Change Your Mind
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST – BIGGER VISION FOR YOUR LIFE – a mind that is in sync with Jesus - How can we develop the mind of Christ? Here are a few ways:
1. RENEW YOUR MIND. (Romans 12:2) This begins in the secret place with Jesus every day.
2. REMAIN IN JESUS. (John 15:5) – if you want to have his mind, you must remain in his flow – don’t just come to Jesus, REMAIN in Jesus. This is the key to the POWER Paul talks about – it is in the secret place that he will reveal the mystery of God’s plan and the role you play
3. REJECT THE LIES. (2 Corinthians 10:5) – this means every time you have a thought contrary to the way of Jesus, you don’t feed it, you starve it – take it captive, isolate it, make it obedient to Jesus -
4. RECEIVE THE TRUTH. (Philippians 4:8)Dwelling on the right things – Psalm119:11, Hiding God’s word in your heart – TRUTH SETS FREE – John 8:32
5. RELY ON OTHER CHRIST-FOLLOWERS. (Ecclesiastes 4:12) – We need each other. Here is the important part – we are looking for commonality in the wrong places – not political or social – that is the WISDOM of the WORLD – we need followers of Jesus to be diligent in pursuit of the mind of Christ, and inviting others into community around the things of God
There are a lot of chained up elephants in the room that Jesus wants to activate – When Jesus changes your mind, you will find, more powerful than you can ever imagine - you WILL live into your Ephesians 2:10 calling –REJECT the lie and rip up the stake so you can run free in the Kingdom of God.
