Christians are still in oppressed. The day the christian knows who she is in Christ, there is no more oppression and she is set free. When she believe Jesus inside her, the doctor is the one who tell her don’t need to take medicine. All she did was she believed the word of God. We will enjoy the freedom in our lives.
As you learn, you can now be instrument and preach the gospel of God. After receiving Jesus, it is renewing of our mind.
Learn to lean on Him. The movement. You dance to a rhythm. When someone dance we just follow and dance along with the one who is stronger.
You need to be able to trust the person. When you know the person well, having fellowship with the person, you will be able to trust the person.
No matter how hard we try to quote the scripture and if we are still scare, than we don’t know who we are in Him.
We need the revelation and understanding and wisdom by renewing our mind.
1 Peter 3:4 KJV
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
HIDDEN MAN of the HEART
MEEK and QUIET SPIRIT - Spirit Man
SIGHT OF GOD of GREAT PRICE
This is the character of our new Spirit Man
Meek and quiet spirit
Matthew 11:29
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Meek
Gentle; humble
Learn from Jesus. Meek and lowly in heart
Find rest unto your souls.
Soul is your will mind and emotion
The rest is in the soul.
When your soul rest you don’t have trouble in your heart.
Heart
Centre of all physical and spiritual life
The vigour and sense of physical life
The centre and seat of spiritual life
In the spirit you have conscience and gut feeling. Physical body, your 5 senses
Between Conscious and spirit, the connection is your heart. I give you a new heart and a new spirit.
The soul or mind is the fountain and seat of the thoughts, passions, desires, appetites, affections, purposes
The heart is the centre that expresses everything. The heart; the thoughts or feeling (mind) the middle
Rest -
Intermission, cease from any movement or labour in order to recover and collect his strength
To give rest, refresh
To keep quiet, of calm
Unforced rhythm of grace - The movement is sitting on the Father and dance with Him.
Rest is no movement. Be still.
When the body wants to sleep but the mind cannot sleep. That is why people cannot sleep at night.
Rest means quiet. Peace and rest is not everything outside need to be quiet first.
We are at rest even when there is covid outside.
Acts 7:20-21 TPT
“Then Moses came on the scene—a child of divine beauty. His parents hid him from Pharaoh as long as they could to spare his life. After three months they could conceal him no longer, so they had to abandon him to his fate. But God arranged that Pharaoh’s daughter would find him, take him home, and raise him as her own son.
God sent someone to deliver
God arranged.
Behind the scene God arranged.
Acts 7:22 TPT
So Moses was fully trained in the royal courts and educated in the highest wisdom Egypt had to offer, until he arose as a powerful prince and an eloquent orator.
FULLY TRAINED in the Royal Courts
EDUCATED in the HIGHEST WISDOM EGYPT HAD TO OFFER
POWERFUL PRINCE
ELOQUENT ORATOR
Egypt -> means the world
Moses was trained to have worldly thinking. He was trained to think like a prince but a worldly prince.
All our education comes from the world. If you receive the Lord after your education, you are like Moses. Educated in the Egypt. The best school.
The devil tried to bring people to think the world has one religion. And all good people will not go to hell. This is deception.
This become half truth half lies
You are taking mental food for your soul area. The wisdom of the world teaches you to depend on yourself. The smarter you are, the more successful you will be.
There is competition in this world to be successful, to be on top.
All about you. They train you and teach you to be self sufficient and to build your mental muscle of the mind by knowledge so that you can be successful in this world.
Tree of Knowledge of good and evil -
Depend yourself
Man wants to be like God. Independent of God.
Tree of Life - depend on Jesus for our wisdom and success
God’s Word is God’s principle and God’s way of thinking
Our education comes from the wisdom of Egypt
All the education and training, Moses became powerful prince and eloquent orator.
Acts 7:23-24 TPT
“When Moses turned forty, his heart was stirred for his people, the Israelites.
One day he saw one of our people being violently mistreated, so he came to his rescue, and with his own hands Moses murdered the abusive Egyptian.
At 40, Moses’ heart was stirred for His people. He knew his identity.
He had the power even to kill. He was raised in the mindset of Egypt. He killed the Egyptian.
He used his education to think and made decision.
Acts 7:26 TPT
The next day he came upon two of our people engaged in a fist fight, and he tried to break it up by saying, ‘Men, you are brothers! Why would you want to hurt each other?’
Acts 7:27-28 TPT
“But the perpetrator pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who do you think you are? Who appointed you to be our ruler and judge? Are you going to kill me like you did the Egyptian yesterday?’
