Thank you everyone who made our Resurrection Service's a huge success yesterday. Both the Sunrise and 10am Services were filled with expectant hearts focused on Jesus. I wasn't feeling very good yesterday but I made it through with God's help. This morning I would like share on Sound Thinking. The Bible says, 'God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.' In order to improve your life you must change two things that are vital to your success: (1) Your thought processes. Something's that I've found in people who are out of shape mentally are: 'People who are out of shape mentally usually fall victim to ideas and systems that are destructive to the human spirit... They have not taught themselves how to think, nor have they set themselves to the lifelong pursuit of the growth of the mind...so they grow dependent upon the thoughts and opinions of others. Rather than deal with ideas and issues, they reduce themselves to lives filled with rules, regulations and program's.' The moment you think you know it all, you've merely stopped thinking. (2) Your expectations. The story's told of a man who went to a fortune teller. She said to him, 'You'll be poor and miserable until you're fifty.' The man asked her, 'What will happen then?' She replied, 'Then you'll get used to it.' Now I don't advise going to a fortune teller, but be honest; how many successful people do you know who are apathetic and negative? None! Faith produces excitement, commitment, energy - characteristics that help you achieve success. If you'd like to possess these qualities then raise your expectation level and bring it into alignment with God's promises. '...Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.' (Mark 11:24 NKJV) Do you want to succeed where you've failed before? To become the person you always hoped to be? Don't start by changing your actions, start by changing your mind. Renew it daily with God's Word. Nothing you do will have as great an impact. You are loved...
