Seeking To Glorify FATHER

Sunday, November 13th, 2016

By THE SPIRIT the beloved disciple John wrote what Jesus spoke in chapter 15:

7 “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.”

Jesus only spoke the Word FATHER gave Him to speak thus FATHER’S Words abiding in us is the prerequisite to success.  Matthew wrote by THE SPIRIT for our edification in chapter 10:

1 And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.

These twelve men had no worldly qualifications to boast about but they were simply willing vessels to be used by FATHER.  Jesus instructed them:

7 “And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’

8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”

Consider the impact of this directive.  Were any of these men uniquely qualified to heal the sick prior to Jesus’ instructions?  Did any have a prior recorded history of healing the sick?  Only after being called, instructed, and given the power by Jesus did they carry out this directive.  Their only limitation was their faith as indicated in Mark chapter 9:14-29.  It should be our earnest desire to carry out FATHER’S Word on this earth and we must not concern ourselves with the opposition by the world as we walk out HIS Word.  Wisdom spoke in Proverbs chapter 13:

13 ​​He who despises the word will be destroyed,

​​But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.

14 ​​The law of the wise is a fountain of life,

​​To turn one away from the snares of death.

Our reward of fruitfulness are the riches laid up in Heaven.  Jesus told the seventy who returned from ministering in His Name: “Rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”  This seventy received the same commission as the twelve disciples yet they were unnamed in the Gospels.  Let us also seek to serve mankind in the same manner that FATHER may be glorified on earth in the times we are now in.  We are willing vessels to minister in the same manner that Jesus commissioned the seventy as well as the twelve.  In Luke 10 Jesus spoke to the seventy:

9 “And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’”

Upon their return:

17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”

The power and authority Jesus spoke over them certainly exceeded their expectations.  Let us no longer settle for anything less than the fullness of Christ in our lives.  Let us fully embrace FATHER’S Word of Love, faith, and hope as we nurture the Word in us to grow to full maturity.  We should expect a bumper crop of fruit to come forth in our lives just as the twelve and the seventy experienced.  Jesus chose people with no credentials to do exceptional works on behalf of the Kingdom.  In that sense, you and I are qualified to walk out the commission in similar fashion.  In Mark 16 Jesus spoke:

15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

All Things Are Possible

Saturday, November 12th, 2016

By THE SPIRIT, Mark wrote in chapter 9:

17 Then one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.

18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.”

This particular passage is very enlightening if we will only consider what is being said.  The disciples were expected to heal this man’s son but they were unable to fulfill the request.  We are told elsewhere that the disciples of Jesus went out and healed people of infirmities but this young boy required something beyond their current anointing.

19 He answered him and said, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me.”

20 Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

21 So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood.

22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

The world constantly sows words of unbelief, scarcity, “incurable” diseases, projected famine, and overpopulation.  They would have us believe that FATHER is no longer accessible, even to the point HE no longer exists in some people’s minds.  They begin trusting in man’s sensual wisdom until a catastrophe happens then they shake their fist at GOD asking “Where were you?”.  They have sown seeds of unbelief for years then expect FATHER to show up at their convenience while they have not pursued any kind of relationship with HIM at all.  By HIS Divine Intent of Love FATHER has given us the necessary path to a fulfilled life yet many choose otherwise.

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!”

26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”

27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

28 And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”

29 So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.”

Jesus had not yet gone to the cross when He chastised the disciples for their lack of faith.  Healing by HIS Word existed from the moment FATHER created mankind and HE does not hold back HIS healing power from us awaiting some event or date.  We must no longer settle for less when it comes to FATHER working in our lives but instead truly believe that “All things are possible” to him that believes.  How do we remove unbelief?  By prayer and intimate communication with FATHER.  Let us pursue HIS Presence with the greatest of commitment and let nothing prevent us from this critical pursuit.  Let us dwell on HIS Word in the areas of our weakness and become strong IN HIM.

