Strengthen Yourselves in the Lord
Submitted by gail on Tue, 04/21/2009 - 22:05.
Ok, I haven't done this in awhile. I am posting because of a conversation I had with Alan tonight about my class based on Bill Johnson's book, Strengthen Yourself in the Lord.
We were discussing the chapter on thankfulness tonight. Being thankful is one of the tools Pastor Bill lists as a way to strengthen yourself. As I was preparing for tonight's class, the Lord gave me these thoughts about our lives, so I write them here for you.
What we think affects how we act...how we act affects how we behave (which for me is how we act over and over)....how we behave affects what we receive....what we receive affects how we live....and how we live affects the fruit we bear.
Ways of thinking begin in our mind....those thoughts determine our emotions....they affect our actions....which creates our lifestyle....which produces fruit in our lives....which creates our inheritance....which leaves our legacy.
So we all must decide now what we want to leave as a legacy. We were taught this weekend by Kris Vallotton that we are not living just for ourselves....we are living for future generations. So we all must decide to live with a purpose and on purpose. This challenges each of us to focus and learn to strengthen ourselves in God....we must run our race with endurance and victory for all those who come behind us!
