Speaker 2: Having a Godly mindset is a choice, the choice you

43
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: have to make every day. God created you as an individual.

44
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: He gave you choices and the ability to choose.

45
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:18,960

46
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 2: Godly mindset, you must choose Christ. In choosing Christ, your

47
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: aim becomes Heaven and not the things on earth.

48
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 3: Therefore, if you are in.

49
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: Christ, your thoughts should be heavenly thoughts. Your focus should

50
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: no longer be on the worries and preoccupation of the world. Instead,

51
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: you should be continually looking to God and focusing on Him.

52
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: Is it tough?

53
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: Of course it is, But a heavenly mindset requires constant cultivation.

54
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: You must strive to maintain it. Stop for a second

55
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: and allow God to speak to your heart concerning your

56
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: current mental state. Perhaps you've been living with some.

57
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: Pretty dark thoughts a worldly mindset.

58
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: Perhaps you need to let go of your old sinful

59
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: way of living.

60
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: And focus on Christ.

61
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: To get rid of that stinking thinking. This is your

62
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: opportunity to present yourself before the Lord. Confess to the

63
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: Lord Jesus your sins, ask him to forgive you and

64
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: cleanse you, to renew your mind. I hope you'll take

65
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: just a few moments to dwell on the goodness of God.

66
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,080

69
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 2: mindset within you. Thank the Holy Spirit who renews your

00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: mind through God's word. Thank him for ministering God's truth

71
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 2: into your heart. Thank God, because in his love, and

72
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: through his grace you can do all things. Help you

73
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: know that God is present and that he's listening to you.

74
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: You know, the Bible says, ask and it shall be

75
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: given unto you. So ask the Holy Spirit to help

76
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: you cultivate a godly mindset. Ask him to renew your

77
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: mind as you read the Bible, focus on Christ. Ask

78
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: him to remove your carnal mentality and to put a

79
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: desire within your heart.

80
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: For the things of heaven.

81
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: Remember, those who belong to Christ are to think on

82
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: the things in heaven, not the things on earth. Of course,

83
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: this is not an automatic process or a spontaneous occurrence.

84
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: You have to choose to set your mind on godly

85
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: things and choose to cultivate a spiritual mindset in Christ.

86
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: You must be vigilant to not allow carnal thoughts sinful desires.

87
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: To dominate your mind. Instead, invite the Holy Spirit to

88
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: flood your mind, to fill your heart.

89
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: Ask him to be present in all you do and

90
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: everywhere you go. Do this, and I think you'll begin

91
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: to see God change your mindset from negativity to positivity,

92
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: from death to life.

93
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,760
