Change Your Mind

I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
– Romans 12:1, 2

What must happen for the kingdom of heaven to come? You have only to change your mind. Christians sometimes sing, “When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be!” Why not rejoice now? You are in the kingdom now.

Begin to think like a child of the King. When trouble comes, speak words of faith: “I am not having the worst day of my life. I am in the middle of the will of God! I am in the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom has come because the King has come! He has raised me up and given me joint seating together with Christ in heavenly places!”

Change your mind, because the kingdom of heaven is at hand. It is here right now. You can enter into it right now!

Holy Spirit, help me change my stinkin’ thinkin’.
