Put your hands together. God has done as well. Oh, put

your hands together. Amen. I know God has been going to everybody in

a different way and in a special way. I'm here to invite two people

who want to testify of the goodness of the Lord this morning. Two people

as you pray against it and feel happy. And that's why I did.

When I was feeling like that, I woke up in the morning,

I told my mama to everybody I don't know, to be bad if anyone

want to be left alone. And I was like, what's this? Always

this happening to me? What's going on? So I was a friend.

I was like, what's happening? So I went in the room. I

was going to TikTok. I was watching TikTok and I was just breaking judgr

semon pressing to me. So I said, so let me just listen to

paying yourself and praying. So I was listening to it. It's time I

tried to escape it. It's just bringing him to me, bringing him.

Now, and I just wanted to thank God for my life, the life

of my family, friends and everybody in this church. So I'm Harrison.

And last week's Sunday, after church, I decided to go home. So

I took a trucksy whatele called or Show, and I went to sit at

the back. And the back is really tight. Those who take the church

or you know, it's very tight. So we took off. We went,

We dropped three passengers, then we dropped more. Then it got to

a place, then we stopped, then we dropped another passenger. When we're

about to go, where I was sitting was very tight. Look at how

long my legs are. So when the cause of what to move? Then

if a car just hit the back of the car exactly like exactly where I

was sitting, my leg was supposed to be crashed between the seats. But

I turn God that he protected me through that accident, So I just don't

tank go for our life and my legs. Yes, thank you, Amen.

Let's put our hands together for Jesus one more time. Please stretch your

hands towards our brother, our brother and our sisters. We are praying and

we are securing their testimony. Isn't the blood We are thanking God for what

He's done in their lives. We are securing their testimonies in the blood of

A Lord, take glory in our lives, Take glory and our praise,

Take laurina thanksgiving, and may your name be highly exalted and glorified in the

presence of your people. In Jesus' precious name. Let her believers say,

Amen, hallelujah on behalf of our fathers, Bishop Nicholas and Co Williams.

This morning, you are all welcome to church. Amen. Please tell your

neighbors standing by you it's good to see you this morning. Well, please

tell someone else that I'm really glad to see you in church this morning.

Hallelujah. And please be seated in the presence of the Lord. Amen.

You are all welcome to church once again. Are you excited to be here?

Amen? Please tell your neighbor for free, you only the same way

you came. Yes, tell your name. I can't promise you by the

time you leave, your life will not be the same again. Amen.

Amen. So we thank God for bringing us again. Amen. Pardon us

on the sound. We are still trying to get the sound right for this

thing I'm using. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. So, in the month

of January, we're talking and learning about the key of sacrifice as one of

the keys to open doors in this year. Amen. And last week,

by God's grace, I spoke to you about the mind transforming transformation by the

reviewing of your mind or the renewed mind. Amen. And we took our

scripture from Romance chapter twelve bes to where the Bible says that don't conform to

this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. And the

whole purpose of it is that by that transformation we will be able to know

what the will of God is for us. Amen. We've come to understand

that the will of God is in threefold, the good will of God,

the acceptable will of God, and the perfect will of God. Amen.

And God expects us to be in His perfect will at all times, because

in his perfect will, the Kingdom of God can be revealed in In the

perfect will of God, the Kingdom of God can be established in us.

In the perfect will of God, the will of God can be brought to

pass in our lives. Amen. And so today I want to speak to

you on the mind and its thoughts, the mind and its thoughts. Amen.

So let's take our foundation scripture from Second Corinthians, chapter ten, verse

five, Second Corinthians, chapter ten, and verse five, and the Bible

says that let's look at verse four, and then we come to verse five.

In fact, let's start from verse three. Second Corinthians, chapter ten,

verse three, And the Bible says that though we walk in the flesh,

we do not war against the flesh. Give me the NLT for this.

We are human, but we don't wage wars as humans do. Amen.

That is the difference between a born again believer and someone who is not

born again. As born again children of God, we don't fight physical battles.

Amen. And so if you are very quarrelsome and you like to fight

in your neighborhood. Everybody knows you. Then your born again experience is incomplete.

Amen. Next verse, we use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons,

to knock down strongholds of human reasoning. Please say after me, strongholds

of human reasoning. Amen. And so this scripture gives us information that the

mind is possible of having strongholds in it. It is possible to have strongholds

in your mind. And strongholds are forms of prisons, spiritual prisons that can

capture your mind and your thoughts, all right, And so strongholds of human

reasoning and to destroy false arguments. So the weapons of our warfare that are

not connal but mighty through God, it's used to pull down or cast down

strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments in the mind. Next verse,

we destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We destroy

with the weapons of our warfare that are not connal but mighty through God.

