Preface
26630.jpgThis book has been inspired of God to speak about the intimacies of the relationship between the mind and the proverbial pulpit of our lives. It is in the very cogitations of our minds that God intends to use our minds as a platform to push the very principles and directives of this Christian life we are all to live after coming into the knowledge and understanding of Christ. Through our minds are birthed specific instances to allow the Word of God to matriculate through the processes of our thoughts into the spiritual bloodstream of our deeds.
In this book, we will discuss and share messages, applications, and shared stories that will show evidence how through scripture, God is desirous to use our minds as an avenue to reach those who are in need of pulling from their individual pits in a psychological and even more emotional way.
We will venture to discuss and explain as the Holy Spirit gives utterance, how the mind works as a place where many will not allow God to mount the sacred desk of our minds, simply by the way we think, act, and carry out the cognitive reasoning processes on a daily basis.
This book is sure to highlight the necessity of following what Paul shares with Timothy when he speaks of, "letting this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus". This is the key in allowing our minds to serve as God’s pulpit. The truth of the matter is that if God cannot mount the pulpit of our mind, He will find a mind that is waiting, willing, and welcoming for His mandate to be carried out. He seeks those who have a mind with a vacant pulpit. (Revelation 3:20)
