SERIES: What's In It For Me? Episode 3: Free Your Mind/ Get Your Head In The Game

DISCLAIMER: YOU MUST BE IN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST
JESUS TO GRASP THESE TEACHING AND TO LIVE THIS KIND OF LIFE!


SERIES: WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME! Recap: SUCCESS COMES WITH A COST. My
prayer is that you are beginning to think about the things that
you are willing to give up in order to receive all the bountiful
blessings God has in store just for you and coming up with a
process of you allowing you to.


This why God told me to tell you to:


THIS WEEK’S EPISODE: Introduction: Free Your Mind & Get Your
Head In The Game!


Romans 12:1-2


Therefore, I urge you, brothers, and sisters, in view of God’s
mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and
pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do
not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and
approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will.


You have a will but will you continue to allow it to get in the
will of God and Paul is pleading with us that we had to live and
think a certain way as Christians.


If you want to be pleasing to God, start recognizing quickly what
He wants from you and respond quickly to it.


Pleasing-acceptable- (Gen 4:3-5/Abel accepted/Cain rejected)


Proper-reasonable Worship- (Amos 5; 21-23- God talks about hating
Israel festivals, religious assemblies, offerings, or praise
(worshipping in spirit and truth (John 4:24) when we continue to
go through the routine of worship but we are living a life that
is not pleasing to God.


Offer/Dedicate-(Judges 13:4-5 Samson was dedicated to God to
deliver Israelites from the Philistines) & Judges 16:20
Samson disobedience caused the Lord to depart from Him)


Living Sacrifice- God cannot use anything dead. This our everyday
life of eating, sleeping, going to work, whatever you do.


Free Your Mind


Conform do not become so well adjusted that you fit into your
culture without it you are thinking about it or being bothered by
it.


Acceptable-accepting what God does for and through you is the
best thing you can do for Him.


Those who refused to change their way of thinking.


1. Felix


2. Judas tried to give the money back to the Pharisees but it was
too late and he chose suicide over forgiveness


3. Lot’s Wife- wanted her old life/ turned into a pillar of salt


Lessons To Reflect On From This Week’s Episode: 


Worship is our Life. 


1. 1 Corinthians  2:6 We all have the mind of Christ 


 2. Phil 4:8 Think on Praiseworthy things


3. Psalm 1:2 Mediate on it day and night


4. Col 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on things on the
earth


 5. Proverbs 23:7 for as he thinks in his heart, so is he.


My challenge to you this week is to think on: What behavior/s are
you working on and what action are you willing to put the old
self off and what action will you take to allow the Holy Spirit
to make you more like Jesus? Free Your Mind!


We have to realize that every Christian has the mind of Christ
but we don’t always choose to engage it.


2 Corinthians10:3-5-gives us some very bold and empowering words
on how to Free our mind and get our head in the game/fight. For
though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world
does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of
the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish
strongholds. 5 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.

Next week we will continue to dive into what God has just for
you. Check out Philippians 1:6-7, 9-11
