Bride Manifesting Transformation: Part 6: Setting the Captive Free

Setting the captive free and working with the mind of Christ involves healing your own body. With that healing, you gain the experience to extend your hands, prayers, and the gifts God has given you, becoming a minister of Christ in someone else's life who needs emotional support.

We are one body in Christ, comprising many members. It is time to unite the body of Christ on earth. “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also, is Christ” (1 Corinthians 12:12). I refer to them as stones that are truly gemstones, but for them at this moment, they are stumbling blocks. How can we remove the stumbling blocks or transform them into beautiful gems?

Last time, I discussed working with our thoracic bones down to the lumbar, sacrum, and coccyx, exploring what this means from both the masculine and feminine aspects of who you are in Christ. It's about engaging with your body and organs and recognizing their responsiveness.

There are numerous realms of teaching and learning on this topic, and I can only provide an introduction, which I hope will spark your interest. This introduction aims to demonstrate how much more God wants to give you, how much He desires to enlighten you, and to bestow upon you your birthright ability to manifest Christ in you—the hope of glory for your community and land rights in that area. 

You were created in God's image but raised with a spirit of sin, which caused you to believe the lie that you are never good enough for God. By grace, you are a divinely anointed member of the body of Christ. Just as we have many cells—trillions of cells—in our one body, each cell has the DNA capability to identify who that body is. Each person has the DNA of Christ to affirm that they are a child of Christ.

It is time for us to grow up and do the Father's business, fulfilling the greater works that Jesus demonstrated and emphasized. But we must first recognize that our body is the living, moving, anointing power of the Holy Spirit's temple, and that temple is alive and well today. 

I want to refocus on our internal organs, which I mentioned in relation to our thoughts and emotions. Let me provide some illustrations of how these functions work together as we connect with the mind of Christ. We see, hear, smell, and now we have this voice. However, this voice isn't just listening through this area; it's processing what is coming in. What is your heart saying?

If your heart harbors negative thoughts of hate, cruelty, and impatience, rather than love, joy, and peace, the kingdom of God is not manifested on earth. God’s kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17). 

The fruit of the Holy Spirit begins with love, joy, and peace, and then extends to patience, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. Your heart is not the place for self-control; self-control should be where you are seated, and that seating should be heavenly while on earth. However, if you do not recognize this, and instead your self-control revolves around your ego, you will struggle internally with what God is telling you to do. And are you truly hearing from God? The scriptures say that, but the world is proclaiming something different. The world is bringing justification.

You're justified in responding or doing this or that because it's acceptable in the world, and your emotions will wreak havoc on all that. So, in the problematic area, if you've got hate, cruelty, or even impatience, that's not part of the essence of the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, you must first achieve love, joy, and happiness. I'm aligned with whatever the heart's feeling. It connects to the stomach area of creation, which is more related to the earthly realm. 

If you're on the opposing side, your spleen and stomach will carry these, leading to worry, anxiety, or mistrust. Conversely, if you're positive, you’ll experience fairness, openness, and trust simultaneously. The fire in your heart and the desires within not only create sensations in your stomach and spleen but also influence the functioning of your lungs and large intestines, which are connected to feelings of sadness or depression on the opposing side.

Or they can be positive in courage or righteousness. See, the body will connect as creation is manifested, positive or negative, from the heart into the earth area, which is, as I said before, your stomach. Your stomach also causes creation in the lungs. Therefore, your heart controls what's happening in the lungs and large intestines, while your spleen and stomach work with these organs. At the same time, the stomach sends out controls to the water elements: the kidneys and bladder. If your kidneys and bladder are sad and fearful, they'll respond in that manner rather than positively with gentleness, calmness, and simply being silent. Your body needs that water flow. There's no cleansing if it's not getting it because of hindrances.

Now we will explore how the lungs, which were created to perform the functions of the spleen and stomach, also impact the kidneys. See, your lungs are breathing in oxygen, which is transforming hydrogen and oxygen into water particles. Lungs aren't going to function very well, and large intestines won’t work effectively if they’re not getting rid of your toxins. Suppose you've got sadness and fear over here that are constricting those areas simultaneously; water controls what's going on in the heart, whether positive or negative. Many people with heart issues end up with congestive heart failure because the kidneys are not able to flush out the fluids as they should. The water in the body becomes backed up, drowning out the heart and lungs. So, see how it all works together? Doctors will say, “You've got congestive heart failure.” The kidneys and bladder are not effectively removing emotional toxins from the body. Instead, the toxins are stuck in the liver and the gallbladder.

Your liver and gallbladder are where anger, jealousy, and envy are carried in the body. To counteract that positively, we want kindness and gentleness. See, all these positives are fruits of the Holy Spirit and represent the essence of that fruit. It's how your body manifests within His temple. When the liver and gallbladder function properly with kindness and generosity, they positively influence the heart and the small intestines, where proper nutrition is absorbed. The good emotional nutrition that your body needs is absorbed in the small intestines. However, if your body malfunctions, good emotional nutrition is lost through the small intestines, goes right through the large intestines, and is expelled.

If your heart is nourished with what it needs, it will produce the essence of love, joy, and peace. All of these reflect the cycle of our thoughts and emotions, for as a man thinks, so is he (Proverbs 23:7). Consider your words and what you're experiencing, especially in recognizing negative emotions. Should I be worried? Children of God should not worry at all because their father is God. But do we worry? Yes, we do. 

