by the partners and Friends of Kow
Dollar
Ministries coming up next on changing
your
world when was the last time you sat
down and you started thinking about what
you’re thinking
about think about what I’m saying right
now when was the last time you sat down
and started thinking about
what you’ve been thinking
about and that’s my question what have
you been thinking about whatever you
focus on the
most that has the most power and
strength to determine your
output so what have you been spending
most of your thought life
with change experiences B and better
than ever you’re invited to come along
our West Coast stop will be in sunny
California it’s one day only Friday
February 2nd 20124 at the wilter on
Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles don’t

to claim your spot now come experience
change this is your world so let’s vow
to make it a better
place let every heart than me to
know you love is here to stay oh it’s
time we live a new
life let us sun right in
you we sa by his grace so we Embrace
Your Love Today We Are
changeed
if you have your
Bibles go with me to the Book of
Proverbs chapter 23 verse
7 we’ve been talking about how to defeat
the Devil in your
mind and today our focus is going to be
the battle of the
mind the battle of the
mind your mind is the arena of
Faith your mind is where the battle
takes
place and the Bible says for us to be
aware that we have an
adversary who has come to kill still and
to destroy but Jesus says I’ve come that
you might have life and have it more
abundantly
ly for those of us who understand what
Jesus has done and we understand the
power of God’s
grace we are not trying to defeat the
Devil the devil has already been
defeated he is a defeated
foe we are not trying to get the
victory Jesus has already obtained the
victory for us our job is to maintain
what he has already
obtained so this is not
where you know I’m going to wake up this
morning and I am going to defeat the
Devil and get the victory no the devil
is defeated and Jesus is Lord amen the
victory has already been
obtained but we’ve got to understand
there is strategy that’s formed against
us Strate strategy to try to humiliate
and undo he can’t undo what Jesus has
done but to try to to make a mockery of
what Jesus has done to try to get us to
think that it’s not done the greatest
fear that a Believer can have is the
fear that what God promised won’t come
to pass the fear of what God has done
that he really didn’t do it and so his
job again to kill steal and to destroy
he he he wants to he wants he wants you
to be miserable in every sense of the of
the
word the way he does it is through your
mind your will your emotions your
mind is the is the center point the
resting place of your
emotions and so emotions will move you
in the directions if they’re good
emotions they’ll move you in a in a good
direction if they’re bad emotions
they’ll move you in a bad directions and
I’m telling you when you get emotional
if you don’t recognize that this is the
enemy enough to at least be
quiet the Bible says a man that can
control his tongue can’t control his
whole
body there is a daily strategy to try to
attack you in your
mind that is real that is serious and
that is something we want you to look at
today as we look at in evaluate the
battle of the mind I I subtitled this
watch out for the
landmines the first place that your
enemy will attack you is your mind your
mind is your your your your soul is what
we call it your we we’ve we have over
the years we thought the soul we use the
word Soul and Spirit interchangeably as
if they are the same you are a spirit
being you have a soul you live in a
physical body that is the tripart being
of a man the anatomy of a man you are a
spirit so when you leave your body the
real you leaves the body you are a
spirit being say out loud I am a spirit
being I am a spirit being now you
possess a soul now your soul is
interesting your soul is made up of your
mind your will see you have a choice in
everything your will you didn’t slip up
and cuss you made a decision to
cuss your mind your will and your
emotions
emotions uh and so the enemy understands
how can
I disrupt your
soul your emotions your
thinker your
feeler your
Chooser that’s where he wants to make
the impact to try to bring destruction
in your life in your thinker your Feeler
and in your
Chooser your
mind is the arena of the
Battleground for your life’s
output see nothing just happens out
here you’re your mind is the arena it’s
a battle for the
output and if he can affect
inwardly in your mind your will and
emotions he can also affect the
output and so the battle’s not won once
he gets out here you cutting somebody
ain’t winning no
battle the battle has already been won
and you got to maintain that up here up
here he’s gonna tell you it has
not and up here is where you got to over
and over again said I already have the
victory I already am righteous I already
am delivered I already have wisdom I
believe what this is what it is it is it
is believing that even when you’re
looking at something that contradicts
that you’ve got to know how to play this
chess game in a sense and it’s it’s up
here you’ll hear things that’ll move you
emotionally hear things that’ll anger
you hear things that’ll hurt you hear
all these kind of things and you’ve got
to understand
that is an attack that has been launched
against you that’s where it
starts the fear that starts when you go
to a doctor’s office and they got bad
news and and they tell you the bad news
cuz this is what they saw this is what
they diagnosed and everything about you
