How To STAY In A Godly Mindset......

This is something we should strive to achieve daily.  This should be our goal: morning, noon and night.  Since Satan is the King of this world, then we already know that we are going to expect MANY trials and struggles.  We shouldn't be surprised when things happen to us on a daily/weekly basis.  We are IN this world, not OF this world.  Our home is not here, so it only makes sense that we are going to be foreign aliens here.  So now we get into the topic: How Do We Stay In A Godly Mindset?  We need to have a washing of Gods Word daily.  We need to renew our minds daily.  In doing this, then the truth is shown to us, and have the instructions we need throughout each day.  Find favorite scriptures that speak to you, and mean something to you.  Get these scriptures memorized, or even written on index cards.  For every negative thought, action, etc counteract it with 2 positive things (2 scriptures)  We need to work on getting EVERY thought in the obedience of Christ Jesus.  Since these mental attacks aren't a physical thing we can see, they are harder to notice.  We need to train ourselves when we can see these attacks coming.  When someone says a harsh word to you, or makes a comment about your image, that is when you look at yourself and remind yourself who you are IN CHRIST.  ALL THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY AND YOU ARE BRAND NEW!!!  People hear this over and over, and just nod it off, they don't believe it and take it for what it is.  We can choose to receive things or not too.  When someone says something bad over you, you can choose to not receive it.  When someone does something bad to you, you can stay godly by doing something nice back to them.  They won't understand it, they might not even notice it but God sees EVERYTHING.  We need to know that we are held accountable by God, and not others.  So we answer to him not others.  Once we understand this, we go by his standards.  He says to forgive, then we do it.  There aren't "terms" with people on when they Deserve our forgiveness.  As you can see from all of this, it is alot to take in.  We can't do it on our own, we need Gods help.  We need Gods Word.  Start off doing this by getting scriptures that speak to you, and go from there.  Apply the scriptures in times of trials and negativity.
