The Battle of the Mind Series with Ev. Adalis Shuttlesworth and Magalis Griffiths- Part One: 

Here are some powerful takeaways from this teaching: 

Like a simple switch, you can program your mind into thinking success, joy, and healing.

Romans 12:1-2 “And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”

You can be born again and not transformed. You can be a Christian and still be conformed to the way the world does things. Copying the behavior of the world is a sure way to fail.

It all begins in the mind. Be transformed into a new person by changing the way that you think.

When you transform your mind, it will transform you into a new person.

Isaiah 53:1-12 “Who has believed our message? To whom has the Lord revealed his powerful arm?  My servant grew up in the Lord’s presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected—a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.

All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all. He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. Unjustly condemned, he was led away. No one cared that he died without descendants, that his life was cut short in midstream. But he was struck down for the rebellion of my people. He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave.

But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him and cause him grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life, and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands. When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish, he will be satisfied. And because of his experience, my righteous servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he will bear all their sins. I will give him the honors of a victorious soldier, because he exposed himself to death. He was counted among the rebels. He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels.”

See the wealth of our salvation here in this passage of Scripture. Simply getting to heaven is not the end all of salvation!

You don’t need to have anxiety or fear. You can live free from those things! Read above everything that has been afforded to you because of the cross.

The number one tactic of the enemy is to bring your efforts to a halt and cause you to give up. Don’t fall prey and be held captive to the enemy any longer! Don’t let the enemy infiltrate your mind and get you to back up from your promise- to back up from your healing.

You need to read the Word of God every single day! The Bible is how you understand God’s will or your life.
