It's A Mind Game Life

By Deborah Brown

Growing up, all we had to do was our chores and do good in school, and half of us couldn't do that. Our parents kept things from us because it wasn't for us. Later on in my life, as we became teens, our parents shared current events. One day, my dad said he was going to write a book; this book was called It's a Mind Game: the Man within the Man by Sampson Brown Jr. I connected and started reading it, and before I knew it, I was relating to some parts of the book that was inspired by the power of positive thinking and the million-dollar secret hiding in your mind books. My book will teach you how to recognize and live the mind game if you want to see goodness. They need to make the change from negative to positive, and you don't have to change the government, just yourself. I dedicate this book to my children, grands, family, and friends.

About the Author

Idedicate this book to all my family and hope it is as enjoyable to read as it was for me to write it. The stories in this book are true, and I was inspired by a book my father wrote called It's a Mind Game, the Man within the Man .

The Fence

This is a story about a fallen angel who journeyed from heaven to the world of knowledge and all the adventures and events she experienced while there and how she got back on track to the journey back home. This angel was so determined not to get caught up in life's adventures that she even ignored her way back. It's all about the fence that separated heaven from hell. God's warning to all was touch not the fence because it will suck you in. Enjoy the rest of the story.

One day, this angel was sitting by the dividing fence. She sat there every day, dreaming about what could be on the other side of the fence. Then a man walked up to her and said, I see you at this fence every day. I often wonder what makes you come here.

Then she said out of curiosity, I wonder why they put a fence up that would suck you in.

The man responded, A fence doesn't suck people in. Rather, it divides and protects. Then he left.

With such a response, she started thinking, Well, maybe my Father didn't know that. Obviously, she touched the fence, and nothing happened. Then she said, He's right. It doesn't suck you in.

Apparently, every day, she came to the fence. She would touch it, but nothing ever happened. Thereafter, she wondered, if she climbed this fence, would she be able to explore the other side and put an end to her wonders? The next day, she climbed it and climbed back real fast and discovered another myth. Nothing happened when she climbed, and nothing happened when she touched it. She became more curious than ever to explore the other side of the world.

In order for her to better explore the other side, she walked through the forest and the trees and saw a town with houses, buses, cars, people, buildings, and so on. As she approached closer to this town, it was busy, loud, and congested. She was so excited and overwhelmed with what she saw and thought her Father would be proud of her because she had discovered that the story about the fence wasn't true. So she headed back toward the fence when she heard this voice say, Where do you think you're going?

She then stopped, looked around, and saw nothing. She started to walk again, and the voice said, I asked you where do you think you're going?

She responded, To tell my Father about this town that's on the other side of the fence where I live.

And the voice said, No, I don't think so.

She became a little scared, thinking perhaps she could get stuck in the other side, so she started to run toward the fence. Unfortunately, she couldn't find it. She then asked, Where is the fence? The voice didn't respond, so she cried out to her Father, saying, God, help me. I am on the other side of the fence, and now I can't find it.

God responded, Didn't I tell you not to touch that fence because it would suck you in?

She said, But it didn't suck me in. I even climbed it, and nothing happened.

God said, It didn't?

She said, No. I even found a town down further with people in it.

You think you're the only one who has set out to prove the fence to be a myth?

She stood there thinking, and she realized that all the people in that town had climbed the fence and got stuck. Oh my goodness, she said. Now I know what you meant when you said it would suck you in. It would keep you curious until you climb it. Now what do I do?

God said, Well, you are now in the world of knowledge, and you will have to survive the world of knowledge and get to the boat that will take you through the storms of life. And if you make it to the other side, the angels will greet you and bring you back home. I must now give you a family in the world of knowledge to help you through. I know you can make it because you're one of my strongest warriors.

She said,. Well, who was the voice that spoke unkindly to me?

He said, It was the Prince of Darkness, better known as Satan down there on earth, and the more you learn about him, the harder it will be for you to get back. I will fight the flesh for you, but you need to activate your spirit so he can't clock your every move. The world of knowledge is a corrupted world, full of problems and plenty of knowledge. To survive it, you will have to be corrupted, and after you learn it, you must master it and then make a hard choice because you can become so comfortable because of the time frame you may decide to make the wrong choice, and that would be a problem, but I'm here for you, whenever you call.

She said, Are you mad at me?

God said, No, my child, because I made you in my image. I would expect you to be curious.

So she was placed in a family with five sisters, three brothers, two mothers, two fathers, three grandmothers, and two grandfathers. Adjusting to a new family was quite an experience for her because she had to learn how to love them, not fault them, not judge but them protect them and still love them. She managed to survive all that. Now she's older and still hadn't found this boat. So she met a guy, had two children of her own, grandchildren, and guess what? She saw the boat, got on it, and saw all these people on it as well.

She said, Wow! How long have you all been on the boat?

A voice answered, For some time now.

She asked, Well, why didn't you move through the tunnel of life?

A voice answered, Because we were scared.

She then said, Well, with just a mustard seed of all your faith along with mine, we can move this boat. Don't be scared because my Father will help you.

When they got to the other side, the boat started moving. She became tired and dozed off, but then she realized the boat had stopped, and when she looked around, she was the only one on it.

She said, God, the boat has stopped, and no one's on it.

Then God said, There never was any one on it. That was another one of Satan's tricks. The reason the boat moved was because of your faith, and when you went to sleep without asking for coverage, your faith slept with you. Now you're at the beginning of the tunnel of the storm of life. When you start through, don't look back because the past is just words now, nor will visions appear.

