Today we are going to consider developing our mental focus. What does God want us to focus on? Because truly, all that matters is what He
desires for us. In order to re-set our
mindset, we need to focus on the following:
God’s Power – Nothing (repeat that – nothing) can be
accomplished through our own will or work that will even compare to what God
has planned for us. We need to focus on
His power and call on that power!
God’s Promises – As we studied yesterday, God can not, will
not lie to us. When we look to Him to
direct our path, he will fulfill His promises to us.
God’s Peace – John 16:33 “ I have told you these things, so
that in me you may have peace. In this
world you will have trouble. But take heart!
I have overcome the world.” No
matter what appears to be in chaos, confusion and disorder around us, we can be
confident that God has overcome this already, so we can live in God’s
peace. How reassuring!
God’s Plans – We are reminded in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know
the plans I have for you ,” declares the Lord. “Plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” God has plans for YOU! Do not ever, ever let the enemy steal this
scripture from you. Do not ever, ever
let the enemy tell you that you don’t matter or you can’t make a difference.
Quote this scripture over and over until it is engrained within your heart. This is a promise from the Almighty,
Sovereign God specifically for YOU!
When you develop your mental focus on these four areas, it
is not possible to experience defeat, failure, anxiety, worry, fear,
depression, oppression or anything else that is negative. When you dwell on these four areas, you can
only experience God’s power, promises, peace and plans.
