THE FLESH: A WAY OF THINKING

Your prosperity is directly connected to how you think. If you can change the way you think, you can change the way you act, which directly affects your future.

A. The "flesh" is a mindset that is contrary to the Word of God: -
1. How you think determines your destiny.
2. Satan competes for your thoughts.

B. Your health and prosperity are connected to how you think (3 John 2): -
1. A prosperous soul is one that is in line with the Word.
2. You will prosper to the degree your soul prospers.
3. The soul is the connector between the physical and spiritual realm.
4. You will have whatever has your attention.
5. Who you think you are is who you will become.

C. God is looking for Christians who think "soberly"(Rom 12:1-3): -
1. You must renew your mind to the Word of God.
2. Satan can't just devour anybody; he looks for those who are "intoxicated in their thinking" (1 Peter 5:8).
a. The Devil researches you to see how much Word is in your mind.
b. If your thinking aligns with God and His Word, Satan has no access.
3. As a Christian, you have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16); don't allow any thought to make you doubt who you are and what you have.
4. The Word is the seed that gives birth to right thinking (Luke 8:11).
a. The Word is Spirit and life; the Word is God. You can't separate them.

D. You have potential in your mind, but it must be exercised: -
1. Plant the right seed in your heart.
a. Seedtime and harvest never cease (Genesis 8:22).
b. The Word is the origin of all results; it will produce a harvest.
2. Exercise, or work, the Word that you have planted. How hard you exercise determines the size of your harvest.
