Series: In Depth
I present my body, emotions and my mind to you and you alone Father God. When I choose your Word over my own thoughts and feelings, my mind is renovated and renewed. I say no to unhealthy thoughts and receive mental health in Jesus Name. Rom 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.   Father you gave me the power to be self-disciplined. You did not give me the spirit of fear but the spirit of POWER, the spirit of LOVE and a sound mind. 2 Tim 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.   Father you are my mental rest. My mind and emotions gain strength when I am in your presence. I will take time with you today and you will give me rest. Matt 11:28-29 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.   This is a spiritual battle so I will fight it your way. Through you I can control my thoughts. I cast down any imaginations that are not from you by thinking and using my imagination to meditate on you and what your Word says about me. I take every thought captive by thinking and saying what your Word says. 2 Cor 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)5 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;   I cast the care and weight of this thing on you because you care for me and you carried this mental burden for me on the cross so I could be free. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.   You gave me your peace. I accept that peace now. I will not let anything steal my peace. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.   I RE-JOY in you. I am thankful that you are near whither I feel it or not. I will not be anxious about anything because I am talking to you about everything! I am thankful for all you have done and are doing in my life. Your peace guards my heart and my mind. I get to choose my thoughts and I choose what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and worthy of praise. I will do what I know to do from your Word and your peace will be with me. Phil 4:4-9 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me — put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.   I have the mindset of Christ because I HOLD His thoughts and refuse any others. 1 Cor 2:16 But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.   I will set an atmosphere of praise so I can have an atmosphere of hope.  Ps 42:11 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

    1/21/24 – Where Do I Need To Grow Up? Pt 3 – Susan Allen
    Where Do I Need To GROW UP? Part 3 & Review 1/21/24   Review week 1: KNOWLEDGE without APPLICATION is FOOLISH (James 1) R.Renner “Knowledge without application becomes boring and unfulfilling --every time” 1 Peter 2:1-, Heb 5:11-, 1 Cor 3:1-, Maturity: The ability to respond to the environment in an appropriate manner. This includes the ability to control emotions, act responsibly and consider the well-being of oneself and others. The ability to make well informed decisions. Review week 2 carnal or spiritual: Eph 4:10-, 1 Cor 3:1-3, Romans 8:6 Spiritual: non carnal, to live a life guided by the born again spirit. Regenerate (regrow-the ability to regrow new tissue to replace lost or injured tissue. To bring new, more vigorous life to something through something new. Reborn) Carnal: fleshly, un-regenerate, not changed, a life driven by the flesh Make two columns. One labeled Carnal, One labeled spiritual. God through these verses and put the “indicators” of carnal and spiritual into the correct column. Carnal: not growing, tossed (controlled by outward circumstances), easily deceived, imitate the life of unbelievers, unfruitful thinking, darkened understanding, separated Kingdom living, chosen ignorance, hardened heart, lost sensitivity, indulging in impurity, driven by lust, overriding convictions, holds on to old self, refuses strong Word, envy, strife, division, slow to learn, no understanding of righteousness, do not practice the Word they have heard, can’t distinguish good from evil,   Spiritual: growing, anchored in sound doctrine, speaks the truth in love, unity, active in the body of believers, imitates God, productive thinking, sees to be enlightened in the truth, partakers of Zoe life (God kind of life), pliable/teachable heart, sensitive to spirit, overrides the flesh, seeks to hear sound teaching, puts off old self, puts on new self, determined to mature, willing to take strong Word, able to teach (share), has an understanding of righteousness, practice the Word they’ve heard, can distinguish good from evil,           Where Do I Need To GROW UP? Part 3 What am I “MIND”ing? 1/21/24 Eph 5:1 Be followers of God as dear children Eph 5:8-NIV For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14 for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." 15 Be very careful, then, how you live — not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.   Rom 8:1-KJV There is therefore now no condemnation (adverse sentence, verdict) to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (live, occupy oneself with), but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned (judged against) sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh (as a companion or votary), but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind (have their minds set on) the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit (have their minds set on) the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity (in opposition, hostile) against God: for it is not subject (submitted, responsive)  to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (the carnal mind can’t be if you are minding/submitted to the flesh)8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (be agreeable)9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead (powerless) because of sin; but the Spirit is life (zoe) because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken (vitalize, make alive) your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.   12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify (kill) the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.   Walking in the flesh you will see your weaknesses but walking in the spirit you will see His strength The flesh does not like correction or direction Prov 15:31-33 He who listens to a life-giving rebuke will be at home among the wise. 32 He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding. 33 The fear of the Lord teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor. Prov 10:17 He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray. Prov 12:1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid. Prov 13:18 He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored. Prov 15:12 A mocker resents correction; he will not consult the wise.   Do I know/understand what the WILL OF THE LORD is? then What am I “MINDING”?

