Have This Mind: A List Of Right Thoughts - Is It True

·1 hr·3 clips
Any thought that is not true, noble, pure, praiseworthy, or virtuous is “not on the list.”
1. Kingdom Christian Church Sermon Podcast centers on Philippians 4:6-8 and the question “Is it true?” as the lens for right thinking. 2. The speaker, a pastor/teacher at Kingdom Christian Church, says he is shepherding and teaching the congregation and building a series on “having this mind.” 3. The core purpose is to show why one right thought can guard the heart and mind through Christ Jesus. 4. He quotes Philippians 4:6, “be anxious for nothing,” and calls it a command rather than an option. 5. He ties that command to 2 Timothy 1:7, saying God gives “power, love, and a sound mind.” 6. He says fear and anxiety can move from a thought into a belief pattern and then into speech and action. 7. He uses Job’s wife’s “Curse God and die” as an example of a thought that was not fought early enough. 8. He says prayer for “everything,” thanksgiving, and making requests known to God lead to “the peace of God” guarding heart and mind. 9. He argues that an unwanted thought cannot enter if it is not on the list of things that are true, noble, pure, or praiseworthy. 10. He illustrates that filter with a wedding reception list in Mount Holly, North Carolina, where only invited names had food and seats. 11. He says discouragement, fear, and “it might not happen” are thoughts that should be told, “you’re no longer on my list.” 12. He says truth must be both known and practiced, not merely quoted, for freedom to happen. 13. He rejects incomplete readings of scripture, saying “all things work together for the good” is not a complete quote without Romans 8:28’s condition of loving God. 14. He uses John 8:31-32 to argue that abiding in Jesus’ word is the place where discipleship and freedom begin. 15. He says 2 Timothy 2:23-26 shows that foolish disputes, strife, and confusion can create an atmosphere where “every evil work” appears. 16. He says deception in the last days can take a person captive to do Satan’s will, and he applies that to marriage, family, and personal decisions. 17. The tone is forceful, exhortational, and improvisational, with repeated calls and responses from the congregation. 18. The format is a Bible-study sermon with rapid scripture references, personal stories, and direct application to daily thought life. 19. Listeners who want biblical teaching on anxiety and mental discipline will benefit. 20. Listeners wanting a short, low-illustration devotional may skip it.
