Mind over Matter

1 Peter 1:13 Prepare your mind for action....
What does that mean? How do you prepare your mind for action?
When I read those words I knew God was showing me something very important, but I couldn't grasp what HE was speaking. I prayed and meditated.
Hmmmmmmm.....Got it!!!
HE gave me a picture of a warrior in a quiet place. The warrior sat still, but in his eyes there was an intensity that flowed from him like electricity. If the battlefield is in the mind then the preparations must take place there as well. God was telling me I needed to still my body and envision the entire battle in my mind and fight it there. I picture the things I fight against which are not of flesh and blood and I see the victory I already have in Christ.
I opened my eyes and realized that the battle I haven't even fought yet has the same result as every other battle I'll fight for the rest of my life...VICTORY!!! If we fight in our minds against these things it'll manifest in reality. Envision your victory and then speak it into existence. We serve the God who calls things that aren't as though they were and we have the same ability.
Diseases meet HEALING
Weaknesses meet STRENGTH
Death meets EVERLASTING LIFE
I don't know about you, but I can't stand being weak in my walk with God. I need another level to get me closer to HIM and what HE wants to do on this earth. And it's funny because every time I focus on my problems God always reminds me it's not about me it's about others. You know what? I see people everyday dying slow enough for me to do something about it, but I'm slow to action. My challenge to myself and to you is to prepare your mind for action like the word of God says, and then ACT!!!
