FOUNDATIONAL TRUTH
How you manage your Mind and Thought process will determine Your SUCCESS in life.
Human Anthropology
Body – Five senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, taste
Soul – Mind, Will, and Emotions
Spirit – The saved or Born-Again side of you (Eph 2)
1. I MUST MONITOR AND REGULATE THE SIGNALS MY BODY IS SENDING TO MY SOUL
I. See no evil - Matthew 6:22,23; “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light…”
a. See what edifies
II. Hear no evil - Hear no evil – Mark 4:24,25; “Consider carefully what you hear…”
a. Hear what edifies
III. Touch no evil – 2 Cor. 5:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
2. I MUST MONITOR AND REGULATE THE MESSAGES MY SOUL IS SENDING TO MY SPIRIT
· My Old Self
Romans 7:23 - but I see in my members another principle at war with the law of my mind, taking me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.[a]
· The Devil
1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not [a]carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
· The World’s values
1 John 2:16 - For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world
3. I MUST FOCUS MY MIND (THOUGHTS) ON WHAT EDIFIES MY SPIRIT
· Focus on Christ 2 Tim 2:8
· Focus on Others Philippians 2:4
· Focus on Eternity
