Stott’s
Thots for 2014
Renewing
of Mind
By Darrel E Stott
Today millions of
Christians are preparing themselves for a difficult year over come with
hopelessness and discouragement.
But my name is
Darrel Stott and I am preparing myself for the greatest year of my life! I am planning on getting more people saved
and healed in 2013 than any year of my life.
I am planning on going to new countries and changing them with the power
of God. This will be the year of
greatest missionary offerings in my ministries history.
What is the
difference between them and me? “What makes the difference is “Our thoughts
and what we allow into our minds”.
Many times when we
listen to the preacher share his sermon he spends 80% of his time telling us
what the problem is but only 20^ with the solution. Today I would like to attempt to encourage
you with the KEYS or solutions that launch you to you potential with Christ.
Problem:
The Bible tells us that
“perilous or difficult times will come” before Jesus returns to the earth for
His church. Because of the “financial
crisis” many are facing very difficult times.
The crisis has affected every part of our lives. The result is that now many people have lost
their direction, and are depressed not able to cope with the emotions they are
feeling.
Solution:
The solution is not
a better job or moving to a new city.
But we must always live each day according to the WORD of GOD. In good times or bad times there is a battle
field where the devil attempts to take you for the one purpose of “ROBBING OUR
JOY”. The battle takes place in our
minds.
Movies:
People by the
millions go to the movie theatre and pay their $10 to watch in 3D the “Transformers”. Wow this is so exciting! So Amazing! When the transformers come there is hope and a
solution for all people.
In
2013 we must put of effort each day into “The Transformed Mind”
Paul writes to us “Don't copy the behavior and customs of this
world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you
think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and
pleasing and perfect.” Romans 12:2
How does God change you from being a discouraged depressed
person into an optimistic energetic successful person?
God wants to change the way you think.
The solution is found between our ears in our mind.
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your
mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful
to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will
Look
what the Plan of God is for you and your family in 2013
“I will make your way prosperous, and then you
will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do
not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you
wherever you go.” Joshua 1: 8-9
Refuse to think negative thoughts and bad things
about President Obama instead think the thoughts of God
“God has a big important agenda of “Blessing and
prosperity He desires to implement in your life in 2013”. God wants heavens agenda to come to you and
for you not to be like other people.
God says to you “Set your minds on things that
are above, not on things that are on earth”
Col 3:2
Fear
and Worry are not allowed in your Thoughts
Listen God is talking to you today: “Do not be worry about anything, but in
everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Phil 4:6-7
Remember
please that the “natural Christian mind and the Spiritual Mind of God will
never agree and always be enemies of each other.
A wonderful pastor talked to me this week with
his wife. They said “Darrel others tell
lies and make rumors of us and our ministry and there is nothing we can
do. All doors are closed to us and no
one wants us”.
Yes there is something they can do if they know
the WORD of GOD. They must rejoice and
be happy when people tell lies about them.
"God
blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say
all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. Matt 5:11
Continually people tell lies and make unfounded
rumors against me. I accept this because I am a leader not a
follower in the Kingdom of God. This is normal to me. My response must be to rejoice.
Conclusion
It does not matter what others think of you but
what does God think of you. As long as there
are sinners, sick people with no hope we are destined for success as we have
the solution through Jesus Christ.
Are you really a Christian? Does the Father, Son and Holy Spirit really
live inside of you?
Do they expect to control you daily, lead you and
prosper you?
Do angels really surround you bringing the
resources of heaven to you so you will be successful?
Then snap out of these demonic moods and do the
works of God. No person or demon in hell
can stop you!
