Teaching:
What is a Mindset?
A mindset is a group of thoughts that make up a whole way of thinking. It is a set of attitudes, thoughts and beliefs that you hold when you make a choice.
What kind of thoughts can we have?
-Thoughts, feelings, beliefs, convictions, reaction, ideas, etc.
Have you considered asking God what His mindset or thoughts are? Have you asked Him what He thinks about you? If we do not know the thoughts of God, how can we come into agreement with Him?

John 3:16-17
God’s thoughts are about us, and He wants us to walk with Him. He does not want anyone to perish. God wants to restore the relationship that Adam and Eve had with God. They walked with God. God met with Adam and Eve. Jesus has made it possible for us to have this relationship with God.
What is God’s plan?

Ezekiel 37
When we have the river of living water flowing within us it reaches and touches those around us. The river of living water will flow out from us as we walk with God.
Ankle Deep - may be a personal who has unbelief and walks in traditions of man. They are acquainted with scripture.
Knee Deep - They know the word, but don’t put the word into action.
Hip Deep - “Half in-Half out” They know the word and have studied it, but still not all-in.
[With all of these, there is still a level of control and option to leave.]
Plunging in - "All-in". Greater work is being done through the life of the believer. The river of God flows through you. Your soul is attentive to your Spirit and in alignment God.
There are different levels of relationship on our journey of learning to walk with God.
Matthew 16:24-28
To follow Jesus, we must be all-in.

We must let go of things that produce death in our life, so we may gain life. In Christ, we have so much life that we have life to give away!
Philippians
Apostle Paul learned that nothing in the world was worth more than knowing Christ. We should want to get to that place where we are all-in with Christ, and we joyfully give up own life (desires, will) to gain His life.

Our partnership with Christ (and each other) is for today. Today is the day of Salvation. Life with God gives us rest and peace.
