Mindset

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8

At this stage of life – I am reminded how important our mindset is when facing so much uncertainty. For how we perceive things determines our path, attitude, and how we judge things and people. When facing outright blatant evil – are you guided by your emotions or are you submitting to the Holy Spirit’s direction for you in that instance? As more dimensional portholes are opened and evil pours forth from them how are we to deal with all the deception and lies? How do we discern what to do as we face all that is coming? How do we keep the fear within us in check? Have we prepared our minds to go through such chaotic scenarios? What will our mindset be when all hell breaks out around us? How much have you practiced having the ‘mind of Christ’? Do you ask the Holy Spirit to show you His heart and way He sees things… in that moment?

How will you keep yourself from being deceived? Many so-called American Christians have almost no real relationship with the Holy Spirit where they engage in any type of conversation with Him, they are ‘institutionalized’ in programs and formulas from just sitting in a building and listening to a ‘talk’ / sermon, but have never personally engaged with the Holy Spirit for greater understanding. These kinds of people are in severe danger of deception, because if their “pastor” or leader says it’s “Okay” they will do whatever they say without EVER checking with the Holy Spirit, even if the pastor tells them to. Many will be led into deception. Now is the time to increase your relationship with the Holy Spirit and find others who want to do the same. Meet together regularly with those who are REALLY hungry for Him asking the difficult and dangerous questions looking together for the Holy Spirit’s answers. Don’t expect that any one ‘person’ will have all the answers. Only One (Jesus / Holy Spirit) can give you all the answers you need.

What is needed? Real discipleship. Real relationships. Real discussions. Real questioning. Real life experiences. Real testimonies. Real depth of spiritual intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Real practice of following His instructions … in the moment it is needed. Discussing together the real challenges you are facing. Don’t follow a ‘program’, follow the Holy Spirit. How many people will be deceived by AI – because it sounds and looks right?

If you have His mindset … how do you think you will do when challenges arise right in front of you? If you have practiced having an ongoing conversation with the Holy Spirit all day long, day after day, what will it be like when you must know immediately what to do in that emergency situation? What is your current mindset? Is it His or yours? The truth is for most of us it is a mix of both. How do we increase in His mindset and have less of ours? By obedience to His personal directions given to us by the Holy Spirit. Are we quick to hear and obey Him? Or are you quick to the believe all the ‘propaganda’ that we are totally awash in right now? The time is becoming crucial that you are led by the guiding of the Holy Spirit in every part of your day.

Now … is the time to develop this skill of listening to Him
