The secrets of developing a kingdom mindset. Notice I did not say a world mindset. I did not say a psychological mindset. I did not say a medical mindset. I said kingdom. And the reason that distinction matters more than most people understand is this: when you mention God, the word impossible has to be erased. Get your faith eraser out. Some of the things you will read, your brain is going to reject — and that is exactly how you will know they are from God. Because the kingdom operates in a realm that the sense realm cannot handle. I do not care how intellectual you are, how many degrees you have — it cannot process this. This is in another realm.
Romans 12:2 says, “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.” What is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God for your life? A long, satisfied, 120-year life. The enemy of that life is a conformed mind — a mind that has been shaped by what the world says is normal, what medicine says is expected, what your family modeled before you. You have become conformed. You have let doctors, medicine, various diseases, and various demonic forces decide how long you are going to live. And when you get to a certain age, you start giving up. Today, we are turning that around.
Romans 12:1 says, “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.” Notice what Paul says — by the mercies of God. Mercies. Plural. Pull your mercy out. Lord have mercy on my body. Lord have mercy on my mind. You have been given mercies — not just one, but layers of them — and they are available to you on every level where your body, mind, and circumstances need to be turned around. You present your body to God. You take authority over your body. You do not let your body tell you what to believe. You tell your body what to believe. Your body will change according to your word.
Romans 12:3 ties it all together — It says, “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” You have been given the measure of faith. You have the faith to go to 120 years. But here is the thing that changes everything: when unmeasured grace and measured faith take hands, nothing is impossible. Unmeasured grace is in that verse. Grace means ownership. Grace means it is already yours. And when the measure of faith gets a hold of grace, grace brings faith up to its level. No limit. Already done. Your 120 years is already on the record.
