"faith has supreme power over the human mind."
Our Apostle Paul says we need >
"faith working through love" > in Galatians 5:6.
So, yes faith can have great power over the human mind.
But, like I say, "they" did not mention Jesus. And do we have faith which is connected with how God's love works in us and our lives?
There are people who talk so much about how faith and God's word can get things for you an individual, but they do not say how in Christ we are being conformed to the image of Jesus . . . by being perfected in God's own love curing our character >
"Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world." (1 John 4:17)
This does not say we have boldness because we think it and claim it, but because God has changed us in our character so we are like His own Son Jesus. And this, I would say, is the main focus of Biblical ministry, as Paul our example says > Colossians 1:28-29.
Ones can talk so much about how faith can get you your miracle in your life, but they do not talk about how we as God's family minister grace (1 Peter 4:9-10) to one another, so we are being changed to become how Jesus is. But, instead, ones only talk about what label to put on yourself, and how to get God to do things for you.
"A philosopher once said, as I think, I am. It is, as you believe or have faith, you are."
Yes, God's word says,
"as he thinks in his heart, so is he" > in Proverbs 23:7.
Satan thought he was great. But what mattered was his intentions, and what he was trying to do about what he thought of himself.
Peter boasted how he was so loyal to Jesus, but he failed and denied Jesus three times.
So, we need to think what is true, plus do what God has us doing about it.
And if my thinking has me mainly about myself and who I am . . . this can be isolating me to be my own god, possibly.
Jesus has us sharing and functioning as family, helping one another, caring about others being blessed as much as ourselves being blessed. Plus He warns us against picking and choosing whom we prefer love >
"For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?" > in Matthew 5:46.
We can pick and choose whom we want to use to get our treasure pleasures, in which case our preference is really for pleasure and security for keeping it.
So, does our faith work by means of God's all-loving love in us? Does faith have us being changed by God into the image of Jesus so we are loving the way Jesus on the cross was loving with hope for any person, at all? Love
"hopes all things", we have in 1 Corinthians 13:7. Jesus on the cross had faith for what is possible with God for any and all people, even the most evil. And we are commanded to love like Christ on the cross > this is a Bible basic of how we become and love, because of
"faith working through love" >
"And walk in love, as Christ has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma." (Ephesians 5:2)
Yes, Jesus on the cross shows how God loves us unconditionally; and this is our example required also for us . . . so commanded
Jesus growing in our hearts shares this with us so we become and love like Jesus.
We do not get here, just by juke-boxing God with money seeds and thoughts about ourselves. God's thoughts toward us are without number (Psalm 40:5) and often better than we have been thinking about getting and doing (1 Corinthians 2:9, Ephesians 3:20-21, 1 Timothy 3:14)
In His Sermon on the Mount, right away Jesus starts with . . . how to be . . . in our character . . . not what label to think and to put on ourselves >
"poor in spirit"
"meek"
"merciful"
"pure in heart"
