The Battle of Attitudes (IV) Your attitude is a determining factor in achieving success in life. Releasing your faith and staying in a state of expectation before God are the keys to seeing God move on your behalf. The greatest desire of the Father is for His children to be blessed. Part of being blessed is understanding the role you play in receiving that blessing. You must maintain a positive attitude. When negative circumstances arise, keep things in perspective (Ephesians 4:23, AMP). 1. God wants to use the attitude of Believers to bring people to Christ. a) See things in Gods perspective, and strive to be positive about your progress. b) Take the initiative to change any negativity in your attitude. c) Let the same attitude of servitude that was in Jesus also be in you (Philippians 2:5, AMP). 2. Base your attitude on Gods Word, not on your circumstances. 3. Dont curse those who curse you and dont try to avenge yourself, instead bless them (Romans 12:14-21, AMP). a) Consider the words you say, be more selective about them before you speak. b) Be kind to one another. Dont have a snobbish attitude because of your knowledge of the Word of God or revelation. Have the same humble attitude Jesus had. c) God rebukes and disciplines those He loves. Therefore, be enthusiastic about His corrections and turn away from those things that displease Him (Revelations 3:19, AMP).