The disciples asked why they could not cast out the dumb spirit thus they had an expectation to be successful in doing so.  Jesus gave them the key to healing the sick and casting out spirits- only by prayer and fasting.  Let us take this instruction to heart ourselves for FATHER has not changed and is still known as JEHOVAH RAPHA.  FATHER spoke in Exodus chapter 15:

26  and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will permit none of the diseases on you which I have permitted on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”

Thing That Defile

Friday, November 11th, 2016

The word defile means to make unclean, unholy, unfit; to desecrate.

In Mark chapter 7, Jesus spoke:

14 When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear Me, everyone, and understand:

15 There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.

16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Men can modify their behavior and appear respectable and upstanding but when pressure arrives we often will see what is in their heart.  Actions speak louder than words.  The sad truth is revelation becomes tradition as time passes unless we maintain our vigilance in pursuing greater maturity and solidify our Spiritual walk.  The Pharisees were an excellent example of performing the outward acts yet their hearts were cold.  Jesus continued:

17 When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.

18 So He said to them, “Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,

19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?”

20 And He said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.

21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”

FATHER gave us the food laws to protect us from potentially unhealthy food but if we pray over food that may be tainted I am fully persuaded FATHER will bless and nourish it to our bodies.  This is why praying over food is so important and should not become a tradition.  It should be a time of gratitude and unity.

Each of us knows our own thoughts and what we dwell on.  These thoughts are hidden from others but not from FATHER.  When defiling thoughts come we should immediately cast down those thoughts and not allow them to take root.  We must purpose to not be tempted to be tempted.  What does that mean?  Wisdom tells us in Proverbs chapter 5:

1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom; ​​Lend your ear to my understanding,

2 ​​That you may preserve discretion, ​​And your lips may keep knowledge.

3 ​​For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, ​​And her mouth is smoother than oil;

4 ​​But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, ​​Sharp as a two-edged sword.

5 ​​Her feet go down to death, ​​Her steps lay hold of hell.

6 ​​Lest you ponder her path of life—

​​Her ways are unstable; ​​You do not know them.

​7 ​​Therefore hear me now, my children, ​​And do not depart from the words of my mouth.

8 ​​Remove your way far from her, ​​And do not go near the door of her house

If you know a place where you can be tempted, don’t even go near the door to the temptress, let alone knock on the door and enter in.  Deal with the “door” or the thought immediately.  We must protect our heart from temptation and let no evil thought gain traction in our life.  This is where defilement begin.  As we take control over our mind, we will then be in command of our life.

Be Not Ignorant

Thursday, November 10th, 2016

By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in 1 Timothy chapter 1:

12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,

13 although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.

We were all of a sinful nature prior to our salvation in Christ and we walked in ignorance and blindness to FATHER’S Word.  However by HIS grace and mercy HE has wiped away our sins and made us a new creation.  By Jesus accepting and taking on our sins thus becoming the sin offering by His blood, we have been made pure and whole IN HIM.  We must no longer be uninformed of our inheritance IN CHRIST.

Paul called himself the chief sinner referring to his past.  We all can relate with a past which was less than righteous thus we should be equally grateful for our salvation.  One thing we should not do is remain ignorant and assume we have arrived at the fullness of Christ.  Salvation was not the final destination but the beginning of a new journey toward the full understanding of being a vessel of honor on behalf of Our Heavenly Father.  We are to walk in the same footsteps of Christ and give of ourselves fully motivated by Agape Love.

Yes there will be times of longsuffering for there are some who wish to remain ignorant as we minister in their midst but we must not be dismayed but continue in our walk.  FATHER changes not and thus if there is a problem in our life we must look in the mirror.  We must ask FATHER to reveal what needs changed in us.  As we do this HE will reveal what is hidden inside of us in order that it can be dealt with in proper fashion.

