Today’s time with God and The Team–Jesus and Holy Spirit has been hugely awakening.  This is not just some nice idea or good thinking that Jesus is Almighty and Powerful just as God the Father is.  Let me explain this as it unfolded this morning.  As I was having my Bible reading finishing the book of Mark, the book ends with Jesus’ words commissioning all His followers to spread the Good News.  “Go ye into all the world….”.  Joyce Meyer says in a footnote to this commission that we are to carry forth the miraculous work Jesus started.  Man often thinks of Jesus work as that of miracles which they are.  However, we too often limit the miracles to that of body-flesh healing.  Joyce said to consider breakthrough as another way of interrupting healing.

In the last couple days God has had me switch my journaling to Jesus once again.  However, now that I’m more grounded in the Almighty God I needed to see that His Son Jesus carries within that same Almighty Power.  I have been awakened to this truth mightily too.  My own breakthrough has been that within me is God’s Precious Holy Spirit Who also embodies the same Almighty Power.  So, how is this accessible to me?  My breakthrough came when so many pieces to the puzzle started fitting into place.

First and foremost, I’ve given power to my mind and my control of it.  I’ve said many times this was the one area my dad couldn’t get to and I had to keep it strong so I could not let his damage control me or the damage of my brother.  We know that story.  I’ve also tried all my life to control my responses to temptation and sin by controlling my mind–we also know that story.  A year ago I heard for the first time that the home of God’s Holy Spirit is our mind–it is our heart (the amygdala).  If I allow (surrender) my mind to being the home of the Holy Spirit and The Throne of Grace where Christ resides I don’t have to try and be in control of my mind–This Almighty Team is.  I hear and feel God’s messages in my mind and no wonder I do–we do.  He lives there!

I’ve always thought the mind is the control of flesh and the heart is the control of spirit.  Well, everything we are is spirit in flesh.  Now that I’ve had this mental breakthrough I can easily see my need to surrender my mind’s control to Jesus.  If you’re shaking your head wondering how this old grandpa could be so dense–go ahead.  I am shaking mine too.  I’m just glad to finally see this truth clearly.  So I tell all of this because I call this my morning miracle.  This breakthrough is great.  I feel freed from a task I’ve never been able to accomplish and now I know why.  I wasn’t suppose to complete it.  I needed to surrender it and now I have.  Somehow, I’ve always thought surrendering control would then provide strength to control it.  Instead, I’m learning that surrendering control means washing my hands and letting it go.  God’s Almighty Team is taking care of it entirely.  To God be the Glory!  Great things He hath done!