It is used to destroy obstacles in our minds that prevents us from knowing God,

and to capture their rebellious thoughts to teach them to obey Christ Jesus.

Amen. So please understand that your mind is a very important asset to you

as a child of God. Amen. Please say to yourself, my mind

is an important asset to me as a child of God. Amen. And

so in Second Corinthians, then the scripture I've just read the Bible teaches us

a pathway to help secure our minds. All right, to help secure our

minds. Many preachers refer to the mind as the battleground when Satan wants to

come on your case. The first place the enemy will engage you is in

your mind. And the moments they are able to cast a stronghold in your

mind, then they have power over you. Amen. But as a child

of God, you have the responsibility to save God your mind. You have

the responsibility to cast out things that don't need to be in your mind.

You have the responsibility to retain things that potentially can help you in your walk

with God. Amen. And so please write these points down, the mind

and the thoughts. The first one is that the mind is a powerful asset

that brings about transformation. For anyone to go through any form of transformation as

a child of God, the first place transformation can start is in your mind.

Outside of that, it will just be pretense, because if you are

not renewed in your mind, then you can't be transformed into what God wants

you to be. Amen. Number two point is that God wants to transmit

his thoughts into your mind. God wants to transmit his thoughts into your mind.

So the renewed mind has the ability to receive the thoughts of God.

The renewed mind has the ability to receive the thoughts of God. Number three,

Your thoughts are very powerful. Your thoughts are powerful. Your thoughts are

powerful that it can frame the outcome of your life. Your thoughts are powerful,

and so it can frame the outcome of your life. In the beginning,

before God said, let us create man in our own image and likeness.

Creation was a figment of the thought of God. God thought about creation,

and so then he set it in motion. He said, let us

make man in our image and in our likeness. If God had not thought

before bringing to bear what was on his mind, he would have created man

when the earth was null and void. But because God had a good thought

pattern before he executed things into creation, he created all things before he created

man. On the sith day, so the time man came, everything man

needed to live a well sustained life was already ready. Do you understand so?

Thoughts have power to create things a man. The Bible says that as

a man thinks in his heart, so he is. So. If you

think in your heart that you are a fool, then what are you?

Oh? What are you? You're a fool? Amen. So, as

a man thinks, so he is so. Your thoughts are powerful. And

so, as a child of God, we need to renew our minds so

that transformation can come into our lives. Amen. Number three. Next point,

Thoughts in line with God's word will protect your spirit, your soul,

and your body. Thoughts that are in line with God's word will protect your

spirit, your soul, and your body. Amen. Welcome our next preaches

Aquillian a Coco. I'm just kidding, don't be Amen. Thoughts that are

in line with God's will. God's Word will protect your spirit, your soul,

and your body. Amen. In the same way, negative thoughts can

cost you dearly. Negative thoughts can cost you dearly. The next point you

might want to write down with that when it comes to thoughts, you are

responsible for what you allow into your mind. All right. When it comes

to thoughts, you are responsible for allowing what stays in your mind. And

finally, thoughts can come into your mind from all sides, but you can

choose what will stay and what will be cast out. So from Second Corinthians,

the scripture we just read, we know that we have the power to

cast out imaginations. We have the power to cast down strongholds which are all

with thoughts or thought patterns in the life of a believer. Amen, Please

tell your neighbor for free as you think. So you are Amen. And

so today I just want to share briefly with you for conditions of the mind

that every believer should be aware of, so that we can apply ourselves to

what God wants us to be. Amen. Remember the foundation scripture we read

from last week Romance World two. The ultimate aim of God is for God's

will to be done in our lives, for us to know God's and for

God's will to be done in our lives, because when done, then it

means the Kingdom of God has come into our lives. All right. So

the first mind I want to speak to you about is the anxious mind.

The anxious mind Philippians, chapter four, verse six, to seven Philippians,

Chapter four, vers. Six to seven. The anxious mind. Let's look

at the New King James version, and then we'll come to the NLT.

Be anxious for nothing. Please tell your neighbor be anxious for nothing. Please

ask your neighbor, are you the anxious type? Please ask somebody else,

are you the anxious type? What did they tell you? Of course,

sometimes every now and then. It is in the nature of man to be

anxious every now and then. Amen. But tell them that be anxious for

nothing. Be anxious for nothing. And the Bible says that, but in

everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made

known to God next verse. And the peace of God, which surpasses all

understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. So please write

this down. The cure for anxiety is the peace of God, which surpasses

all understanding. The cure for anxiety is the peace of God, which surpasses

all understand Amen. It is normal for everybody to feel anxious every now and

then. It is normal for you to feel anxious when you go to school

and they say that tomorrow or next week we are doing I A or we

are going to do a surprise quiz next week, or we are doing a

surprise quist today. I've been in a class where we just appeared and the

teacher said, take out your books and pens and papers, we are doing

a quiz. If you have not studied, you be anxious. Do you

understand? You can be anxious when you need to take a decision. So

many of you finish jjs. You need to go to shs. You have

applied to the school you want to go to and you are waiting and you

are not getting the school you want. It can bring anxiety. You finish

sahs. You want to go to university. You've applied. You want to

go to a SHESSI. You want to go to Lagan. You've applied,

but they are not getting back to you. You don't know whether you get

to the school or it can bring anxiety. Do you understand? But the

Word of God says that don't be anxious for anything. So in situations where

you can potentially feel anxious, that is when the Word of God is saying

that don't be anxious. So we need to learn to speak to ourselves that

in certain situations we need to tell ourselves that don't be anxious. Call your

name and say, don't be anxious. Amen. If your name is who,

say quick, who don't be anxious? All right? And then you

go to the prescription. You bring your supplications to God. You bring the

things you need God to do for you, bring it to him with thanksgiving.

You make your request known onto God. Then the Bible says that then

the God of all the God of all peace, will give you peace,

which are passes all understanding. I hope you get it. Yes, So

it is a prescription in the Word of God against anxiety. The same way

when your head is aching, you go to us. They'll give you.

That's the prescription. That is the go to formula. Do you understand the

go to formula for anxiety is the piece of God. So you need to

seek the piece of God for every anxiety to come to an end. Can

I hear an amen? Initially I was speaking to you about the fact that

the man, the mind is very powerful. The mind is asset. It's

an organ that retains information. So a few a few days ago, I

was just, you know, watching a TV show on the Billoonnaires of the

Caribbean, you know, and they show the lavish life style of rich people

in the Caribbean. It's a nice place when it gets money, go and

visit them, Hey, man, oh say I'll be there a man,

yes, yes, yes. And they were showing a lot of people,

and they showed a few young ladies who were apprankly musicians in the Caribbean,

and they were showing how they were doing their albums, and they were they

launched their album and they were singing and dancing and all of that. I

wasn't really paying attention because godly song, by the way, So I wasn't

paying attention, but the TV was on. Can you imagine. Two days

later, I was minding my own business and the song they were singing was

ringing in my head, and the dance that they were dancing it was also

ringing in my head. And I was like, where are you from?

And I kept going for it, and the thing was getting louder, and

I said, no, in the name of Jesus, you thought wherever you

come from, go away from me. And guess what. The thought was

still amplifying, and I could hear the song even louder in my mind.

So I said, oh, I see that, Yeah, that was f

ee y. I sung for a while. I was going to bath when

I realized that that thought had disappeared. Amen. So your mind is an

organ that can retain information without your permission. Your mind is an organ that

can retain information without your permission. And so you can just be passing by

and they'll be playing a song. It is not your intention to record the

song in your mind. But you get home and that evening, the only

only thing that is in your mind is that song. The only thing that

is in your mind is that song. There was a funny situation where the

choir had gone for practice, not the squire, by the way, and

one lady was leading a song and she was worshiping, and then all of

a sudden, the song she was singing was a worldly song. It had

nothing to do with the worship of God. And somebody said, madam,

you have gone. Of course, the mind can retain information without your permission.

Amen. And so you are responsible, as a child of God to

be able to cast down those thoughts, those imaginations, bring them down out

of your mind, because the ultimate goal of God is that God wants to

be able to influence your mind. Amen. God wants to influence your mind

I was watching a movie one time. I was just trying to distress.

I went to Netflix. I was watching a movie, and usually how I

watch a movie that I just don't jump into watching the movie. I preview

it, so I fast forward it and try and see if the thing will

be interesting. Then the first scene that came was a ballasing and I was

like, no, this one, so I just stopped. Can you imagine

that's two seconds BALLA sne that I saw kept playing in my mind as I

hu, I don't condone what you are doing. I don't like what you

are doing. That's why I stopped watching the thing. So why are you

in my mind? I said, in the name of Jesus, you high

thing, come down, be broken in pieces, leave my mind alone.

