V 2 Set your minds on things above. Not on things below

THIS IS THE KEY AND THIS IS A COMMAND

 

When asked why he robbed banks, famous bank robber Slick Willie Sutton said, “Because that's where the money is.” 

You want to know more about God, have more of him in your life, be moved by him more, be used by him more… Get your mind up in heaven - thats where God is. 

 

Christ Mindsets

 

Christ mind looks out for others first

Phil. 2:2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 

 

*He said he had never lost money in a deal… (the man said, exactly- but the ones that he does business with sure do. Scott LaFavre) 

 

We understand that we are to please him by that which we do not see (Faith)

2 cor. 5: 6 So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. 7 For we live by believing and not by seeing. 8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him.

 

 

A mind that first wants to seek God

Phil. 4:6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

 

 

A mind that is focused on Gods plan for each individual. What does he want YOU to do.

2 Cor. 9: 7 You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.

 

 

A mind that reflects Gods heart

1 Cor. 13:5 It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 

 

 

A mind that understands the plans of the wicked

Matthew 9:4 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he asked them, “Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?

 

 

A mind that is under constant renewal/transformation

Rom. 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

 

 

A mind that is not easily fooled 

Galatians 6:3 If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important. 

*satan tried to pull a few over on Jesus in the desert

 

 

A mind that is of one mind

James 1:8 a Double minded man, Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.

 

It doesn’t mean you can’t do 2 things, or 3 things… or even 4 things, what it does mean is make sure what you are doing is what God wants you to do. or you will have your mind cluttering up his mind. 

 

A mind that keeps Gods priorities… people need Jesus. (when you get to heaven there is a good chance you will think of those who did not make it to heaven) 

Colossians 3:2 Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. 

 

A mind that brings peace

1 Tim. 6:5 These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth.
