It gets uploaded and it's ready and it comes right to you so you don't miss anything of what God is saying in the prophetic now. I always like to remind everybody while we do what we do. I believe God has equipped me and anointed me. And the purpose of Dimensions is to prepare the body of Christ, the bride of Christ for the return of Christ, to help them keep oiling their lamps, loving their heart, sending leaven out of their life. When I say oiling the lamps, that's not only just walking in the anointing, it's also keeping you illuminated of what God is saying in the prophetic now, what he's saying in the moment. Matter of fact, if you missed yesterday's podcast, you got to go back and get it. My goodness. So get that podcast, listen to it, and let's jump into what God is saying today. I want you to grab your Bibles, if you would, and go with me to Colossians chapter number three. And I want to give you today the key to all spiritual victories. It's a key to all spiritual victories. If you are battling with something in your life, you are struggling in an area, if you see things in the scriptures where you're not up to par or exceeding par, if you're not developing in some areas and you maybe there's some character issues, or maybe some things going on in your health, or maybe some things going on in your family. I am going to give to you today the key that will help you obtain the spiritual victory that you want to have in your life. I know that you don't want to live the way you've been living. You want to have the abundant life. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of Christians coming and shouting about promises they never obtain. I don't want people coming to my church shouting on Sunday, living in defeat from Monday to Saturday, just hoping to get back to Sunday so they can feel good and shout about their problems, shout over their problems again. And hopefully, maybe somewhere in the sweet by and by, God's going to do it. Listen, if you will apply what I'm talking about today, you'll begin to do these things. God gave me a prophetic word, and I'm going to share that with you as we go on. That if you will do what I'm talking about in October, you'll begin to implement what I'm talking about in October, you will begin to see things differently and walk in different levels in November and December. Are you ready for that? Let's get into this. This is very, very important. Colossians chapter 3, verse number 10. But actually, you know what? I'm going to jump up to verse 1, because I think that's important. Very, very important. Verse number one. If then you were raised with Christ, so if you were raised with Christ, if you have been saved in Jesus Christ, and then, and that's the reason why we get water baptized, because we have death, burial, and resurrection in newness of life. If you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above. Hallelujah. Where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Now you do understand that you're seated in heavenly places with him. So we're supposed to seek, watch this, and live to the level where we are seated. We're to seek and we are to live at the level where we are seated. The moment you got saved, you'll never be more saved than you were the day you got saved. Jesus has made you saved. You are saved. You are seated together with him at the right hand of the Father. We are joint heirs of Christ, seated together with him in heavenly places. That word heavenly places in the book of Ephesians is the word Eperaneus. It is the arena of which all spiritual battles are waged, won and war, or won and lost. Everything happens in the Epiraneus realm. It is the spiritual arena where every spiritual battle is waged. Are you ready? And lost or won in that arena. So what does he say here? We're seated in that place. Seek those things. Let me stay with this too. You've got to seek out the answers to your victory. It's not just enough to pray. You've got to get into the word. And I'm going to talk about that in a minute. You've got to get into the word. And I want to challenge you to do something. I believe if you will begin to do what I'm talking about, you are going to see dramatic changes in your life because the Bible promises that. Verse number two, set your mind on things above, not on things of the earth. You can't get heavenly blessing seeking things on the earth. For you died. The old you, everything that was you. When you gave your life to Christ, God did not give you some makeup and do some cover-up and cover up your sins. He gave you a complete brand new face. You are a brand new creature, a new creation in Christ Jesus. Old things, 2 Corinthians chapter 5, verse 17, have passed away. All things have become new. Old things have passed. Everything has become new. So what am I doing? I am seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, but where I am with him as well. I died and my life is hidden. Now see this. Now, this is where we get lost. Your life is hidden. What life? The Zoe life, the life of God, the blessing of Almighty God. Come on, somebody. The healing you want, the deliverance you want, the spouse you're looking for. Come on, the children that you're going to have one day, or your children, maybe they're saved or not saved. I don't know where they are. But whatever you're looking to see, wherever you don't have that abundant life, that Zoe life, it is hidden, not from you, but for you. That's why it says in verse one, seek those things which are above. Matthew 6, 33, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteous. And all these things will be added. Things in the spirit realm that are of value, you have to dig for. So stay with me here. You died, your life is hidden with Christ in God. Verse 4, when Christ, who is our life, appears, then you will also appear with him in glory. So when he appears, when you begin to see who Christ is, when you begin to get a revelation of who Jesus is, you'll begin to see who you are. You'll begin to walk in your abundant life. You'll begin to walk in your blessing. And now watch this. This is important. You've got to seek some things in order to find some things. Seek and you shall find. Ask and it shall be given. And knock and it shall be open. It is a pursuit of the valuable things of the kingdom that brings you into the abundant life. Now, what am I seeking? What am I pursuing? What am I doing? Now here's where I get to the key. Now I gave you some other points here that will put you in that direction. But if you understand the importance of the seeking and going after those things, you're going to understand what I'm about to talk about right here. Now look here. Collapse chapter 3, verse number 10. And have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of him who created him. Wow. Your inner man. Now listen, when you got saved, you got an inner man. You have an inner spirit man that God gave to you that you can walk in the abundant life. Hallelujah. That is so good. I hope that we will get that. Now I want you to go with me real quickly over to uh let's see here. Ephesians. Let's go to the book of Ephesians. We are going to look at chapter number three. And I want you to see this here because this is important. Ephesians chapter three. We're going to go back to Colossians in just a minute, but I want to show you this. When you gave your life to Jesus Christ, you now have a spirit man. You now have an inner man. He must be developed. Now I just read to you in Colossians chapter three that the inner man, the spirit man, the new man, when we talk about 2 Corinthians 5, 17, old things are passed away, all has become new, he must be developed. I am convinced. Now watch. Why believers don't walk in greater levels of victory is because we lack the application to develop the new us. If you're a person that likes to work out, you don't get muscles and strength and a toned body by not developing it. You don't get it by eating anything you want. You have to eat a specific diet, you have to eat a certain way. You've got to exercise or certain things you do. People that look great, they live a different lifestyle. It is the same way with your spirit man. If you do not develop him, if you do not grow him, if you're not in church, I tell people at least twice a week, make sure you work out that spirit man on Sundays and on Wednesdays, and then developing a daily prayer life, getting into the word of God. If you don't do those things, you will go from prayer line to prayer line, prophetic word to prophetic word, you will go from preacher to preacher, Sunday to Sunday, and you will never see the abundant life in your life. The moment you got saved, you have an itty bitty spirit man. Now you have to begin to develop that spirit man to begin to walk in the fullness of who God has called you to be. Now look here, Ephesians 3, verse number 14. For this reason, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. Look at this. That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might. Through his spirit, in where the inner man. My good God Almighty, that your inner man would be strengthened with might. Look at this. This is so powerful. He would grant you to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might through the spirit in the inner man. Why? The stronger you develop your inner man, the more dominion you will walk in. I'm convinced people get into prayer lines, they don't maintain healings many times. People say, why not? Their inner man isn't strong enough. You have to remember you have an inner man, you have your soul, and then you also have your carnal, your carnal, carnal nature that is crucified with Christ. You have that body, spirit, soul, and body. Now, this is the reality. If your carnal man is huge and it's influencing your mind, and your spirit man is little, doesn't mean you're not going to heaven. It just means you're dominated by carnality. So what do I have to do? I have to be renewed in the spirit of my mind. I this is the key to getting victory in your life. If you want to see dominion come into your life, you've got to strengthen that inner man. That's why he's praying, according to the riches of the Lord, that you be strengthened with might through his spirit. Why? The Bible says in Ephesians chapter 6, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. You've got to put on the whole armor of God. You've got to put on that inner man. You've got to develop that inner man. You have to strengthen that inner man. And what will happen as that inner man gets stronger, you will begin to catch revelation. God will begin to, that's why he said to seek it, go after it, develop it. And how do I do that? This is the number one key that I believe most believers do not walk in. Number one, prayer. That is important. A lot of believers do not pray. They don't spend any time in prayer, they don't meditate on prayer, they don't get into the presence of God and stay alone until they're no longer alone to walk in the spirit. But those that do pray, they're missing this key. This is the key to spiritual victories. How much word content are you putting into your spirit, man, daily for the development of that inner man for the area you want to obtain victory in? You got to remember the word of God from Genesis to Revelation is like going into a pharmacy. You've got all these prescriptions. Now, this is the reality. If you are battling with some type of skin infection, if you got this skin infection, you need an