Spiritually Minded (July 8, 2013)

SET YOUR MIND ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT ON
 THINGS ON THE EARTH.
         ( Colossians 3:2 *NKJV )

     It is very easy for us to get caught up in this materialistic
 World of ours.  Before we even know it we start desiring a
 fancy new car, or a new home, or some other material
 possession that soon dominates our hearts and minds.

     Now these things can become the most important things
 in our lives, and can not help replacing God as Number One
 in our hearts! FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE YOUR
HEART WILL BE ALSO.      ( Luke 12:34 )

     After all, those who live according to the flesh
set their minds on the things of the flesh, but
those who live according to the Spirit, the things
of the Spirit. FOR TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH,
BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE.
                                 ( Romans 8:5-6 )

     So keep your mind focused on Our Savior Jesus Christ so;
 THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS THROUGH FAITH;
 ( Ephesians 3:17 )  For after all we are not human beings
 having a Spiritual experience, but Spiritual beings having a
 human experience!

     Now, TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO DO
EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR
THINK, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS IN US,
TO HIM BE GLORY IN THE CHURCH BY CHRIST JESUS TO
ALL GENERATIONS, FOREVER AND EVER.   Amen.
                                          ( Ephesians 3:20-21 )
