Fresh Air
Last week we talked about when you are in the doldrums, you need a breath of fresh Air.
Last Week we discovered the first step in taking a Breath of Fresh Air
Step #1 - Fall in love with Jesus
Here is the theme verse
One of the things that’s messed up in our culture these days is our attitudes.
rioting, intimidation at politicians homes,
End Time Attitudes
Paul wrote to Timothy about end times and the attitudes and philosophies that will occur in the end times.
There will be many wrong attitudes.
Look at these uns.
Ungrateful
Our culture is totally self focused.
Most people are focused on what we want to the point that we forget to even see what we already have much less be thankful for what we have.
ILL - Iphone Xs is out.... mine is a piece of junk… right?
It’s lighter etc, Anyone remember when you ran with a portable CD player… had to run real smooth so it would not skip.
The better off that we are getting the worse off we are.
We have choice anxiety - 40 different restaurants to choose from.
Unholy
We are making choices that pollute our hearts.
When you compromise.
When you allow Compromise into your life, it will destroy you spiritually, torture mentally, and rob you of any joy that you had.
When we compromise, we carry around guilt and shame of the things that only you know about.
Compromising holiness is an attitude that destroys.
Only Jesus can fix it.
He forgives but he also cleanses you.
You can have Jesus fix that today.
Unholiness is an attitude that has to be repented from and forgiven.
Unloving
Do you know what love is?
Greek word for God’s Love - Agape which means unconditional love… a completely unselfish love.
Showing love is when you intentionally choose to do something caring or helpful.. regardless of the cost to yourself.
Paul says here that in the last days people will not be moved by love for one another.
(sex trafficking, abortion, elder abuse, a complete disregard for life.
People will not love others, but will become selfish looking out for themselves.
We live in an un-loving time.
This attitude poisons out lives.
This is a condition of your heart that will suck the life out of you.
Unforgiving
Unforgiveness is probably the most dangerous attitude of all.
Unforgiving people walk around carrying bitterness… they always seem to be angry at someone.
This also sucks the life out of you.
You probably know someone that hates the holidays because members of their family don’t get along... go to 2 Christmases because of unforgiveness.
divorce / sisters can’t stand to be around each other...
Here we are laying claim to the grace of God and we are unforgiving.
You can’t lay claim to the Grace and forgiveness of God and still be unwilling to release others in your life.
Forgive it and move on.
Don’t keep trying to discuss it and figure out whose right or wrong.
Stop blaming and forgive.
Especially for Followers of Jesus.
Your problem is not other people, it’s the devil and your corporation with him.
He is trying to destroy your life.
All of these are End Time Attitudes.
God wants you to have an incredible, abundant life.
He wants you to be blessed, to be happy, for you to have a great life.
They question is How?
The first step was to fall in love with Jesus, but the next most important thing is the decisions you make about the conditions of your heart.
You have more to do with this than you realize.
He brings a breath of fresh air.
How do we do this?
How to we live an abundant life?
Good Medicine
What we all need is a Breath of Fresh Air… especially in our attitudes.
We will call it Good Medicine.
Some of you are sick or you know people who are sick… who are in the doldrums.
My goal is for you to experience a Breath of Fresh Air that puts the wind back into your sails .
Then for you to be a Breath of Fresh Air to the people around you.
Most of us feel we can’t do anything about it.
I gave you 4 “uns” and now I am going to give you 4 steps to take.
Simply - Your attitude determines your altitude.
1. Make the choice every day.
You have to choose your attitude every day, not just every now and then.
It’s a choice.
You cannot trust your feelings, you have to determine to make the choice even when you don’t want to have a good attitude.
Your attitudes will not take care of itself.
Life is 10% what happens to you & 90% how I react to it.
Remember, it’s not a feeling, it’s a choice.
when bad stuff happens to me, I don’t want to react right, I get mad just like you… We have to choose.
Some people think controlling their attitude is out of their hands.
That’s not true, it’s your choice.
You can choose.
At the beginning of each day… YOU decide you are going to find the positives.
ILL - Readers Digest - A senior Citizen was moving into the nursing home said this.
Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.
Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how I arrange the furniture, it depends on how I arranged it in my mind.
You have to pray.
Some people pray...
Dear Lord.
So far I am doing alright today.
I have not gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or self indulgent.
I have not whined, cursed, or eaten sweets.
However, I am going to get out of bed in a few minutes, and I will need a lot more help after that.
Amen.
Seriously, this verse would be a great prayer to pray every day.
thoughts, feelings, words - please you Lord
2. Develop a high appreciation for life.
How?
People who have a high appreciation of life… know that God wis going to work it out for the good.
So nothing gets them down.
It’s an attitude that God can do anything,
