THE POWER OF YOUR ATTITUDE

So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,
Romans 15:5 (NIV)

• Your COLLECTIVE THOUGHTS form your ATTITUDE, your normal STATE OF MIND.

• Your ATTITUDE becomes your PHYSICAL REALITY affecting perception of LIFE.

And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ's] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always].
Colossians 3:15 (AMP)

Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to God with [His] grace in your hearts.
Colossians 3:16 (AMP)

CAN YOU SAY “EPIGENETICS”?

• EPIGENETICS is the dynamic of CHANGES in your GENE EXPRESSION.

• Your collective thought life BECOMES a PHYSICAL REALITY in your BRAIN and BODY.

• Your EVERY MOMENT of every day affects your MENTAL and PHYSICAL HEALTH.

• Your ATTITUDE is a real, physical, electromagnetic, quantum, and chemical reaction than positively or negatively charges genes.

• Your MIND INSTANTLY sends NEUROLOGICAL IMPULSES throughout your body.

• This means your THOUGHTS and EMOTIONS transmute into your ATTITUDE.

• An ABSTRACT BELIEF takes on a PHYSICAL EXISTENCE in a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE change in BRAIN CELLS.

ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY

• YOU are in complete control of CHANGING your ATTITUDE.

• The CHOICES you make IMPACT your spirit, soul, and body.

• Your MIND is NEUROPLASTIC – it can be RENEWED by purposeful MEDITATION.

NEUROGENICS

• God created the daily process of NEW UNPROGRAMMED BRAIN CELLS.

Lamentations 3: 22-22 “The Lord’s mercies are NEW EVERY MORNING.”

A FLEXIBLE ATTITUDE

• FLEXIBILITY is a Godly character trait that must be developed.

• FLEXIBILITY is the WILLFUL REDIRECTING our thinking toward God.

Psalm 46:10 “Let go of your CONCERNS, stop STRIVING, and know that I am God..”

• This REDIRECTED STATE OF MIND is entering “ THE REST IN THE LORD”.

• In this REST, you focus spiritually, and your thinking moves to “THE MIND OF CHRIST”.

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Hebrews 4:11 (KJV)

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
