40
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 3: Godly mindset is a choice, the choice you have to

41
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: make every day. God created you as an individual. He

42
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: gave you choices and the ability to choose.

43
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: To obtain a.

44
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: Godly mindset, you must choose Christ. In choosing Christ, your

45
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: aim becomes Heaven and not the things on earth.

46
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: Therefore, if you are in.

47
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: Christ, your thoughts should be heavenly thoughts. Your focus should

48
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: no longer be on the worries and preoccupation of the world. Instead,

49
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: you should be continually looking to God and focusing on Him.

50
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: Is it tough?

51
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: Of course it is, But a heavenly mindset requires constant cultivation.

52
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,320

53
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: and allow God to speak to your heart concerning your

54
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: current mental state. Perhaps you've been living with some pretty.

55
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: Dark thoughts a worldly mindset.

56
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: Perhaps you need to let go of your old sinful

57
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: way of living.

58
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: And focus on Christ.

59
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 3: To get rid of that stinking thinking. This is your

60
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: opportunity to present yourself before the Lord. Confess to the

61
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: Lord Jesus your sins, ask him to forgive you and

62
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: cleanse you, to renew your mind. I hope you'll take

63
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: just a few moments to dwell on the goodness of God.

64
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: Thank the Lord for his faithfulness. Take him moment and

65

Speaker 3: Thank God for his Holy Spirit who manifests a godly

67
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: mindset within you.

Speaker 2: Thank the Holy Spirit who.

69
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: Renews your mind through God's word. Thank him for ministering

70
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: God's truth into your heart. Thank God, because in his love,

71
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: and through his grace you can do all things. Help

72
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: you know that God is present and that he's listening

73
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: to you. You know, the Bible says, ask and it

74
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: shall be given unto you. So ask the Holy Spirit

75
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: to help you cultivate a godly mindset. Ask him to

76
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: renew your mind as you read the Bible, focus on Christ.

77
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: Ask him to remove your carnal mentality and to put

78
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: a desire within your heart for the things of heaven. Remember,

79
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 3: those who belong to Christ are to think on the

80
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 3: things in heaven, not the things on earth. Of course,

81
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: this is not an automatic process or a spontaneous occurrence.

82
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: You have to.

83
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 3: Choose to set your mind on godly things and choose

84
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 3: to cultivate a spiritual mindset in Christ. You must be

85
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: vigilant to not allow carnal thoughts sinful desires.

86
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: To dominate your mind.

87
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 3: Instead, invite the Holy Spirit.

88
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: To flood your mind, to fill your heart.

89
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: Ask him to be present in all you do and

90
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: everywhere you go. Do this, and I think you'll begin

91
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 3: to see God change your mindset from negativity to positivity,

92
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: from death to life.

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