Whatever has control of your mind has control of your soul

Do you know that you are a part of Christ and you have been called out of the darkness and have been commissioned to open the eyes of those that the god of this world has blinded, your commissioned to be an unstoppable force that changes those around you, to preach the gospel that is dedicated to leading souls to glory. Therefore as a part of Christ you must possess a certain character in order to effectively carry out what God had in mind for you. You are a part of “The Church in the World”. The first thing you must understand is it’s the church “IN” the world and not “OF” look at what this actually means.

EXAMPLE: In your home you have electricity. The electricity is in your house, but it is not of the house. It is a different entity from the house and the source of its power is from outside of the house, but because of its character it effects what is done in the house. That is how you are in the world that is how it is to be and is what God had in mind for you. You are in the world, but not of the world, you’re a different entity from the world, but because of (The Holy Spirit Living in You) the spirit of God affects the world and what is done in it.

WATCH THIS: The world spoken of here is not what you think of as the earth. It is not just the dirt which consists of many elements and minerals. The world is the influential principalities and powers which govern the mental capacity of mankind.

Understand whoever or whatever has control of your mind has control of your soul. That is why the Bible says in Eph 6:12 “For you 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]”. These principalities, power, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness are the influential worldly characteristics that try to control your mind and are capable of controlling your soul.

The Holy Spirit is in you and you are in the world, your apart of the influential Power that is to be EFFECTIVE in the world. It is the power to bring about a Christ like result. The way you are effective in the world is by your character. Remember character is that distinguishing trait that separates you from everyone else. You “IN” the world must possess certain Christ like character traits in order to be effective. You must be a light in the world. The purpose of light is to illuminate Jesus. The Bible says in Phil 2:15 “That you are to be blameless and harmless, a child of Gods, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse world, among whom you shine as a light in the world”. Therefore, you in the world must be a light. So it doesn’t matter how spectacular you are building yourself up, if the people around you are not being lights shining in this dark world then you are not being effective and therefore you are not operating in what God had in mind for you.

You must stand in the world against what the devil is trying to do. Understand that the devil wants control of your mind. You must possess the Christ like character to stand against the things he is doing to try to get control of your mind.
