LIBERATING THE MIND
OLUBI JOHNSON
Psalms 119:130 (KJV)
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
The mind is the part of our soul that receives, processes and releases information to the will and emotions, which in turn trigger our actions (Prov. 23:7).
The more information we can mentally receive, the faster we can process it, and apply it to do innovative and creative things, the more developed our minds are.
In the same way, a mind fully enlightened with God’s life can quickly ‘scan’ any information that comes to it, store it accurately, process it and recall it for application, with great speed, innovation and creativity!
Contrastly, when the mind is darkened because of the absence or very low intensity of the light of the life of God, the mind’s ability to receive, process and apply knowledge is severely impaired.
Before the fall of man, Adam’s mental capacity could name all the animals with perfect recall; this was a wonderful mental feat considering the large number of animals; mammals, birds, insects and so on, that God had created (Gen 2:19).
To give us some insight into the infinite mental ability of God’s mind, the scripture tells us, He numbers the stars and calls them each by name! There are billions and billions of stars that form the galaxies and the physical universe (Ps. 147:4).
It is this ability of the mind of God that is available to us in Christ (1Cor. 2:16).
A very good example of men who allowed God’s life to liberate their minds, and give them wonderfully efficient mental capacities are Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (Dan. 1:4, 17, 20, 5:14).
This new liberty of mind in the Church will give innovative wisdom in all areas of human endeavor, causing the Church to be truly head and not tail, and experience a level of prosperity that has never been seen before (Prov. 8:20-21, Isa. 45:3).
In this scripture (Dt. 28:12-13), in the manifold wisdom of God, the ‘open heavens’ symbolizes the free flow of God’s power from the third heavens (2Cor. 12:1), through the second and first heavens to us here on earth without any demonic force being able to hinder the flow (Dan. 10:12-13).
Also the ‘land’ is symbolic of the human heart (Mk. 4:13-20) and in particular the mind, receiving the ‘rain,’ which is symbolic of the light of the teaching of God’s Word (Dt. 32:2).
So let us continue to liberate our minds by the flow of the consistently increasing measures of the life of God into our minds by the blood (Heb. 13:20-21), the Word (1Jn. 2:5) and the Spirit (2Cor. 3:17), as the flood waters of the Spirit without measure continue to rise, taking us above the mountains of the distorted, demonic, wisdom of this world.
