Information by Dr Caroline Leaf
Your brain processes 400 Billion actions per second !!! The “MAGIC TREES OF THE MIND” as science call them, the nerve cells (neurons) in your brain look like trees.
You have about 100 Billion nerve cells in your brain. Each tree (nerve cell) can grow up to 200,000 branches. That means we have about 3 million plus years of space in our brain to store memories.
BECAUSE WE CAN’T SEE A THOUGHT, LIKE MY HANDS, THE PEOPLE TEND TO THINK THAT THOUGHTS ARE HARMLESS, BUT, A THOUGHT IS REAL, IT OCCUPIES MENTAL REAL ESTATE, IT LOOKS LIKE A TREE…YOU ARE GROWING BRANCHES AS YOU ARE LISTENING,SPEAKING, AND MAKING CHOICES.
TOXIC THOUGHTS: THIS IS THE NORM: WE ARE MADE IN GOD’S IMAGE–HE IS LOVE. WE ARE WIRED FOR POSITIVE AND HEALTHY THOUGHTS. BUT GOD HAS GIVEN US A CHOICE. The Bible says: “I lay before life and death, choose life.” If we make bad choices, we build toxic trees.

AI-generated transcript below — please excuse any errors
00:02 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Today is the 19th of June, 2015. Brothers and sisters, when we get up, think of Jesus Christ. When we get up, think of Jesus Christ.
00:14 He is our life. He is life for all. Actually he is alive.
00:18 He is the Creator. Everything is inside him now at the same time after that, worship him. Thank you Lord for this morning.
00:23 Mercies are new every morning. Think of others, our daily chores and all that. Yes, we have to do their daily things.
00:30 But people are getting up with suffering. Some of them because they do not know Christ. They are suffering.
00:38 They do not know this powerful Christ who loves us. But at the same time, God has made it clear in James, friendship with the world is enmity with God. Why is God so serious about this friendship with the world? That means the same as hating God, he says.
00:55 And another one he says, the Spirit of God wants us only for himself. Now brothers and sisters, remember today morning you’re not alone. Can you imagine the Spirit of God? God Almighty wants you only for himself.
01:08 You are one third. You are wanted by him. You are not rejected by him.
01:10 You are wanted by him. You have declared that you want to follow him. You want to follow Jesus Christ.
01:18 His blood has washed your sins. You have confessed and taken out. And every day when some issues happen, you also confess straight away.
01:24 Sorry, Lord, I don’t want to do this anymore. Immediately the Holy Spirit will convict you. And immediately stop and say, sorry, Lord.
01:31 And then if there is some people involved, go and ask for forgiveness from them. Settle it, settle it. Brothers, don’t carry it on till next day.
01:38 Don’t know. Settle it. You want peace, you want to be righteous and you want them to see Christ in you.
01:44 Christ in you is humbleness. Humble in heart. Jesus said, take my yoke, I am humble in heart.
01:51 Now God is against the proud and is kind to the humble. He gives more grace to the humble. Come near to God, he says, and he will come near to you.
02:00 But why is God so serious about his world business? Because in Second Corinthians 4 and a number of other places will say, the ruler of this world has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. And some will say, the God of this world. The ruler of this world.
02:15 The God of this world. There are two groups of theologians always arguing whether Jesus is the God is our God Almighty, God is the ruler of this world, or Satan the ruler of the world. Nothing to argue.
02:25 Because first of all, Satan has no power over you. I’ll repeat, Satan has no power over you. On the day of Calvary, Jesus rose again.
02:35 He has taken the power of Satan out of Satan. The power of demons and the fallen angels. All powers are taken and he made them march as a fallen army.
02:46 They emerge as a fallen army. But the world and the earth are two different things. The world is a system of governance.
02:54 So who is ruling this world? Satan is still ruling this world. But he has no power over those who are in Christ Jesus. We have power over Satan and the demons and all that.
03:07 But he still confuses the world. The whole world is under the sway of Satan, the God of this world. So he sways their mind.
03:16 He sends his demons and his spirit beings to contempt people, to trick them into following the world, to want the world. Some young girl who wants an iPhone, iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iPhone 25 finally, finally begin to steal. The desire of our heart brings trouble.
03:37 Therefore do not follow our heart. Our heart will want wrong things. You want the desire of Christ to be put into your heart.
03:44 So your heart also will desire what Christ wants. That’s why the old scripture is misunderstood. Sometimes God delight in the Lord and he’ll give you desires of your heart.
