KP#12 Attitude & Mindset --- The Battle for Your Mind

After we address the 10 laws of the Kingdom with clear cause-and-effect relationships, we now discuss the principles or mindset of the Kingdom. Zig Ziglar said, "Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude. ".

The battle is for our mind first - the thinking and then our will - the decision-making. 
Our present life is the result of the decisions (choices) made in the past. 
To change our life, we must start making different choices and that begins with a new mindset. 
2 Cor 10:3-5 tells us our battle is in the mind and we need to control our thoughts to ensure that they conform to Christ's. 
Rom 12:2 tells us our mind is to be renewed. The consequence is life and peace Rom 8:6 i.e. true success!

The posting Changing Behaviour (1) Mine gives a better understanding of our thinking and decision-making process.

Kingdom-minded believers begin with 
  1. a right mindset of self-worth (identity) and 
  2. maintenance of positive attitudes(Phil 1:3-6, 4, 6-7). 
 (Please also see Satan's Lie and Performance-Trap in the posting Connecting to the Singapore's Dream. to understand your self-worth better) This is shown in the mind map using the BVITS thinking method below:
