UNFILTERED | Soul Prosperity

Sermon Series: “Unfiltered” Sermon #4 “Soul Prosperity”

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”

3 John 2 “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” 

John 8:32 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:36 “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”

 Galatians 5:1 (AMP) “In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off].” (NLT ) “Now make sure that you stay free…”

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your
very existence is an act of rebellion.” Albert Camus

Jesus is the one and only LIBERATOR. 
He has brought freedom back to man and through this new man (Church — Body Of Christ), aligned with His headship, He has brought freedom to the cosmos.

Ephesians 1:22-23 “And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”

Walking in the Spirit isn’t trying to be a good person — It’s walking in the Spirit.

Ephesians 4:23-24 “...be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.”

Creation is designed to be structured under human dominion.
If I am dominated, through my senses, by this broken world, I can never exercise dominion.
Adam didn’t lose his religion, he lost his right to RULE!

Will You Accept Your Assignment?

Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Twoedged:— (distomos) from two words, twice and mouth. 
Isaiah 55:11 “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” 

Watchman Nee. “A MAN’S WILL is his organ for decision-making. To want or not to want, to choose or not to choose are the typical operations of the will. It is his ‘helm’ by which he sails upon the sea of life. The will of a man can be taken as his real self, for it truthfully represents him.”

Your will is the door between your spirit and all other aspects of your life. 
You must be active attendant of that door. The enemy is after your will. 
He wants you to walk in agreement with him. He wants you to live independently of God.

John 4:34 “Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.’”
John 8:29 “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.”  

Psalm 32:8-9 (NLT) “The Lord says, ‘I will guide you (with my eye) along the best pathway for your life.  I will advise you and watch over you. Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.’”

Ephesians 5:17-18 (AMP) “Therefore do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is.  Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him.”

Job 11:12 (NASB) “An idiot will become intelligent When a wild donkey is born a human.”
{Message) “Hollow men, hollow women, will wise up about the same time mules learn to talk.”

Jesus in Gethsemane is having the full human experience. 
Matthew 26:36-41 "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me…The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." 
Luke 22:41-44 “…And being in anguish,… and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground….”  
Mark 14:34-36 “…Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

Three Scriptures:
Psalm 27:8 “When You said, ‘Seek My face,’ My heart said to You, ‘Your face, Lord, I will seek.’”
Two mouthed sword. 

Romans 12:1-2 (NIV) “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.  
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Philippians 2:12-13 (NASB) “So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, … work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to desire and to work for His good pleasure.”

“Work out” (katergazomai) :— to bring something to completion, to carry out to full expression, to realize or manifest what is already present.

God creates the desire, the inclination, the "want to." God enables the “to do.” 
He supplies the power, energy, and ability to carry out what He has made us desire.
This is not self-powered effort. It's grace-enabled obedience. God is the source of both the willing and the doing.

We genuinely choose, we genuinely obey, we genuinely "will" and "do"—yet none of it originates from our unaided strength. 
God Himself is GRACIOUSLY at work in us, producing both the willingness and the power, all for His good pleasure.

Your will is linked in the soul realm to your conscious mind and your subconscious mind.
Conscious mind — The Thinker
Subconscious mind — Store House and Auto pilot

Conscious mind plants seeds — Through thoughts, focus, words, and decisions.
Subconscious mind grows habits — Through repetition, emotion, and experience
What’s repeated + emotionally charged becomes “normal” The subconscious treats it as truth

Conscious mind = steering wheel. Subconscious mind = engine
Renewal of the mind is conscious. Transformation of behaviour flows from the subconscious.

Caroline Leaf — “The Gift In You” 143 “…an attitude is a cluster of thoughts with an emotional flavour, and every type of emotion has one of two roots — love or fear. Love and fear are the root emotions, and all other emotions grow from these. … these two cannot coexist, that at any one moment we will be operating in one or the other.”

Caroline Leaf “The Gift Ib You” 146 “Science is showing that there is a massive ‘unlearning’ of negative toxic thoughts when we operate in love. The brain releases a chemical called oxytocin which literally melts away the negative toxic thought clusters so that rewiring new non-toxic thoughts. … Love literally wipes out fear. 

5 Ways To Confront Toxic Clusters
1. Action
I can’t run … I can’t lift … I can’t do math … I can’t speak … I can’t hear God
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

2. Mentoring
A trusted source. That person has unfiltered access to your subconscious mind.
For better, for worse. Good person!
Philppians 3:17 “Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.”

3. Belief System
This information will go directly to your subconscious mind, program it and turn to solid beliefs.
“Your mind is trying to catch up with what your spirit already knows.” Caroline Leaf 

4. Meditation
The subconscious mind learns by repetition and not by logic. Adding strong belief to what you focus on and it will have more impact. Develop A Mindset

5. Love
“Love literally wipes out fear.” C. Leaf 
1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”

Psalm 35:9 “And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord; It shall rejoice in His salvation.”
