SET YOUR MIND

After my last blog I hope that you are now speaking to yourself.

 

Now it's time to set your mind. How do you do that? Just like you would set your radio or TV. Choose where you want it to be & leave it there. Let's name where we want to be as the God Channel. Colossians 3:2 says "Set your mind on things above not on things of the earth."

 

This is a choice that you will have to make multiple times every day because your mind has an automatic reset to the "Earth Channel".

To do this you will need to:

In His wisdom I RECOGNIZE the origin of the thought. Does it condemn & tear down, or does it encourage & inspire?  (James 1:5)

Through His power I REFUSE to accept a negative thought that is contrary to the word of GOD.  (II Corinthians 10:5)                                                        

By His authority I RECKON myself as dead to sin. My true desire is to please GOD and turn from sin. I am now dead to sin, so just like a dead man I can't react to it.  (Romans 6:11)

 

In His grace I REST in the assurance that I am in Christ and He is in me. He has defeated the enemy once and for all. The devil has no power over me unless I choose to give it to him. (Isaiah 26:3)

 

The more we do this the easier it becomes. Eventually our emotions also begin to come in line, and learn that the truth is who we know not what we see.