wants to settle for that except you know
something in here that he’s trying to
change that if you’ll keep it it’ll
change the
output oh my
God but if he can stress you in here and
that stress begins to
transform into the physical body and
into your emotions and into all of the
outputs that come from what he can cause
you that’s the battle that’s the battle
and so you will lose or win in life
based on how you handle and fight in the
battle of your mind you will win or lose
in life based on the how you handle and
fight in the battle of your mind please
remember it ladies and Gentlemen please
remember nothing just happens what’s
already on the outside look at the
outputs you have already all of those
outputs came as a result of the battle
in the mind
now so let’s go through it I’m going to
give you the warnings of some
landmines some things you need to pay
attention to and right here he says in
Proverbs 23 and7 he says for as he
thinketh then in his heart so is he eat
and
drink uh eat and drink
saith uh eat and drink saith he to thee
but his heart is not with thee so as a
man
thinketh that’s what’s going to be in
his heart your heart makeup is going to
be made up of what you’ve been thinking
so the question is what have you been
thinking what have you been thinking all
the time every day
often what have you been
thinking that now becomes a part of your
heart now once it gets in your
heart that’s where that’s the Chute if
you will that releases it in the output
into life let me show you this next
scripture look at uh Proverbs 423 in the
NLT Proverbs 423 in the
NLT he says to guard your
heart Above All
Else guard your heart before in in
essence your heart is the soil that’ll
grow things just like you have soil and
you can put seed in the soil and it’ll
grow food your heart is is is the soil
that grows the output your heart is the
soil that grows
life
H guard your heart therefore above
everything else that’s a pretty powerful
statement above everything else put a
guard over your heart now how are you
going to guard your heart you’re going
to have to guard your heart by
discovering the the entrances into your
heart how many different ways into a
man’s heart well there are three through
the ear gate what you hear deposits seed
into your heart through the eye gate
what you see will deposit seed into your
heart through the mouth gate A lot of
times what you say if it’s not lining up
properly will deposit seeds into your
heart once it’s in your heart it has a
potential to grow and produce life he
says guard your heart above all else for
it determines the course of your
life guard your heart above everything
else because it determines the course of
your life next
verse now notice what he says here verse
24 we’re going to keep reading he says
avoid all perverse
talk stay away from corrupt speech what
is he saying a gate a gate stuff that’s
coming through these Gates go to the
next verse look straight ahead and fix
your eyes on what lies before there’s
the third gate there’s the gate we we as
humans in
society people outside of Christ they
don’t think about stuff like this
they’re just wondering how come that
happened and look who gets the blame how
come God let that happen there’s a devil
loose we we we we think no big deal and
it’s a big deal every day eye gate ear
gate what comes out of your mouth he
said fix your eyes on what lies before
you next verse Mark out a straight path
for your feet stay on the safe path
stay on the saith path don’t get
sidetracked keep your feet from
following evil what is it saying all of
the stuff that comes through those three
gates and they get into your heart will
eventually get into your feet and you’ll
start going that
way oh my goodness you’re start going
that way so what are you to do with this
information I’m giving you right
now what are you to do with it with this
information you can you should be able
to change your
outputs you should be able to change
your outputs now of course you’re going
to need God’s help of course you’re
going to always need God’s help but at
least you’re understanding the anatomy
the makeup and the system by which the
strategies of the enemy are being formed
and formulated against you to try to
take you down but what he really wants
you to do is to not be believe
it ignore what your ears your eyes your
mouth ignore your heart ignore the
different paths and just think this is
my life I’m going to live it the way I
want to live it you know what you are a
free moral agent which means you can
make a choice and you can live it any
way you want to live it you can frankly
do anything you decide to do but it may
not be good for you amen
are are you listening to me
now so that’s a landmine you need to be
aware
of we got to start thinking about what
we’re thinking
about when was the last time you sat
down and you started thinking about what
you’re thinking
about think about what I’m saying right
now when was the last time you sat down
and started thinking about what you’ve
been thinking
about and that’s my question what have
you been thinking about whatever you
focus on the
most that has the most power and
strength to determine your
output so what have you been spending
most of your thought life
with somebody says well that’s where an
addiction comes from of course
is whatever you spend your time doing
the most thinking the most watching the
most that’s what you end up
doing this is what this is how life
works and God knew it because he created
us let’s look at this second mind land
M
what are your ears exposed
to look at Mark
4 verse 21-2 in the NLT
