Affirmative influence versus reinforcement

Considering how intelligent the intellect can be is like recognizing the thickness of the fine line between well meaning reinforcement and the slim chances of having intended positive influence become contaminated by preconditioning of the mind action to the heart’s intention

The mind also is the stubborn mule or horse that Psalm 32 refers to as having to be controlled with bit and bridle to make it submit [to spirit]

Breaking one’s spirit in stead of one’s mind to reinforce positive influence always creates ground for frustration and misconceptions- the very opposite action to an otherwise sacred intention. That is why God continues to keep its affirmative objective by looking at the heart and Spirit is always encouraged to right outcome even when misinterpreted.

I tell you, spirit knows how to discern intellectual intelligence moves and motives. That is exactly why the mind likes to wear out the spirit and leaves it vulnerable, as this is the only way it can download its moves and motives consciously into the unconscious; and just like God let Joseph’s brothers sell him as a slave, and allowed Joseph to be imprisoned innocently and just how God allowed Haman to build a gallows 75 ft high to hang Mordecai and Mordecai continuing to serve God first though matter what, so to God pretends to not know what is going on; all this while though, God knows that there is one more move and it is God’s, though matter what the mind does and does so well.

If spirit sings, dances and even groans then the move is necessary, then this is in my optionary ordinance, sing, dance, groan it is!

If all spirit does is glide unperturbed then this is sure sign that the mind is dumping bloated nothingness to create a state of panic and so it would serve me well to just surrender to spirit and not use more bit and bridle and attempt to bar the stable after the horse has already clearly escaped the corral while spirit continues to glide unperturbed and giving me a choice to make- life or death. Go solo or hang on to it and hang out with it. From experience and according to optionary ordinance, the wise thing to do is hitch my wagon to spirit’s yoke. A safe idea to ward me off becoming repeating the fate of Lot’s wife or the rebuke of Jesus to his would be followers according to Luke 9:62

Come Holy Spirit and keep children of the living God from the grips of panic and bloated nothingness of intellectual intelligence so that the mind does not interfere with spirit intentions

And even when mind appears to have successfully interfere, Wisdom continues to teach how to discern the difference

Serenity to accept the things I cannot change and hand it back to the one who can change everything and anything
Courage to harness to spirit even when mind output tries to contradict intentions- mine or someone else’s- know when to leave well alone!
Wisdom, oh dear wisdom, what would I do without you, what would I be without you! Where would I be without being lost or feeling lost?

Continue to show children of the living God the difference and more over continue to hasten trust and obedience every breath of the way to let you have the last move.
