted

ourselves in the lust or the desires of our flesh,

our carnal nature, fulfilling the desires of our flesh and

of our mind, and were by nature children of wrath.

Therefore we were Therefore because of this, we were children

of wrath. That is, we deserved the wrath of God.

Why did we deserve the wrath of God? Because Satan does.

Satan's under the wrath of God. So if we are

one with him, or partnered with him, or of his

loins or his lineage, we're going to deserve whatever he deserves,

because we're in union and recovenant with him. Let's go

to two Timothy two to twenty four. And a servant

of the Lord must not quarrel, but be gentle able

to teach patient in humility, correcting those who are in

a position. If God perhaps will grant them repentance so

that they may come to know the truth, and so

that they may come to their senses and escape the

snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him

to do his will. Now he's saying this about a

servant the Lord. But I don't want you to think

about a servant Lord. I want you to think about

that's all of us. Some servant of the Lord reached

out to you, some humble servant Lord reached out to you,

and he reached out while you were in captivity, while

you weren't You hadn't come to your senses, right. This

is Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk was constantly reaching out to

people with truth, this says, with truth, hoping that they

would come to repentance, right, so that they would come

to their senses and escape the snare of the who

we will all we were all under the snare or

the devil. When Adam fell, Satan became his lord. We

were in his loins when he fell. We have to

get out of that family. We have to get out

of that lineage. Everybody in that family is going to

sin and blow it and mess up and live in unrighteousness,

and they won't even know it because they're deceived. They

don't even know. You didn't even know half the things

you did were a problem. Right, how many times did

you defend your sin because you didn't know you were deceived.

Deceived means you don't know you're deceived because you're deceived.

That's what deception means. Right. And so this was us,

This was us. We were taken captive by the enemy

to do it. No, we didn't maybe shoot somebody, we

didn't do something, we didn't rub a bank, but we

did stupid stuff and we were caught up with stupid

thoughts because we were of that lineage. We got to

get out of that lineage. That means we got to die.

That means we got to die the only way out

of that lineage and into the new lineage, into the

new atom, into the new life. You got to die

to the old and you have to be buried. Now,

this is a death tank, This is a death tank,

and it's a burial service. Water baptism is a burial service.

And this is what we're doing this morning with a

bunch of folks. And we could dismiss them in four minutes,

but to go get their briches on or whatever. But

this is what's going to happen right here, is that

this is a death tank. So when we go into

this death tank, the Bible says Roman chapter six, Roman

chapter seven, that it's a burial service, and we're putting

the power of Satan. This is satan, this is demonic power. Yeah, you,

Satan was so one with your nature. You didn't know

it was satan. You thought it was you. Did you

hear me? Like doubt and frustration and discouragement and inferiority

and self hatred and negativity and immorality and profanity and

lying and cheating, and I mean, these things were so

one with your nature you didn't even know it was Satan.

You thought it was you. That's how one it was

with your nature. John eight forty two through forty four

says Jesus says to these he was having a Charlie

Kirk moment, and he was reasoning with them, and they were,

you know, arguing back, and Jesus said, a neighbors said,

we're of our father, you know, and we we're of Abraham,

and we're of our father. And he says, if God

were your father, you would love me. For I proceeded

forth and came from God. I've not come of myself,

but He sent me. Why do you not understand my

speech because you're not able to listen to my word

because you're of your father, the devil, and the desires

of your father you want to do. You're of your

father the devil. He could have said that to me,

He could have said that to you. He could have

said that to any one of us, and he would

have been absolutely accurate. I'm saying this to tell you

that we all need deliverance. This is the longest commercial

for Restored Life you've ever heard in your life. If

you haven't been the Restored life, we are registering people

today right afterwards, and you shouldn't let anything keep you

from coming. We all need deliverance. We all need deliverance.

We all need deliverance. I'm telling you, the demonic influence

of Satan was so one with our pre conversion nature.

