The Battleground of the Mind
2 Corinthians 11:1-3
“I Would that you would bear with me in a little foolishness: but indeed you do bear with me. For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be led astray (corrupted) from the simplicity and the purity of devotion that is toward Christ.”
Boundaries must be considered, we have thought that boundaries are bondage but they are actually freedom.
The bondages of religious rules say you must perform this way or that, but, the freedom and liberty of God’s grace that is upon you says that you of have boundaries that say I will not cross those boundaries and let my mind be led astray by the evil one from my purity of devotion to Christ Jesus.
Holy matrimony, the marriage covenant is a likeness of our relationship with Jesus.
We must not give ourselves away to others and the Ecclesia must be strong in their covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ
When our minds are not being led astray, when they are not consumed by the lustful thoughts that Satan leads us into, then our minds are free to be like our heavenly Father.
Satan takes away our creativity from us because it is our likeness of the Father.
Our Creativity becomes locked, out by lust.
Satan wants to steal your heart away from the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Ecclesia must arise, they must awaken, they must confirm their covenant heart with Jesus Christ and set their boundaries in place so that they will be led by no one but Jesus himself!
Awaken! Oh, Ecclesia!

“I Would that you would bear with me in a little foolishness: but indeed you do bear with me.

The Church, the true Ecclesia, is the grassroots power of the believers heart and the hearts of the believers united.
The real strength of the kingdom of God is when you and I unite our hearts together.
Therefore the strength of the kingdom is not the strength of church leaders and their abilities and authorities within themselves.
The apostle is like unto a eunuch of a king and he is the preparer-protector of the bride to be.
Boundaries are the question of a covenant commitment. Boundaries are true freedom with the protection of the strength of the covenant.
There is freedom within the boundaries and there is bondage outside of the boundaries.
There is a godly jealousy a jealousy that is a protection for each of us.
All that God has done for us is threatened in our lack of boundaries.
There is an Awakening! for us in this time…

Developing A Pure Heart by Wayne C. Anderson on MP3
“The orphan spirit will cause a person to strain their lives away, trying to produce “fruit of the Spirit†never realizing that it is the Spirit’s fruit and not theirs. Fruit has to do with inheritance and not works…”
The motives of the heart are somehow directly related to any individuals happiness and joy. The Orphan spirit can greatly control the motives of the heart to the point of disaster if left unchecked and unsettled. It is no wonder that Christian disciplines take such a prominent place in the teachings, the life and the mind of the orphaned Christian.
The orphan will consider it his/her duty to exercise disciplined behavior, whereas the Child of God will find pleasure in God’s life without the bondage of sin.
The orphan spirit will cause a person to strain their lives away, trying to produce “fruit of the Spirit” never realizing that it is the Spirit’s fruit and not theirs. Fruit has to do with inheritance and not works, or “spit and polish.”
The child of God examples fruit by their inheritance because they seek the Father and not because they think it is their duty to discipline their behavior patterns. The Father disciplines our behavior and He does it much better than the orphaned child!
In other words, the orphan serves God out of duty and the weight of that duty can be so heavy that there is no motivation at all toward leaving the sin behind and walking in the love of the Father. Or the duty to serve becomes the driving force in the life of the person who yields to the commands of the orphan spirit.
The scripture tells us that there is only one thing that gives pleasure to God and that one thing is faith. “For without faith it is impossible to please Him.” That faith seeks the presence of the Lord. The orphan spirit causes a distorted focus and makes people seek good behavior instead of the presence of the Lord in their life.
The child of God is more apt to experience the pleasures of the Lord’s presence than the pleasures of sin for a season. It is a delight to wait upon the Lord and have all strength renewed and there is less time or necessity for sin. We truly must draw nearer and nearer to the Father of lights!
“Father God, I want to become more and more like You and learn to have your presence in my life at all times. I do not have the power within myself to change but You have more than enough love for me and more than enough power to transform me into living breathing representative of my heavenly Father’s love and life. I am Yours. You are my peace and my joy. All glory and power is Yours, O LORD! I know that true change comes to me when I am with You and in Your Presence. You are therefore all that I need. Fill me to overflowing with Your love and that acute present anointing! Thank you, Father, for all that You are to me and to all that call upon your name! Amen ! !”
