Mind, Body and Soul


"Listen, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone. And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength." Deut. 6:4-5(NLT)
The soul is our mind, emotions, and will. The mind and the brain co-produce our lives. It is the mind and brain together that produces conscious awareness. The deeper parts of the brain, the brainstem is exceptionally delicate and vulnerable. The mind is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings. It is the seat of the faculty or reason or the aspect of intellect and consciousness experienced as combinations of thought, perception, memory, emotion, will and imagination, including all unconscious cognitive processes.  The brain is the organ of the mind just as the lungs are the organs for respiration. The mind cannot be localized to particular areas within the brain. It is not physical and investigateable in the the world of science.  Yet, the mind is what the brain does. It can be retrained to change our habitual patterns, reduce stress reactions and alter our attitude, emotions and outlook on life. Every emotion and thought gives off physical signals.

This is why the greatest commandment is to love the LORD your God will all your soul. The love of God becomes the conduit that gives power to our soul. The Holy Spirit gives birth to your spiritual life. Ask yourself, "Do I truly believe in God, and do I love Him deep in my soul? If I do why am I living a defeated life and my mind and emotions are the same? You have a new life. Do not give permission to the devil to wreck havoc on you anymore!"


Prayer: Heavenly Father, I love you with all my heart, soul, and all of my strength. My mind is no longer in a battle because of the overwhelming love I have for you.The battle is over ! My soul belongs to the One True God, who has defeated my Enemy. I thank you for revealing this to me, because I love you. I do not give Satan permission, through my sins, to rule over me in thought, word or deed. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen!

 For His Glory,

Turning Your Pain into Power

Image
  "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore,  for the former things have passed away (R evelation 21:4 ESV)." T he journey of life has many twists and turns. There are times when a turn leads us to a place of pain. But, we have the ability to used that pain to catapult ourselves to the place of power. The loss of my younger sister was very painful. She unexpectedly died. I was hurt, cried for days, and thought my chest would burst open from the pain of her departure to be with Jesus.  Not only was she my sister, but my friend. Someone you couldn't help but love! She was loving, kind, compassionate, and caring.  I don't know a sweeter person than my sister, Janice (or JanBaby as our family referred to her).  She started singing at the age of three. You could feel the power of her love deep in your soul, down to your "bones", when she lifted her voice, and breathed ...

God Doesn't Err and Trouble Doesn't Last Always

Image
Your life has many winding roads and complicated stops.   Jesus said, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world (John 16:33)." When you read the verse, your thought might be, "If Jesus has overcome the world, why does my world feels so broken?" In t he circle of life we have beginnings, endings, and everything in between.  The ebbs  and flows of life bring waters of both joy and pain. But, with God's guiding hands, it flows in a way that moves us upstream to a place of peace, blessings, rest and trust.  You may walk through the great darkness ravine, but you will get through it, because God's got you!    We are overcomers in mind, spirit and soul. Whatever you are going through, it too shall pass.  L ife may not be fair, but God is fair.  Psalm 56 , the psalmist declares to God, “ You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle...

The Reward of Persistent Prayer

Image
    [Jeremiah 29:12-13 (CJB)]: "When you call to me and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you seek me, you will find me, provided you seek from me wholeheartedly;" Dear Ladies, I write this blog with you and the many prayers that you have prayed in mind. Luke 18:2-5] "In a certain town, there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected other people. There was also in that town a widow who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me a judgment against the man who is trying to ruin me.' For a long time he refused; but after awhile, he said to himself, 'I don't fear God, and I don't respect other people; but because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see to it that she gets justice - otherwise, she'll keep coming and pestering me till she wears me out!"  God is not a cruel judge. When we persist in prayer, we are not pestering Him! Jesus told his disciple this parable, in order to impress on them that they   must always keep praying   a...
