Brothers and sisters, sometimes learning to keep your mind on the right things is like learning to ride a bike. Remember me in prayer that I take those thoughts captive more and more, but to know when I need to work through something also. I am not sure if there are root to fears or if it is fake. But I know I do not want to dig anything up that I do not need to dig up. Because I was born again as a new creation in Christ Jesus and the old things have passed away. Jesus!

Romans 8: 14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,

This verse has a lot packed into it. Those who have the spirit of adoption in them is with-in their heart. Does that mean you can partake in the world? Yes of course. God created us; to have relationship with others, but most firstly Him. Placing God first in your life of accepting the gospel of the good news of the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ can be life changing. From when we were once spiritually dead; with no knowledge or wisdom or understanding of God, being carnal and brutal in our ways that were contrary to Gods ways. You can be born again by receiving the Spirit of Adoption in which a life changing process is made in which a choice is made if a person will place God first or not. The more we put our Father first in our live living by faith, feasting on the Word of God to remind our selves of scriptures, like you fellow men and women are doing so hear allows us to continue to be fortified in faith, thankfulness, and contentment.

The spirit causes to love all people.
To have peace with others.
To have mercy when mercy is not deserved towards other.
To have forgiveness when forgiveness is not deserved towards another.
To have patience in difficult times, of not desiring to be patient.
To have longsuffering in difficult times that bring forth suffering.

There are so many advantages you as a Child of God have gained by and through faith.

Our series at church is on transformation. Change is outward only. Transformation is changing the inward internal beliefs that bring about permanent inside and outside change to ones life.

That is right, you are right it starts inwardly but does not stop there, it can continue to actually start protruding outwards towards others. (which is love and all the things of the spirit).

You have a mighty arm;
Strong is Your hand, and high
is Your right hand.
Righteousness and justice are the
foundation of Your throne;
Mercy and truth go before Your face.
Blessed are the people who
know the joyful sound!
They walk, O LORD, in the light
of Your countenance.
In Your name they rejoice all day long,
And in Your righteousness they are exalted.
For You are the glory of their strength,
And in Your favor our horn is exalted.
For our shield belongs to the LORD,
And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

(Psalms 89:13-18) NKJV

And he said:

"The LORD is my rock and my
fortress and my deliverer;
The God of my strength, in whom
I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation,
My stronghold and my refuge;
My Savior, You save me from violence.
I will call upon the LORD, who is
worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.
When the waves of death surrounded me,
The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
In my distress I called upon the LORD,
And cried out to my God;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry entered His ears."

(2 Samuel 22:2-7) NKJV

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.

"...My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are one."

I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
You who fear the LORD, praise Him!
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,
And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!
For He has not despised nor abhorred
the affliction of the afflicted;
Nor has He hidden His face from Him;
But when He cried to Him, He heard.

(Psalms 22:22-24) NKJV