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 16:

18 ​​Pride goes before destruction,

​​And a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ​​Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly,

​​Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Pride in this sense is preoccupation with self.  On the other hand Love is being “preoccupied” with the best interest of others.  We must consider others and the impact we have on them.  Let us not be stumbling blocks to their growth in Christ.  The stronger must minister to the weaker.  Let us not be puffed up in our knowledge and use it to belittle those who are ignorant of FATHER’S Word.  Instead, let us lovingly minister life when given the opportunity.  Sometimes, saying nothing may be the best position to take until that person is ready to hear instruction.  Let us continue to study THY Word to show ourselves approved but moreover let us hear HIS Voice which will be an appropriate Word for us today.

Thank You!

Wednesday, November 9th, 2016

We want to thank those who have given to Servias Ministries.  Those who give on a regular basis provide us do not go unnoticed. 

We lift up the financial seed you have planted with us to Heaven and and ask FATHER to bless it so that much fruit will come forth in your areas of need!  Amen.

Looking Up

Wednesday, November 9th, 2016

Jesus knew from whence miracles came.  He understood the key to overcoming the world of scarcity and operated accordingly.  By THE SPIRIT Mark recorded in chapter 6:

39 Then He commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.

40 So they sat down in ranks, in hundreds and in fifties.

41 And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among them all.

42 So they all ate and were filled.

43 And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and of the fish.

44 Now those who had eaten the loaves were about five thousand men.

Students of the Bible tend to overlook the obvious while searching for some hidden revelation.  The miracle began with “Jesus looked up to heaven and blessed”.  The source of all miracles comes from Above and thus we should focus our attention and expectation there instead of looking for signs, formulas, and potions to bring about a miracle.  In Luke chapter 21, Jesus was asked about the end times and He spoke:

25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;

26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

The world system is in disarray and chaos.  No matter who leads the countries around the world there will be judgment come upon the land.  How are we to respond?  We need to “look up” and express our gratitude toward FATHER and trust HIM in these times.  We must quit looking to the created to solve the problems they created.  Instead we must look up toward FATHER in the Spiritual where every aspect of life is derived from.  FATHER is not limited by what man has created and perpetuated and HE will respond to those who seek HIS Face.

Heaven and earth must submit to the CREATOR’S Divine Intent and FATHER will use any resource for HIS Purpose.  HE has set apart those vessels to bring forth HIS Word to this earth to be planted in our “earth”  or bodies.  The seed of the Word will bring forth of multitude of its own kind and we are called to plant and water knowing FATHER will provide the increase.  Let us be unceasing in our sowing of the Word in people’s lives.

Jesus appeared to Saul on the road to Damascus and at that time opened Saul’s ears to hear His Voice.  First Paul had to hear the Word which was planted in his heart by Jesus.  Afterward his eyes were opened to see as recorded by THE SPIRIT in Acts 22:

12 “Then a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good testimony with all the Jews who dwelt there,

13 came to me; and he stood and said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight.’ And at that same hour I looked up at him.

Jesus preached the Word and then looked up toward Heaven to receive the miracle working power of the Word.  Let us hear and dwell on FATHER’S Word then look up toward Heaven to receive the manifested miracle of the Word we have planted in our hearts this day.  As we do, we will come to expect those miracles to become commonplace among us for FATHER watches over HIS Word to perform it.

The Unchanging ONE

Tuesday, November 8th, 2016

In Exodus chapter 15 FATHER spoke:

26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have permitted on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”

The solution to the healthcare issue around the world is found in the above verse… period!  As we have increased in worldly knowledge and understanding at the expense of Spiritual Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, we have distanced ourselves from the healing power of FATHER.  In Malachi chapter 3 FATHER also spoke:

6 ​​“For I am the LORD, I do not change;

​​Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.”

FATHER is the Source of our healing thus why should we focus our attention elsewhere?  There is no variance IN HIM thus HE is the same today as HE was when HE spoke the above revelation to the children of Israel in the wilderness.  This Truth was emphasized by Jesus over and over.  In Matthew chapter 12:

9 Now when He had departed from there, He went into their synagogue.

10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—that they might accuse Him.

