📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
ROMANS 8:5-8 - For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

| 0:00.0 | Good morning and welcome back to the morning mindset from live build change. |
| 0:09.2 | We are here to help you get your mind right for the morning, for the day, so that you can live a life that's honoring to Christ. |
| 0:17.0 | We have been walking through Romans, chapters 6, 7, and 8, and we are in chapter 8, today talking again about verse 5, which we got into |
| 0:26.4 | yesterday, where the apostle Paul says, those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live |
| 0:34.9 | according to the spirit set their minds on the things of the spirit. |
| 0:39.9 | Continuing in verse 6, he says, for to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the flesh is death but to set the mind on the spirit is life and peace |

| 1:37.3 | So with such a powerful statement being made, it's important that we understand exactly what it means. |
| 1:43.7 | What does it mean to set your mind on the things of the spirit? |
| 1:47.8 | Well we know from Galatians chapter 5 that the fruit of the spirit, the kinds of things that |