However, when we realize we are worrying and acknowledge where that worry is residing—where worry is being held—it's often in our stomach. What might manifest? Hmm. You may experience indigestion or acid reflux. You might even have an ulcer in that area. That's a sign; it indicates I'm worrying quite a lot. It suggests that, as much as I think I'm trusting God, I'm not, and I need to release that. I must ask God for forgiveness for being in the control box here.

Acknowledge that you've been in the driver's seat of His temple and asked Him to help with your unbelief, and He will. Once you have that testimony that says, “You know, I used to have a worry problem, but greater is He that's in me than that worry problem, that anxiety problem.”

When things in the world come across your path, you don't respond the same way. You find that you don't care much about drama. My latest realization is that I don't want to be around drama. And when people are involved, it's like I don't need it. If that's to be their world and they must hold onto it as a security blanket, then it's not where I will be.

Those are the blessings I can offer them, but if they choose not to change, that's okay. These teachings aim to provide insight into understanding your own body. Let me explain this in more detail. 

Your heart and small intestines are connected. If you're feeling abandoned, betrayed, lost, or unloved; if you have heartache, insecurity, or mockery joy, this is an area where you should seek love, joy, and happiness through the mind of Christ. If you're experiencing anxiety, despair, disgust, nervousness, worry, helplessness, lack of control, or low self-esteem in your spleen or stomach, do any of those sound familiar? I'm sure at least one does. For most of you, that's where you should discover what fairness truly is: openness and trust. It is not fairness according to what man says, but fairness according to what God says.

He created you and wanted you to have an abundant life, not just a mediocre life. He wants you to be filled with the manifestation of all heaven offers. But if heaven were to open and pour down on you while you're in this negative emotional situation, you might end up taking that power, authority, and hurting many people. It's like a five-year-old, you know, who wants the keys to the car; they could potentially cause harm on the road. God desires to give this to you, but He also wants to know that you can handle it. So, when you deal with fairness, openness, and trust, that's transparency. How well can you trust, let go, and rest in the Lord? That's often a place where people struggle with. Many suffer from PTSD, ADD, and other mental health conditions.

But why is this happening so often? Why has it become an atmospheric issue? It's almost as if we could absorb it; if your neighbor has PTSD, then you're going to claim it too. No, you don't need to. It doesn't have to be your burden. Trust the Lord. That's where your trust should be your foundation. 

If you are crying, discouraged, rejected, sad, sorrowful, confused, defensive, grieved, self-abusive, stubborn, or experiencing any of these feelings in your lungs or colon, ask yourself, “What's going on with those areas?” What are you breathing, and what's happening in your large intestine? That's where you want to find courage. You want to discover righteousness. What does David write in the Psalms about courage and righteousness? 

“Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord” (Psalm 31:24). 

“Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me” Psalm 5:8).

How about the liver or gallbladder? Did you know that you have a gallbladder? I'm amazed at how many people have their gallbladders removed due to gallstones. Doctors often consider that the only option is to remove the gallbladder. They don’t think the gallbladder's emotional pathways extend from the head to the large intestines. So, you're missing the communication aspect by removing the gallbladder and its stones. What about dissolving them? But first, let's discover the gemstone hidden in the gallbladder. 

In the liver, emotions of anger, bitterness, guilt, hatred, resentment, depression, frustration, indecisiveness, and panic are stored. When you're taken for granted, someone you trusted “stabs you in the back” with their words, or you suddenly lose your job. How about the sudden shock and then anger response when your spouse or partner is found cheating on you? 

The liver and gallbladder receive messages from the mind to address these negative emotions, which are filtered and eliminated from the body through the large intestines. The adrenal glands assist in this process, but at the same time, God's way is kindness and generosity. Well, that's hard to pull through if you're dealing with anger, but it's available with a Christ-like mind. 

Then we go into the kidneys or your bladder. So, if you have blaming, dread, fear, horror, peeved, conflict, creative insecurity, terror, unsupported, or even wishy-washy feelings, this is how your kidneys and bladder function. The mind of Christ will release gentleness, calmness, and silence. Just be gentle with yourself. Think in terms of a “Calgon” bath. You need to wash it away or stand under a waterfall and let the gentleness, you know, of the water, cleanse you of all the unrighteous attacks. 

Your sacrum and coccyx area are where emotions of humiliation, jealousy, longing, lust, and feelings of being overwhelmed are stored. You'll find pride, shame, shock, and unworthiness. This is the earth level of dealing with life issues; your ego and pride filter how the emotions are handled. When you know that you have the mind of Christ and the Spirit of God leading, transformation of the emotions takes place, manifesting the love language of Christ in you to the world. Divine Love, Light, and Life unfold as Christ in you becomes how you move.  It deals with issues related to the hip, knee, foot, ankle, and thigh; all bodily functions originate from the pelvic area. “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:6).

The pelvic area is created for reproducing, but what are we reproducing? I'm using the word reproducing within yourself with the mind of Christ. Scripture tells us that out of our innermost being flows rivers of living water that are being circumcised by the heart. And then out of the heart the mouth speaks. “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). 

“A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of” (Luke 6:45).

When we move and have our being in Christ, our hands and feet are in motion according to the Holy Spirit, who lights our path and guides us toward healing—not only for ourselves but for the land He has given us. We reclaim the time that the enemy has stolen from us: our birthright, our community, our name, and our nature as part of the body of Christ Jesus on the earth today.
