The quest of finding the one and only living God, is reaching new heights across the world. More and more books are being published containing different speculations. People are asking questions about the reality and whereabouts of God. Can the true Church manifest the real answer?
What seems to be a priority at this junction, is for man to go back to his own genesis or beginning – having been created in the image and likeness of God. And in order to do this accurately, even we as believers have to throw off all false identities and layers that have been put onto us by others. Each one of us has to become authentic – who I AM! As a man thinks in his heart, so is he! (Prov 23:7).

The renewal of the mind is not just learning new concepts or principles, or changing terminology. Paul says in Eph. 4:23, “Be renewed in the spirit of your mind.”

The brain is where there are a hundred billion connections between cells (synapsis). It is here where mindsets are formed, and when that happens, it blocks you from receiving new insight. Paul suggested a way to deal with such mindsets. We aredestroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5). It comes by impartation, sometimes by repeated impartation.

The detail in the story of Jacob at the ford of the Jabbok is important, because in the detail are the clues to the reality of what is going on around us. This world is not alone; someone is in charge even though it seems to be in a mess. There is more to life than what you see and touch and feel. There is more than one camp in this room.

When the apostle Paul said, “Be renewed in the spirit of your minds” (Ephes 4:23), he touched a fundamental principle that needs a lot more attention in the times we live. The spirit of the mind has more to do with our sub-conscious mind. How often does the average Christian switch off the TV, the radio, the phone and just get in touch with his/her inner person?

There is an operational system (mindset) behind the activity of every human government or organization on earth. This is also true for churches. For most churches it is about soul winning or church growth. While that is important, what should the primary objective be? What was the driving force behind the ministry of Jesus? Jesus did not come only to preach, He came to manifest the name of His Father. “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world” (John 17:6). We have to be faithful to the mandate God has given us. “As the Father sent Me, so send I you…”
