Mind
We all must guide our thoughts with the help of the Holy Spirit. The battle for our minds is fierce as we are vulnerable to the enemy. "The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the spirit is life and peace." -Romans 8:6. Ask God to control your mind and he will bless you and draw you closer to him. -Pastor Mike
Pray
We should all have a specific time of the day to pray. Nearly nothing should interupt that time we have to spend with God. How about an entire day in prayer? Sounds tough, but it is do-able! Keep God on your mind, talk to him in all situations, and listen for his voice during all your waking hours. "Pray continually." -1 Thessalonians 5:17. -Pastor Mike
Busy
It's good to be busy. Busy suggests having a vision and going after it to achieve it. Our business needs to be centered on helping those in need and giving all the love & glory to God. Paul admonished the church at Ephesus for acting out of the wrong motives. "Yet I hold this against you. You have forsaken your first love." - Revelation 2:4. -Pastor Mike
Fix
Jesus has given us many tools for evangelism. Speaking, art work, service, teaching, and fellowship are but a few things that we can do to share the Gospel message with friend, family and neighbors. "Therefore, go and make disciples of all baptising them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit." -Matthew 28:19 -Pastor Mike
Worry
We all have problems that we must face. Worry is unnecessary if you truly believe that God is in control of all situations. Through prayer, God either handles the problem or he shows us how to tackle it. "...Therfore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or care about your body, what you will wear." -Luke 12:22. -Pastor Mike
Reflection
Do you reflect the world or God's Kingdom? If you reflect the world, you glamorize sin. If you reflect God, you glamorize purity. Seek God wholeheartly so he can take your darkened mind and pour his light into it. "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. -Isaiah 60:1. -Pastor Mike
Idol
What idols have you created in your life? Amassing wealth, popularity, always being right in your opinions? What do you bow down to? God wants us completely. "You shall have no other gods before me." - Exodus 20:3. Take time out to worship God today and make him the one and only desire of your heart. -Pastor Mike
Perseverance
Trials will happen in our lives. They can harden our hearts or soften them. Have a positive outlook when you face difficulties because they are in fact, learning experiences. "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." -James 1:2. -Pastor Mike
No Fear
Fear can cause us to become immobile. We must not allow the Evil One to control us. We need to focus in on God's immersurable love and then allow him to love others through us. "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." -1 John 4:7. -Pastor Mike
Step-by-Step
Remember when you were learning to walk? Your parent took hold of your hand and slowly walked next to you as you wernt forward, step-by-step. "For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." -Isaiah 41:13. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you, as he has mapped out every inch of your journey. -Pastor Mike
