The 36 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 3: only positive mindset is a godly mindset. Thoughts are not harmless, 37 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,839 Speaker 3: they are powerful. This world is not just a physical one. 38 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: It is a spiritual world as well, and in the 39 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,119 Speaker 3: spiritual realms, forces of evil and good battle for supremacy 40 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 3: over your mind. The choice of which influence you live 41 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 3: under is yours. God has literally given you the power 42 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: to control life and death in your own body and 43 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: to affect the physical world around you. You exercise this 44 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 3: power through the mindset. You choose to dictate your thoughts. 45 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: For whatever your mind ruminates on is manifested in your 46 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 3: life through your actions. If your thoughts dwell on the 47 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: pleasures and desires of the flesh, your acts will follow suit. 48 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 3: If your thoughts dwell on holy things and on godly desires, 49 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 3: your acts will follow suit. If your thoughts are controlled 50 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 3: by your sinful self, then will produce death, both spiritually 51 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 3: and physically. However, if your thoughts are led by God's spirit, 52 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 3: your actions will produce good fruit both in your spiritual 53 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 3: and physical life. I know it sounds easy in theory 54 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 3: and seems hard to do, but as with all things, 55 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:29,559 Speaker 3: practice makes perfect. The more you put this principle into practice, 56 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: the easier it will become to continue doing so. Perhaps 57 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 3: you are currently struggling with this, Perhaps you find yourself 58 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 3: surrounded by death and searching for life. This is your 59 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 3: opportunity to present yourself before the Lord. Confess your sins 60 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 3: to God and ask him to minister to your mind, body, 61 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 3: and soul. Take a moment to thank God for his 62 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 3: Holy spirit. Thank God that his word is truth, that 63 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 3: it is constant and does not change. Thank God that 64 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: He is who he says he is. Thank God for 65 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: sending you his own Holy Spirit, through whom he grants 66 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: you the power to change your mentality. Thank the Holy 67 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: Spirit for having loved you in spite of all the 68 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 3: times you hurt him, and for continuously working God's transformative 69 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 3: grace into your life. Never forget God is present and 70 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 3: he is listening to you. Come before Him and ask 71 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 3: Him for a godly mindset. Ask the Holy Spirit to 72 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 3: kill your carnal mentality. Ask the Holy Spirit to renew 73 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 3: your mind as you read his word. Ask the Holy 74 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 3: Spirit for you to know him. Ask to be overwhelmed 75 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: by him, and for his presence to overtake your art. Remember, 76 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 3: if a person's thinking is controlled by the sinful self, 77 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 3: then there is death. But if your thinking is controlled 78 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 3: by the Spirit of God, then there is life and 79 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 3: there is peace. Do not fear. God has already given 80 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: you his Holy Spirit to transform you through the renewing 81 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 3: of your mind. So choose to yield to God and 82 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 3: to change the way you think. Choose life and choose 83 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 3: peace for this day and for all the ones to come, 84 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: Thank you for completing today's meditative prayer on pray dot com. 85 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 3: By incorporating this healthy habit as a daily practice, you 86 00:06:48,240 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 3: are making prayer a priority and strengthening your walk with God.