As she went through the storm, she was scared and lonely, afraid death was going to catch her. She now was alone; both parents had passed on. All grandparents were gone, and the only person left was her sibling. The devil is trying to use them to get to her. So she prayed for protection for her surviving parent, children, grandchildren, and herself. The road through life was rougher than she thought, but she never gave up or gave in. She just stayed focused on getting to the other side.

She would write her version of Adam and Eve, saying God created man for Himself because He wanted a family and put him in charge of the upkeep of the garden. Man could go anywhere in the garden except the tree of knowledge. God created Eve for Adam's company, and Adam told Eve about the tree of knowledge. So one day, Eve was in the garden alone, and the serpent spoke to her.

She responded, I can't talk to you, or I'll die.

Then the serpent responded, Well, you're not dead, and you just spoke to me.

So she realized he was telling the truth, so she went to tell Adam, but Adam was adamant and reminded her God said don't eat from the tree of knowledge because you will die.

Eve said, That's not true. I did, and I'm not dead. Come see for yourself.

So Adam went to the tree and talked to the serpent, and when he became knowledgeable, he realized that they were naked and hid.

So God asked, Why are you hiding? Actually, before Adam could answer, God knew why he was hiding. God was furious with the serpent and disappointed in Adam because the tree of knowledge carried death, and God wasn't a liar, so Adam and Eve had to die, but He forgave them and let them live a long time before they died. The serpent, on the other hand, was angry because God had created Adam and Eve for His family and not him.

So after all of Satan's tricks and changes, he put her on the boat. She went through the tunnel of life, survived it, and was now where God could reach her. Instead of taking her home, He wanted to use her by trying to show others who had set out to prove their will, to let them see Him working in her life.

When you know God, your life will change for the better, and you will see it. The reason I didn't get along with some of my family was because I divided them, and when my mom passed, the person who was punishing me no longer had anything on me and her shield fell and she had nothing left but to call troops because I was where she didn't want me to be and they couldn't stop me now if they tried. When you gain a special relationship with God, you will know because you will tell others of His powers, but if you don't have a personal relationship with him, then you won't know how to connect. And what you said He can do will only work if you have a relationship with Him. This is my opinion.

You must follow these rules to get a relationship with Him. Learn it, master it, plan it. Think about your master plan and learned, then you act on it, imagine it, dream about it. And after you dream about it, then you believe in it and before you know it, it's there right in front of you. This is about me, my opinion

Just like light and darkness can't share the same space, neither can some of us. So we have to be able to see over unnecessary mess which brings me to this point. If you don't challenge life's obstacles, then you're never going to get anywhere. They aren't going to stop coming; they were meant to be. They are a part of life. You didn't get this far in life by hiding, so don't start now. When you get up in the morning, doing it in the name of Jesus, try rebuking Satan. That doesn't mean he's not going to come after you because he will. The only difference when you rebuke him in the name of Jesus is he can't enter your thoughts because he's blocked. The only thing he can toss at you are life's obstacles. I want to teach you something. When you learn to love with the mind, if you don't know what you're doing, you will damn yourself. See, I learned that the devil has only as much power as you give him. And by you not rebuking him, you will end up like me. I was on the other side, wondering what they were going to do to me next.

So my mom said, Deborah, I need you to do me a favor, and that is to love your sisters and brothers, and I promise you, you'll be all right. Then she went to sleep.

I was ready for any and everything, angry as hell. I came troops with myself when my sister gave me a letter my mom wrote to me thirteen years ago. When I read that letter, I cried. For thirteen years, I felt my mom didn't care too much for me, so when she was on her last wing and prayer, I sheltered her from my sister. And when I was alone with her, she was so happy, and when she closed her eyes for the last time, I felt good because I felt I made up for those thirteen years of absence, and I really felt better. I did not have hate for my sister because even though she claimed her spot with the family, so did I, able to do so for the first time, and that was because no one was able to touch me no longer. I relieved myself of all that mind love that opened the doors of revenge, hate, payback, lying, and manipulation. Then the doors to my heart swung open, and everything I was denied in the past has come to pass with me. Even though my heart knows of love with the mind, it doesn't adopt it because it's not about anything but what God wants. And now that I work for Him, I get my pay on time, and He pays time and a half plus overtime, and my pay's guaranteed.

When I want to relax, all I do is take a deep breath, counting in my head: Inhale up to four, hold your breath to seven, exhale to eleven. Do that four times with your eyes closed, then squeeze your eyes real tight till you see a yellow or white light. Release the hold, and that should turn black, then concentrate on what you want. Then pray silently to yourself. Fast from sunrise to sunset, then eat. Do this for three days. I bet you'll feel better. This is my experience, and it worked for me.

You should buy a tablet and write your prayers to God. Write the time and the date you wrote the prayer. When you get an answer, write it down with the date and the time He answered. The more you write Him, the closer you will be to Him. Name your book God and Me.

The Best of Both Worlds—to the Young Men in Our Family Circle

This is a story on how to make choices that count and recognize your calling. Will you pass or fail? You are your own judge. Enjoy.

Life comes with choices and no instruction or direction. Now before we were created to life, we were first created in the mind of God. Where do all these problems come from if we were created in God's mind first? In God's mind, things are pure, perfect, unchallenging. But you are now born into a world of corruption. This is where the choices come in. Remember that we were born in the image of God. There is nothing out there we can't handle, especially when we try it, so that's why His expectation of us is so high because He knows each and every one of us and what we are capable of doing.

When we came through the birth canal into the world of knowledge, when we entered it, there was no instruction or direction as to how we are to survive life. That's where our parents come in; it's the way our parents teach us. We were born into a world of corruption and dictation and violence, and in order to survive it, we must become a part of its corruption. Once you understand it and learn it, then you have to master what you learned and move on. In order to be
