Correcting a Bad State of Mind

Romans 8:6
"The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace."


Everyone wants life and peace 

Choose to be spiritual minded, to have a spiritual mindset. 
The bent of your thinking - it can be flesh based or spiritual based. 

Spirit means divine influence. 

Dominant interest of the mind will cause the person's will to follow. 
Will follows mind. 
"What am I interested in?" "Is it based on spirit or flesh?" 

Divine influence affects the temperament and disposition of your mind.  It is very easy to end up in a bad mind set. 

He - God, the Spirit,- influences your thinking - that in turn affects your mind. "Why am I like this?" 
Then the mind is corrected. - you feel "That's not good behavior"
Then you become elevated - you think "I can do better" 
You get noble - you then KNOW you are better

All this leads to door #2

You gotta admit that you need to change 
You have to have the desire to want to change

Get a new mind set - this is influenced by what you read, watch, who you go with, who you listen to

Show me who you go with and I will show you who you are