We didn't even know that it was satan. We didn't

even know it was darkness. We didn't even know it

was demonic spirits. We didn't even know it. Those thoughts

about not getting through, those thoughts about not succeeding, those

thoughts of animosity, those thoughts of divorce, all of those

every thought, those thoughts were not of you. They were

of the demonic nature, but they were so one with

you that you didn't even recognize they were of the

because your nature was one with that nature. The name

of the sermon today, by the way, is you can't

trust your own thoughts. That's the name of the sermon today.

You can't trust your own thoughts. I know it says

something else, cleansing my mind for a better me, that's

more saleable. We can we can sell more with that one.

But you can't trust your own thoughts. That's a pretty

good one too. Subtitle you can't trust your own thoughts

because because what happens is what happens is when we

come out of these waters of baptism, we come out

and we are birthed into romans. Sick says that we

go in under the old atom, the first atom. We

go in under the power of sin and under the

power of corruption, we just we see everything out of that. Right,

But when we come out of the world baptism, the

Bible says that we come out into new life, we

come out into resurrection. Now, the problem is is we

don't experience deliverance. We don't know anything about deliverance. Somebody

told us deliverance wasn't even real. Somebody told us the

moment you gave your heart to the Lord, you were delivered.

We hear every kind of lie avery. All these lies

are filled with in our churches. And so we come

out of we come out of the water baptism tank

a new creation. We come out raised to life. We

come out anew and those same voices start talking to us.

We get compelled. This is how they this is how

they work. They pretend they are us, and we're so

used to them talking we think it's us, and so

they compel us. They just continue to compel us because

we didn't know that we could resist them. You know,

until you go into the tank, until you're water baptized,

you have not actually entered into the legal transaction of

dying the first atom and being raised up into the second.

Did you know that's true. But the moment you come

out of that, that's because and that's why baptism is

always for people that plan on living. The thief on

the cross, he was done living. He didn't need to

get water baptized. When somebody tells you you have to

be baptized to be born of the spirit, that's a lie.

Jesus said to the thief on the cross today, I'll

see you in paradise. He wasn't getting off the cross

and getting baptized. Baptism is not for people that are dying.

It's for people to plan on living. If you plan

on living, then God wants his love to be shed

abroad so powerfully in your heart that it perfects your soul,

that all of the fears in your soul are driven

out or dismissed. You partner with love to dismiss those

testimonies of fear out of the inner man, out of

your soul, so that you're no longer under that influence. Well,

we haven't known that. You didn't know that. So then

you come up out of the water of baptism, and

then those same spirits they start talking to you. They

and you're used to hearing them, and so they start

talking to you, and they're telling you, you know that

you shouldn't like that one and they didn't pay attention

to you, and that one didn't come to your party,

and that one didn't leave a special parking spot for

you over there, and then this didn't happen and that

didn't happen, and she's got the hats for you. But

you're already married. But it's okay. I could have two

and this starts happening, and that starts happening, and you

got this going on, and you got every kind of

spirit and you just think it's you. Just your whole

life has been listening to these things. So you just

what happens is you don't know that now you have

the power to dismiss, to resist, to drive out, to overthrow.

So what happens is you come out and you don't

know that. So you're like you start thinking, Man, I'm

a terrible Christian? Man I am WHOA? What is wrong

with me? I need to repent again? Why am I

thinking about her? Why am I thinking about theft? Why

am I thinking about cheating? Why am I thinking about hating?

Why am I thinking about lying? Why am I thinking? Why? Man?

I'm just a terrible Christian walking this walking Christianity stuff.

This is hard. Whoa, it is so hard, man, I

got to wrestle up my mind. I gotta get a

last sue and control this thing. This thing is out

of control. I must be a terrible Christian. No, you're

not a terrible Christian. You came out of the waters

of baptism with the authority to dismiss, drive out, and

overthrow those thoughts. And now Philippians four, Philippians four four

through eight, he says, he tells you think on these things.

