SET FOR A MENTAL REVOLUTION

Are you set for a mental revolution?

Then let me say this: supernatural mentality or mental excellence for mental exploits, is impossible and cannot be operated without the ministry of the Holy Spirit. He is the One who reveals and co-ordinates its operation inside you. First Corinthians 2:6-13 says:

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

The Holy Spirit sits upon your mentality, to bring everything around you that will help you get to where you’re going. He collates facts for you. He delivers them in concrete terms, so that you won’t have any doubt as to why you are taking the step He tells you to take. He was at work in Joseph, Daniel, Peter and Stephen.

But it is one thing to know that the Holy Spirit is available, it’s another thing to know how to gain access into His ministry. The Amplified Version of Job 32:8 says:

But there is [a vital force] a spirit [of intelligence] in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives men understanding.

The kind of mental excellence and understanding we’re talking about is the one that needs the help of the Holy Spirit. That’s the kind of intelligence that will make you become master over the Chaldeans, magicians, astrologers, etc. It will make you stand clearly above them in results and put you in command of all the forces of evil.

Ephesians 3:10 talks about the manifold wisdom of God that disarms principalities and powers, putting them in subjection, with you standing and walking in total command over them. The manifold wisdom of God puts you in natural command of the forces of darkness.

There is no substitute for the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the school of divine wisdom or supernatural mentality. In John 14:26, Jesus said the Holy Spirit will teach us all things, and in John 16:13, He said the same Holy Spirit will show us things to come. That is, He will take things from God and pass them unto you.

He then becomes your medium of connection to supernatural intelligence. He will bring to light the things that are hid inside God.

Haven’t you heard that in Christ are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge needed to give you your place and to make you fulfil your dreams in life (Col. 2:3)? You can’t be operating with supernatural intelligence and not be great.

Everyone who operates in this realm stands out amongst men. Nothing compares in value with it. It is unique.

And the Holy Spirit is your principal access into that great treasure of wisdom and knowledge, which gives you insight, foresight, dominion and unequaled creativity (Job 28:7-28).

Oh, how we need this supernatural mentality called divine wisdom as never before!

We are told in Numbers 27:18 that Moses laid his hands on Joshua, and he was filled with the spirit of wisdom. You too can be filled with wisdom!

It is very important not only to know that supernatural intelligence for mental exploits is available, but also to know your instrument of access. The Holy Spirit is that instrument. He is the gateway to the realms of divine intelligence. You have to be able to embrace His ministry before you can operate in that realm.

The Spirit of God is essentially the spirit of wisdom. In Acts 6:10, they could not resist the spirit and wisdom with which Stephen spoke.

Peter’s experience on the day of Pentecost was supernatural. He did not operate as an ignorant and unlearned person at all. The local fisherman suddenly became a super intelligent man, by the ministry of this mental catalyst called the Holy Spirit! He revealed a new Peter to the world. Without opening any book, Peter blasted the whole city with an irresistible message of redemption, and 3,000 souls got saved the same hour!

Now, forget for a moment the inspiration behind that delivery, check the substance and arrangement of the details. All that came to him suddenly. An impromptu delivery, unprepared for, yet so profound! That’s a demonstration of the excellent nature of the Spirit of God which dwells inside the believer. That’s why He’s called the Excellent Spirit in Daniel chapter 6. His nature is also a pointer to His mission – which is to supernaturally generate excellence in the believer.

He introduces supernatural order to your mental faculty, so you’re able to coordinate things that are naturally beyond the level of your intellectual capacity. In essence, He generates mental excellence inside you.

With this understanding, if you yield to the Holy Spirit, you’ll go beyond speaking in tongues and laying hands on the sick, to a place of astounding mental exploits.

Friend, if you’re set for a mental revolution, this is the good news: the Holy Spirit has a mission of mental revolution in your life. So, give Him the place, and you will get to a place where He would naturally unfold things you need to know to you.

Embrace His ministry, place value on His ministry and invoke His help. When you get to any crossroad, invoke His help. Say to Him, “Holy Spirit, show up in this matter. There must be a way out. Holy Spirit, I’m banking on Your ministry to show me which way to go. You’re my vital link to my vital source. I am counting on You”

We really need to come to that point where we know that the things we are confronted with most of the time are beyond our natural capabilities. We need to tap into our supernatural backing, which will make all the difference.

Now, tell the Holy Spirit you’re open to His ministry of mental revolution.
