ONE OF THE WORSE DISABILITIES WE FACE TODAY IS THE DISABILITY OF

A BAD ATTITUDE...

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com

You are an artist... WHAT ARE YOU PAINTING?

Each day is a new canvas. You decide what you will paint...

Psalm 118:24 (KJV)

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

ISAAC FOUND A WELL SPRING OF LIVING WATER...

Genesis 26:19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.

JESUS OFFERS US A WELL SPRING OF LIVING WATER...

JOHN 4:14

But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

YOU CONTROL YOUR THINKING PATTERNS... THE DISABILITY TAKES DEEP

ROOTS:

a condition that damages or limits a person's physical or mental abilities.

A BAD ATTITUDE IS MUCH LIKE A FLAT TIRE...

IF YOU ARE GOING SOME PLACE, YOU HAVE TO GET OUT AND CHANGE IT...

A bad attitude drains a person and they develop a negative? Blame others? I deserve

better?

ATTITUDE: LIFE IS LIKE A ROSE?

We will buy into the ATTITUDE OF HOW PAINFUL THE THORNS can be.

Or we can FOCUS OUR ATTITUDES on HOW BEAUTIFUL THE RED, YELLOW OR

PINK THE FLOWER IS... and the rose's smell.

THE ATAR OF ROSES is an expensive perfume made from crushed rose petals.

The crushed rose petals are placed into a vat of special oil. Daily the Master comes

with a feather and skims the top layer and places in a bottle. It takes many days

to fill one bottle.

THE CRUSHED ROSE is a wonderful gift.

DO WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FIERY SERPANT OF NUMBERS 21 REPRESENTS?

This snake was part of the judgment of God for complaining, griping and murmuring of

God's people. They complained against Moses and Aaron... BUT GOD SAID THEY ARE

COMPLAINING ABOUT HIM.

These snakes were swift-springing, deadly--- full of poison and venom.

MANY PEOPLE DIED...

GOD'S MERCY AND GRACE HAD A PLAN TO BREAK THEIR BAD ATTITUDES AND MEAN

WORDS... BRAZEN SERRPANT ON A POLE IN THE CENTER OF THE CAMP...

IN HEZEKIIAH'S DAY THE BRAZEN SNAKE WAS WORSHIPPED AND HAD TO BE

DESTROYED --- ANOTHER BAD ATTITUDE...

THE SNAKE OR SERPANTS OF THE BIBLE OFTEN REPRESENT BAD ATTITUDES...

TO FIND GOD'S PLAN WE HAVE TO SHAKE OF THE POISONOUS, VENOMOUS...

ACTS 28:1-5

1And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

2 And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

I USED TO LESSON DAILY TO DOCTOR LAURA THE JEWISH COUNSELLOR ON

THE RADIO : IS THIS THE HILL WHERE I SHALL DIE?

The Bull Dog often walked by the skunk and the skunk mocked and taunted the Bull Dog.

One day the Cat asked: WHY DON'T YOU JUST FIGHT THE SKUNK AND GET IT OVER WITH?

The Cat said: Don't you think you could beat the skunk?

The Bull Dog stated clearly: I KNOW I COULD BEAT THE SKUNK TO A PULP. THAT IS NOT

THE QUESTION. THE ANSWER IS CLEAR: IT IS JUST NOT WORTH THE STINK HE WOULD

RAISE. I do not want to smell like THE SKUNK.

The Dog went on to say: STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES, BUT NAMES WILL

NEVER HARM ME IF I REFUSE TO GIVE CREDANCE TO THEM.

ANY SUCCESSFUL HAS TO OVERCOME THE HISTORY OF PLAYERS EXPECTATIONS,

THE PLAYERS LAZINESS, AND BAD ATTITUDES AND BUY INTO THE COACH'S PROGRAM.

WE ARE NOT TURKEYS GROUNDED IN THE DIRT...

WE ARE EAGLES TO SOAR ABOVE THE STORMS OF LIFE...

WE MUST LET GO OF THE DISABILITIES OF BAD ATTITUDES AND NEGATIVE THINKING.

WE MUST REMOVE THE NEGATIVE BOTTOM FEEDERS...

ROMANS 16:17

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

SEEMS LIKE BAD ATTITUDES ARE CONTAGEOUS AND CAN BECOME AN ADDICTION...