11 Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13 Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.

14 Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.

15 But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.

FATHER’S Word is likened to a seed.  Within the seed is the miracle-working power to produce the final result.  Consider the fact that it takes only one acorn to produce a large oak tree.  However the acorn must be planted in the earth and become one with the earth.  As it is watered life comes bursting forth out of the shell.  Oh what a miracle happening all around us.  As we are watered by HIS Word by dwelling on these Truths, the transforming power is released miraculously in our lives.

In Ephesians chapter 5, Paul spoke by THE SPIRIT:

26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,

27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

Our blemishes are removed by HIS Word thus we are fully and completely healed.  In the above passage Jesus healed and restored the man with the withered hand.  After restoration, did the man’s hand have any blemishes?  I think not.  Let us no longer settle for spots and blemishes in our lives but let us move forward to the fully purity promised us.  A pure heart will produce a pure body.  It is as simple as that.  It only takes one acorn to produce a mighty tree thus we must look for that quality seed rather than just haphazardly grabbing a handful.  One appropriate Word from FATHER is all that is required for us to be healed.  Let us take that Word, dwell on it, stand on it and expect it to become fruitful in our lives for HE is the Unchanging ONE willing to heal us ALL!

Placing Limitations

Monday, November 7th, 2016

In Mark chapter 11, Jesus spoke:

22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.

23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

I find that people place subtle restrictions on FATHER’S ability and willingness to perform HIS Word.  In fact, they look for reasons HIS Word will not work in their lives rather than look for reasons why The Word will work on their behalf.  Their mind and its logic controls the narrative rather than their heart.  Often what a man cannot understand is placed in the category of “the impossible” thus there are many promises from FATHER that remain dormant in the personal lives of most people.

Doubt and unbelief are the enemies of having faith in FATHER.  We must develop our spiritual eyes and ears more so than our intellect and logic.  Nothing is wrong with intense study but if we have overdeveloped minds and underdeveloped spirits then we will trust our minds more than our spiritual senses and that is when doubt and unbelief prevail.  Our minds by definition are restricted to what we have exposed them to through our own endeavors.  Our spirits have access to the realm without any such limitations where FATHER resides but this realm is well-protected from soulish, selfish exploitations.

In the above passage, Jesus focused on what is in our heart rather than our mind when He placed the condition “ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes”.  The focus must be on the condition of our heart.  The world would have us spend our formative years receiving an education and strengthening our mind without regard to strengthening our heart.  As a result we have young adults who have become self-centered in their thinking rather than self-sacrificing for the benefit of others.  Parents have allowed prayer to be removed from school and now we must deploy metal detectors and police to protect the children at school.  Once the Spiritual standard of the LORD’S Prayer was removed, children were left to their own immature devices and lawlessness grew in that environment.

Exercising our spiritual life should be as important as exercising our minds and bodies.  The above passage is based on the assumption that you are praying to FATHER and in constant communication.  Many people want to use the above passage only in times of emergencies and otherwise be left alone to pursue their worldly activities.  Jesus gave us an expressed promise but also gave us expressed requirements for success.  These requirements are not limited to those with high IQ’s.  Success is not based on unique characteristics only found among the privileged.  They are based on willingness to be led by THE SPIRIT rather than our limited mind.  We must purpose to strengthen our heart as much as we do other aspects of our lives.

If HIS Word isn’t working in our life, we must assume that we are the issue, not HIM.  If I am not producing fruit in a particular area it is because I am void of revelation in that area.  There is something amiss and I must change.  I believe our willingness to change determines our spiritual success and maturity.  I look back at doctrines I held in past decades only to find they were wrong and produced no fruit.  We must admit our past failures, bury them, then get on with life.  We must not let pride get in the way.  We must simply repent before FATHER and be grateful HE opened our eyes to the limitations we placed on HIM in the past.

