Destructive thoughts precipitate negative patterns of living. Jesus came that we might know the truth and be set free to abundantly live. This week we move from thoughts to actions or behavior. We will contrast the destructive patterns of living with those that are redemptive in our lives. James 4 is God's answer to the questions of how we are made new. It begins with a change of heart or thinking.
We begin to accept the truth God has revealed and see life from a kingdom perspective. We move to trust Christ with all our expectations and accept the realities of our lives with confidence that God wants to work the best for us at all times. Our distress indicates the gap between our expectations and the real circumstances of our lives. We can surrender all our distress to Christ who cares for us. (1 Peter 5:7)
"Applied Truth, Changing Your Life Pattern"
James 4:1-10
1. Identify your myths and recognize their results.
2. Accept the will of Christ and let it filter your thoughts.
3. Tear down the walls of hostility and begin to live.
4. Begin to worship in the face of your difficulties.
(Remember that your thoughts become words, your words become actions, your actions become habits, your habits become character, your character becomes your destiny. Come alive in Christ by allowing the Holy Spirit change your thoughts!)
