See also <H1049> (Beyth Tsuwr).[4]
Three kinds of blessings that are God’s will:
1) Spiritual, 1 Thess. 5:23; Eph. 1:3
2) Soulish ( mind ), Rom. 12:2; Col. 3:1-3
3) Physical ( body ), III Jn. 2; 1 Thess. 5:23
In the previous message the focus was on the body as we looked at principles that help us to maximize our potential in the earth as it relates to the physical man. Today’s message looks at scriptures revealing God’s dealings with our minds, and in particular, our attitude towards Him, our need for a savior, sin, ourselves, our neighbor, our enemy, the devil, Satan, the deceiver of men, renewing our thinking to His plans and purposes in this life. Our attitudes towards God is the primary thing even above secular education, because education without God results in some very smart people with no moral compass and we already see what the consequences of that is, but primarily God’s Word focuses on our attitude towards Him.
Colossians 3:1–3 (KJV)
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Romans 12:2 (KJV)
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.
Ephesians 4:22–24 (KJV)
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
We also know that the Word of God reveals so much more concerning spiritual warfare, Eph. 6:10-18; 2 Cor. 10:3-5; How to be saved, Rom. 10: 9, 10; Jn. 3:16; The revelation of heaven and hell, Lk. 16: 19-31; Rev. 21: 1-4; God’s Word reveals the human nature, Rom. 7: 18-25; One thing is for sure, whatever you think, means everything, because our minds are powerful and the battleground where spiritual warfare is waged determining whether the outcome be the mirror of God’s blueprint for our lives.
Proverbs 23:6–7 (KJV)
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,
Neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:
Eat and drink, saith he to thee;
But his heart is not with thee.
Matthew 12:33–37 (KJV)
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
What we believe is key to our faith and the mind is where we fight the good fight of faith casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. It’s also where doubt and unbelief comes in and will derail our faith if we allow that doubt and unbelief to get into our hearts, Mark 11:21–24 (KJV):
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.
The battle for the mind is ground zero in this faith fight, Ephesians 6:10–18 (KJV):
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 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. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
Hebrews 4:14 (KJV)
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
Hebrews 10:23 (KJV)
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;).
Hebrews 4:14 and 10:23 commands Christians to hold fast to the profession of their faith and the reason why is because of the finished work of Christ, Heb. 4:14, and because our God will do what He said He would. He’s a BIG God, as revealed in our text, which is the heart of our faith. We don’t have faith in what we don’t believe in. We don’t praise what we don’t
believe in, and we don’t worship what we don’t believe in. Our faith is the result of our strong belief in the only wise and true God, Is. 26:4 calls Him the “Lord Jehovah.”

OUTLINE FOR BIBLE STUDY MONDAY, 11-16-26
“THE LAST DAYS,”
MATT. 24:1-14 (KJV)
Matthew 24:1-14 (KJV)
24 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
CULTS AND OCCULTS
Matt. 24: 4, 5 (KJV): “…Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” There is presently an explosion of cults and occults, Matthew 24:24 (KJV): 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Counterfeit spirituality in the form of cults and occults, false Christs, psychic phenomena, spiritism, Satanism, witchcraft, nature worship, and the like are all a part of this end-time generation, 1 Timothy 4:1 (KJV): Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.
WARS, RUMORS OF WARS, NATION AGAINST NATION, KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM
Matt. 24:6-8 (KJV): And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. Like birth pangs that intensify, before the Lord’s coming, we would see increased famines, violence and ethnic wars, a clear picture of present-day events. What makes these even the more significant is Israel becoming a nation again on May 14, 1948. A recent study shows a dramatic increase in worldwide earthquakes, since the decade’s of Israel’s rebirth. In the 1940’s there were 51 earthquakes above Richter 6.0; and in the 1950s, 475; the 1980s, 1,085; and in the 1990s 1,540.
PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS
Matt. 24: 9, 10 (KJV): Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Thousands of years ago, Old Testament prophets foretold the scattering of the Jews among the nations of the world. Moses wrote: Deuteronomy 28:64–66 (KJV): 64 And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. 65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: 66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life. History testifies to the fulfillment of this prophecy. The Jews have been slaughtered by the millions during these past 2,000 years. Only recently the world witnessed the extermination of 6,000,000 Jews under Adolf Hitler. Jews were ordered out of England and Wales in 1290, from Paris and other parts of France in 1306, from the Rhineland in 1348, from Hungary in 1349, from southern France in 1394, from Spain in 1492, and from Portugal in 1497. Yet the Old Testament abounds in prophecies that at some future date, once again the Jews would return to their ancient homeland and, once again, would possess Jerusalem, Ezekiel 37:21–22 (KJV): 21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: 22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
LABOR ISSUES
Matt. 24:11-14 (KJV): 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. In the book of James there also seems to be an alluding to of labor issues in the end times, James 5:1-8 (KJV):
5 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
