***USE YOUR MIND***

*PASTOR CHRIS*
MONDAY, JULY 21ST, 2014.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12:2).

The focus of Romans chapter 12 is the subject of thoughts— the use of your mind. Your mind is an instrument given
to you by God to improve your life from glory to glory. You have to see first in your mind the things you desire
for your life, and create them.
Thoughts are pictures of the mind that have power and create realities.
The quickest way to affect your
thoughts is through mental pictures.
Every man is the character of his thoughts. Your mind can make you poor or make you rich; it can put you in the place of glory or in a place of
dishonour. The Bible tells us about Lazarus, a righteous man who was a beggar (Luke 16:20-21). When he died, he was carried by the angels to
Abraham's bosom, but he lived and died a beggar, not because that was his destiny, but because that was his
mind-set.
Romans 12:3 says God has given to everyone the measure of faith; so it’s about what you do with your faith. If
Lazarus had projected himself in faith, envisioning his rich heritage as the seed of Abraham, he wouldn't have
remained poor.
Use your mind to focus, and project yourself to your next greater level.
However, don't disdain or berate others who're yet to attain your level of reasoning. Don’t compare yourself with them; rather, understand that
each of us is at a different level of faith, and gifted differently.
How do you think? Jesus often
challenged the Jews to think right. Use your mind correctly, to picture your glorious and victorious life in Christ.

CONFESSION:
My mind is anointed to think right, being the mind of Christ. I think excellent thoughts, and I only see pictures of excellence, success, victory,
and abundance. I focus my mind on things that are true, honest, just, pure,lovely, of good report,virtuous and praise worthy. Halleluiah!

FURTHER STUDY:
Luke 6:45 (CEV) Good people do good things because of the good in their hearts, but bad people do bad things because of the evil in their hearts.
Your words show what is in your heart.
Philippians 4:8 (CEV) Finally, my friends, keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, & proper. Don't ever stop thinking about
what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise.
