Ephesians 4:17-24
Introduction
You can change your life by changing your thoughts
When God wants to change us, He will begin with our thoughts.
When Satan wants to corrupt us, he will begin with our thoughts.
Background
The mind is the battleground!
Paul was afraid that they would be distracted from their focus on Christ.
Paul warns the Ephesians against slipping back into worldly thought patterns.
Paul instructs us on how we can Master our Minds…
1A.
We Must Understand the Significance of Our Thoughts (17)
1B.
Our thoughts will determine our behavior
You are what you eat; you are what you think
Ø If you would not eat garbage, you should not think garbage.
(Proverbs 23:7 KJV) "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: …."
The thought is the father of the deed
Ø You sow a thought, you reap a deed
Ø You sow a deed, you reap a habit
Ø You sow a habit, you reap a character
Ø You sow a character, you reap a destiny
(James 1:14-15 NIV) "but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.
{15} Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."
Social scientist found that…
Ø What the mind attends to it considers.
Ø What the mind does not attend to it dismisses.
Ø What the mind attends to continually, it believes.
Ø What the mind believes it eventually does.