And they left. Understand. So what you don't cast out or cast down

and you entertain in your mind you are incubating it. You understand you are

incubating it, You are giving it life, and before you know it,

you start behaving the same way. All right. So the mind is powerful

too, or a powerful organ asset that has the ability to retain information.

Can I hear an amen? Amen? So please sell your neighbor, save

God, your mind. Man, we save God our minds. We save

God our mind with the helmet of salvation, the whole armor of God,

the helmet of salvation. When you are conscious of your salvation, you save

God your mind always and at all times. You don't take off your helmet

of salvation at any point, because the moment you take it off, Satan

will bombard you with all sorts of things. Amen. And you see now,

you don't even need to go looking for trouble. Trouble is already looking

for you. You just need to be at the wrong place, is at

the wrong time, and trouble will find you and bombardments of the enemy from

everywhere. The music you are listening to, the songs you are singing,

the movies you're watching, the Instagram posts, you're watching, the telegram post,

the TikTok videos. All of you like ha ha, and you're watching

TikTok and you're laughing. You're always laughing because you're seeing something funny on TikTok.

It's a form of influence. And the ultimate goal is that to control

your life. Amen. The ultimate goal is towards control your life. So

you need to save guard your mind. You need to filter between what takes

residence in your mind and what you not take residence in your mind. Hallelujah,

Amen. Number two. Condition of the mind is the reprobate mind or

the dedazed mind. The reprobate mind. Romance, Chapter one, verse nineteen

to twenty six. Romance, Chapter one, verse nineteen. Let's look at

verse eighteen, and then will come to verse nineteen. The Bible says that

for the wrath of God, the anger of God, give me the NLT.

But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who

suppress the truth in their wickedness. Next verse They know the truth about God

because He has made it obvious to them Verse twenty. Forever since the world

was created, people have seen the earth and the sky. Has everybody seen

the clouds this morning? Amen? Did anyone see a bed this morning?

Did anyone feel the air on your body this morning? Did anyone see the

sun this morning? So Ever, since the creation of time, the invisible

attributes of God have been clearly seen by the things that He created, And

so we can clearly see his invisible qualities in that his eternal power and his

divine nature. David wrote that Lord, when I consider the heavens and the

earth. How vast it is when I consider that the sun, when I

consider the moon, consider the stars. How wonderful it is, How marvelous

it is that you created such things, And how it is that you created

man. And considering man to everything you created, what is man full of?

Because David acknowledged the fact that God created all things, how many of

you know that God created all things? The atheists believe that the world was

created out of a big bang. When I did this, did anything happen?

They believe the world everything you are seeing, the trees starts. They

see, everything was done created by somebody did then everything appeared? The debased

mind. He says that since the beginning of time, the invisible attributes of

God are clearly seen throughout creation. And so it says that we have no

excuse for not knowing God. Please tell your nighbor for free, you don't

have an excuse for not knowing God because everything that shows that God exists is

present around us. Amen. Can you breathe? Just taking a breath?

Did you breathe? You did? How much did you pay for that breath?

But you know there are people at collebu when they do thousand five hundred

God as it is when they're breathing oxygen thousand and five when they're breathing another

one thousand and five. So the more you do, the more thousand and

five to you're pain. Do you understand? So God exists, and no

one should tell you that God does not exist. You should not believe a

lie that God does not exist a man verse twenty one, Yes we knew

God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks.

They know that God exists, but they won't worship God or even give him

thanks. How many of you know that the atheists, people who don't believe

that God exists, know that what preoccupies them is the existence of God,

because they are trying whatever they can to prove that God doesn't exist. My

question is, if God doesn't exist, why do you need to make a

big deal about it? It is because God exists, and because they've chosen

to believe a lie. They are trying to defend their lie, even to

their death, all right. And so because they've chosen to acknowledge God and

to worship Him and even give him thanks. The Bible says that God has

given them up to their own foolishness, and so they begin to think up

foolish ideas of what God was like. So God has given them up to

a debased mind, a reprobate mind that cannot thank God, that cannot save

God, that cannot worship God all right, And as a result, their

minds have become dark and confused. Their minds have become dark and confused.

