Introduction: I need an Attitude Adjustment (AA) sometimes! Do you? Maybe you need one now. Anyway, as we cooperate with our Lord Jesus, He empowers us to make the ADJUSTMENT. One of the best ways to make the AA, is through our mindset. Paul who was led by the Holy Spirit wrote to the Church of Philippi while in prison. Check the list to see if you need an AA.

1. The Battle is fought and won in the Mind!

“8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Phil 4:8)

Bottom line: If we think on Jesus, here is the result. Choices. Decisions. Think on the Word of God.

2. Solomon pinpointed the problem!

“7For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” (Prov 23:7)

Despite what we are told, we are not what we eat, instead we are what we think.

What thoughts are running through your mind these days?
Thoughts of fear?
Thoughts of joy?
Thoughts of peace?
Thoughts of trouble?
Thoughts of anger?
Thoughts of contentment?

Conclusion: As we think the thoughts of Jesus, we can have the mind of Christ.

“5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” (Phil 2:5)

We indeed can take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

“3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” (2Cor 10:3-5)
