“SET YOUR MINDS!”

Colossians 3:1-4                               (ESV)

“1 IF THEN YOU HAVE BEEN RAISED WITH CHRIST, SEEK THE THINGS THAT ARE ABOVE, where CHRIST is, seated at the right hand of GOD.

2 “SET YOUR MINDS” on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with CHRIST in GOD.

4 When CHRIST WHO is your life appears, then you also will appear with HIM in glory.”

A recent meme displayed the deceptive traits of “the enemy” and how he attempts to manipulate our MINDS to believe whatever he is selling at that moment.  Displaying numerous “catastrophes” that never came to fruition, his lies are always exposed to be exactly that, LIES!   “The enemy”, and all of his minions, aren’t interested in sharing TRUTH, for TRUTH brings PEACE, and he thrives in chaos!

No matter how STRONG we are Spiritually, we are all susceptible to FEAR unless we daily “SET YOUR MINDS” on TRUTH!  When that happens, PEACE floods our lives, fear subsides, and “the enemy” must flee!  

The thing we must realize is that PEACE comes only after YOU HAVE BEEN RAISED WITH CHRIST. not just because we THINK we have been “good”.  Only CHRIST can supernaturally change a life!  Believing anything different is a lie, the antithesis of TRUTH.  That is precisely the reason that we must “SET YOUR MINDS” on things that are above, NOT on things that are on earth.

Make certain that YOUR EYES aren’t swayed by the beautiful things of “this world”, but are FIXED on JESUS CHRIST!  Genesis 3:1 says that the serpent was more “subtle” (deceitful) than ANY other creature that GOD had made.   His trickery can fool even the most mature saints, as evidenced by Peter numerous times in the New Testament.  INTENTIONALLY and PURPOSELY “SET YOUR MINDS” on THE ONE WHO has overcome!!!