ointment for it. You can't take vitamin C tablets. You can't take just any old antibiotic. If you have high blood pressure, you can't take an antibiotic. Now watch this. It doesn't mean antibiotics are not good or will not work, but it is not going to treat your condition. So what do we need to do? If we have a spirit man, we have to seek spiritually the things that the man needs in order to develop and grow it so that it can have the appropriate antibiotics, nutrients, whatever it is, supplements that you put in. So my question, my thing to you, and Mr. Producer, I want you to put this in here's your homework. Put down homework, put a colon or semicolon, and then and then put down in there, here's your homework. I want you to find 15 to 20 scriptures that you will read at least once a day. You may not read every single one of them, but you take some time and you meditate on those scriptures. Here's your homework. This is what the promise of the Lord gave me. See, you have to develop your spirit man. You have to develop him that he gets bigger and stronger. Think about it. When you feed your children, if you've had children, if you feed a baby, they don't talk immediately, they don't walk immediately, but you keep on feeding them. You keep on feeding them. You keep on feeding them. And then eventually they get to a point where they stand. Then they get to a point where they're talking words. Then they start laughing. Then they start taking things in. What happened? There's a development of that natural man or woman. Well, there's a develop of your spiritual man or spiritual woman. And you have to feed it the food of the word. The Bible says that without faith, it's impossible to please him. Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Your key to spiritual victory in this season. This is what the Lord's woman said. If you will begin to meditate upon the scripture, if you will begin to pray and to meditate on the word, you are going to see some things differently because you're going to begin to see it through God's lens. You're going to begin to see it through your spiritual inner man. God is going to strengthen you with might according to the inner man. Hallelujah. And how is the inner man renewed? Let's go back over to Colossians. I want to read it to you again. Now I'm setting up this whole thing for you so you have an understanding on how to get victory. Maybe you're battling with fear. How many scriptures are you feeding your inner man in order to defeat fear? Now, these are what you have to understand. If you have carnality here and your spirit man is here, what will happen as you pray, as you're in church, as you're reading the word daily, that spirit man will begin to grow and eclipse that carnal mind, that carnal nature. You already have it, but you've got to feed that inner man. You've got to put him to work. You've got to feed your faith, starve your doubts, feed your faith, starve your poverty, starve, starve uh your sickness, starve your depression, starve your fears, starve your low self-esteem, but feed that part of your inner man the word, that it gets into your inner conscience and begins to renew your mind, that you get renewed in the spirit of your mind. And then your spirit will begin to see things differently. You'll begin to see things differently, and then what will happen? You will get keys to the kingdom and your life will be supernaturally transformed. This is why a lot of people do not walk in victory. Now, let me show you a couple of passage scriptures here. I want to go to Joshua chapter number one. Joshua chapter one. Let me show you something here. This is really good today. This is why a lot of people, well, you know, I just listen, when you are battling with fear while you're reading the book of Revelation, that ain't gonna help you. You can't be reading the book of Obadiah. You're gonna read Leviticus. You know, you're gonna read even the book of Genesis. Now, there may be some stories in there, but you need to pinpoint when you get an antibiotic, they give you clear directions. They say, hey, I want you to take this amoxicillin for 21 days, twice a day with food. And you know what you do when you start getting better? They say, Don't stop taking it. You got to keep on working that antibiotic all the way through. My question is, what's the antibiotic that you're taking spiritually daily to treat and to develop that spiritual man of yours? You've got to put that word in there. Now look at this here. Let me show you something. This is the word of the Lord for you. Joshua chapter one. Let's start in verse number one. I was got verse eight's where I want to get to. I'm gonna look at verse one. After the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua, the son of Nunmost assisted, saying, Moses, my servant, is dead. Now therefore, arise. Here's the promise. Go over the Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I'm giving him. So he shows them an inheritance. He shows them what he's getting ready to do. And he says in verse 3, Every place that the sole of your foot will tread, I've given it to you. As I said to Moses, from the wilderness in this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the great sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. So he's given them all this stuff. Look at it. Verse 5: No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. See, we love all this, don't we? As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. As I did it for your daddy, your granddaddy, and your great granddaddy, I'm will bless you as well. Verse 6, be strong and of a good courage. For to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong, and that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law which Moses, my servant, commanded you. Do not turn from it from the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper whithersoever you go. Here's your here's here's here's the key. This is why a lot of people don't obtain spiritual victory in their life. This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth. Look at this. But you shall meditate in it day and night. Why? Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Now, if I am dominated with carnality, even if I am in prayer, if my mind isn't renewed, if my spirit man isn't built up, I will still gravitate back and speak and see back to the old man, what I've been taught in the past. If you got fear, you can pray, but you got to renew your mind. And then you've got to operate and you've got to walk in the light of the word. What do I mean by that? As you're reading the word, your spirit will get illuminated. God will give you steps to take. God will give you insight. God will begin to show you how to walk in that victory. The word is powerful. The Bible says that the heavens and the earth were created by the word of God. Hebrews chapter 1, verse 3. The worlds were formed, fashioned by the word of God, so that the things that appear were not made by the things that do appear. So everything in this natural realm, including our physical bodies, was created from the substantive word of God. That means it's still subject to the word of God. If the word of God was the originator, that means it has the ability to create still, and that the whatever it was created, whatever was created by the word is still subject to the word. Why is that important? Because anything that you see right now that was created by the Word of God is still subject to the authority of the Word. Why is that important, Pastor J? Because anything that you need to change in the natural can change when you work the word. Why? Because if you work the word, whatever was created by the word is still subject to the word. So my body was created by the word, it's subject to the word. So I got to get into the word so then I can walk in the authority of the word. And guess what happens? You begin to see your life change and things will begin to shift. But he says, This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night that you may observe. Now look at that. This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night that you may observe. Now watch that. This is important. What you observe is determined by what you meditate and by what you speak. So watch, let's go in reverse order here. What I speak, you ready, goes by what I meditate on. Because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. What I see goes by what I am meditating upon. So your seeing and your speaking are all products of what you put into your spirit. Come on, somebody. Hallelujah. This is the reality. You've got to get into the word for yourself. What does it say? Now go back to Colossians chapter 3 again. I want to read it to you again. So then you get this. This is so good today. This is going to help you walk in your new season, walk and obtain the spiritual victory that you have for your life. Colossians 3, verse 10. And having put on the new man, how do I do that? Who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of him who created him? Who created the inner man? Jesus Christ. That's why it says, if you go back up to verse number four, um, where when Christ, who is our life, appears, what does it say? Then you will appear with him in glory. So Christ created the new man. We are in Christ. So as we see him, as we well, how do we see Christ? We see him in the word. So if you want to walk in victory over fear, you've got to put scriptures of courage. What does the Bible say about fear? Why? Because it builds up who you are in Christ. That inner man is renewed in Christ, and he will get bigger and bigger and bigger until what happens here? Look at you'll be renewed in knowledge. And then what happens? You begin to see fear differently. Then all of a sudden, courage begins to come alive within you. That inner man, just like a baby that was first crying and couldn't do anything. Now I have kids that are 11 and 10 years old. At one point, I had to do everything for them, but I kept feeding them. I kept feeding them. And they slowly developed and began to grow and began to get stronger and stronger and stronger and stronger. It's the same way spiritually. The problem is we aren't being look at it, didn't say we're renewed in prayer. We're not renewed in the anointed. We're not renewed in church services. We're not renewing it. Not that we can't have part of that. My point is that it's renewed, though, in the knowledge according to the image of him who created him. So if I want to be renewed in the spirit of my mind, I've got to get into that word. Here you go. Here's your homework again. You've got to take 15 to 20 scriptures on the area that you're believing in that name. Well, what do I got to do? Seek. Seek those things which are above, where Christ is. Set your mind. Look at this. Colossians 3, verse number 2. Set your mind on things above, not on things of the earth. Stop looking for earthly things or earthly people. Start getting into that word every day. And then once you find your scriptures, well, how do I find them? How do I go to Dr. Google? Go to Deacon Google and say, Deacon Google, you can even use AI, ChatGPT. Use AI. Go through and say, I need scriptures on what the Bible says about fear. And then just begin to read. And then read on it and fill your mind with the word. Hallelujah. Fill your spirit with the word. Put your mind on it every single day. If you're looking for healing, don't just get into a prayer line and not go home and read. Read that