God sees everything. When we know our real God we live in peace.
Acts 7:29-30 TPT
“Shaken by this, Moses fled Egypt and lived as an exile in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
After forty years had passed, while he was in the desert near Mount Sinai, the Messenger of Yahweh appeared to him in the midst of a flaming thorn bush.
From a prince, he fled and he became a shepherd. From talking to people, he talked to sheep.
Another 40 years had passed where he was at a desert near Mount Sinai.
40 years of Egypt
40 years in desert
At 80 year old, God spoke to him in the burning bush.
Acts 7:31-32 TPT
Moses was astonished and stunned by what he was seeing, so he drew closer to observe this marvel. Then the Lord Yahweh spoke to him out of the flames:
‘I am the living God, the God of your ancestors. I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ “Trembling in God’s presence and overwhelmed with awe, Moses didn’t even dare to look into the fire.
At 80 years old he was no longer the same when he was a prince. He no longer think like a prince. He took 40 years to get out of Egypt.
He dare not look into the fire.
Acts 7:33-34 TPT
“Out of the flames the Lord Yahweh said to him: ‘Take the sandals off your feet, for you are standing in the realm of holiness.
I have watched and seen how my people
have been mistreated in Egypt. I have heard their painful groaning, and now I have come down to set them free.
So come to me, Moses, for I am sending you to Egypt to represent me.’
God has to get rid of all the wrong beliefs from our education in Egypt.
COME TO ME, Moses, for I AM SENDING you to EGYPT to REPRESENT ME
He thought he was the deliverer but it was wrong time. Now is the right time.
Do not seek in the counsel of the ungodly
Ungodly is those who don’t have Jesus in them.
The good of the world are those who do charity and very kind. The bad are those who do bad.
But God definition, there is none good. He make us good. A righteous heart. He had to take out the old heart and give us the righteous heart.
Most of us will say we are good. In the eyes of God, all have sin and come short of His glory. We cannot be good on our own effort.
God took out our old heart. Our righteousness is like filthy rag.
The Lord needs to take out our old heart and give us a new heart.
This heart is what is really good.
Paul is the only person in the bible with the revelation that he is the worst of sinners and least of saints.
Sometimes it is easier for criminal to understand grace.
We are all like Moses.
Earlier Moses sent himself as deliverer.
After 40 years, God told him.” I am sending you”
Exodus 3:10-11
Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”
But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
He don’t know who he is. His mind was totally changed in the 40 years. Before that he was prince of Egypt. The people he wanted to deliver asked him the same question, “who are you”
He no longer trusted himself.
The new generation go to conquer the promised land.
Exodus 4:10
Then Moses said to the LORD, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”
He was eloquent when he was a prince.
Now he said he is not.
Now he said he is slow of speech and slow of tongue.
He realised he is nobody. God choose the nobody in this world. When we are full of ourselves we cannot be full of God.
God had to empty his natural abilities. Moses had a lot of pride as a prince of Egypt.
Now he came to this state that he knows he cannot speak.
Acts 7:35 TPT
So God sent back to Egypt the man our people rejected and refused to recognize by saying, ‘Who appointed you to be our ruler and judge?’ God sent this man back to be their ruler and deliverer, commissioned with the power of the messenger who appeared to him in the flaming thorn bush.
COMMISSIONED with the POWER
Moses knew the ways of God. The mindset and education of Egypt was taken out of him. God felt he was ready and sent him back to Egypt.
Earlier Moses had the power of the prince
Now he has the power of God (like the power of Holy Spirit)
Acts 7:36 TPT
This man brought the people out from their Egyptian bondage with many astonishing wonders and miracle signs—miracles in Egypt, miracles at the Red Sea, and miracles during their forty-year journey through the wilderness.
Proverbs 3:5-7 NLT
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
DON’T ASSUME YOU KNOW IT ALL
Run to God!
1 Peter 3:4
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Meek means humble
This means humility. Trust in Him and not the education of this world
Quiet-
Tranquil
Keeping one’s seat (sedentary)
Still (undisturbed, undisturbing)
Seat is talking about our position. Our position in Christ. Know our identity in Christ.
Know our position in Christ. We are now building our spiritual man. Keep your seat, still and undisturbed.
Steadfast, immovable.
Jesus knew who He is and did not need to defend Himself. He is quiet in knowing who He is.
God can rule the whole universe because of His justice.
Now the devil is the small g. The small god of the world.
God is just and He followed His justice to rule the universe.
You are legally a child of God. In the court it is not how much you shout to the judge.
