MASTERING YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS AS KEY TO SPIRITUAL MATURITY.

THE ART OF KINGDOM LIFESTYLE.

\n

Philippians 2:5

\n

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

\n

To create a reality that reflects a progressive and productive thought\u2019s lifestyle, we need to learn how to guide and shape our thoughts and imagination in a positive, informative, and conforming way that leads to a fulfilling and enriching life in Christ.

\n

\n

The depth of our spiritual knowledge and experience is determined by the degree to which we've surrendered our minds to think and act like Christ, regardless of the event or circumstances at hand.

\n

\n

It is true that your beliefs and values have a great impact on the person you become. Yet, very few pay attention to both the internal and external factors that shape how they think. Your reality is forged in the furnace of your default thought environment.

\n

\n

As a Bible student, one of the first things that stood out for me was that our Lord Jesus Christ exhibited a certain quality of thought regarding himself, where he came from, and the world he was sent to transform and restore.

\n

\n

In fact, Jesus thought life was designed as the benchmark for all his followers' thinking patterns. You cannot become more of Christ than your thought pattern aligning to his Mold of thinking. What is defined as spirituality is expressed to the thought process of a person submitting the will and counsel of God.

\n

\n

There\u2019s been so much said regarding what is expected as a spiritual person, particularly from a kingdom lifestyle perspective. Yet, very few have actually acknowledged the position and influence of their thought life as a direct impact of the working out of their kingdom values and practices.

\n

\n

We have to dramatically shift from what Paul referred to when he said, the kingdom of God is not in words, but in the demonstration of power. Power is the art of living beyond the elements and forces of earthly limitations. When you have power, you live from the position of the nature of the second man, the last Adam. This lifestyle has nothing to do with your religious background or spiritual affiliations. This is a position rooted in Christ and his kingdom philosophy.

\n

\n

\n

The nature of the man in Christ is the position of power, not just being able to articulate biblical language. Power is the demonstration of the ascended life in Christ, directly linked to the ascended thought life in Christ. Let this mind be in you that was also found in Christ.