You know, the Bible says in the Book of Psalms that the entrance of

God's word brings what light and understanding, But to the reprobate mind, their

mind is full of darkness. There is no light in a reprobate mind.

And a reprobate mind is responsible for all the perversions in this world. So

you name it. Every perversion you can ever think of is as a result

of a reprobate mind. Can I hear an amen? Oh? Can you

say a better amen? It's where they speaking to you. Please say a

better amen. Amen. And so, because they refuse to honor God,

they refuse to worship God, they refuse to say thanks to God, God

has given them up to a reprobate mind. Amen. You know there are

human beings, even Christians who idolize many people, especially football. Is how

many of you have a footballer that you idolize? He's your I see a

hand the time. Please stand as we else, Messy Christian Ronaldo? What's

his name? You see? You are sitting down. You're pretending you don't

like, but we know that you like. If you like them, please

stand on your feet. You have a favorite football that when you hear his

name, your heart skips the beats, your breathing becomes first we know.

Do you understand when this got a goal? You have a deep voice,

but their goal can make you bring out a stroll voice like God. Do

you understand The path to a debates mind is idolatry when you idolize things above

God. And you see people who don't recognize God, who don't knew God,

who don't thank God, who don't praise God. Please visited, gentlemen.

Their minds are reprobate, so they think they are wise, but they

are actually foolish according to the word of God. An example would be that

there are people who buy cars. Now, what is the purpose of a

car? So tran transportation to move you from point A to point B.

But they will buy a car. They'll put it in the garage. They

won't drive the car. And every morning they'll go and wash the car.

They willach the car, they will push her butter on the ties, they

will shine the tie, and they will kiss the time, and then it

will go, and then the next morning they'll come back and repeat the same

cycle again. A reprobate mind a debased mind, and so you end up

idolizing things that should not be idolized. Amen. A reprobate mind is a

rebellious mind against God. And so everything God has said to be true,

everything God has to be the way. A reprobate mind rebels against it in

speaking about a living sacrifice onto God, questions like, oh, but there's

not a sin for a Christian to have a tattoo. According to the Second

corinthian's body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. The spirit of God lives

in you. Do you understand, And when you get onto the path of

a reprobate mind, you go and do a little tat Oh, say,

oh, let me just do one cross here. Then you do just a

cross, Let me do a hat here. Before you know it's oh,

let me do a tiger here. Lion of the tribe of Judah. Then

he said, oh, you my girlfriend and I, let's do a matching

tattoo he and his. Before you know it, you are tattooing your whole

arm. Before you know it's you tattooed your whole body. Please give them

the picture of the guy who has tattooed this old body. He started with

this, and he said, oh, let me tattoo eager in my throath,

let me write some things. A reprobates mind. So, if your

body is the temple of God and the spirit of God lives in you,

and you decide to deface your body, because if God wanted you to have

a tattoo on your forehead, he would have created you with a tattoo on

your forehead, a reprobates mind, you have starttooed this old body. Guess

what, very soon you have a place to tattoo again. And they've started

tattoo in your eye, the white thing around your eye, what is it

called? They've started tattoo in it. Amen. So a reprobate mind will

make you rebel against God, because a reprobate mind is not under the control

of God, it's not under the leadership of God. Amen. A reprobate

mind will lead you to think that, as man, you should marry the

man and see nothing wrong with it. And you do a wedding, and

human beings will live and come. This is a reprobate mind that as a

woman you should marry a woman and pretend to be a man. It is

a reprobate mind. It's okay, take it off. We don't want to

encourage our nays Amen, And so give me the same scripture, and this

time in you, King James. A reprobate mind will lead you far away

from the will of God, will lead you far away from the counsel of

God. Amen. But guess what. You are responsible for your own thoughts.

You are responsible for whatever goes on in your mind. So as a

man thinks, so he is. So when you begin to think that,

oh, it's okay to be a thief, you be a thief who is

going to school. You will be an educated thief. You finish university,

you are a university graduate who is a thief. Because your mind is not

renewed. You're going to do your master's degree, do three masters, PhD.

You are a PhD. Still hold out, who is a thief,

or think who is a PhD and very soon you become a prime minister.

You are a star who is a thief because your mind has not been renewed.

And you see, for God to be able to transmit his thoughts into

our mind, we need to renew our minds. Can I hear an amen?

Amen? Just because although they knew God and did not glorify him as

God or we're thankful, but became futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts

were dark and verse twenty two. Professing to be wise, they became fools.

Professing to be wise, they became fools, all right. And so

this lgbtqqq abusic, it's ongoing, sentenced very soon will be they were going.

It's still going. Every day they are bringing out some things in their

mind. They think they are wise, but according to the law of God,

they are foolish because everything they are doing goes against the priced order of

God. And it's an influence of Satan, because Satan is the one who

wants to corrupt seed of man. Satan is the one who is on agenda

to control the minds of people so that they rebel against God. Satan is

the one. He's the father of liars. He's the one who is on

agenda, so that everybody tends their back on God because he has succeeded before

in time past where a whole country Sodom and Gomorrah tend their backs on God

and they were living in a pervicious time that God had to destroy them because

they were very perverse. Amen. So the debased mind is a condition of

the mind that can lead you far away from the will of God. Can

I hear anymen? Amen? I hear? I see you guys are chatting

and laughing. What's funny you want to share with us? You don't want

to share with us? Amen, next time I'll bring you. I'm not

holding my marc out. I brought it to you to share with us.

So the the base mind will take you far away from where from the will

of God. In psychology, there is a state of the mind which has

to do with a reprobate mind. And in that state of mind, you

don't like pleasant places with pleasant smells. You like foul stinky smell. So

where the people going or fload the rubbish? You take a chain incident and

cross your leg because your mind desires that type of so you get high from

that type of nonsense. So with the debased mind, you realize that the

things that are all foolishness, that is what you that is what you thrive

on. Do you understand that's what see? We all like football, but

there are some people they are fanatics their own it goes to another level.

Do you understand when their teams, when they score their team, they will

go by the rosa and destroy every card they see. They will break people's

glasses because their team. That's a debased mind. The debased mind is out

of control, amen. And God doesn't want any child of his to have

a debased mind. Amen. How many of you have had certain situations where

you have your you have thoughts and you think that the thoughts are pressuring you

to do things, thoughts that you feel you feel under pressure to do,

and if you don't do the thing, you are not free. They are

satanic and demonic influences Amen. And it's aimed at controlling your mind to bring

you to a debased mind or reprobate mind. Do you understand, yes,

when you start to entertain those thoughts, what will happen is that you open

a gate for devils to come and live inside you, demons who come and

live inside you. And when demons come and live inside you, they are

not your friends. Their whole assigned work inside of you to control you,

to do their will. And so there's a woman in the Bible called Mary

Magdalene who was infested with demons. She had six demons living inside of it,

and she couldn't do anything godly. She ended up being a prostitute because

that is the control system of the demons in her life. He took Jesus

to deliver her, for her to come to her right mind, and for

her to turn away from her wicked ways. There's a man in the in

the Book of in the Gospels, the Manner the Sea of the Other Rings.

For him there were six thousand demons in him, one human being,

six thousand demons. So depending on your assignment, what God has assigned for

your life on earth will determine how many demons want to come and live inside

of you. I hope you understand. So if you open your mind up,

that is the door you have opened, and they will come in dance

in a badja, straight into your mind and into your heart. Do you

understand. So Jesus had to take a boat to go all the way to

the Sea of the Gatherings to deliver this man because the demons inside him were

controlling him himself. In the morning, he cut himself. You'll cut himself.

He didn't wear clothes, he didn't live in the house, He was

living in the cemetery. He cut himself, and he'll be ransacking the whole

place. You see the mad men who walk around, that's the result of

a debased mind, because there are demons living inside them and the demons are

controlling them. Amen. So, as a child of God, having a

debased mind should not be something you aspire to at all. Please ask a

namba, are you aspiring for a debased mind? Please? What did he

tell you? And you know how a debate mind starts by ignoring God,

by not worshiping God, by not thanking him. That is how it starts.

Amen. And I don't think any one of you wants to have a

reprobate mind. Amen. Let's look at the next mind condition, which is

the canal mind. The canal mind Romance, chapter eight, verse six to

ten. The canal mind Romance eight six to ten to be connely minded is

death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace next verse. Because

the can of mind is at enmity against God, for it is not subject

to the will of God, nor indeed can be. The Bible says,

let's got it in the NLT. That's why those who are still under the

control of their sinful nature can never please God control. The can of mind

is controlled by the devil, and it will lead you into a nature.

You remain in a sinful nature. Somebody will say that, oh, I

want to stop phnicating, but I can't stop. It's because you are in

a cannon of mind. You need to renew your mind. The moment you

start to renew your mind, you realize that you begin to stop phnicating,

because if you don't stop, then the end result will be that you become

a born one by the time you are twenty years or you become born too

by the time you are twenty three, and there will be no further to

take off your children, or you get HIV for all the other STIs and

you be by yourself. And now you now pretend to be a proper Christian

because now you need to come in and pray every prayer meeting, you come

the can of mind. Amen. And so it says that the cannon mind

cannot submit to God. The cann of mind is a mind that cannot submit

to God. It is not willing to submit God because it is an enmity.

It's that enmity with God. The can of mind hates the things of

God. The can of mind doesn't like the things of God. So people

with can of minds, when they come to church and we are praising God,

we are wayshiping God, they just look at us like, Charlie,

what is it pull up to? But let these same people go to Charlie,

what or what got dark empire or whatever they call it, going to

do? Rip something something dirty? Rave. You see them, they will

be in front. They are the ones championing the thing. The people you

please look at your neighbor seated by you. Sometimes the people that you see

in church and they are quiet, they are not quiet like that too.

They are all pretended. They are pretenders. When they come to change,

they pretend to be quiet, but when they're out there they are not pretend.

They are not quiet at all. Amen says that sinful mind is under

the control of their sinful nature and cannot please God. Amen. And so

the can of mind is that enmity with God. And because it's that enmity

with God, it cannot please God, and it is not willing to please

God. Can I hear an amen? Oh? Can I hear a better

amen? It looks like the message is cheane. Some people say they can't

even say amen. Again, Hey, thank you God for this message is

very geen. Amen. So the can of mind, to be kindly minded

is death. That's what the Bible says. And the death here, the

wishes of sin is death. We all know it. The death here means

you are incapacitated from receiving from God. It means there is no relationship between

you and God. God cannot influence your mind and your thoughts. You are

on your own. Satan is your boss. Satan is your master, whatever

he says. And so that is the type of mind that Satan come press.

You say, hey, call that girl now. If you don't call

that girl, you sleep. Your eyes will be up until you call the

girl. You sleep. You say, hey, go and steal this thing

now. If you don't, you can get rest. Those other type of

situations where Satan is pressing on your mind, is pressing pressure, giving you

pressure. And until you do it, they'll say, go and take a

trauma door. Go and take trauma door, Go and take white power,

go and take guiness, Go and drink something a little this, a little

pressure. That is the can of mind. The can of mind is under

the influence of Satan and the months. So they control you. And the

whole point is to control you. How many of you know that God,

God is not interested in controlling you. Some of you think that God control

your life. God is not interested in controlling you. God is interested in

leading you, and you are responsible to follow. Amen. Yes, God

is leading you. As many us are led by the spirit of God.

They are the children of God. What even qualifies you as a child of

God is your willingness to be led by the spirit of God. By the

debate's mind, that can of mind. They don't want to be led by

no God. They want to lead themselves. Amen. And God always gives

you an option. He says today, I've set before you life and death,

and he says that choose life. It's that someone wants to control you.

God is not interested in controlling you. Amen. But funny enough,

human means like the ones that are like to control them, they won't say

time to control their lives. Amen. And so there are a lot of

strong folds that need to break over the minds of certain people so that God

can't help them. Can I hear an amen? This message? I think

I should preach it again. Oh yes, if I actually stay here for

like one month, because the way you are not saying him and it means

the message is entering is treeing them. Amen, who will stay here for

some time? Amen? So to be kindly minded is death, but to

be spiritually minded is life and peace. Amen. And so the mind that

is governed by the flesh is hostile to God and does not submit to God's

laws, nor can it do so. Amen. So please renew your mind.

Renew your mind so transformation can come, because if you don't renew your

mind, you will have a debased mind, you will have an anxious mind,

you will have a canal mind. And all these three mind conditions cannot

be led by God. And so then it means that you deny yourself being

in the perfect will of God at any point in time. Can I hear

an Amen? So, final point for the fourth condition, of the mind

Second timoth E Chapter one, verse eight, which is the accurate mind,

the accurate mind, the accurate mind, Let's do verse seven, verse seven

the accurate mind. For God has not given us a spirit of fear.

