Develop your Kingdom Mindset
Why Kingdom?
Jesus didn't just make a place of escape for us in an ethereal place called Heaven. He actually has a kingdom and wants us to be a part of it to rule and reign with him after this earth passes away. He wants His whole family to be with Him, connected eternally in a new heaven and a new earth.
Why Start with the Mindset?
The mind controls everything about us. We don't even enjoy eating without our mind. When we bite into a crunchy piece of toast or savor a cup of gelato we are having more of a mind experience than a taste experience. The mind moves the body and tells the body what it is experiencing. So it is only natural to start with what moves and motivates the body. The command central if you will.
Change you...change the culture
Culture is the way of life as we have been taught it. You can have different cultures within the same community, all working together for one common goal or you can have every culture for themselves, working against one another and clashing over everything. We get to choose that. Culture is what defines a people, it makes them either remembered fondly or makes people cringe upon mentioning them.
Culture creates Character
Character doesn't just happen, it's cultivated. The only way you can cultivate a plant is to put it in an environment where it can thrive. Character is the same way, creating an environment that will encourage honest, integrity and good moral values will develop character that is worth repeating.