03:54 That is misunderstood to mean whatever our heart desires, he’ll give it to us. That’s not true. Because our heart may desire rubbish.
04:03 But what is actually the meaning should be is he will put. God will put whatever you have to desire. Whatever you must desire, he’ll put into your heart.
04:12 So your heart also will desire exactly as what God wants you to desire. So we’ll become like Jesus. He’ll put the desire that he wants you to have that we delight in him, worship him, sing songs, think of him.
04:29 And his desires for you will come into our heart. And our heart will begin to desire the same thing that he wants. It is not that.
04:37 Our wicked heart wants all kinds of things. And then he’ll give it to us just because we delighted in Him. That’s not wrong understanding.
04:46 And this has caused a lot of problems. A lot of people, they begin to think our heart desires this. God will give me.
04:50 God will give me. I’ll claim this, I’ll claim that. I’ll claim this land.
04:55 Forget all the sisters, brothers. He’ll give you all that you need. That’s a guarantee.
04:59 It’s a promise of God. It’s written on the rock of salvation. All your needs will be settled, no issue but your wants.
05:08 He won’t give all that we want because we’ll kill ourselves. Sometimes we’ll go away from Christ and we may fall into a trap and into a lot of trouble. We may even live and forsake Jesus Christ.
05:20 So he won’t do that, but the ruler of the world, the system of this world. Therefore, in Revelation says, there come a time when the kingdoms of the world now belong to Jesus. Now he becomes the ruler and authority of Christ.
05:34 All kingdoms on earth. All kingdoms. Right now there are kingdoms of the world.
05:39 And now what do we do? The people. The people are ruling this. Love them.
05:43 Love them. Why? They are human beings. They are human beings.
05:47 Our battle is not with human beings. Our battle is spiritual forces, evil forces. That’s why God gave us power.
05:52 God gave us power. So we’ll fight these things now. God gives us power.
05:57 Now take a simple thing. If our brothers and sisters, some of us because of older, whatever, we wake up sometimes. There’s pain, pain in the leg.
06:05 You just test this. You just stroke the place. In the pain.
06:09 In Jesus name. Get out. In the name of Jesus Christ.
06:11 Stroking it, stroking it, or laying hands, or whatever you want to do. Use your hands. There’s no form, there’s no religious activity here.
06:18 Even God, even you know, what did Jesus do? He took mud and spit on it and put it on somebody’s eyes for the blind person, and he could see. So do not stand on some decorum. You stroke it, you lay hands, whatever.
06:29 I normally strike it or stroke it one way. In Jesus name, pain go, pain go. In Jesus name.
06:35 I keep doing this, the pain will go and I may take the breath of God. The breath of God, in Jesus name. And then the bed itself pain would have gone, but the pain may come back.
06:45 Why? Because another law is in play. What we sow, we will reap. So we sow a lot of sugar into ourselves or some other food that we shouldn’t be eating.
06:55 Then, of course, the sacredity will increase and pain will come. So therefore, today, look out in your place of working, where you’re going, marketplace, where you’re meeting, whoever you look out, is anybody looking burdened, troubled? And you know them somewhat. You know them, you say, is everything all right with you? Shall I have a coffee with you? Take time, brothers and sisters.
07:19 Take time. Find time to sit with them and your presence. Because the spirit of God is in you, your presence will touch them.
07:27 That is why many times children of God go. People like to sit with children of God. Because children of God are those who are obedient to Christ’s words, not the ones that are breaking God’s command.
07:37 This way, that way, every which way. And thinking that people will like to sit, the spirit of God is grieved when we do these things. But we want to be holy.
07:45 We want to be righteous. We ask the Lord Jesus. We want to be humble.
07:48 Humble. God said, take my. Jesus said, take my yoke.
07:51 I’m humble in heart. We want to be like Jesus. So when you sit down there and you find.
07:56 And then find the time, Lord, give me mercy and grace. Make me ask them, Lord, talk to them. Let’s not be sister.
08:03 Brother, is everything okay with you? Can I pray in Jesus name? You can get some peace and joy right now if you want. I’ll pray. If they don’t want, thank Jesus Christ.
08:15 Okay, brother Nadare, if you want, call me. You pray and they pray. They’ll have a touch of Christ that day, that morning.
08:22 You. You whom God loves you. The spirit of God wants you only for himself you have touched.
08:30 God would have used you to touch your soul in Jesus name. Brothers and sisters, let’s go and do this today.
