One Degree of Change!

How to Succeed Now!

More than Will Power

Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jer 29:12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. Jer 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 3Jn 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Eph 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Ask = Jeremiah 29 Think = 3 John 1:2

God Wants Increase From Our Lives

Will Worship

Col 2:20 - 23; Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not;Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

KINGDOM TRANSFORMATION VS POSITIVE THINKING

Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Paul’s idea of a strong mind is a transformed Mind!

The Church has been exposed in many areas during the first half of the year. We have seen how much we relate to the world system and just how unchanged and Unlike JESUS we really are.

KINGDOM TRANSFORMATION VS POSITIVE THINKING

1 Peter 1:13-16 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner

• f conversation;

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

KINGDOM TRANSFORMATION VS POSITIVE THINKING

How Do You Know If Your Mind Is Transformed?

Think about something you enjoyed doing while unsaved?

Good or Bad!

Think about how you feel about do that thing now? If it is still a possibility, You are not transformed in that area! Your ability to not do the thing is Will Worship! If there is no way you would do or come near the thing! Most-likely transformation has occurred in that area!

Understand, positive thinking isn’t a bad thing but it should come from a transformed life. If it is the foundation, it isn’t stable enough to endue the extreme hard times.

Positive Thinking Isn’t Enough!

Because it is a human construct!

KINGDOM TRANSFORMATION VS POSITIVE THINKING

Use the Word of God!

• Hebrews 4:12; For the word of God is

quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.KJV

• Ephesians 4:23 & 24 And be renewed in

the spirit of your mind; And that ye put

• n the new man, which after God is

created in righteousness and true holiness.

TRANSFORMATION

Ephesians 6:17;And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Use The Word Of God!

• Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye
• ught to be teachers, ye have need that
• ne teach you again which be the first

principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

• Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk

is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

• Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to

them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
