We need to walk in full agreement with GOD!
When our confession comes into agreement with GOD, it releases the capacity to forsake past weaknesses in our lives. As a result, our foundation becomes stronger, and we can handle the weightier matters of revelation and anointing to fulfill our purpose here on earth.
Jesus spoke to the Pharisees in Matthew chapter 23:
23 “Great sorrow awaits you religious scholars and Pharisees—frauds and pretenders! For you are obsessed with peripheral issues, like insisting on paying meticulous tithes on the smallest herbs that grow in your gardens. These matters are fine, yet you ignore the most important, weightier duties of all: to walk in the love of God, to display mercy to others, and to live with integrity. Readjust your values and place first things first.
The Pharisees assigned importance to peripheral issues rather than the most important mandate given to us: to walk in the Love of GOD and display mercy to others.
Integrity is defined as: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage. When we live with full integrity, FATHER will trust us to handle greater spiritual responsibility. Our ability to handle trials and tribulations reveal the strength of our foundation. Once we see our weaknesses, we are to come into agreement with The Word and turn those weaknesses to strengths through The Word.
Peter encourages us by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 4:
7 Since we are approaching the end of all things, be intentional, purposeful, and self-controlled so that you can be given to prayer.
8 Above all, constantly echo God’s intense Love for one another, for Love will be a canopy over a multitude of sins.
9 Be compassionate to foreigners without complaining.
10 Every believer has received grace gifts, so use them to serve one another as faithful stewards of the many-colored tapestry of God’s grace.
Don’t allow arrogance, self-centeredness, and pride to prevent you from establishing a firm foundation in Christ!
Peter continues in chapter 5:
8 Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour.
9 Take a decisive stand against him and resist his every attack with strong, vigorous faith. For you know that your believing brothers and sisters around the world are experiencing the same kinds of troubles you endure.
10 And then, after your brief suffering, the God of all Loving grace, Who has called you to share in His Eternal glory in Christ, will personally and powerfully restore you and make you stronger than ever. Yes, He will set you firmly in place and build you up. [
11 And He has all the power needed to do this—forever! Amen.
The prize of all prizes if the Mind of Christ! It is the reward of repentance. It is seeing the way He sees and thinking the way He thinks.
Jesus sees the possibility of the potential of a moment. He could start with seven loaves and a few small fish, feed four thousand men plus women and children, then end up with seven large baskets of leftover fragments as described in Mark chapter 8. This was Divine reasoning (the superior), not reasoning in the inferior… the natural.
Our desire should be that our initial reaction to circumstances be The Mind of Christ. It is necessary to revisit Mark chapter 8.
Jesus spoke concerning the mindset in Mark chapter 8:
13 And Jesus left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side. 14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.
15 Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed (be on your guard), beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have no bread.”
17 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?
18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?” They said to Him, “Twelve.”
20 “Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”
21 So He said to them, “How is it you do not understand?”
The disciples’ mindset was similar to that of the Pharisees and Jesus warned them about it. Jesus expressed His Mind by manifesting the supernatural in the natural for the disciples to see, yet they failed to grasp the lesson. Their hearts were still hardened not allowing the Mind of Christ to prevail. Let us not make the same mistake! Instead, let us walk in the full agreement with GOD by accessing and walking in the Mind of Christ. That is where the supernatural resides and brings forth manifestation.
