The Thought Patterns We Don’t Always Notice

Did you know that heaven and hell is something we can experience here on earth?

On our life on earth we are in constant battle between good and evil. We live in a world between the physical and spiritual.

It's not a matter of one or the other, but rather a spectrum between the kingdom of darkness, our earthly existence, and the kingdom of heaven.

The kingdom of darkness, led by its ruler Satan, doesn’t want you to be aware of the spirit realm - urging us to remain ignorant and chained to our programmed beliefs.

However, the kingdom of God wants you to wake up and be welcomed into His kingdom, which is the family of God.

This is a CHOICE. He will always honor that. If you truly knew who Jesus was, you’d choose His kingdom because it’s a realm of wholeness, peace, joy and a deeper connection with God.

We have the power to “escape the matrix” and experience more love, more heaven, more God.

• Escaping the Matrix means to escape the confines of societal norms and worldly illusions.
• This requires resisting temptations and influences that stray from gospel truths.

These influences often manifest in society as “grass is greener” mentality, “YOLO” mindset, pursuit of short-term gratification, and even various movements and trends which promise freedom but often divert from truth.

So how do we wake up?

- Firstly, it begins with acknowledging and reverencing God, shedding our ego and surrendering fully to His lordship, trusting in His divine manifestation and honoring Him in spirit and truth.

- Secondly, it involves a process of both physiological and spiritual repatterning, anchoring ourselves in the wisdom of God's word to guide our thoughts and actions toward alignment with truth.

• This is a process that begins to shape our thoughts and actions.

Through this journey you must dive into self-reflection and self-discovery, giving yourself permission to confront internal barriers and transcend limitations.

• What is the quality of your internal dialogue?
• What lies do you habitually feed into your mind?
• What daily habits are propelling you closer to, or farther away from, the fundamental truth?

You must identify and break free from self-defeating patterns that persist in your life.

Let go of the influences that you allow into your consciousness.

• Who are you listening to? Do you listen to voices that uplift and guide you toward truth, or do you unwittingly succumb to detrimental influences?
• Do you have a high willingness to accept change? Are you willing and able to reassess your attachments and selfish desires?

In this introspective journey, we must continue to look into our hearts and connect with Jesus.

Trusting in his divine power, we can surrender ourselves to a higher calling.

Through surrendering to His divine power, we transcend earthly limitations, paving the way for breakthroughs and revelations that align with our purpose and assignment.

PURPOSE is different than ASSIGNMENT.

Your assignment is discovered in the secret place, the manifest presence of God - transforming us on both spiritual and subconscious levels.

Your mind was designed to CHANGE. God made you this way.

He designed experience to be a changing factor.

Because you were designed to experience HIM, be transformed into His LIKENESS, to carry His kingdom where you go. After all, God did speak the world into form, and we are made in HIS image.

• Only then do we truly operate in the frequency where heaven and earth intersect, and heaven becomes a tangible reality in our daily lives.

Understanding the impact of the Word in reshaping our reality - we realize the importance of aligning our hearts with God's will, allowing His guidance to reprogram our subconscious mind toward His glory.

When we realize that the Word can physically change our reality, we view it entirely differently.

Just like the physical heart beats automatically, the unconscious mind operates autonomously, either working in our favor or against us.

Aligning our hearts with God's will, walking in the Holy Spirit, and centering our focus on Him enables our hearts to work for us, with God guiding our paths.

Jeremiah 17:9 warns of the deceitfulness of the heart, influenced by patterns formed apart from God.

Reprogramming the subconscious mind, which is filled with learned patterns—some detrimental—requires conscious effort and alignment with our conscious thoughts.

This journey involves bringing harmony between the subconscious and conscious minds, achieved by capturing every thought, as advised in 2 Corinthians 10:5.

Though challenging, this process is necessary to counter the imperfect state inherited since the Garden of Eden, where our minds were untouched by subconscious distortions.

But God equips us to manage our minds, combatting the enemy's attempts to torment us and fostering transformation.

Proverbs 23:7 highlights the power of our thoughts in shaping our reality, influencing our emotions and actions.

Thoughts alone hold no sway until beliefs solidify them, determining their impact—be it truth or falsehood.

We need to reprogram our beliefs – so that our habits, personality, ways of thinking, and reactions to life are in line with the people we desire to be, all for the glory of God.
