Spiritual Mindset – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional July 27th

(Understanding True Spirituality)

TO THE BIBLE: Romans 5:19 NLT
“Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.”

LET’S TALK
Michael was known for his excellent singing voice. However, when he was asked to step down from the choir and assist in ushering, he felt disappointed. Yet, he chose to respond spiritually.

Instead of complaining, he embraced his new role with love and joy. God’s desire isn’t just for us to be spiritual. That’s because the forces of darkness are also spiritual; the people in evil cults and those who worship Satan are spiritual.

What He wants is for us to be spiritual toward Him. He wants us to have our minds in the direction of His Spirit.

Our spirituality, therefore, ought to be within the confines of what His Word describes for us. That’s the environment within which He wants us to function—an environment of love.

Think spiritually; and to be spiritually minded, you must walk in love. Love will help you set your mind on the spiritual implications, the blessings, and spiritual direction of such an action.

So, in your life, always look at things from the position of faith, hope and love. These are the three permanent forces of the spirit; they never fail: “Three things will last forever, faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT).

We also find them in 1 Thessalonians 1:3: “Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of our God and Father.”

Use these three things to examine your mind and to respond to whatever actions are taken for or towards you.

Never see such actions as against you; otherwise, you’re going to have trouble, because to be carnally minded is death.

That means things will begin to go down: your happiness, your level of productivity, and every other index with which to measure one’s success in life will start going down.

Why? Because you brought death in through carnal reasoning. But the Bible says, “…to be spiritually minded is life and peace” (Romans 8:6).

Always see and think spiritually if you want to enjoy life to the full and experience the peace of God that transcends human understanding.

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of your Spirit who guides me into all truth. I am spiritually minded, and I respond to every situation with faith, hope, and love. I see every action and situation through the lens of your Word. I bring glory to your Name as I walk, think and respond spiritually in love always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
