Today sermon at church that I felt to share....
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
Philippians 4:8 NIV
Your thinking is very important.
Is it true?
Is it noble?
Is it right ?
Is it pure?
Is it lovely?
Is it admirably?
Is it excellent?
Is it praiseworthy?
Ponder - focus what is right
It begins with your mind.
Your mind and my mind is so powerful.
Practice
- what are you filling your mind?
- what are the conversations you do in your office?
- what are the people you mix with?
"The food that enters the mind must be watched as closely as the food that enters the body"
Patrick Buchanan
Discipline of the mind
- Adjust
- Align
It's important that you uses the word of God to fight off the negative thoughts and voices inside you.
Discipleship of the mind
The peace is with Jesus!
““I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.””
John 16:33 NIV
Pray
The mind is the battleground for warfare.
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 NIV
Through Christ we can overcome!
Overcome
Overcomer
