Pastor Chris’s Teaching on the Power of the Mind
At the recent Jesus Alive Conference with Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and Pastor Benny Hinn, participants were taken on a life-changing journey into the power of the human mind.
Pastor Chris, speaking under the direction of the Holy Spirit, emphasized how our thoughts shape our spiritual experience and walk with God. It wasn’t just a sermon—it was a deep revelation for every believer.
The Mind and the Voice of God
In his message, Pastor Chris highlighted a vital truth: not everyone who claims to hear from God actually does. Many, he explained, are simply quoting what is already in their minds and not what the Spirit of God has revealed. This distinction is crucial. He noted that some people, including ministers, may struggle to believe God speaks today because their own experience has been limited to mental reasoning.
When Pastor Chris shared this, it struck a chord with many. He explained that people often misunderstand when others say, “God spoke to me.” This misunderstanding stems from their own limitations in spiritual perception. However, actual spiritual growth only comes when a person accepts the Word of God beyond human reasoning. Believing in the voice of God is a matter of faith—and it requires a renewed mind.
“What does God see when He looks at your heart?”
Pastor Chris Teaches That God’s Promotion Is Different
The teaching continued with a powerful truth about promotion. Pastor Chris reminded the global audience that while men can promote you with positions and titles, only God’s promotion brings lasting spiritual results. When God lifts a person, there is a visible outcome—one that cannot be denied. It is not about recognition in the eyes of men but about transformation and fruitfulness in the Spirit.
He asked the audience an important question: “What does God see when He looks at your heart?” This question reminded everyone that God evaluates the condition of a person’s spirit. It’s not just about actions or words but about inner motives and thoughts.
This theme echoed throughout the message. Pastor Chris reminded believers that it matters how they hear the Word of God. The way we interpret what we hear directly affects our response and spiritual progress.
The Example of the Woman with the Issue of Blood
Using Scripture, Pastor Chris shared the example of the woman with the blood issue. Her story was more than a miracle—it was a testimony to the power of the mind. She had heard about Jesus and said to herself, “If I can just touch the hem of His garment, I’ll be healed.” Her miracle began in her mind. She saw herself healed, and she acted on it.
In contrast, Pastor Chris noted that others who heard of Jesus called Him a deceiver. The difference wasn’t in Jesus but in the minds of those who heard about Him. This is a powerful lesson: the mind either opens the door to faith or shuts it completely.
He explained that what we think when we hear God’s Word is a key part of our walk with Christ. If our minds are filled with faith, we will move in line with God’s plan. But suppose we let doubts and negative reasoning take over. In that case, we can unknowingly rebel against the very Word meant to bless us.
Pastor Chris on Thinking Like God
In another remarkable moment of the message, Pastor Chris urged believers to align their thoughts with the Word of God. He said, “Your thoughts can help you in your journey of faith, or they can lead you in rebellion.” This wasn’t just a warning—it was an invitation to think higher, to let God’s Word become the standard of our minds.
He reminded everyone that our thoughts matter. When Jesus is present, what do we think? Do we think of healing, peace, and power? Or do we doubt and hesitate? The answer reveals the posture of our mind.
By renewing our minds through God’s Word, we can think like that woman of faith. We can take steps of bold belief, knowing that the Lord honors faith-filled thoughts and actions. According to Pastor Chris, a mind shaped by the Spirit is a powerful tool for advancing the Kingdom.
A Call to Mind Renewal
This teaching from the Jesus Alive Conference was more than words—it was a call to action. Pastor Chris challenged every believer to evaluate their thoughts and shift their minds toward truth. Spiritual victories are not only won in prayer or fasting but often begin in the mind.
As Pastor Chris emphasized during the conference, we are responsible for what we allow into our thoughts. Faith starts in the heart but is carried and expressed through the mind. When we allow God’s Word to govern our thinking, we position ourselves for divine encounters.
Pastor Chris’s teaching on the power of the mind was yet another deep well of wisdom. Through it, lives were transformed, and minds were renewed—all to the glory of God.
