 Pastor Gregory just started a new series titled: "Think Excellence and Live Effective". I will share with you what I have learned: if you put your mind on God, you will be in total peace. That's right- total peace, but to obtain that total peace, your words must be connected to His word. Proverbs 4:5 tells us: "Get wisdom; develop good judgement. Don't forget my words or turn away from them". You are either creating or destroying your world with the words that you say.
Proverbs 10:21 tells us: "The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of wisdom". God is trying to teach us how to walk in His purpose and not to go in the opposite direction. He wants us to have this gift, the gift of life. You and I can have this gift of life by coming to Him by our own free will and by confessing with our mouth that He has died for us on the cross. If you and I do not recognize that we need a savior, we will never find salvation. God gave us salvation and a savior named Jesus. Not one of us are righteous on our own. We become righteous by putting our faith in Jesus Christ. We need to ask God to help us become conscious of our wrong doing. We have to confess to the Father. We cannot stay the same. You and I were created to bring Him pleasure. You are God's property - which means you have been redeemed cleansed and sanctified! That's a reason to shout right there! Hallelujah!

 What an awesome teaching Pastor Gregory has been doing titled "Change Your Inner Self, Your Old Way Of Thinking". You may ask, "How do I do that?" We can accomplish this when we give up our old way of thinking and put on the new way of thinking and that is the Word of God. In Romans 1:1, Paul identified himself as a bond servant or a slave for Christ. Now slave is a word that we don't like using. There are things in our lives that may be enslaving us. What is it that is consuming your strength and taking away from you spending time with your Heavenly Father?
It is so important for us to know our identity in Christ. We should be submitted and committed to the mind of God. If you want to succeed, you must think like your Father thinks. To get our mind renewed, we must start by giving thanks. In Matthew 14:19-20, Jesus gave thanks for a miracle that was about to happen. He knew His Father would bring provision. And He did! He super sized His request. We don't have to wait. We need to have an attitude of gratitude. We should give thanks BEFORE the result comes and not wait until it happens. In Romans 1:25, they exchanged the truth for a lie. If we exchange what God has for us for a lie, we will never see God's manifestation. God will not release to us what we do not deserve. What we need to do is hear and retain the truth so that we will be able to release it. We need to change our thinking and direction of our life. We do that with the truth of God. Don't be afraid to ask God for the truth. If you have an open heart and give an ear to hear, God will answer you. |
