A Transformed Mind

A TRANSFORMED MIND

ROMANS 12:2

KING EXCERPT . . .

RESTATE . . .

PAUL – ROMANS 12:2 . . .

IT’S WORTH STATING AGAIN . . . ENEMY – MIND . . .

WHEN I REFLECT BACK OVER MY LIFE – TROUBLE . . . NOT BECAUSE OF MY BODY – FAILED TO CONTROL MY MIND.

PEER PRESSURE . . .

JAM – RELINQUISHED CONTROL – MIND

DEBT – SALESMAN – CONTROL YOUR MIND

PAUL – ROMANS – A RENEWED MIND IS A POWERFUL TOOL TO POSSESS. A RENEWED MIND – BODY – HERE – MIND – SEE MEN OVER THERE.

LIVING HERE . . .

DRIVING THIS NOW . . .

EARNING MINIMUM WAGE . . .

HAS YOUR BODY EVER BEEN IN ONE PLACE . . .

EZEKIEL, STEPHEN, JOHN THE BELOVED REVELATOR, KNEW WHAT EXPERIENCE IT WAS TO HAVE YOUR BODY IN ONE PLACE . . .

EZEKIEL 1:1 – READ AND PARAPHRASE . . .

EZEKIEL 37 – VALLEY OF DRY BONES . . .

ACTS 7:55-56 – STEPHEN – STONED – LOOKED UP (TEXT) . . .

REVELATION 1:9-10 JOHN THE REVELATOR – ISLE OF PATMOS . . .

EZEKIEL, STEPHEN, PAUL, JOHN THE REVELATOR, AND MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. ALL REMIND US THAT HAVING YOUR BODY ENSLAVED IN ONE PLACE DOES NOT DEMAND THE ENSLAVEMENT OF YOUR MIND.

MY BODY IS HERE NOW – MIND – THERE.

WHAT MUST I DO TO CONNECT THE TWO?

YOU MUST HAVE A DREAM

EVERYTHING . . . BEGAN/BEGINS WITH A DREAM, IDEA, OR CONCEPT.

CONCEPT – CONCEPTION – BEGINNING OF SOMETHING HAPPENING.

NEIGHBOR – GET A DREAM.

DREAM – HELPS US PRIORITIZE AND GIVES US DIRECTION – WHERE TO GO.

YOGI BERRA – IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING .. . “

A DREAM REMINDS US THAT IF YOU MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION OTHER THAN TOWARD YOUR DREAM, YOU’LL MISS OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

DREAM – FIRST STEP IN MAKING SOMETHING HAPPEN.

I THINK THERE’S SOME PEOPLE HERE THIS MORNING – I HAVE TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN THIS YEAR. SOMETHING HAS TO BREAK FOR ME, BREAKTHROUGH – THIS YEAR . . .

BREAKING POINT STARTS WITH A DREAM.

IN OTHER WORDS – MOMMA – CHILD . . .

WATER – BREAK, UNLESS THERE HAS BEEN A CONCEPTION.

JOSEPH – KING – DREAM.

THERE’S A DREAM INSIDE EACH OF US WAITING TO BE BIRTHED, DISCOVERED, AND LIVED. A VISION DEEP DOWN INSIDE THAT SPEAKS TO OUR VERY SOUL. THE THING WE WERE BORN TO DO. OUR PURPOSE IN LIFE.

YOU MUST HAVE DETERMINATION FOR YOUR DREAM

IT TAKES HUNGER, COMMITMENT, TENACITY, AND DETERMINATON TO SEE A DREAM THROUGH TO BECOME A REALITY.

LOOK BEYOND YOUR CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES

. . . DIDN’T QUITE PICTURE IN YOUR DREAM

JOSEPH . . .

NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF YOUR DREAM DESPITE THE DIFFICULTIES.

LET OPPOSITION WORK AS A REFINERY . . .

ESCAPE FROM HABIT . . .

YOU MUST DISMANTLE DOUBT TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAM

EVEN IF YOUR DREAM IS NOT ACCEPTED BY OTHERS . . .

BELIEVE IN YOUR OWN ABILITY TO SUCCEED (PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS . . .)

SACRIFICE . . .

HENRY FORD – DETROIT MOTOR COMPANY – 1903 – FORD MOTOR CO. . . .

SACRIFICE – JOB . . .
