Before you read this study understand that we do not teach, we share and then ask all who read the following take it to God and verify it with Him. We believe a lot of the world is misled by the church of the world and religion vs the one true church. And to know the truth can only come from knowing, not just knowing of God, John 14:26, I John 2:27, Rev 3:19-22.
Many are called but few are chosen because many are misled by false teachers Matthew 7:13-15 so we help all who wants to know the truth how to find and know the truth of and by God and not of and by man.



The Mind and Fear


Pastor J. R. Wilhite, author   Close Window

The mind controls the body. It can control the spirit, and the soul. Fear comes from the mind, no matter if you believe in the devil or not, you believe in the power of your own mind. We know the word tells us that the battle is in the mind

Colossians 1

  1. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

Colossians 2

  1. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

1 Timothy 6

  1. Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Ephesians 6

  1. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
  2. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
  3. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
  4. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
  5. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
  6. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
  7. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
  8. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

The helmet of salvation covers what?

The head and where is the mind suppose to be?

In the head, that's right, our salvation starts with the knowledge that we are lost. We have something missing in our lives and from there it goes into the spiritual.

We can have a fleshly mind or a spiritual mind. How?

A mind of the flesh is one of this world. It is full of things of this world. No, that does not mean you can not have things, it means they can not have you.

What in the world does that statement mean? How can they have me?

Anything that you spend most of your time on or with other than work is something that owns you not something that you own.

If, in your waking time (not at work) you spend most of your time in front of the television then it owns you.

To have a spiritual mind is to have a mind that will return to things of the Spirit or the word more than anything else.

Fear is something Satan will use to get a Christian off track when all else has failed. Look at Job, Satan could not touch him until he got Job into fear. Who do you think planted the fear into Job that his children were sinning?

Job 1

  1. And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Until this happened Satan had no way in to mess with Job. No, God did not point Job out to Satan. The way it was written in 1612AD it was read as a question as God asking Satan what he had against Job.

Satan will plant a seed of fear in us at our weakest times hoping it will take root. I know he has tried to do it to me when I was tired after putting in 60+ hours or sick.

I John

  1. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Here are a few verses to look at about the power of the mind.

Ephesians 2

  1. Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Ephesians 4

  1. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

Ephesians 4

  1. And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

Philippians 1

  1. Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

Philippians 2

  1. If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
  2. Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
  3. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
  4. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
  5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Philippians 3

  1. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

My prayer for you is:

3 John 1

2. Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth

Remember to show faith when you pray, then praise and give thanks.

God Bless You as you hear His words and follow His leading.
