Talk 2 – How to get what you want Youth Retreat, Ovoca Manor, 2006

Influence

Have you got what it takes You are what you eat! – who says that? You are what you think I want this, I need that I can ’ t do it. Watch how you speak! Proverbs 23: 7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

Have you got what it takes Rom 12:1,2 renewed transformed know

Thoughts Get the thinking RIGHT! ThoughtsEmotionsDecisionACTION Character DESTINY

James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for God is incapable of being tempted by [what is] evil and He Himself tempts no one. 14 But every person is tempted when he is drawn away, enticed and baited by his own evil desire (lust, passions). 15 Then the evil desire, when it has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is fully matured, brings forth death. Evil desire sin death

Thought life Belief TRUTH LIES FREEDOMBONDAGE

John 8:31 So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you abide in My word [hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them], you are truly My disciples. 32 And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.

Isaiah 26:3 You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You. 4 So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].

Mind set – rom 5 5 For those who are according to the flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and seek those things which gratify the [Holy] Spirit. 6 Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever]. Flesh SPIRIT Ephesians 6: 12

Mindset I ’ ve got my mind set on you ( Col 3:2 And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. 3 For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God. So Vs 5. ThoughtsEmotionsDecisionACTION Character DESTINY

Types of mind Wandering, wondering mind Wandering, wondering mind Cannot concentrate Too tired I wonder this, I wonder that Wondering leaves the person into indecision and indecision leads to confusion. Wondering, indecision, confusion cannot receive from God. Brace it -1Peter 1:13 Mark 11: 23-24

23Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. 24For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

Confused mind Cousin of wandering mind James 1:5-8 Reasoning Rationalising Trust God, not human reasoning Proverbs 3:5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

Unbelief Israelites in the wilderness What stopped them getting into the promise land. Harden hearts Hai meh Miracles in China Rom 4: He did not weaken in faith 20 No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God 21 Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised. 18 [For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So [numberless] shall your descendants be. 19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered the [utter] impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or [when he considered] the barrenness of Sarah's [deadened] womb. 20 No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God, 21 Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised.

OPPOSING FORCES FAITHUNBELIEF

Negative mind, I ’ m worried Negative mind- I can ’ t Trust Apart from God – nothing, John 15:5 Rethink – Phil 4:13 Worried 1 peter 5:6-7

1 cor 2:16 For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. Mind of Christ Ezekial 36:26 A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall heed My ordinances and do them.

Rom 12: 2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. Jeremiah 29:11 Prosper you, not to harm you, give you Hope and a future

Promises Heb 13:5, never leave you or forsake you Jeremiah 20:11, future Mt 6:33, all these added to you Phil 4:19 And my God will liberally supply ( [i] fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.i 2 Cor 5:17, new 1 Cor 2:16 But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.

Questions What determines how you turn out (destiny)? Do you believe that thoughts are important? What are you thinking most of the time? Am I telling myself lie? If so how can I change it? What are you worried about? Write it down and cast it to God. Can He help you?
