Thoughts for Today -Set your mind above

SET YOUR MIND ON THE ABOVE, NOT ON THINGS THAT ARE ON THE EARTH .FOR YOU HAVE DIED AND YOUR LIFE IS HIDDEN WITH CHRIST IN GOD. WHEN CHRIST ,WHO IS OUR LIFE,IS REVEALED,THEN YOU ALSO WILL BE REVELALED, WITH HIM IN GLORY
COLOSSIANS 3:2-4




BILLY GRAHAM QUOTED -A NATION IS MORE POWERFUL WHEN IT UNITES IN EARNEST PRAYER TO GOD THAN WHEN ITS RESOURCES ARE CHANNELED INTO WEAPONS ..WHO KNOWS WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF MILLIONS OF BELIEVERS AROUND THE WORLD AVAILED THEMSELVES OF THE GREATEST PRIVILEGE THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN THE PRIVILEGE OF INTERCESSORY PRAYER?

I BELIEVE WE ARE LIVING IN SOME DARK DAYS AND TO BE HONESTI AM CAREFUL WHAT I WATCH ON TV ...IT IS FULL OF DARKNESS , CRIME MOVIES AND THE WAYS OF THE WORLD

JESUS SAID SET YOUR MINDS UP ABOVE NOT ON THINGS THAT ARE DOWN HERE
IT WAS ALSO EXPRESS IN PHILIPPIANS 4:8 MENTIONS
For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]. (AMP)

I KNOW WE ARE IN THE WORLD BUT WE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD
AS THE WORLD BECOMES DARKER LET US BE TUNE IN TO THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT
WHEN THINGS GO WRONG RUN TO GOD HE IS THE KEY TO EVERYDAY PROBLEMS AND IF THINGS DONT WORK OUT HE HAS ANOTHER BUT BETTER PLAN FOR YOUR CURCUMSTANCES .
Can we pray for justice, and yet love our enemy at the same time? The answer is yes…We will magnify the mercy of God by praying for our enemies to be saved and reconciled to God. At the personal level we will be willing to suffer for their everlasting good, and we will give them food and drink. We will put away malicious hatred and private vengeance. But at the public level we will also magnify the justice of God by praying and working for justice to be done on earth, if necessary through wise and measured force from God-ordained authority.



John Piper