Mark 4: 211-2 in the
NLT I I you know I I was all I’ve always
tried to well there’s got to be some
balance in
this and this is the reason why I
believe God had me to teach on this
battle before I I’ve got like three more
messages in in that yearlong series on
Grace and the next one is about Christ
the preeminent one and preeminent means
no one or nothing holds a greater value
and position than
Jesus watch this verse 21 through 24 I
think I said then Jesus asked them would
anyone light a lamp and then put it
under a basket or under the bed of
course not a lamp is placed on a stand
where it light will
shine for everything that is hidden will
eventually be brought into the
open and every secret will be brought to
light anyone with ears to hear should
listen and
understand then he added pay close
attention to what you
hear the closer you
listen the more understanding you will
be given and you will receive even more
now that that’s what that before I read
verse 25 that’s when anything especially
you single people who go on a date pay
close attention to what you listening
to because that person will tell you
everything about
themselves well I don’t understand why I
keep drawing the same kind of no good
for n man because you keep ignoring
what’s being revealed at the very
beginning you’re not paying attention to
the things that are listen somebody told
me one time if somebody tells you they
are a fool believe
them but you s up there you’re just so
you’re just so oh my God look at look at
her beautiful hair oh wow look at his
eyes and you you ain’t listening you not
paying
attention somebody said is that the
devil I don’t know it might be getting
your attention off paying attention you
not hearing the man telling you I’m a
fool and you like ooh my baby going to
have nice hat look at that
hell he said there’s something about
paying close
attention to
people to where you’re going pay close
attention then he said verse 25 to those
who listen to my teaching more
understanding will be given but for
those who are not listening even what
little they under little understanding
they have will be taken away from them
there is something Supernatural that’s
happening right now as you’re seated
here listening to what Jesus has to say
he’s going to give you more some of you
going some of you probably getting more
while I’m talking but when you leave
here and you listen closely you you
you’re going to get more you’re going to
understand more you’re going to see some
some illustrations in your life because
of how you’re listening and that’s what
we got to do as Christians we got to we
we’ve got to get to a point where we
want to listen to God’s word
let’s listen to God’s word so I can hear
it so I can see what’s going on yes I
love inspiration yes I love shouting and
dancing and and lifting hands and
talking in tongues and having a fit I
love all of that as long as you don’t
turn nothing in church I love every bit
of
that but then there comes a time when
you got to listen if you going to do all
of that and when the time comes to
listen you nodding dude you you’re not
you you’re not you’re not listening
carefully you you you probably see the
Holy Ghost right now cuz you’re nodding
just so quick you don’t know what’s
going
on there is a power that is invested in
the person who’s careful how they hear
and how they listen and the enemy knows
that and he’s he’s hoping you don’t
listen because it’s amazing how when you
don’t listen to God’s word how open and
available you make your attention to the
things that are not God ain’t it amazing
you try to teach your kids something but
let them hear somebody cuss on TV
they’ll remember that quicker than
anything and your kids be coming around
just saying that same cussing word blank
blank blank be like baby where you get
that
from and some in them know something
wrong with
it this is the battle this is the battle
that still goes on
today now this is a big one here
Colossians chapter
2 verse 8 and N in the
NLT Colossians chapter 2 in fact let’s
let’s start at verse 6 let’s read verse
6 7 8 and N in
NLT number three here’s a landmine
Beware of the philosophy of
men let’s define philosophy this is
where we left off last week philosophy
is a theory or attitude held by a person
or
organization that acts as a guiding
principle for
Behavior a theory or an attitude held by
a person or an
organization that acts as a guiding
principle for
Behavior so it’s a theory it’s an
attitude that a person or an
organization came up with doesn’t have
to be truth but this is what they
decided to use as a guiding principle
for how they
behave now listen to what the Bible says
about this you you just don’t want to
adopt somebody’s principle it’s like the
norms and values of the world the norms
and values of society says if a whole
bunch of people of society think this is
right then it’s right because all these
people think it’s right those are the
Norms in values of society Society gets
together and they take a survey and they
say I don’t think nothing wrong with
this I think that’s fine and then now
it’s right not because it’s really right
it’s right because the norms and values
of of society has set this as being
something that’s right and then you
adapt it and then when if you’re not
here when they did that then Generations
down the line it it becomes like a norm
of course nothing’s wrong with that of
course that’s right and that’s why the
Bible says there’s coming a time where
people will call the things that are
wrong right and then they’ll call the
things right wrong I think we’re already
there on that one aren’t
