Having the Mind of Christ

““For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭2:16‬)

When we surrender our lives to Christ he gives us a new identity, a new mind and a new way of thinking. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 2:5) Our view of ourselves is more important than what anyone else thinks of us. Solomon said that as a man thinks in his heart so is he. (Proverbs 23:7) The definition of ourselves no longer rests on what others say but on what God says.

God says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14) God created us in his own image and he invested great things in us to fulfil our purpose and destiny.

We cancel every negative report from the enemy and we cast down every imagination that lifts itself up against the knowledge of Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5) We are who God says we are; Priests, royalty, wonderfully complex, gifted, talented and having the mind of Christ to accomplish great things on this earth.

We cancel the negative ideas from the kingdom of darkness concerning our identity, our future and our lives. We claim the promises of God and we declare that we are who God says we are and our thoughts are aligned with Godly thinking.

I am a trained Social Worker who currently provides professional leadership on a programme to support Social Work students and Newly Qualified Social Workers entering the Social Work Profession.

Born and raised in Jamaica in a Christian family where my father is an ordained Pastor and Deacon who has served for over 50 years in the ministry. My father is also a trained musician and our family can be described as a musical family. I grew up in a small farming community in St. Peter’s, St. Andrew and my parents also have a small farm.

I credit my gift of writing to my father who I watched and listened to over the years as he wrote sermons, poems and other recitals in his capacity in ministry. English has always been an easy subject for me and over the years I have developed an increased interest in writing.

I am a Trainer, I sing and have a passion for worship, the spoken word and the free flow of the prophetic anointing. I am married to my best friend Andrew Christopher Young who is an advanced Musician and whose music you can find on YouTube and Facebook. I am a trained Coach and Mentor and I love experimenting with food so I love cooking. I enjoy trying cultural dishes from across the world and I view food as an entry into cultures and languages.

    An Inspired Challenge for Wives This Father's Day - Today Can Be Different

    Consider asking your husband how you can pray for him each day. (If the father of your children doesn’t live with you, for whatever reason, remember to put him on your prayer list too.) Your husband wants nothing more than to succeed, but he probably struggles with issues he’s afraid to admit, even to himself. He may feel insecure about being a dad, especially if he didn’t have the benefit of a good role model. Or maybe he feels more like an understudy because he’s “only” a stepdad.
