Your mindset has been improperly tuned by the church and by the world system. That is not an accusation — that is a diagnosis. Many of you have never heard that God has promised us 120 years. This has never been put on the table for you. And because it was never put on the table, you conformed to the world’s standard. You let the world determine how long you are going to live. You let doctors, medicine, disease, and the family pattern decide your exit date. Today, that changes.
Knowing how to operate continuously in the mind of Christ — that is the only way you are going to be able to do this. Your natural mind is not going to do it by itself.
Romans 12:2 says be transformed by the renewing of your mind. That renewing is a daily process. It is not a one-time event. You have to wake up every morning and renew your mind with what God said — not what the news said, not what the diagnosis said, not what your cousin said over coffee. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. If you think you are going down at 75, your body will cooperate with that thought. But if you start thinking like God — if you start thinking: I am going to live to be 120 healthy and happy — your body will begin to cooperate with that thought too.
Philippians 4:7 says the peace of God which passes all understanding will keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.
Isaiah 26:3 says, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
Your mind has to stay. It has to be anchored. It has to stop bouncing between the Word and the world, between what God said and what the doctor said, between the truth of 120 years and the doubt that is going to come. Because doubt is going to come. But doubt cannot whip truth.
Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Today, you are being set free from early death — from the all-your-family-went-young mentality, from the I-am-almost-at-the-end thinking. That thinking is being cut out of you right now by the Word, which is sharper than any two-edged sword.
