God, Mental Health and Wellness-Part 2

God, Mental Health and Wellness-Part 2

Dr. Ava Richardson

 

A. OBJECTIVE OF THIS TEACHING:
• To bring us into more of the wisdom and knowledge of God concerning our minds.
• Mental health and wellness are a part of our covenant rights.
• Mental health/wellness was included in the salvation plan.
B. FOUNDATION SCRIPTURES
• 3 John 1:2KJV  2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
• 1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your
whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
According to this scripture, we are triune beings: spirit, soul, and body. God’s wants every part of us WHOLE!  As my soul prospers, every part of me is really counting on it.

C. STATEMENT #1: THE FATHER NEVER INTENDED FOR MAN TO WIN IN HIS SPIRIT AND LOSE IN HIS  SOUL.

There are five components of the soul.  They are: mind, will, emotions, intellect, and the imagination.
The enemy doesn’t want us to prosper in my soul. If we don’t understand how important it is to keep our thoughts, we will have identity theft/identity crisis.

There are frequencies that are trying to steal/disturb/grab our thoughts. For what
purpose? To steal our identity. To steal who we are as new creations in Christ Jesus,
who we are as believers in Christ, what we have in Him and what we can do in Him. Our spiritual maturity will determine how much I will access.

Romans 12: 1-2 KJV: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:1-2 AMPC I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the
mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and
faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your
reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. 2Do not be conformed to this
world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be
transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new
attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will
of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

Romans 12: 1-2 TPT “Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous
mercies? To surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live-in holiness,
experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship. Stop
imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the
Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s
will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.”

Declaration #1: The Father’s best for me is wholeness in every area & I will have it by doing the work required for total transformation of my mind, in Jesus’ Name.