Let's do the new King, James. For God has not given us a

spirit of fear, but of power of love and of a sound mind,

a sound mind. The accurate mind is a sound mind a man. The

accurate mind is a sound mind which is not anxious. This is not debased,

and which is not canal Please lift your right hand and say this after

me. God has not given me the spirit of fear, but the spirit

of power, of love, and of a sound mind. God expects you

to have a sound mind, because when you have a sound mind, God

is able to transmit his thoughts into your mind. When you have a sound

mind, God is able to transmit his plans into your mind. In Jeremiah

twenty nine, verse eleven, the Bible says that God says, I know

the plans or the thoughts I have for you. They are good thoughts and

good plans to bring you hope and a future. So God is able to

transmit his thoughts into your life. So It doesn't matter what situation you are

in your life. At any point in time, God's mind and his thoughts

that are transmitted in you. It becomes your reality. And you also begin

to speak forth what God has said concerning your life. That God has only

good thoughts and good plans for my life. His plans are not evil.

His plans are of good to bring me hope and a future. So you

begin to profess and to speak forth the mind of God for your life.

When you are in a situation where you are fearful, you declare to yourself

the word of God that I am another tale. God has not given me

the spirit of fear, but it's giving the spirit of power, of love,

and of a sound mind. So you declare faith. When you are

in a place where you feel this advantage, you declare, fath The Lord

is my shield and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is

the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? You declare

it, Amen. The sound mind has the ability to retain the word of

God. The sound mind has the ability to retain the word of God.

The sound mind remembers the word of God. Let's do a demonstration if we

please come, Please come from one to turn in your head? What is

your name before? What may you get to? Before you stop counting?

Number five? Please count again from one to ten? Where do you live,

Labonie? Where nobody did you get to before you answered? Number nine?

So you realize anytime she opens her mouth to speak, she stops thinking.

Did you realize that? Let's try it again? Please count from one

to ten? When in churche last week? What nobody did you get to?

Number five? Anytime you speak you stop to think? Do you understand?

Do you know why? Sometimes they say that some people talk without thinking.

It's because when you're actually speaking, you're not. You can't think when

you're speaking. You think before you speak and after you speak. So when

your mind is filled with negative thoughts, how you cast the thoughts out is

by speaking the word of God. When you speak forth the word of God,

those mind negative thoughts will dissipate, they will disappear, and they will

not come anymore. Can I hear an? Amen? Thank you for And

so God expects that his children will have a sound mind a man, and

having a sound mind is a mind that is you don't you don't want people

to feel sorry for you even when you are in a difficult situation. You

don't need people to feel sorry for you. Amen. I haven't sound mind,

so it doesn't matter what my circumstances. I'm okay. Amen. You

know tomorrow's my birthday. The first service people do all for Gods? Do

you understand? But I have a sound mind. It doesn't move me.

If I get a presence, Praise the Lord. If I don't get a

presence, glory be to the Lord, because the state of my mind is

not influenced by what is going on around me. Do you understand? I

am thankful to God for all that he has done for me. I am

thankful to God for all that he has giving to me. I am thankful

to God for making me a blessing that I can also bless people with.

Do you understand? So you have a sound mind. When Jesus came,

he had a sound mind, and although he was the son of God,

he didn't mind how people treated him. He still went to the cross to

fulfill the purpose for which he came. Can I hear an? Amen?

If you have a sound mind, you are not prone to peer pressure.

Shut out to all the peer pressure. Brown people Amen. When you have

a sound mind, you are not under the control of anybody. No one

will believe you to say that if you don't come with us, you'll be

my friend again. If you be my friend again, there are eight billion

people on it. What is your problem? Amen? So please tell your

neighbor have a sound mind a man, and a sound mind comes about by

renewing of your mind that comes from receiving the word of God and brings about

transformation. When you receive transformation in your life, you receive a sound man.

Amen. Can we all stand to our feat for a moment? And

so please understand that Satan wants to dominate your mind. The plan of the

enemy is to dominate your mind. The plan of the enemy is to control

your mind so that his will can be done in your life. But as

a child of God, you have the ability to resist the advancement of Satan

through your mind. You have the power to cast down. Amen. And

I'm going to teach you on the weapons of our wolfare that are not canal,

so that you begin to apply it to your life. Amen. Because

God needs you to have a sound mind. Amen. And so with your

right hand lifted, say Father, I thank you for the weapons of my

warfare. That I'm not canal, but that I'm mighty through God. To

the pulling down of strongholds, Say in the name of Jesus, any stronghold

Say, from today my mind, my thoughts will be influenced by God.

In the name of Jesus. Help us, all Lord, to have

amen. And finally some one nine, one, three, nine ers twenty
