The word of God admonishes us to be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of our minds...
Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing THE WAY YOU THINK!!! Then you will learn to KNOW God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:12 NLT
Principalities are mindsets governed by Powers (laws)... We must PULL DOWN these Principalities AND Powers by renewing our minds through obedience, with the word of God. We will then have "the mind of Christ” and obtain the promises in His word, once our thoughts (Mindsets) are governed by the laws of GOD.
Yes our youth lay emphasis on Money. Maybe the fact that our generation enforced in them that "LACK of money" was the reason why they had to do without so much. Our mindsets have been shaped by the spiritual laws governing our geographical locations and subsequently seen us as slave to a poverty mentality. Let us be transformed by the renewing of our own minds & we will become equipped to effect change in the mindsets of our youth.
Having our minds governed by the power of the laws of God's word will break the bond of poverty and see us walking in the fullness of the benefits of Kingdom living, remembering that the battlefield is always in the mind and the victory is won when mindsets (principalities) are dethroned... hallelujah!
So often we are heard to say "we are fighting a losing battle," This being the case because the governing principalities of our mind have greater effect then our desire for victory.. Let us desire a mind change and we will see a power shift that will see us shifted from that off slave to master. God has given us the power to get wealth and He would that we should prosper and be in health even as our souls prosper. Let us therefore grab hold of the keys to the kingdom of God and allow Him to establish prosperity in our souls through the re-establishment of governing principalities and laws of influence.. Let us be active Kingdom Citizens with the sphere of our environment (the Kingdom of God) being the governing factor that will influence our thinking and the manifestation of Kingdom living here on this earth. GOD is revealing His word. Let us push past erroneous mind sets and take on the MIND of Christ through the word of God, for KINGDOM PURPOSE. Victory is ours!
We wonder why we in the body of Christ have so much word but very little power. The power lies in the principal laws that govern our thoughts and mindsets. Even though we are filling ourselves with the word, we struggle to UNDERSTAND and ENFORCE that same word in our lives through our existing mindsets, thoughts and understanding that has been erected in the deep recesses of our minds, shaped and formed by the governing territorial principalities that we have unconsciously submitted to by way of our being born into that perspective region..
Bearing this in mind, being “born again” should see us born into a new geographical region by way of the spirit of God, giving us new governing principal laws thus establishing fresh mindsets, and provoking victorious living.. Being born again into the KINGDOM of God gives us access to KINGDOM LIVING made possible by our coming under the rule of the governing principals of KINGDOM MINDSET. Let us grab onto this and soar like and eagle. It is ours for the asking, however we must yield to the WORD, the SPIRIT, the PERSON OF GOD... that we might obtain the PROMISE.
It is the continuation of the kingdom of God that destroys the rule of Satan's powers of darkness and the thrones of his rule will diminish in exact proportion to the rule of the kingdom of God in any given geographical area.
It is the responsibility of the church to confront principalities and powers by establishing the Kingdom of God first in our own lives and then by helping others, and thus establishing a witness to the people of God's Kingdom. Ephesians 3:9-12, "And to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him."
The victorious Christian life is only available to those who are willing to engage the enemy. We must exercise the authority that we have been given, and if we do, victory is assured!
