I try to tell you every week what God thinks of you
How beautiful you are in his sight
But when I tell you that, you hear it and that’s as far as it gets
It has to sink into your mind
Or you’ll always be what you think
Eph 4:17-24
Lets make some observation
Old man and New man
W
ho I was and who I am (expound)
How do I change my thinking - is in the
Spirit of my mind
We have to constantly be renewing our mind
C
hurch does more harm than good often
They say, "Just choose Jesus today your life will be different"
"Call on the Lord and you circumstances will change by tomorrow"
GET THE CART B4 THE HORSE-
You can get born again- filled w/spirit- speak in tongues- runaway
If marriage is goofed up- it’s stiff goofed up
kids goofed up- theyre still goofed up
broke today- you’re still broke
Being a Christian- don’t make you rich
You will have a new spirit- residence- new hope
You can’t just come to Jesus and It will all be alright
That’s the problem- people love hearing they’re going to heaven
Tell them it’s a journey, they have pray, seek, learn the word
Guy said to me “YOUNG MAN”- bad sign
Been thinking this way B4 you were born-
That’s a long time to be dumb
That is no justification- that don’t make it right
They thought for 150 years slavery was alright-
We judge by appearance- You might not like tatoos
I’m opposite - I see a guy in a suit- I cringe
I’m afraid to people I’m a preacher
Put on the new man- we often wear the old one
Romans 12:2 “be not conformed to this world, but be transformed..
We should daily be changing our minds- discuss changes in me
Husbands- think it’s alright to treat your wife that way
Alright to talk down- not listen- treat bad- rattle you tea glass
Wives- Jezebel spirit- won’t submit- hurting your husband, kids
We should be able to look at all these things- change our thinking
I wish preacher fix my wife, fix my husband,- fix my kid
THESE KIDS ARE DRIVING ME NUTS
They ain’t supposed to be driving at all-parent drive-That’s your problem
You’re bigger than they are
Your attitude will determine you altitude in the Kingdom
There is no place on the earth where there are no problems
God wants us to change how we see our problems
“Blessed is he who overcomes”
Colossians 3:1-4
Seek those things above- How?- vs.2 put my mind on it
We gotta start giving God our thoughts
Lord, I’m in this situation, what should it do?
Lord these people don’t like me, what do it do
“Overcome evil with good”
vs. 8-11- put away wrath etc….keep putting the old man back on
Quit thinking like we used to think-preacher, mom, dad
Fighting same problems- we don’t want to change our thinking
Isaiah 55:6-8
Heard a lot “turn from your wicked ways”
Also have to change our thoughts
Nowhere in the bible: order of service- songs- length- how to dress
Everybody thinks If Jesus was to walk in- sandals –robe
Then there are things that are in there, that people hate
Raising hands, clapping hands, dancing, laying hands on sick
Luke 6:39- everybody knows this verse-even sinners- cast stone
Do u wanna follow blind or see?
If you follow someone- will you end up where they go
Can I get a witness vs. 40 comes after 39
Vs.40 you will become whatever you’re being taught
If it’s wrong- we must be re-taught- be transformed
I don’t wanna listen to a man teach on marriage who don’t have kids/wife
Don’t want to hear a guy without kids Teach on being a father
You can’t even be a parent till you have a girl
If you’re having financial problems- friends broke
NEED NEW FRIENDS
James 3:1
Why did James say that?
What I share affects how you view the world
I better not be giving-lies, condemnation, guilt
Pastors/teachers must teach the truth
Don’t be led by the blind
Don’t be conformed to this world
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind
God’s begging you to get to know him in a new way
