To think like a king is to trust God above yourself - not just in the outcome of a situation, but in the way you choose to perceive everything. To be heavenly minded is to consult God in all things. It is to know that no matter what we may see or feel, our Father has a heavenly perspective that is perfect; it is better to align our thoughts with His on the basis of His perfect vision. The Mindset of a King is to choose to surrender your own desire to be right in exchange for the heart and mind of Christ.

Fear has a way of causing you to spiral. It starts with one “what if” and now all of a sudden you are worried about your family, your future and everything in between. I want to remind you that even when the world seems to be falling apart God still has great and mighty things in store for you. God still has plans to give you a future and a hope. God still has exceedingly and abundantly in store for you and He will always do what he said he would do.

Your thoughts don’t control you, so you must learn how to control them. Self-discipline and self-control are abilities that have to be cultivated and practiced over time.

Transformation doesn’t happen passively. You have to work daily to become who God called you to be. You have to commit yourself daily to asking for God’s help in illuminating the thoughts that are deceiving you. Unlearning can be scary. It’s almost like taking off a Band-Aid you didn’t even realize was there and leaving an old wound open. It’s an overwhelmingly vulnerable experience, I know. But it’s worth it. It is worth allowing yourself to become undone because that is the only way that God can build you up into what is accurate according to His design.

Think about the moments in your life when you are feeling anxious, hopeless, angry, offended, or hurt. Who do you think is talking to you in these moments? While the feelings may be valid at times, the arguments are not. My point is that these moments are opportune times for the enemy to steal something from you by planting thoughts in your mind or by tugging at thoughts he previously planted.
