^“Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn’t think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn’t claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion.”

If someone were to ask you that question, what would be your immediate response?  More than likely, everyone would emphatically reply NO!  But if we were to take an inventory of our lives- today - would our “walk” be in alignment with our “talk”.

Basically “schizo”; without getting into too much detail; is a mental disorder that makes it extremely difficult and sometimes impossible for a person to tell the difference between what is real and not real; to think clearly; to have normal emotional responses; and act normally in social situations.

So, think about your daily walk.  Then consider the following;

1.     In the realm of the Spirit…would it be a plus or a negative to be a schizo?

2.     Can I readily make the distinction between what is real and “temporal”?

3.     Do I display on a regular basis wherever I go the character qualities of who I really am? Or am I still double minded, perpetrating a fraud and an undercover Saint?

Schizophrenia is also categorized as a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disorder that has affected people throughout history.   If we are going to make an impact and persevere in these last days, we will need the endtime wisdom, to strategically comprehend our mission of walking by faith and not by sight – a principle that first requires a “disengaging” of our current mind set.  We must encounter a “disabling brain disorder” that will permit us to be governed by the Holy Spirit; rather that by the ordinances of this world’s systems, boundaries and limitations  - which have been programmed into our minds.

Therefore, to be classified as a schizophrenic in the natural would afford me the opportunity to be viewed from an extremely negative perspective.   However, what about in the realm of the Spirit????   “Think” (not with your natural mind!) about your response prior to affirming any conclusions! Prayerfully consider James chapter 1.
