The battle is for your mind - choose to win

     Excellent video from King & Hotchkin: "You are WAY more powerful than you realize. Win the battle for your mind, will and emotions."
     Every "fact" that doesn't line up with God's word is actually a lie. You are whole. You are well. 

Here are the notes:

01:27 - The battles we face are often in our soul. Evil targets our mind, will and emotions, because that's where we choose whether to believe The Word, or to believe our temporary circumstances. When we learn how to always live from that place of victory, which is his word and his truth, there is no battle that we loose. 

02:05 - Life messages come from tests - especially those tests where you go deep in Him and his word comes forward and you grab it, and it becomes flesh in you through the testing.

02:33 - I (Robert) had a dozen years of health challenges nobody could figure out. But God taught me how to look past the "light momentary affliction" that doesn't feel momentary...the now that is real, but it's not more real than his eternal truth. If we're willing to win the battle for mind-blowing emotions, and know his truth, choose his truth, and declare it, then we win the battle and get the victory manifested in our lives; and we get authority in these areas -- we're not only winning the battle for ourselves -- we're winning the battle to have more authority for the kingdom in the earth.

03:49 - If you are in battles right now, don't feel bad about feeling bad, because it makes you feel terrible when you feel like you're failing. Even Jesus felt that way when he was in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was "grieved and distressed". He said to Peter, James and John "my soul (which is the mind, will and emotions) is deeply grieved to the point of death." He was a man who had feelings just like we do; but he aligned his soul with God's purpose and plan in the midst of feeling distress. When you go through a battle you will feel the distress, but you make the choice, acknowledge the fact of the illness but live in that eternal truth -- your will be done. God I stand on your truth, because you say by the stripes of Jesus I am healed.

06:15 -- When we stand on truth, when we're willing to let Holy Spirit teach us how to win the battle for the mind, will and emotions, we come to realize how much power we have, because we're coming into agreement with God's Word. In the midst of battle, I felt I was completely ineffective. I had to take a six-month health sabbatical that lasted three years, and I felt my prayers weren't working. I'm having no impact. I'm out of my calling.
     But God met me there, in the midst of self-pity, and he showed me "you're not watching over your soul right now, you're not winning the battle for your mind will and emotions, you've given place to self-pity. I want to set you free from that." And He did not beat me up or condemn me.
     Instead, he showed me that every prayer I prayed worked. Every prayer had impact - and I said God what do you mean - and he showed me, I walked into heaven with him, and all these people came up to me and said "Oh Robert thank you for the healing miracle you ministered to me" and I looked at Jesus and said who are these people I don't recognize any of them? He said "every time you declared I am the Lord who heals, healing went forth into the earth."

07:34 - Whatever battle you are in, stand on the Word of God. Evil lies to you. Evil attacks your soul because it wants you to choose to agree with your temporary circumstances as opposed to eternal truth. Then evil can devour you.  Also, evil doesn't want you to realize the impact and the power you have to release the kingdom into the earth. Jesus won that battle for us. Say "I am going to trust God, in the midst of this challenge, that you are accomplishing something with every step." The enemy lies to us and says "look at me I'm winning." No. He is defeated. And when we agree with truth, we are establishing that truth in our life, and we're establishing it in the earth. You are so powerful, and you have so much impact for the kingdom, why don't you pray right now? When the word goes out it's a creative word and it produces miracles.

11:10 - The Lord wants you to align your mind with his thoughts. Start saying "oh I'm in such a victory right now. I am in such a good place right now because God is at work and miracles are
happening." Align your thinking with the Word of God. Evil attacks the mind and connects with the emotions, to produce a choice for you, to knock you off of God's truth. All of heaven is available to you right here, right now, through the finished work of the Cross. God has given you everything. The challenge is, it doesn't always look and feel that way, but you get to decide what you believe. And what you believe is what you'll see. This is the battle. It's the battle for your mind, will and emotions. You choose who to believe.

13:53 -- The first place the devil attacks is he puts temptations in the mind, things that are not true, and oh they can be so subtle. When we get that in our mind, our emotions start to feel it, and that's when it seems real. Once the mind gets the thoughts, and the emotions are feeling it, then the will starts making a decision to it, and once that decision is made, it starts activating inside of our body. Ultimately every attack of the enemy is going to be an attack on the soul because he wants us to choose. The soul is the place where we make decisions. He wants us to decide the Word of God isn't true, or it's not true for us, or we're not going to see the promise.           Romans 1:25 says the the challenge they had was they exchanged the truth of God for a lie. The challenge we have is to always remember that God's Word is true period, and eternal truth always trump's temporary facts. Temporary facts change. Facts change. Truth doesn't change.
The enemy wants us to believe whatever we're facing in the moment is our truth, so we make the decision to come out of agreement with God.

18:12 - Imagine if every Christian stood strong in the Word of God no matter what was happening around them, no matter what it looked like that was contrary to the word. It would bring forth the power and the glory and the kingdom of God. Even if for a season it looks like it's not manifesting, the Word is truth, but you have to take that truth and make it your own, because whatever you believe in your soul is what you are going to attract and what is going to materialize. Stand on and voice activate it until your mind is full of those thoughts, until your emotions are feeling it, until it is so secure and you've chosen it above anything else that you would see and a miracle shift will take place.

21:21 - If we get blessed with a battle that's bigger and longer than we expected, that doesn't mean the devil's winning. It means we're taking more territory in the spirit and we're laying a bigger foundation than we realize. When we get that perspective in our soul and we go from being discouraged about how things have been to really encouraged and excited about what it's going to be, and we declare from that place, we make decrees from that place, we have the power Holy Spirit gives us the power to make that shift and you'll feel it.

22:05 - One day when I was really really sick, I was really discouraged and the Lord fairly sternly said "I want you to thank me for the health and strength in your body right now." It's voice-activated. So I started declaring "thank you for the health and strength in my body right now, thank you that I have the strength to get out of bed, I have the strength to walk to my chair, I have breath in my lungs, hey lord thank you that I can make these prayers right now." Everything shifted. I actually felt strength come into me. But I had to choose to follow his leading. 

24:42 - You are made for victory and you have the victory. Stand in that place of victory, and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to live in that victory, and win the battle for your mind, will and emotions. Winning the battle for your mind will and emotions unlocks the divine power within you, power to live in victory, change your life, and even make the world a better place is available to you, right here right now, through the finished work of the cross. God has given you everything. The challenge is, it doesn't always look and feel that way, but you get to decide what you believe and what you believe is what you'll see, and what you're walk in. The key is that your soul is aligned your mind your will and your emotions to the truth of God's Word .
