Freedom of The Soul





The soul is the inward part of us that is made up of three parts. Contained within the soul is our mind, will, and emotions. It controls what we think, when we act on what we think, and the level of energy our body will use to complete the acting out of the taught. To just keep it simple think of it this way, as the soul goes, so does the body. Therefore whatever effects the soul, also will effect the body. It is for this reason we as childern of God must take on the mind of Christ. Why? Because Jesus The Christ is the only one who confronted our enemy and totally got the victory over him in every situation! He has instructed his disciples ( who we are! ) to learn of him! We are to study what he did, understand why he did it, and apply it to our every day life. God's word renews our mind and frees us from the bondage of earthly thinking. The mind of Christ is truth! The truth shall set you free! Satan tries to control our soul by constantly bombarding the world with lies. Faith comes by hearing. Therefore if a lie is heard long enough it is believed to be true, thus enslaveing the believer to a lie! Our soul is going to function by either the truth or a lie. It is only by the true word of God working in our soul can our bodies act out his will for our destiny. Only a soul that has been set free by God can truly praise and worship him. Psalm 95:6,7 says "O come, let us worship and bow down : let us kneel before the Lord our maker. For he is our God". Only souls free from the world can command their souls to use their bodies in this fashion. So children of God, you are free! Stay free! It's your time, so live your life well.

Apostle Henry

The Seven D's

Seven is the number that represents completeness. God has a plan for our life that will make us totally complete in the areas of relationships, health, and finances. Satan's plan for us is to totally destroy us in these three areas. How dose he plan to do it? His plan is simple. He will use us against ourselves! He will try to release what I like to call the Seven D's upon us to make us think and act in ways that will kill, steal, humiliate, and destroy us and the generations to come. He wants to kill our faith and cut us off from God the Father forever. The following is a list of the Seven D's as they will occur in our life if we allow them into our thought pattens. They are in order of occurrence as follows:


Doubt: To be AFRAID! Fear that makes you question God's word and his goodness.



Distraction: To draw or cause to turn away from the original position, goal, purpose, direction, association, or interest.



Diversion: The act or instance of diverting from one course or use to another. Something that turns the mind from serious concerns or ordinary matters and relaxes or amuses turning the mind to pleasure. Diversion often times makes the wrong things seem attractive so that you will want them more than the right things.



Discouragement: The act of discouraging to deprive of courage or confidence. Discourage implies loss of courage, confidence, and resolution. There is a sapping effect of fear, doubt, and inability to muster up further hope and determination. Discouragement is designed to make you look at your problems rather than at God the answer to your problems.



Depression: The act of depressing or the quality or state of being depressed. (Sad). Depress means to make or cause to sink, fall, or assume a lower level, position, point, situation, or attitude. It also means to lessen, diminish, impoverish, or depreciate the activity, strength level, yield, or significance of a person or a place. (To Oppress).



Delay: Delay means to put off or prolong the time of or before. To postpone, stop, detain, or hinder for a time. The goal is to make you put off doing something so that it never gets done.



Defeat: Defeat means to undo, or to destroy. To disfigure or to render null and void. To win the victory over, check the progress of, or destroy the power of a person or a people. The goal is to make you feel like a failure so you don't even try.



The only sure way to stop the Seven D's from destroying your life is to never let doubt ( the first D) about God and who you are in him to enter your mind. Know and believe the word of God, that satan is defeated! So children of God , don't let the enemy play with your mind! You have the victory! It's your time, live it well!
