Good morning, Libil Change Family. I am so thankful to have you along once again for

this morning mindset edition. This morning mindset is aimed at helping you get your mind right for the day and it's

based on the truth of God that comes from the scriptures and I'm going to do something

a little bit different today not terribly different somewhat, because I've been going through individual

passages of scripture and bringing out truth, and that's such a rich thing to do, and I'm going to continue

doing that over the weeks to come. But something I wanted to talk about today

is a little more general in nature and that has to do with why it is so important

that we get our minds right in relationship to the word of God. And you see it's a

vital thing because we tend to think of possibilities based on what we believe is true.

Now let me say that to get in a different way.

What we think is possible usually comes from what we believe to be true.

And so if you grew up in a family where you heard from a mom or a dad,

quite often that you did not measure up or that you weren't good enough.

Or if you grew up in a circumstance where you experienced quite a few personal tragedies

and failures.

What your childish mind at the time might have come up with

was that this happened to you because there's something wrong with you. And while that is likely the furthest thing

from the truth, the reality is that it has become what you believe. It has become your reality, in other words, in that reality,

it's not reality in the sense of what is truly real, but it's reality as you perceive it. And once you've come to

believe is what you believe and what you believe and what you believe

limits what you think is possible and so let's unpack that for a minute. If you don't think it's possible for you to

break free of some besetting sin or some bad habit, then you're going to lack motivation to try to overcome it.
