10 MINDSETS That Are Not True

10 mindsets that rule us from within that we must tear down to the ground:


1. I am separated from God.

 No, we are already one with Him

Is. 59:2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
This is Old Covenant ;New Covenant says:

No Separation From God

Romans 8: 38-39:
"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord 
nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." 



2. I am inherently bad.

No, No, God created you upright, just, good.The word says:

New Living Translation
But I did find this: God created people to be virtuous, but they have each turned to follow their own downward path."




3. I can't trust what I feel deep inside me.

No, I hear His voice.


(John 10:27)  My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.


4. This world is hopeless and beyond transformation.

No, The whole earth shall  be filled with the glory of God.


(Hab 2:14)  For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.


5. I have to die to get to heaven. 

No, you are already there. Heaven is in your heart.


Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. (ESV)

6. There are people and groups in this world who are the enemies. 

 No, we are called to love not hate.


(John 13:34)  I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. As I have loved you, you should also love one another.


7. There is no possibility or basis for uniting people together as one. 


No, we are eternally One with God.

(1Co 6:17)  But he being joined to the Lord is one spirit.

8. Whatever I do ultimately makes little difference. 

No, I carry out the purposes of God.


(Rom 12:2)  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is that good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

9. One day the answer and solution will fall down out of the sky.

No, all answers are within me.

(2Pe 1:3-4)  according as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and virtue,through which He has given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, so that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.


10. I lack the capability and power to birth a new reality


No, I can do all things and all things have been given to me.

(Php 4:13)  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

All that He has is mine.

(Luke 15:31)  And he said to him, Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.

DESIGN

DESIGN


I my lifetime I've thought a lot about the question, “Who Am I?” and this subject of DESIGN. I have often thought, “God, why did you make me like this?” For so long I have wanted to be like so many other people. I wanted to fit in.

I sensed the Lord say to me one day, “You are growing in self awareness”.

As my soul was in the process of healing and restoring; it still is;I am seeing more clearly how and why God made me. There are so many levels to a human being. It is so true that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. I have thought of at least 12 levels.

1.    We were thought of and designed before the foundation of the world.
Jeremiah 1:4-5 The word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

2.    We were seen and formed uniquely in our mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13-16 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. [14] I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.  [15] My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, [16] your eyes saw my unformed body.

3.    Our parents were assigned to us
4.    Our gender was established
5.    Our race and nationality was set-Acts 17:26 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.

6.    Our time in history is set-Acts 13:36 “For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed.

7.    Our destiny set-Psalm 139:16 All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

8.    Our brothers and sisters

9.    Our birth order

10.  Our temperament/personality

There are many assessments to help us understand the way God made us and to understand  each other; to find out our God-given design, talents, gifts, etc.
