“We’ve been talking about the power of Yes. If we don’t say yes, we are saying no. When we say yes to the Father, our life will be turned upside down. We start becoming healed, we start becoming free. The more we say yes to Him the more He will reveal and do with us. He’ll be able to form us into what He has called us to be from the very foundation of the earth.

When going through life circumstances and God starts talking to me, I always try to find the root of what He’s trying to get too. I have a tendency to only look at the surface of issues in my life. I have learned to stop and ask God to show me the root of whatever circumstance I am in so I can get rid of the thing. Instead of holding on to it and going around the mountain several times until I finally figure it out.

One thing we all struggle with is connection with Him. Out of our mouth, comes the issues of our heart. We struggle to connect with the Father because we always try to just fix our mouth instead of getting to the root of what is in our heart. We need to say yes to God, and let Him fix our hearts, let him mold it into what and who He is. His love, His person and His original intention of who we are meant to be. When we do that, our mouth will fix itself.

We are the bride of Christ and He is our Bridegroom. His original intention for our connection with Him is RELATIONSHIP. You cannot outgive God. The more love you give to Him the more He will give it back to you. The supernatural love of the Father is for you! God loves you!” ~Pastor Eric Busteed

Pastor Eric is reminding us that saying YES to God is the doorway to transformation. When we say yes, God begins healing, freeing, and shaping us into who He designed us to be. But that transformation requires more than surface-level fixes — it requires letting God deal with the root of our struggles, not just the symptoms.

He challenges us to stop trying to “fix our mouth” and instead let God heal our hearts, because our words flow from what’s inside. True connection with God comes from relationship, not performance. And in that relationship, His love always outgives ours.

Proverbs 4:23 — “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Isaiah 64:8 — “We are the clay, You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.”
Revelation 19:7 — “Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”
1 John 4:8—"He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”

This week, take a moment to pause and ask God: “What root are You trying to reveal in me?” Then choose to say YES — not just with your words, but with your heart. Let Him shape, heal, and love you into who you were created to be.

Your yes has power. Your heart matters. And God’s love for you is endless.

“I have heard time and time again that the real battle in life is in our mind. Once we receive the revelation and truth that, as born-again Christians, we have the mind of Christ, everything changes. I have also heard we can be confident through these battles because the mind of Christ is more than powerful enough to make us victorious in every single one.

I used to think my wife was crazy and had lost her mind when she introduced me to God and to her church in Oklahoma, The Rock of Restoration. Today, it clicked. Yes, she did lose her mind, and praise God so have I.

You see, we’re no longer using our own minds, we are using the mind of Christ. This is what God was talking about in Romans 12. Renewing our mind and being born a new creation means we are gifted the mind of Christ. When we start living, speaking, and believing like Christ Jesus, the world does not understand and assumes we are losing it and are crazy.

I also have times that I need to remind myself of the full reality of being a born-again new creation. So yes, I lost my broken and insecure mind, and now I have the confident and whole mind of Christ.

When you accept Him as your Savior, you are immediately made whole in your body, mind, soul and spirit. You just need to train yourself to act like it and be overcomers through Christ Jesus.” ~Pastor Daniel Spillman

Pastor Daniel reminds us that the true battleground is our mind — but as believers, we don’t fight with our old, broken thoughts. We fight with the mind of Christ, a renewed, restored, and victorious mindset. When we surrender our old way of thinking, we step into the identity God intended: whole, confident, and victorious!

The world may not understand it, but transformation often looks like “losing your mind” — because you’re trading it for something far better.

Romans 12:2 — And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
1 Corinthians 2:16 — For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17 — Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

If you’re ready to let go of the old mindset and walk boldly in the life and mind of Christ, take a moment today to pray, ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. Or, if you already have, pray and take authority over your salvation and declare the battleground of your mind is a place of perfect peace because YOU belong to Jesus!

“Rest will come when we learn to trust God in the good and the bad situations. We lose rest by trying to control bad situations. When we find ourselves crippled by fear, it is because we don’t trust Him. The opposite of Faith is fear. You cannot have faith without trust. God has the best intentions for me and for you.

Jesus knew he was going to the cross, He knew he was going to get beat and die. He went to the Father in prayer and asked to be spared but followed his request for control in the situation with trust in God’s will for His life and death. That trust was Jesus saying ‘YES’! If that’s what Jesus did, that’s what we should be doing as well. Once you say ‘YES’ it’s kind of funny how quickly you’ll be tested. I was, and I heard God say, “Do you trust Me?”

God is moving us from religion to relationship. He is bringing us into something new as a body. Something that we may not understand or that may make us uncomfortable. This is why it is important to trust Him. If we don’t, we’ll be crippled by fear. Most of the things we are afraid of actually never happen.

Talk is cheap. Do you trust Him or not? Jesus Christ has already made a way for us to move through this life by dying on the cross. It is up to us to believe Him and trust that we will be okay. Our religious system has been failing. And that is okay because He is changing us into His Bride. We are His lover and He should be ours.” ~ Pastor Eric Busteed

Isaiah 26:3 — You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.
2 Timothy 1:7 — For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Revelation 19:7 — Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.

Pastor Eric is reminding us that trust is the doorway to rest. Fear grows where trust is absent, and control becomes our default when we forget who God is. Jesus Himself modeled the path. He acknowledged His pain. He brought His desire to the Father. He surrendered to God’s will. He trusted—even unto death.

That is the pattern Jesus modeled for every believer.

Pastor Eric also points to a powerful shift. God is moving His people from religion to relationship, from routine to intimacy, from fear to faith. When God leads us into something new, it may feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable—but trust is what carries us forward. Most of what we fear never happens. But everything God promises does.

Take a moment to ask yourself honestly: Do I trust Him? Say “YES” to God today—and step into the rest He offers.