Confessing HIS Word alone does not produce anything for we must believe HIS Word first.  We must approach FATHER without preconceived notions and come into HIS Presence with innocent perception as well as an expectation of receiving a fresh, appropriate Word for our lives today.  There are no insurmountable mountains which cannot be overcome by faith IN HIM.  We must not allow our minds to convince us otherwise.  Our mind would have us seek some subtle formula hidden in Scripture from the masses as though FATHER is hesitant to allow us to find success.  The Pharisees had full access to all Scripture yet they could not recognize the Messiah standing before them.  Go figure!

In Matthew chapter 20, Jesus spoke:

20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

The more time we spend with FATHER, the less limitations exist in our lives.  Dwell on this Truth today.  If need be, wipe the slate clean and start over.  Come to HIM with a pure heart and no agenda.  Let FATHER minster what is on HIS Heart which happens to be our wellbeing.  Our Loving FATHER only wants what is best for us so let our faith be strong IN HIM and HE will remove whatever mountains stand in our way.

Heart-Led Versus Logic-Led

Sunday, November 6th, 2016

By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in Philippians chapter 4:

17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.

Man’s traditions are built upon logic apart from THE SPIRIT.  The mind is an excellent servant but a harsh taskmaster.  Logic requires two points of reference in order to determine an expectation whereas the heart is directly connected with FATHER and responds to the higher Wisdom from Above.  Generosity originates from the heart.

As we mature in Christ we come to the realization that relationship is what life is all about, not things.  The mind would have you believe that fulfillment is found through the accumulation of wealth and possessions because it thrives on scarcity and the never ending aspect of solving it.  The mind will convince you to hoard when FATHER is telling you to give and you must choose whom you will serve.

Our senses can only comprehend the 1% of the universe.  On the other hand, our spirit has access to the full 100% if only we will walk according to our heart.  If we will simply allow ourselves to move toward being heart-led, we will begin to comprehend the fullness of THE SPIRIT.

For example, Jesus went to the cross and fully overcame two curses, not just one.  In 1 Peter chapter 2, by THE SPIRIT Peter wrote:

24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.

Not only was the curse of sin dealt with but also the curse of sickness.  Jesus spent as much time healing the multitudes as He did ministering salvation.  Our minds would have us accept much less than the fullness of the cross.  How can we quickly accept the forgiveness of sin yet have such difficulty receiving the deliverance from sickness?  Our five senses are constantly sending messages to our brains that sickness is simply a part of life thus the mind will logically convince us to disregard the second curse Jesus overcame at the cross. 

Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Which is easier, to overcome sin or sickness?  Is it easier for FATHER to forgive us of a life of sin and erase the past or heal our bodies which HE created?  Neither pose a problem for HIM yet we submit to the mind’s logic rather than FATHER’S Word.  If it was FATHER’S perfect Will for us to be sick why would Jesus heal so many?  Why are we settling for living a life of suffering? Let us no longer compromise our deliverance!

It is time to get back to the simplicity of the Gospel.  The mind would have us move toward complexity where it can prevail as that harsh taskmaster mentioned above.  The people Jesus healed did not have access to the volumes of data and information at our disposal yet Jesus healed them all.  Let us embrace the simplicity of being led by THE SPIRIT and focus on HIS Truth.  Let us simplify and seek to connect with out hearts and make a decision to put our minds in their rightful place as servants.  The heart can understand infinity where FATHER operates, our minds can’t.  Let our hearts be strengthened with the peace that surpasses all understanding.

As Paul wrote in Philippians by THE SPIRT in chapter 4:

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Once we truly “hear” the Word, let us respond to it, believe it, and expect it to operate fully in our lives.  Our bodies must submit to HIS Word once our unbelief is removed and our minds are put in their designated place.  Let HIS SPIRIT prevail in our hearts as we guard both our hearts and our minds.  Let us accept the fullness of the work at the cross.
