More About The Importance Of Godly Attitudes
As the post from the 4th of July says, We Make Our Situations Better Or Worse With Our Attitudes, which is what Joyce Meyer’s TV broadcast messages have been about for the past four days. And since that’s such an important issue for everyone standing for marriage restoration to understand, which Joyce tells just like it is, here are links to her series about maintaining the right attitude, which I strongly encourage everyone to take the time to watch.
The Power of Attitude – Part I
The Power of Attitude – Part II
One of the single most useful and instructive passages of scripture when it comes to changing our attitudes is found in Philippians 4:4-9, which says:
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
What awesome words of wisdom for anyone standing for marriage restoration! And they embody so many of the important principles of marriage restoration. In fact, putting them into practice is absolutely necessary to demolish the strongholds, and the arguments and pretensions that set themselves up against the knowledge of God, and to take every thought captive as described in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, which says The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And learning to live according to the wisdom of these passages of scripture will most assuredly take us a long way toward the restoration of our marriages!
