Out With The Old In With The New
Mark 2:22
Proverb 23:7: No man rises above what he thinks. What you see manifesting is a result of what you think. If someone says to you you are blessed. But you don’t think you are blessed nothing can happen. New wine must be put into New wine bottles.
Jesus always uses parables to declare truth so that people can relate with the truth in a practical way.
In the Mark Passage. Wine is not really the subject matter. Fasting was. The underlying principle about the parable is what we need to concern ourselves with. Jesus was trying to say when you come into the kingdom of light you cannot do things in the kingdom of God with mindset of the kingdom of the darkness. Someone of us still behave the old way.
Nothing could be worse than a wrong mentality. Some people may say being blind is the worst that can happen to them and opinion may differ. But this is not the worst that could happen to a man. No matter the vision you have if you don’t have a vision for your life you are still blind. SO it has to do with your mindset. Because we have seen blind people achieve greatness.
If you think that you are successful you will succeed If you think like a victim you will never make it. Nothing defines mentality like your mentality. Your mentality speaks to your mindset and to your preconceived ideas. It speaks to how you process information that comes to you. At how you arrive at a conclusion of your environment and what life throws at you If you think royalty every closed door will open. How you think determines how you act. How you respond to certain things tell me who you are. As a man thinketh ih=n his heart so he is. A failure mentality makes a failure. You are not a failure because you fail. You are a failure because you refused to get up. Tell me who has never failed or have failure as part of their story. Is anyone who has achieved greatness who has not failed before. Nothing will reveal your purpose to you like when you fail. When you don’t know God in the valley you cannot know him on the mountain. Its takes a sick man to know him as a healer.
If you think you can’t make it you won’t make it. It is in the time of trouble that you will know the integrity of your potential. When you have a survival mentality and you have never swam before you will stay afloat. When you come into the kingdom you have got to have a brainwash because you have come to the city of our God where there is no impossibility. It means there is no door that can be shut to you. Do you know who you are from. You are better than your past has revealed.
Kingdom mentality. From today you must happen to life. With God nothing truly shall be impossible. You just have to be connected to the source. To the king. That’s why the Bible says Seek ye first the kingdom and all these things the gentiles are running after will be added to you. Give the values and the kingdom priority in your life and your decision-making process. If you say you are a Kingdom citizen you don’t make decision without first consulting the king. If David ever thought he is who is brother says he is he would never have become king and made it in life. David
V29; David said what have I not done. Is there not a cause? There is a purpose why am here. It has nothing to do with my being naughty. It has to do with my assignment and my destiny. Some people have shipwrecked their destiny because someone says something to the and they just get angry. The woman said even that which is given to dogs give it to me. And Jesus marvelled and said what a great faith.
Matthew 13:31-35
Jesus says the kingdom of heaven of which you have become a citizen is like a little seed that becomes a whole tree. He says there is something in the kingdom that brings multiplication. The principle Jesus wants us to understand here is the principle of influence. When the seed comes into contact with the soil it will be influenced by the soil for growth. When Jesus says thy kingdom come He is saying thy influence come. Do you have a kingdom mentality? A kingdom mentality will always see it differently.
John 4:35
When we share testimonies of our life it is meant to influence people to desire to become citizen. So, Jesus is saying the harvest is ready to be plucked.
So, you can’t get new results with old mindset. Or new results with old ideas. People make all sorts of new year resolutions. But talk is really cheap. What changes your mentality to the right is deeper than what you just say. And you still want to continue in the old ways of doing things. You have to make new plans in harmony with your resolution. Where you want to go will determine the friendship you keep. A companion of fools will be destroyed. Run with a different pack. Walk with people on the right path and you will find yourself in the right way.
It is possibility mentality that makes a giant because it is only those who dare that will deliver results. Do you dare to walk in your status as heir to the throne and a citizen of the Kingdom. You need to learn how to harmonise with who you are now. And this will require a change of mind that you now embrace the mind of Christ. And say, I am different now. I don’t run with the old crowd. You set new goals for yourself.
Kingdom mentality is not a defeatist mentality but a victor and a conqueror mentality. The wrong mentality says I will believe it when I see it. But God says believe it before you see it. That’s the Kingdom mentality.
Romans 12:1-2
No hanky-panky and premarital sex. When a girl keeps Gods standard the man will fall in line.
First thing is that our mind must change about the way you see things. Your body needs to be presented to God as holy. You cannot allow the patterns of these world to control your life. When you are sick you tell your body to conform because you are in a new Kingdom where there is no sickness. You have to renew your mind and see things differently. Submit yourself to the intelligence of the Holy Spirit.
What is scaring the world should not scare you because you have akingdom mentality.