    Where Do I Need to Grow Up? Part 2 Spiritual or Carnal? 1/14/24 susan allen Last week: 1 Peter 2:1-, Heb 5:11-, 1 Cor 3:1- “Knowledge without application becomes boring and unfulfilling – every time.” Rick Renner   MAKE TWO COLUMNS:      SPIRITUAL                            CARNAL   Eph 4:10-NIV  He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) 11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. 17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because sof the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more. 20 You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. 21 Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.   1 Cor 3:1 KJV And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. ¶ 3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?   Spiritual:non carnal, is to live a life guided by the born-again spirit,                regenerate REGENERATED-REGROW, speaks of a living organism that can REGROW new TISSUE to REPLACE lost or injured tissue! To bring new and more vigorous life to something through something NEW. Reborn.   CARNAL: fleshly, unregenerate, not changed- a life driven by the flesh   Mankind was made to thrive in maturing. In the maturing in our CHRISTIANITY many retire at birth. Then they wait to die.   Our Spiritual/Carnal Columns: Carnal: tossed, easily deceived, imitate the life of unbelievers, unfruitful thinking, darkened understanding, separated from the zoe life, chosen ignorance, hardened heart, lost sensitivity, indulging in impurity, driven by lust, overrides convictions, holds on to old self, refuses the strong Word, envy, strife, division, Spiritual: growing in Christ, anchored in sound doctrine, speaks the truth in love, unity, active in the body of believers, imitates God, productive thinking, seek to be enlightened in the truth, partakers of Zoe, pliable/teachable heart, sensitive, override the flesh, seek to hear the teaching of truth, put off old self, put on new self, determined to mature, willingly take strong Word   WHERE DO I NEED TO GROW UP? WHERE DO I WANT TO GROW UP?   Rom 8:6 KJV For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

    Healing Scriptures 1 Peter 2:24 He personally bore my sins in His [own] body on the tree m [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that I might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds I have been healed. (I HAVE BEEN healed) Isa 53:4-5 Surely my sicknesses he hath borne, And my pains — he hath carried them, And we — we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted.5 And he is pierced for my transgressions, Bruised for my iniquities, The chastisement of my peace [is] on him, And by his bruise there is healing to me. (HE carried it! I don’t have to…I WON’T)     Mal 4:2 But unto those who revere and worshipfully fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings and His beams, and you shall go forth and gambol like calves [released] from the stall and leap for joy. (He makes me ALIVE, active and FULL of energy)                      Ex 23:25 And I shall serve the Lord my God, and he shall bless my bread, and my water; and He will take sickness away from the midst of me. (HE TAKES sickness from me) 3 John 2 I prosper and I am in health, even as my soul prospereth. (I will do what prospers my soul and health will follow)   Isa 58:6-8 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rearward. ( I do the works of Christ and my health SPRINGS FORTH SPEEDILY)    Prov 16:24 My Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to my bones. (I will speak pleasant words and they are health to my bones and to my mind) Prov 4:20-23 I attend to His words; I incline my ear unto His sayings. I do not let them depart from my eyes; I keep them in the midst of my heart. For they are life unto me, and health to all my flesh.  I Keep my heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of my life. (HIS WORDS ARE LIFE TO ME AND HEALTH TO EVERY CELL OF MY BODY)         Prov 3:7-8 I will not be wise in mine own eyes: I fear the Lord, and depart from evil.8 It shall be health to my navel, and marrow to my bones. (THE FEAR & AWE OF THE LORD, IT BRINGS HEALTH to my VERY CORE and to the MARROW of my BONES)     Ps 43:5  Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. (HE IS MY HEALTH and it is evident)          Ps 107:20-21 He sent His word and healed me, And delivered me from my destructions.  Oh, that men would give thanks to my Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! (HE HEALED ME with HIS WORD so I make known His goodness and wonderful works with my words) Luke 4:18-21  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.( I AM FREE)   Deut 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: (I CHOOSE LIFE) Prov 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. (I SPEAK LIFE)

    1/7/24 – Where Do I Need To Grow Up? – Susan Allen
    Where Do I Need To GROW UP? 1/7/24 susan allen   We can measure our spiritual maturity in different areas of our lives by our response   KNOWLEDGE without APPLICATION is FOOLISH (James 1) RRenner “Knowledge without application becomes boring and unfulfilling --every time The mature TAKE knowledge and PUT it to work in their lives… 1 Peter 2:1 NIV Therefore, (chpt 1 calls us to a life of holiness) rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. 2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, 3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. 4 As you come to him, the living Stone — rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (see Romans 12:1-)   Heb 5:11-NIV We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. 6:1 Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, 2 instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting, we will do so.   What is the difference between Milk and solid food? WHAT IS THE BENEFIT of solid food over an all milk diet? There is a healthy transition from milk to meat   1 Cor 3:1 NIV Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly — mere infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men? 4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere men? AMP: 1 HOWEVER, BRETHREN, I could not talk to you as to spiritual [men], but as to nonspiritual [men of the flesh, in whom the carnal nature predominates], as to mere infants [in the new life] in Christ 2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not yet strong enough [to be ready for it]; but even yet you are not strong enough [to be ready for it], 3 For you are still [unspiritual, having the nature] of the flesh [under the control of ordinary impulses]. For as long as [there are] envying and jealousy and wrangling and factions among you, are you not unspiritual and of the flesh, behaving yourselves after a human standard and like mere (unchanged) men?   Titus 2 calls out the aged to be mature example setters, a pattern to live by and teachers of beautiful/good things   Maturity: Maturity can be defined as the ability to respond to the environment in an appropriate manner. This includes the ability to control emotions, act responsibly, and consider the well-being of oneself and others. The ability to make well informed decisions.   We can measure our spiritual maturity in different areas of our lives by our response. Where do I need to grow up?
