<strong>Philippians</strong> 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your<br />
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.<br />
TRANSLATION HIGHLIGHTS<br />
There is a form of spiritual prosperity or peace that comes from attaining supergrace status. This<br />
spiritual prosperity does not automatically “happen” to all believers. You must reach supergrace<br />
to possess it. This supergrace spiritual prosperity is more excellent and is in a position of greater<br />
authority and rank (Attributive Participle) that all the thinking that is stored in the left lobe of<br />
your brain. It greatly surpasses human viewpoint thinking. This supergrace spiritual prosperity<br />
will guard the mentality of your soul (Gnomic Future tense) when certain prerequisites are met<br />
(Potential Indicative mood). What prerequisites am I talking about? This spiritual prosperity is<br />
part of supergrace status, so if you haven’t attained supergrace, you don’t have it.<br />
The amount of Bible doctrine required to reach supergrace is often called the “maximum<br />
saturation point.” It takes years of listening to qualified pastors and teachers, years of personal<br />
study, years of metabolization of what you have learned, and years of applying what you have<br />
metabolized to your daily life. There are no substitutes. There is no quick fix. There is no<br />
instantaneous enlightenment. This spiritual prosperity also guards your motivations in Christ<br />
Jesus, which means it protects (Latin: custodian) your mental attitude (Latin: intelligence) from<br />
departing from grace and wandering into some legalistic or antinomian heresy. This “guarding”<br />
is a military term for a sentinel over a garrison. This spiritual prosperity can be lost, but once<br />
supergrace has been reached, there is a form of protective function in place.<br />
The left lobe of the soul (nous) contains receptive comprehension and academic knowledge, none of<br />
which is ready to be applied to daily life. It is also occasionally classified as human viewpoint<br />
thinking. The right lobe of the soul (kardia) contains metabolized knowledge which is ready to be<br />
applied to daily life. It is also occasionally classified as divine viewpoint thinking. Spiritual<br />
prosperity only comes from right lobe thinking. You only reach supergrace status after years of<br />
consistent right lobe thinking, i.e., divine viewpoint. You do not conquer fear, worry or anxiety <strong>by</strong><br />
left lobe thinking; that is why spiritual prosperity greatly surpasses anything the left lobe of the brain<br />
can comprehend. Spiritual prosperity is not only derived from years of right lobe thinking, but it only<br />
protects the mentality of your soul and your mental attitude dynamics.<br />
REVELANT OPINIONS<br />
God's peace is able to produce exceedingly better results than human planning and it is far superior<br />
to any person's schemes for security and it is more effective for removing anxiety than any<br />
intellectual effort or power of reasoning. (Plummer) The two expressions could designate the<br />
<strong>Philippians</strong>’ minds (kardia) and the thoughts (noemata) that arise from them. But “noemata” seems<br />
to refer to the mind or the thinking faculty rather than the thoughts that are its product. The
