Set Right\n

I have a lot of respect for the Demoniac of Gadara, whose story is told in Mark chapter 5 and Luke chapter 8. I even dedicated my book Soul Invasion to this man who, in so many ways, is so like us today.\n

I have thought a lot about him over the years. I have even stood near the very cliff in Galilee where that famous herd of pigs plunged to its death, possessed with the very demonic thoughts and voices that tormented him for years.\n

Though I don\u2019t know his name, I feel like I know him. Though I never heard him speak, his testimony has preached to me and encouraged me for nearly three decades.\n

I know there was a time when he lost his battle for his mind, but for the past 2,000 years, he\u2019s had a head full of peace. Only Jesus can do that.\n

I would pay big bucks to get a glimpse of the befuddled faces who saw him just after his encounter with Jesus. There he was, no longer hurting himself, no longer ashamed, no longer fearful or a menace. He was in the presence of the King and in his right mind. I\u2019m sure jaws dropped in shock and awe at the difference Christ made in him.\n

I don\u2019t know the names of all the people reading this, but I pray you meet the same Jesus and have the same testimony of having your soul \u2013 your mind \u2013 not only set right but focused on things above \u2014 the Kingdom.\n

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.\u00a0\u2013 Colossians 3:1-3","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Set Right

I don’t know the names of all the people reading this, but I pray you meet the same Jesus and have the same testimony of having your soul – your mind – not only set right but focused on things above — the Kingdom.

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

Dead and impure things in my life are pushed out and replaced with pure things the more I encounter the “Life-Giver.” I declare, Holy Spirit is in me, Jesus makes intercession for me in the Throne Room of Heaven, and I have No more torment in Jesus’ name!