It is not about where we go. It is not about “I go church so i am a child of God.” It has to be legal.
For you and me; the devil scare of us, what is our legal identity.
The word of God tells us we are His children
John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
God had to punish sin in front of the devil in the body of Jesus Christ.
If God punish Jesus, He don’t punish us who are in Christ
Jesus died for us on the cross. Punishment of disobedience was done on the cross.
we have every legal rights to tell the devil to get out. This is the justice of God and love of God together
God did not give us sonship because we are the favourite child. We are joint heir with Christ
Isaiah 30:15
For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel;In returning and rest shall ye be saved;in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength:and ye would not.
The spiritual evidence -
Righteousness is the ability to be able to stand before God and devil, our legal rights.
If you have the title deed, the legal owner, you will not be scare.
When you know you have the legal stand before God as Jesus stand before God, you are not scare.
QUIETNESS goes with CONFIDENCE
shall be your strength
Psalms 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
God said I AM
Whatever we need, He said I AM
I AM all powerful and I AM whatever you need.
I AM! It is always present continuous!
I AM the One protecting you
I AM, not I WAS or I WILL BE
I AM the NOW GOD
God means the supreme One
When we understand who God really is, than we can be still.
The still small voice will tell you.
Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.
There is right and wrong, truth and lies.
MIND - Thoughts, or imagination
STAYED - to lean or lay upon, rest upon, lean against to support uphold, sustain
TRUST - confident or sure - be bold (confident, secure)
Philippians 4:8 NLT
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
One thing that will fall into all these. Jesus is the Word make flesh.
Jesus is now seated at the right hand of the Father.
Fixed our mind on the truth.
Who God is and who we are in Christ.
Meditate. Imagination. Fill your mind day in and day out with the Word.
Be transformed by the renew of the mind.
This new heart cannot express the old Egypt mind.
Fix your thoughts in whatever that is truth.
Divine health and healing
Feed your spirit man through meditation and confession of Word
What kind of life you want to live on this earth is your choice.
Pastor Stephanie wanted to have divine health. She stopped reading news and every symptoms of sickness in the world.
Whatever we put inside our head will affect our heart. The thought area is very important.
Fast the world wisdom that is enmity with God. God said I am your Healer.
Philippians 4:8 MSG
Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.
My Word is spirit and life!
Philippians 4:9 NLT
Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.
PUT INTO PRACTICE
You wont believe until it happens. Put the Word you believe into action. If you don’t have revelation on tithing, don’t tithe.
Get the revelation and put into practice.
Mark 6:34
And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
Jesus is calm and peaceful. Jesus is the One we go to. As He is, so are we.
We put His thoughts into our thoughts.
The worries in our thought life.
Jas 1:8 KJV
A DOUBLE minded man is UNSTABLE in all his WAYS.
You will be very unstable if you cannot make decision.
We can straight away make decision because we have the mind of Christ.
No doubts. You have a clear purpose.
What are you doing in your lives?
You just know where you are going and how you live your life.
Unstable -
Restless
John 14:1
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
How to let your heart not troubled? By believing. Believe in God believe also in Me
TROUBLED -
No rest
Take away his CALMNESS OF MIND
disquiet
Strike one’s spirit
The heart can also think. As a man think in his heart so is he.
Romans 10:9-10 TPT
And what is God’s “living message”? It is the revelation of faith for salvation, which is the message that we preach. For if you publicly declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will experience salvation. 10 The heart that believes in him receives the gift of the righteousness of God—and then the mouth confesses, resulting in salvation.
First part os believe.
Believe in what He says
Romans 4:3
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Abraham believed the impossible.
He believed God will save the ungodly.
Abraham believed God. God asked him to look at the star and the sky. See the picture. See yourself imagine.
We believed God’s Word that seems impossible In the natural.
THE HEART CANNOT BELIEVE GOD’S WORDS IF THE MIND IS DIVIDED.
Believe you are rich in Christ because the Lord said so (even if your bank account is not into many zeros)
Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in Me.
Sometimes after you listen to a message you feel you have a lot of faith.
We need faith and grace.
The whole week you did not listen to anything or even speak God Word.
Faith comes by hearing and fear also comes by hearing.
Everyday keep hearing and fast the worldly news. If not you have divided minds.
The unforced rhythm of grace. It is difficult to eat spiritual food because your mind is enemy with God.
Come to Me, put My Words in you.
Out of the abundance of your heart.
Meek and quiet spirit of the hidden person of the heart.
How much you get is how much you eat.
