Functioning from the Wrong Mind As a Believer In Christ

Believers have access to the mind of Christ.  But believers also have access to the carnal mind.  But the carnal mind is enmity with God and cannot discern spiritual things ever.  That is what God's word says not my opinion.  Your carnal mind is not going with you after this life.  Believers are made new but living believers still have the carnal mind and must not exalt it anymore otherwise they will be double minded.  And a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

The carnal mind says, "Oh no the doctors just said I have ALS.  I hope and pray that the doctors can heal me even though they give no evidence that medicine can heal me."  But as a believer this person also has access to the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ that we as believers have access to agrees with the promises of God's word.  God's word promises healing.  Believers that study that out and exalt the mind of Christ over the carnal mind can see supernatural healing.

Before Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden there was no death or sickness or disease.  After Adam fell death and sickness and disease were in the world.  So where does sickness come from?  

There is power in words and thought

Proverbs 4:20-22 KJV
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

Proverbs 18:21 KJV
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Proverbs 23:7 KJV
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

Romans 4:17 KJV
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.


God's Word is Powerful and Sustains Us

Hebrews 4:12 KJV

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Jesus paid for our sins and for our infirmities and sickness and disease

Isaiah 53:5 KJV

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

1 Peter 2:24 KJV

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Capture All Thoughts and Put Them Under the Subjection of the mind of Christ

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

What Is Faith?

Hebrews 11:1 KJV

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2 Corinthians 4:18 KJV

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

We Battle Against the Enemy of Our Souls Not People

Ephesians 6:12 KJV

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.

James 1:5-8 KJV

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Jesus Was Manifested to Destroy the Works of the Devil

1 John 3:8 KJV

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

John 10:10 KJV

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Jesus Said to them, "Have faith in God" and "what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

Mark 11:13-14 KJV
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

Mark 11:20-24 KJV

20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
