"Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit." (Romans 8:5)
- What dominates you?
- the definition for dominate is "have a commanding influence on; exercise control over."
- So what do you let control you?
- What has commanding influence?
- This week I would like to challenge you to clean out 3 things that are cluttering up and destroying your life.
- three things that may be controlling you.
- Try throwing these 3 things out for the next 6 days.
- Its like getting in my car and finding it a mess.
- If it's a mess, then I've got to throw out some things.
- So, here are 3 things that you need to throw out.
- Doubt, being negative and sin.
- Try it for one week.
- Today, I will focus on doubt.
- Doubt means that you have replaced Gods reality with the worlds reality.
- you have already looked past Gods ability and said, "You are not able to do ______ (fill in the blank) in my life."
- You have already told yourself that you are to far gone.
- You believe that God can do the impossible for someone else but not you.
- You think that you have failed to many times.
- You are living a doubt filled life.
- Your reality is "can't", not "God can"
- When you look at your circumstances today, whose report are you going to believe?
- The worlds report, or the Report of the Lords?
- Will you be full of fear or full of faith?
- Today, choose to believe that God is able.
- Choose to believe that Jesus died for you and shed His blood for you, no matter how many times you have failed.
- Jesus said, "all things are possible to him who believes.”
(Mark 9:23)
- "All Things" - that includes you, your life and your circumstances.
- Choose today to let Gods reality become your reality!
- Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
- Choose today to strengthen yourself with His thoughts.
- Choose today to speak what Jesus would speak.
- Have faith for more.
- Believe for more.
- Romans 8:6 says, "So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.”
- If you want to throw out doubt, then ask the Holy Spirit to control your mind and thoughts today.
- If you surrender your thoughts and mind to Him, it leads to life and peace.
- An Abundant life!
- A peace filled life!
- Today, make the choice to throw out Doubt and keep it up for 6 days.
- I promise you, it will change you!
- God bless you!
- Have a great Monday!
