What Reality Do You Live From?

What reality do you choose to live from? Are you listening to the world or God? Does the earthly realm and the world of celebrities dictate beauty? Do the talking heads of the internet tell you what to value? Does the reality of your friends' highlight reel on Facebook determine how you are doing in your appearance? Your job? Your parenting abilities or failures?

If we are truly of God, why do we live from the reality of the world? When we became believers the Holy Spirit came to dwell within us. This means you are holy. Your spirit is beautiful and free.

Yet, some of us choose to remain focused on the worldly perspective rather than looking from heaven down. Why? For me, it feels like a lot of is just a habit. But, I also feel the media I listen to or watch, the people I choose to spend time with, and other elements can really lead me back into the worldview.

God wants you to agree with what He says about you. To really be a mover and a changer of worlds you need to step away from the worldview so you can be an influencer of the world not a needy, clingy person who wants the world's approval.

Spend a moment with God. What does He want you to know about Him? What does He want you to know about you. Choose to agree with Him.

Consider doing what I am going to do. Have praise music running continuously in your home. Just on low volume is powerful will change the atmosphere of your home or office. Personally, I find the IHOP KC prayer room live set great http://www.ihopkc.org/prayerroom/, but anything you like will be great. Praise is a weapon. And this, my friends, is a war of the mind. Be on the offensive so that you can be a powerhouse for God rather than weak, seeking man's approval.
