2 Corinthians 10:5 (TEV) …we take every thought captive and make it obey Christ.

How can I change my thinking in this area so that I can feel and act differently?

Introduction:
· The farther I get from God, the more trouble I am going to have.

· The closer I get to God, the more my life will be transformed.

1. I need to get fed up with my life.

2. I need to own my sin.

BOX: We are each as close to God as we choose to be.

Psalm 51:1-4 (TEV) - Be merciful to me, O God, because of your constant love. Because of your great mercy wipe away my sins! 2 Wash away all my evil and make me clean from my sin! 3 I recognize my faults; I am always conscious of my sins. 4 I have sinned against you—only against you— and done what you consider evil. So you are right in judging me; you are justified in condemning me.

A. I must get into the habit of a regular spiritual checkup on myself.

B. I must get into the habit of memorizing Scripture.

BOX: Scripture in your mind is the primary way that God speaks to your heart.

3. I must offer myself up to God.

Romans 12:1 (TEV) - So then, my friends, because of God’s great mercy to us I appeal to you: Offer yourselves…

4. I must lift up my praise.