so then your spirit man is renewed each and every day, that you will walk in the fullness of the victory and the authority of God's word. Come on, somebody. Every day, renewing your mind in the image of him who created him. Jesus is the image that created him, created who? The inner man, that new man, that person. If any man be in Christ, he's a new creature. Old things passed away, all has become new. That new man was created by Jesus Christ. And it is the knowledge of Jesus Christ through the word that builds up that spirit, man, that you can walk in the fullness of the Holy Ghost and power. Man, my good God, that's good preaching. I hope somebody will give me an amen right there. Because I'm telling you, this is a key to spiritual. We don't talk enough about the word. In our church now, I have a scripture of the month. I just recently implemented this. Scripture, we read it every single service. Wednesday night, we had service tonight. That'll be read tonight. Hallelujah. We will read through the scriptures. We will meditate on it. You will meditate on it. And listen, on Sunday morning, we will read through the scriptures. Every Sunday and Wednesday, we will read through it. And I told people, memorize it. Our scripture this month is 2 Corinthians chapter 10, 3 through 6, about how our weapons of our warfare are not counted, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down thoughts, and imagining the exalt self of the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. So we're going to meditate on that each and every day, along with the scriptures that we need. Why? What's the prescription? My brother calls them prescriptures. So meditate on it day and night. Last scripture, and I'm going to let you go. Go to Psalm, the first Psalm, Psalm number one, and I want you to see this here. Blessed is a man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scorpion. But what does he do? His delight is in the law of the Lord. What's the law of the Lord? The word of God. And in his law he meditates day and night. Where do we just read that? Joshua 1.8. He'll meditate day and night. And what will happen? He'll be like a tree planted that it gets roots in your mind, in your spirit. He'll be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither. And whatever he does shall prosper. Wow. Now one last thing though. I wanted to go back and finish this up. Joshua chapter 1, verse number 8. This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do all that is written in it. So there's something you got to do. So you got to keep putting your mind in that word so that you have the strength and the power, the ability to do it. What does he say? For then, after you've done these things, you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Wow. The key to spiritual victory is developing the spiritual inner you, the inner man. How is he renewed? He's renewed in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, the image of him who created that spiritual man. So what am I doing? I'm telling you, I want you for your homework, get into that word, find yourself 15, 20 scriptures. Go ask Pastor Google, Deacon Google, Doctor Google, Pastor AI, however you want to do it. Get in there and ask them. And then take all those scriptures, write them up, cut and paste, whatever you need to do, however you want to do it, and read those. And the word meditate even means to mutter. And maybe I'll talk about tomorrow about what happens and how it's meditating on the scripture, how it changes your perception, how the word of God will change the way you see things. But the devil will plant things in your mind too. So then you'll begin to see things the way he wants you to see it. Because watch this, as a man thinketh in his heart, so he becomes. That's scripture. That's in the book of Proverbs. As you think, as you meditate, as you believe, you will become. Why? Watch this, and I'll talk about this tomorrow. The devil and the Holy Spirit, they both use the arena of the imagination, which is where all faith is. Faith is in the arena of the imagination, in order to bring into existence the things that are in the unseen realm, into the seen realm. And that's what I want to talk about, and that's why it's so important. That you meditate upon the word. Let me pray for you. Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank for every person today. Thank for the anointing of the Holy Ghost. I thank you for your word. I thank you that they're going to walk in the power of the inner man, that they can have the spiritual victory that they want to have in their life, in every area of their life. So, Father, as we feed that part of us, help us to grow, help us to develop, help us to become all that you've called us to be. And Father, we thank you, giving you the praise, the honor, and all of the glory. In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Listen, it's time for you to walk in spiritual victory. This is the key for you. It's time for you to walk in it. I want you to take that homework, meditate on those. God said, those that will meditate through the month of October, they will begin to see. Now don't stop meditating in October, but as you start it and you begin to jump in with us, you're going to begin to see things differently in November and December. Get into the word and watch the great things. I, natural eye, has not seen, ear, natural ear has not heard. The heart hasn't entered into the heart of man, the natural heart, the things that God has prepared for those that love him. God's got things prepared for you. As you seek it out, he's going to reveal them unto you by his spirit, and you're going to walk in the abundant life. Don't forget to like, subscribe, follow, and share.
