What you think is directly related to what you know. That’s why it is important to make learning the mind of Christ a daily habit. The Bible says “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God” (Rom 10:17). When you stay away from false information and concentrate on learning and applying Biblical truths, you will think with a divine viewpoint. But unconfessed sin will pollute your thinkin...

When you catch yourself thinking with a human viewpoint, stop and reorient your thinking. Stinkin’ thinkin’ is thinking with human viewpoint, not divine viewpoint. It has to do with bad attitudes and negative volition to learning and thinking with the mind of Christ. “As a man thinks in his heart so he is” (Prov 23:7). As a Christian, you must respect the Word of God and learn it. “Whatever is hon...

What you think reveals the real you. Man looks at the outward appearance, God looks in your mind. Your spiritual life is lived in your thoughts. This study focuses on stinkin’ thinkin’—thinkin’ based on human viewpoint, not divine viewpoint. The Bible is very clear about how to think. “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is th...

You can only have an impact on the devil’s world if you choose to renovate your thinking and grow to spiritual maturity. “Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me. My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (Matt 11:28-29). This is how you will be made rich spiritually because you will develop a treasure in your soul—the treasure of the Word of God. You’re not here to clean up the devil’s world, that’s...

When we don’t discipline ourselves, we wind up assassinating our spiritual lives. You must be able to control your sin nature and stay filled with the Holy Spirit. What makes you a good Christian is following the protocol plan of God. “Christ in you the hope of glory” (Col 1:27). How do you TRASH your spiritual life and become a castaway believer? You distort the truth. “My ways are much higher th...

If you want to be the person God can use, you must realize your position in Christ and not be distracted. You need to recognize when you sin, use the problem-solving device of rebound, and recover your spiritual momentum. This is key to living the Christian life. “Be filled with the Holy Spirit” (Eph 5:18). This is a mandate from God. Realize the importance of counting the cost, evaluating, before...

You must never blend or bend in your faith. Defend the truth of God’s Word. “Retain the standard of sound doctrine that you have received from me in the faith and the love which are in Christ Jesus. Guard by means of the Holy Spirit who dwells in you the treasure which has been entrusted to you” (2 Tim 1:13-14). The quickest way to get disqualified from finishing the race God has set you to run is...

The supernatural blessings and privileges you have as a member of the royal family of God do not guarantee supernatural success. You must decide to run the race, to follow the rules, to stay on course and to complete the mission. You must learn to control your volition to stay filled with Holy Spirit and not get distracted by the lures of the world or the temptations of your sin nature. This is wh...

To reach spiritual maturity you must have the self-discipline to learn God’s Word on a consistent, daily basis. This requires using your volition to prioritize God’s Word in your life and to say no to the lures of the world. You must also have self-control. This is learned from the Word of God. “In your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance” (2 Pet 1:6). Knowledge of God...

God leaves you here on this earth “To press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:14). God has given you the resources to ensure you win the race. If you are going to get the winner's crown you must have self-control, self-discipline and self-restraint. Self-control: using your volition to keep your sinful nature in check. Self-discipline: to study God’s...

A castaway believer doesn’t have the interest nor takes the time to learn God’s plan for their life so God has to set them aside and find someone else that will do the job. “Grow in the grace and knowledge of your Lord and Savior” is a mandate from God (2 Pet 3:18). God wants you to run strong and finish the race. “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one will receive the...

God’s plan is clear. “He is not willing that any should perish” (2 Pet 3:9). He doesn’t want anyone to reject Jesus Christ as Savior and spend eternity in the Lake of Fire.

"If you love Me you will obey Me and My mandates are not h...

Your objective is to be Christlike, to think with the mind of Christ. “It is no longer I but Christ in me” (Gal 2:20).

These enemies will attempt to keep you from growing to spiritual maturity. The world and the details of life are always th...

Why do people suffer? Often because of our own bad decisions. That’s why it’s so important to think with a divine viewpoint acquired by learning and applying the Word of God. As man, Jesus suffered as we do, and He handled it the same way we do. By staying filled with the Holy Spirit and using the faith-rest drill. Jesus was the Christian prototype. We can defeat Satan’s strategy to discredit, dis...

Suffering is an opportunity for blessing. All suffering-for-blessing is designed by God for you to advance to spiritual maturity and glorify Him. Respond to suffering by applying the Word of God to your circumstances and you will put muscle on your spiritual life. God will never give you more testing than you can handle. “No testing has overtaken you but such as is common to man. Moreover God is f...

Information you hear and understand is knowledge. Information you hear, understand and apply is full knowledge. Your objective is to learn and store God's Word in your soul so you can use it daily. The Christian life is supernatural and is to be lived under the filling of the Holy Spirit empowered by God’s Word. You live it in your mind. “Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is staye...

Occupation with Christ is one of the greatest problem-solving devices. “To put on the Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom 13:14). It is focusing your thoughts on Him “Put your eyes on Him the author and finisher of our faith” (Heb 12:2). Jesus came into this world as the undiminished deity and true humanity in one body, the God-Man. As man, Jesus Christ faced the same things we face, and He had to use His Fat...

Be consistent in your spiritual life. Being happy is a mandate from God. “Keep on having happiness in the Lo...

To glorify God to the maximum you need to love Him. Personal love for God motivates you to obey Him. “If you love Me, you will obey Me” (1 John 5:3). Personal love for people is not commanded in the Bible. Impersonal love for others is a mandate from God. “Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the Truth, have a genuine love for one another, deeply from the heart” (1 Pet 1:22)....

Personal love for God motivates you to use a divine viewpoint, to think with the mind of Christ. “If you love Me, you will obey Me” (1 John 5:3). Personal love for God is your motivation to use impersonal love with others. So when you love God, you are reciprocating God’s love for you. “We love Him because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19). How do you know if you love God? You obey Him. You stay fi...

Personal love for God is your greatest motivation. ”You shall love the Lord your God with all of your heart, with all of your soul and with all of your mind. This is the first mandate.” (Matt 22:37).
