Our attitudes

0:00Greetings, everyone. Welcome to today's reading by Mary Carotters, our attitudes to those short two three-minute read. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we thank You for the unity in the body of Christ. We thank You, Lord God, that Jesus died for our sins, and He rose from the dead to give us eternal life to show us the way. Jesus said, I am the way, the troop, and the life. We thank You, Lord, for calling us from the foundations of the earth, and allowing us to partake in Your heavenly kingdom. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we have the keys to victory. Thank You, Lord, that You've given us the keys to succeed in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and all God's people say, Amen, and Amen. I just got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, says Mary Carotters on her letter. I'm just in a bad mood. Have you ever heard either of these expressions or perhaps said them yourself?

1:03We like to excuse ourselves, don't we? My bad attitude or bad mood is never my fault. Oh, no, of course not. But that you know, God has something to say to us about our attitudes. When I look in my concordance, what would I do without my concordance? I found several scriptures dealing with our attitudes. God was angry with Solomon, although the Lord had blessed him. Solomon had allowed himself to develop a divided heart. Oh, he's still worship God, but not with his whole heart. In 1 Kings 116, we are told that Solomon did evil in God's eyes because he did not follow after God alone. He had begun to follow some of the gods of this day. God said to him in verse 11, says this is your attitude, then God told Solomon the sad results of his wrong attitude had led him to more and more bad choices.

2:10Now I know that our moves and our attitudes are not exactly the same, but they are close enough for us to realize that we can control them. One day Jesus began to work in my life. The first thing he did was to begin showing me all the times in my life I had indulged in bad attitudes. The humbling part of this experience with the Lord didn't show me just a few times when I had wallowed in bad attitudes. No, he made sure I understood that this had been a habit for many years. Each time I admitted to him that yes, he was right and I had been wrong no matter what someone else has said or done. I am not responsible for what others say or do, but I am most certainly responsible for my attitudes because my words and my actions come from my attitudes.

3:10In other words, whatever thoughts I indulge in will inevitably affect my speech and actions. Each time the Holy Spirit convinced me of my wrong attitudes, I told the Lord I was truly sorry and asked him to forgive me. I have often wondered if I had not humbled myself and repented. Would I have continued to grow in the Lord? Perhaps I would have remained an immature carnal Christian. In Ephesians 423, the Lord uses Paul to urge us to be made new in our attitudes. We need to be constantly changing the way we think from the way the world looks at things to the way our Lord thinks. In other words, we constantly have to keep an eye on our thoughts and thank God when wrong thoughts appear. Thoughts of lust, robbery, imaginary triumphs and so forth. We need to thank God for His pictures, His success and His success are, get this triumph, victorious, see a house, see a car, develop.

4:27Develop without a vision my people perish, without imagination my people are destroyed by their lack of knowledge. Come on folks, we gotta keep diving at this and keep poking at it till we get the right combination and we have the right combination. We know for the fact is that our imaginations and prayer and sign is God and it's everything. Moving forward, giving things to people, praying for the lost, relaxing and joy in this world, you can tell I'm pretty mixed up huh? Alright, let's take it from the top. In Ephesians 4.23 says that Paul urges us to be made new in our attitudes. He was inspired by the Holy Spirit, by the Lord. We need to be constantly changing the way we think from the way the world looks at things to the way our Lord thinks.

5:33One way we can accomplish this is to read His words to us. One way we can accomplish this is to read His words to us. Each time we begin to read the Bible, it's helpful to pause a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to teach us whatever He wants us to understand. Let us decide to change our ways of thinking. Let us determine to no longer justify our bad attitudes or bad moves, no matter what someone else says or does. Not only will this result in our being happier but we will also find that we have pleased the Lord and honored Him and it isn't that what we really want to do isn't it? If you have trouble wanting to have right attitudes as Jesus to help you to change your mind and attitude, He will be glad to help.

6:33Alright, again let us decide to change our ways of thinking. Okay, go ahead and Lord, we hereby commit for you to help us keep a watch on what comes out of our brain. 95% of our thoughts are ingrained. Our childish notions are upbringing, our mother love that got us with wrong programming and we thank you for that programming. Thank you for everything that comes out. Now we have a tool to turn it in the right direction. So keep an eye on our thoughts by thanking God and going in there and having failure, failure of discouragement, failure of seeing the wrong things, failure of getting mad or getting angry, emotions coming out of the place. Amen, it's all productive to see that we have been emotionally programmed in the wrong way. Now that we are adults we can with your help Lord, we can say, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

7:41I can say, I can figure out all things through Christ which gives me strength, which gives me hope. Amen, when we say that it gives us hope, it gives us laughter, it gives us joy. While we're fixing ourselves, what a concept. Amen, don't be sad. Oh, we're going to take this net, you know, and like taking medicine. Let's snap out of it, you know, let's, our attitudes are joyful, happy, strong going forward in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and as a amen. Let me read that last portion again. Mary says, let us decide to change our old ways of thinking. Let us determine to no longer justify our bad attitudes or bad moves, no matter what someone else says or does. We are in control. Not only will this result in our being happier, but we will also find that we have pleased the Lord and honor him.

8:46And it is in that what we really want to do, isn't it? If you have trouble wanting to have right attitudes, thank God that you have a problem. Thank God that you're working on something. Hallelujah. And you're constantly asking the Lord Jesus to help you to change your mind and attitude. He will gladly help you. And Fernando says, don't use morbid or sad or attitudes when you have a bad attitude. In other words, don't complicate it by feeling bad, by worrying and say I can never do it. No big deal. Just say, I thank God I have lustful thoughts. Can I hear that? I thank God I want to race this card through the bridge and be wild. Thank God for the thoughts you have. Thank God for the thoughts. Whatever it is folks, Jesus is the cool water. The thoughts is the hot iron and we can as soon as we thank God that we have these steaming thoughts that are way out there, thoughts of laziness, thoughts of greed, whatever it is.

9:57Let's not beat up ourselves. Let's just go out there and live life and live it abundantly. The main objective for us is to love ourselves. The main objective to us is to write a covenant letter cursive to the Lord telling him you're going to do everything you can to love yourself. Love is the key folks. Love is in the Word of God. Love is in the open heart. Let's do that. Let's write a letter to the Lord. And through the power of Jesus Christ and Nazareth and the Holy Spirit, we write and make a covenant decision that we are going to love ourselves. Treat us ourselves like royalty. Treat ourselves like Jesus is in the house. Because he is in the house. He's in me. He's in you. Writing and cursive that you hear me. Short hand. In other words, ABC, all those words connected. I haven't done it in years and you should see my chicken scratch, but I know the Lord has an answer for that. It feels good.

11:08Let's write a covenant, our first declaration, our manifesto, if you will, of who we are towards God in heaven and all the resources of heaven. In other words, let's get that overflow going, that overflow and that power that Jesus brought to this world that we are tapping into it. We're a holy heal through the stripes of Jesus Christ. We're a holy heal on the emotions through the stripes of Jesus Christ. We're a holy heal of any sickness and disease through the Lord Jesus Christ through the stripes on His back. Amen. Receive that overflow. Receive that spring of water that cleanses us. Heels us, establishes us, makes us productive and thankful. Thank you, God. Hallelujah. They were here to win it in Jesus mighty name. I love you. God bless you. No one to tell you they love you. I love you. Love yourself. Be a loving person. Be happy. Enjoy this day. Let's get out there and give them heaven family. Good attitudes.
