A Mental Revolution

By Pastor Roy

Matthew 4:17 – “Repent! (metanoia) For the kingdom of God is at hand…”

Metanoia – “Turn from your ways and go beyond your mind.”

Law – “Thou Shalt Not”
Grace – “I will.”

Hebrews 8:8-10,12

The Cross – “It is finished!”

Hebrews 8:12 – “…all their sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more.” –God

Romans 5:17 – Gifts: Grace and Perfect Righteousness

Ephesians 4:22-24(AMP) – “Put OFF and Put ON”

Exodus 20:1-5a – Do not make nor serve any Graven Images

Graven Images – made by impressionsphysical and MENTAL

Souls – Like “soft wax” – easily moldable

The WORLD – Currently under the direct influence of the “prince of the air.”  – Ephesians 2:2

He offers ILLUSIONS posing as TRUTH and supports them with Myths

  • Myth #1 – More Options mean More Freedom
  • Myth #2 – More Analysis – More Wisdom
  • Myth #3 – More “Things” accumulated – More Happiness
  • Myth #4 – Progress must be made regardless of the COST

Evolution – CHANGE: A gradual progression in which something changes into a different and usually better form.

Christians – Natural man to Spirit man

The greatest danger in the “Theory of Evolution” – What are we willing to accommodate in our lives in order to affect future change?  Where are we headed as a species?

The destination we chose will determine the Approach we will take to progress.

True Wisdom – Jesus Christ: His approach; His heart; His teachings; His life’s model as the means to Evolutionary Transformation.

True Godly Transformation can’t be accomplished through a world viewpoint with its fake and flawed wisdom and ILLUSIONS.

Illusions create Delusions

Delusion [Def] – “A fixed false belief that is resistant to reason or confrontation with actual facts.”

Matthew 7:7-8 – “Ask – Seek – Knock” and keep doing it!
