What is it about you that you tried to change but, after a while, you just quit trying?
For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. Matthew 12:34
But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart and those defile the man. Matthew 15:18
Life with God in His Kingdom brings us the real hope of resolving problems and conflicts through transformation of the kind of people we are not just trying harder to change our behavior.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind… Romans 12:2
But we all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18
Three vital elements of renewing our minds:
● Scripture
● Prayer
● Community
What are you sick and tired of trying harder to get right about you?
Real Hope is available. Transformation of the kind of people we are is not only possible, it’s the plan!
If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mind; and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free. John 8:31-32
Growing & Going Action Step:
Scripture: Are you taking it in and letting it shape your understanding of God?
Prayer: Are you honestly expressing your heart and your needs to God? Are you listening to His response?
Community: Are you worshiping regularly with your spiritual family? Are you learning to let others into your life in your G2 Group? Are you letting them speak truth to you, pray for you and walk along side of you?
