3 mindsets that keep Christians stuck
Overcome these mindset limitations, and life will unlock before your eyes. 1. Money is the root of all evil... This is a lie, the devil would love for you to think money is evil. Scripture says "the LOVE (obsession) of money is the root of all evil." Money is a powerful tool, and God wants his children to have an abundance of it, meaning having more than you need. But if your mindset is stuck on lack, on the risk rather than the reward, and thinking in nickles and dimes and not millions or billions, wealth is going to be very hard to come by. 2. Praying from a state of desperation, transaction, complaining, asking for permission... Scripture says "when you pray, believe you have received it, and it shall be yours." This means do LESS asking, and do MORE commanding. When Jesus calmed the storm he didn't say "God, please allow me to calm this storm. Will you let me do it?" He said "BE STILL." He didn't ask God for permission, instead he knew the permission and the power was already his, and he didn't hesitate to use it. 3. Thinking that because it's what's on the inside that counts and not the outer appearance, that you don't need to be in shape... You are not your outer appearance, but your outer appearance IS a reflection of who the soul behind it is. As cute as it is to think that it's all about whats on the inside and not the outside, the truth is if you don't have enough fitness to walk up a flight of stairs without gasping for air, or if your stomach is hanging over your jeans like a melted ice cream cone, people are going to respect you less, you're going to feel less confident in your own skin, and you're definitely not going to be operating in the full capacity that God has called you to operate in. Unless you live under a rock or in Bali, you probably go to church every Sunday and find yourself surrounded by people who are fat, narrow minded and barely getting by financially. This is NOT how Christians are supposed to be - this is the result of the devil relentlessly attacking the church to give Christianity a bad look... BE THE CHANGE. Be the reason someone changes their mind about what it means to be a Christian. Get healthy, get wealthy, be an inspiration and a glowing light to those around you.
