The Mind

This Sunday I preached the first sermon in the series called BATTLE OF THE MINDS - how our carnal mind is at war with our spiritual mind, the Mind of Christ. I have battled in this area for years so feel I have a lot of personal experience & victories to share. Also I long to see people in our congregation free from all sorts of things that hold them in bondage & I firmly believe that dealing with the carnal mind is a strong step in the right direction for all of us.

Here are 7 steps to a free mind:
1.Renew your mind - Romans 12:2
2.Control your thoughts - Romans 8:5
3.Take one step at a time - Proverbs 23:7a
4.Don’t give up - Galatians 6:9
5.Be positive - 1 Peter 3:15
6.Think about what you think about - Colossians 3:2
7.Know your enemy - John 10:10

Right thinking can...
Bring health to your body - Proverbs 4:20-22
and
Bring prosperity to your life - Psalm 1:2-3

Can you believe how powerful this stuff is!!!

Have a listen to the full message here if you like, I really hope there is a gem in there for you.

    I can't wait to listen to your sermon! I feel this is such an important topic. I was even up late last night writing about it for my next post. Thank you for sharing on this subject.

    It is desperately needed!

    "Think about what you think about" ... I like that. This was a really good post. I will be focusing some time on my blog in regards to depression among christians. I have a very close friend who lost her husband to suicide after battling with bipolar. He was a strong believer, a missionary in fact, and led so many people to Christ. His wife, Natalie, has a heart and passion for mental health awareness among our churches. She will be posting for me soon on this topic. I really enjoyed this post. Thank you.

The Tale of a Church Planter

  The ups, downs, frustrations, joys and everything in-between on the roller coaster ride of church planting. I can honestly say that no recipe or formula for church building exists - God does not work in this way! D7 Church is proof of this. Not because we didn’t try, we did try just about everything. Our bookshelf is lined with books that tell you what works and what doesn’t work. Our computer is filled with files of blog posts from mega-church pastors, documents with strategy from other churches. We have attended conferences and visited other churches to try and learn about building a church.  It was only when we gave up and said so to God that we began to have breakthrough. This is our story.

Nature's Way - Hair Colouring

Good news for those of you living in the EU but sadly bad news for my USA friends.  Europe is well ahead of the USA in its responses to potentially dangerous chemicals in health and beauty products. On 1st December 2007 a ban was imposed on 22 hair dye substances issued by the European Commission.  These ingredients had been linked to bladder cancer in a 2001 University of Southern California study.  Günter Verheugen, the European Commission Vice-President, said, "Substances for which there is no proof that they are safe will disappear from the market.  Our high safety standards do not only protect EU consumers, they also give legal certainty to the European cosmetics industry." The USA however, has not required manufacturers to file data on ingredients or report cosmetic-related injuries.  If you wish to find the exact 22 ingredients do an Internet search for ‘Europe Bans 22 Hair Dye Chemicals’ The most dangerous hair dye ingredients are the Arylamines chemi...
