This is Day Forty-Nine of 3650 Minutes of Prayer. Today, we engaged in a powerful study on the Mind of Christ and the necessity of spiritual discernment. We spent our time exalting Christ as the True Vine and the source of all truth. We recognize that as children of God, we are called to be vigilant and sober, ensuring that every thought and imagination in our consciousness aligns with the excellence of the Father. Instead of allowing thoughts to linger or take root, we bring them into immediate obedience to the Word of God, which is our shield and our strength. We looked to John 15, understanding that as branches of the True Vine, we are subject to the Father’s loving pruning. This divine process is not just for our outward actions, but for our souls and our very thoughts. The Spirit of God works to cut away every imagination that does not bear fruit, ensuring that we remain clean and focused through the Word already spoken over us. We stand firm in the truth that we possess the Mind of Christ. By abiding in Him, we allow the Helper—the Holy Spirit—to teach us and lead us into all truth, ensuring that what proceeds from our hearts and mouths is a pure reflection of the Father's glory. We now yield our minds to the pruning shears of the Father. We cast down everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and choose to dwell only on what is true, noble, and pure. We declare that we are the pruned and fruitful branches of the True Vine, walking in sharp discernment and speaking the life of Christ in every circumstance. Prayer & Revelation Scriptures (NKJV) Luke 10:18"And He said to them, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.'" Revelation 12:9"So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." 2 Corinthians 10:5"Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." John 15:1–3"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you." Mark 7:20–23"And He said, 'What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts... all these evil things come from within and defile a man.'" 1 Peter 5:8"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." There is One true God, the Creator of all things, revealed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. There is One God and One Spirit Who has redeemed us all. I am Mathew Sekanjako, a believer in Christ Jesus (Y’shua HaMashiach), the one Son of God. I serve and confess God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This intercession is offered in faith, in obedience, and in love, for all who will listen.