Think on things that are lovely, Think on things that

are praiseworthy, Think on things that are noble, think of

things that are of a good report. Fix your mind

on those things. And then Romans chapter eight, verse six says,

the mind that is set on that old fleshly life,

that mind is gonna end up walking in death. But

the mind that is set on that spirit, man, the

mind that is set on that spirit, the mind that

is set on the testimony of Jesus and your Holy

of Holies, that mind is going to result in life

and peace. Every one of us have to win these battles.

But once you win them, it's like whooh, that's pretty good.

You start winning these battles instead of coming into condemnation.

I'm just worthless. I'm just a worm. Thank god he

died from me, because oh oh oh oh, what a

mess I am. As long as you walk in that condemnation,

you'll never get freedom. You'll just end back up at

the altar. You'll need prayer again. You come forward, I'm

a worm. Okay, Well we can help worms here, and

so you come forward. We help the worm, cleanse the worm,

wash the worm. You know, cray, you get lots of

tears out of the worm. Well you're kind of a

dry worm. Now, okay, well got let me send you

back to your chair, and then you're back next week.

Because you don't understand that you have victory over these voices,

you have victory over these influences. These are no longer you.

This is not the Holy Spirit in you. The Holy

Spirit is not testifying a bunch of garbage in you.

He's not testifying hate, he's not testifying rejection. He's not

testifying animosity. He's not testifying profanity. He's not testifying profanity.

That is not the Holy Spirit in you. That is

another spirit, and it's not you. It's another spirit. You

don't have to listen anymore. But as long as you'll listen,

as long as you'll listen, oh, they'll be there and

they'll love every moment of it. Listen, listen, go to this,

and this is the way they work. They compel us.

Oh we gotta quit. Oh my word. One verse one verse,

one verse, one verse. Are you getting this register today?

If you haven't come, it's on sale for full price.

Seven Grinth ends ten three through five. Though we walk

in an earth suit, Though we walk in this earth suit,

Fleshley body, Flesli Temple, Third dimension realm. We don't make

war according to third dimensional fighting. No no, no, no

no no. The weapons of our warfare are not cardinal,

but they are mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.

I've got strongholds in me. I've got to pull down.

I have to pull down these strongholds. Well, a stronghold,

Matthew twelve already told us. Jesus said, strongholds only exist

where there's a strong man. There's no stronghold existing, and

there's not a strong man. Dismiss the strong man. The

stronghold crumbles and you pl under his house. Here's how

we do it. We cast down arguments and every high

thing or thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,

the knowledge of God and his love for you, His

love for you, his love. Matthew six says, why do

you worry? Why do you worry about clothing, food, or anything.

Papa wants to take care of you better than he

clothed the lilies of the field, better than he cares

for the birds of the year. Do we have the

baptismal candidates coming. We need everybody coming out the platform

quickly quickly. We need Pastor Dennis coming. We need Pastor

Joel coming. We need all the candidates coming. We're going

into baptism directly while I'm appy. We need everybody coming quickly, quickly, quickly.

This is my last clothing. I'm out of time. Worship

team coming, Everyone coming, casting down arguments in every high

thing that exults yourself against the knowledge of God, and

bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

How many thoughts, how many thoughts? Bringing every thought into captivity,

making those thoughts become obedient to Christ, and dismissing the

powers that are generating the thoughts. Bless your church. Let's

pray right now. Just stand, just stand, stand, stand. We'll

turn it over to fast Joel. Stand real quick. Don't

run out and leave. We're holding your kids for a moment.

If you want to go get them and have them

watch the baptism, you can. But let's just say this together,

Holy Spirit. I receive wisdom of you, life from you,

conviction of you, truth from you, the testimony of love

from you. And I receive right now You've made me

a new creation. I no longer have to listen. I

no longer have to be condemned. I have the power

to dismiss the unclean realm and those influences. I receive

it in Jesus name. And everybody said amen.
