Summary

In part two of the ‘Self-Mastery’ series, Pastor Erwin McManus brings a powerful message on the importance of attaining mastery over our thoughts. From the words of Paul in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, Pastor Erwin reveals that our minds are the invisible place where our most significant battles take place.

He reminds us that seeking mastery over our thoughts is a spiritual act. God designed us to ‘take every thought captive,’ so that we would not allow a negative thought to take root in our minds. Every thought that does not call us to more is not a thought that aligns with God’s design for us!

This message gives you the tools and encouragement you need to help you take control of your mindset.

0:00.0	Hello, this is Erwin Raphael McManus. I'm the lead pastor of Mosaic. Welcome to our podcast.
0:14.1	Thank you for joining us today. I hope this talk inspires you, encourages you, and transforms you
0:19.8	and that this is just the beginning of a conversation between you and Jesus. Enjoy the message.
0:25.6	Last week we began unwrapping the concept of self-mastery and what are the characteristics of
0:34.4	women and men who demonstrate resilience, perseverance, the ability to see things through who don't
0:41.2	just start well but actually finish well and and even in a very practical everyday way to talk
0:47.6	about this dynamic of discipleship. What does it look like when a person becomes a fully mature
0:54.0	follower of Christ? What does it look like to become a fully mature human being? I think that
0:59.7	sometimes we over-spiritualize the components to what it means to be a healthy human and I cannot
1:07.6	over-enphasize the importance of prayer of being in the scriptures, of living in community and
1:15.6	being a part of a church community like Mosaic. All these are really vibrant and essential to your
1:21.6	spiritual health. What I'm really focusing on is this dynamic of self-mastering and we began
1:30.3	by looking in the first session at the responsibility that all of us have for our lives, for our
1:36.8	life-chains, that a fundamental characteristic of those people who find the resilience and have
1:42.6	the resilience to face all kinds of circumstances and challenges is that they take ownership
1:48.4	over their lives and and if I didn't say clearly enough last week without ownership, nothing will
1:53.9	change. If you do not take ownership over your life, you will not see the change you hope for.
2:00.8	You can pray for it, you can ask God over and over again, you can read the Bible as much as you want,
2:06.4	you can go to church until they throw you out and close the doors but if you do not take ownership
2:13.7	over your life, your life will not change. Now over the last 20 years, that has been a growing
2:21.4	field that has been researching our mindsets, that researches not only our mental health but our
2:27.5	mental resilience and the relationship of how we think to how we live and this is so essential
