Setting Your Mind On His Spirit

Romans 8:17 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.  

What spirit are you following after? The Bible says that those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So, are the things that you are thinking and doing pleasing the Spirit or are they being dominated by your sinful nature? The Word talks about how we do not have to live under condemnation. God breaks the sin of bondages of past guilt, failure, addiction, depression, bitterness, unforgiveness and low-self image. "For the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you through Christ Jesus from the power of sin that leads to death." Romans 8:2. As Smith Wigglesworth once said, "Don't look down your nose anymore. Have a rejoicing spirit; get the praise of God in your heart; go forth from victory to victory; rise in faith, and believe it. You must not live in yourself; you must live in Christ." So set your mind on things that please the Lord and listen to the Holy Spirit. Let heaven fill your thoughts and take authority for every thought to be taken captive by His Spirit. Spirit controlled thoughts flow from the mind of Christ. 

I'm praying that you allow God to change your mind on the way that you think. Ask God what one thing is that can help you to live more Spirit driven. When I asked God what word He had for me He said, "perseverance." Press into His word and replace every lie and condemnation with a truth from His word!
