John 7:38
Some people don’t want rivers of living water
Many are happy where they are---WHAT IF THIS WAS
AVAILABLE TODAY
Tired of charismatics- FALL DOWN---FREAK OUT
3 things that affect society— BARNA
1. Celebrities
2. Movies
3. Sports
Notice Christians aren’t on that list---
Not in the TOP 29
We have no influence in the world at all---
WE”RE NOT INFLUENCING
Set on TBN- thinking they’re changing the world
Romans 8:5-8
So lets talking about the RENEWING OF OUR MINDS
That’s how we become effective- NOT – REP, DEM.
I believe satan has power to attack CHURCH---
Most problems---are in our MIND
1. You’re mind never stops
You’re having thoughts Right now- bible, Nails, bite mine, Holding hands, marriage, Cant believe she wore that---YOUR MIND NEVER STOPS
WE have so many thoughts----DON”T REMEMBER MOST
2. We have conditioned our mind- Trained to respond—How we’ve trained it
someone says, “YOU LOOK NICE TODAY”
realist- THANK YOU
Pessimist- Are you saying I usually don’t
Narcissist- Yes I do- Glad I’m not the only one- tell me more
Synic- trying to get me to work in CHILDRENS CHURCH
I DON”T HAVE TO …SERVE- TITHE- U DON’T—
no harvest- still saved
Introvert, talkative, out going, shy---
Our minds condition to respond like that
BUT THIS RIVER HAS LIVING WATERS—Holy SPIRIT
So if thoughts are leading to death----
they’re not of the SPIRIT
WE ARE HERE TO HAVE LIFE---
TREE OF KNOWLEDGE of GOOD AND EVIL-----TREE OF LIFE
God would rather us have LIFE-than KNOWLEDGE
How we think determines where we GET----
are we seeking knowledge or LIFE
If I had married, If I lived here, ----
None of that changes anything
3. Every thought moves us forward or shuts us down
Romans 8:6-----FLESH THOUGHTS or SPIRIT THOUGHTS
One enables, empowers, or ROBS and HURTS
ONE LEADS TO DEATH, ONE LEADS TO LIFE
“I don’t think I’ll ever… marriage, kids, job,”
Not every decision is SPIRITUAL---Driving around KRISPY KREME
Thoughts toward- HOPE< TRUTH, FAITH, GOOD, LOVE,
God will never brings condemnation, despair, ridicule
WHEN YOU HEAR HOW BAD YOU ARE------CANT BE THE SPIRIT
FROM PREACHER or YOURSELF
4. It’s natural to choose death- VS 7
When most people have time to think- worries, problems, anxiety
People hate to be alone with themselves---SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
That’s why people watch TV-
Distraction from being alone w/ yourself
YOUTH GOING TO CAMP---
Got rid of noise, FOUND THEMSELVES
Cant find yourself- with headphones on
It’s natural to choose death—
That’s why Christians respond to condemnation.
2 Tim 1:7
1 Cor 2:16
Holy Spirit gives us the power to choose our thought—Don’t think Bap, Cath.
I have the mind oF Christ- To keep from choosing death
It’s a discipline—
You’ve learned to listen to WRONG THOUGHTS---RIGHT
You are good—
Don’t give up- you can over come- You’re not stuck
JESUS WANTS YOU TO HAVE LIFE---
Tell your mind I’M ALIVE
Thing like a giant-
get rid of negative thinking- HOME, JOB, MARRIAGE
1 SAMUEL 30:6>>strengthen yourself---
Don’t put yourself down
STOP!!! GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THE MIND OF CHIRST
