THE POWER OF ATTITUDE

Next to knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, nothing is more important than having a good positive attitude.

Your attitude can:MAKE OR BREAK YOUHEAL OR HURT YOUMAKE YOU FRIENDS OR MAKE YOU ENEMIESMAKE YOU HAPPY OR MAKE YOU MISERABLEMAKE YOU A SUCCESS OR MAKE YOU A FAILURE

1. FACT #1; YOUR ATTITUDE - REVEALS THE REAL YOU

Your attitude is more important than:
facts
- circumstances
- what others say
- it’s more important than your past
- your education and your money.

Your attitude is more important than anything else.And Understand that your attitude is much deeper than just a few thoughts you might think or not think.

Your attitude comes out of the core of your being. Your attitude represents your disposition, your outlook, your very character.The Bible says in Pr 23:7; "For as a man thinks in his heart, so he is..." (NKJV)

MATTHEW 15:17-20

Point - Your attitudes always become actions or reactions.


FACT #1; YOUR ATTITUDE REVEALS THE REAL YOU.FACT #2 YOUR ATTITUDE DETERMINES THE SUCCESS AND FAILURE OF EVERY RELATIONSHIP IN YOUR LIFE.What a difference your attitude makes! Your attitude affects every relationship in your life. And sometimes relationships will never get started in the first place -- because many times your attitude has built up walls... making it difficult for people to be around you.Bad attitudes effect your marriage relationships/your relationship with your kids/at work/at church/friendsAnd the thing that makes a bad attitude so destructive is that like the jar of water with the loose lid on it, a bad attitude is eventually going to spill out into some negative actions - destructive words and deeds.

In Numbers 12:1-11, we read about 2 brothers and a sister. One brother Moses, had a good attitude. The Bible says that "Moses was a humble man, more humble than anyone on the face of the earth.." In other words, Moses was teachable and cooperative. He treated people as he wanted to be treated and he lived a life that was properly lined up with his heavenly father.But Moses’ brother Aaron and His sister Miriam on the other hand, chose a bad attitude - and they eventually spilled out. Miriam seems to have had the worst attitude and she infected her brother, Aaron. In verse one of Numbers 12 we read, "Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his cushite wife.."

POINT- They are family members whom Moses thought he could count on and trust, going around behind his back, criticizing him, stirring up trouble among God’s people against their leader, their own brother Moses.

- YOU CAN NEVER TRUST PEOPLE WITH A BAD

ATTITUDE BECAUSE THEY WILL DO THINGS THAT YOU NEVER THOUGHT THEY’D DO

Change your circle!!!!

Miriam had a bad attitude

Most people who stir up trouble do so not out of right spirit & reasons but out of bad attitudes. The fact that Moses had married a Cushite wife was not the real problem - it just shook Miriam’s up. This was just a symptom, an excuse. The real problem was that Miriam had a longstanding bad attitude.This bad attitude stemmed from her jealousy of her brother’s position and leadership. And out of her own poor self-esteem she allowed herself to become critical and choose to cause trouble.Often times the things that we criticize and get all stirred up about are not the problem at all. The problem is our own sour, sick, bad attitude.I’ve seen and you have seen; bad attitudes;Destroy; relationships, marriages, families, work environments, church services...etcYou see whenever you have an individual or a group of people filled with a bad attitude and wearing a loose lid, trouble is bound to happen, things will rapidly get negative.

FACT#3 YOUR ATTITUDE IS ALWAYS YOUR CHOICE

Without a doubt, the human mind is the most awesome creation of God. With it, God has given us the ability to think, to, reason and to choose whether we will focus on positive thoughts or negative thoughts. In every one of our lives there is the positive and the negative. The choice as to which one we will focus on and feed, nurture is up to us. Understand You can’t choose what will happen to you today (it’s beyond your control) -- but you can choose your own attitude - we each have the power to decide how we will respond to what happens to us. - You have the power to choose his own attitude.

- You can choose not to give an attitude to your enemies.
- Just chose joy,
- Choose hope,
- Choose to be positive.

"I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED FOR JOY!
No matter what has happened to you (some of you have had tough times; bad marriages, health$...etc), the attitude choice though is still yours. And understand that Jesus Christ wants to help you choose and cultivate a positive attitude.
Choose our own attitude!!!!!

For you see to blame our bad attitudes on another person or on a difficult circumstance is simply a cop-out. And If we allow events and people to cause us to be negative we are only hurting ourselves more because in addition to everything else we are know forced to live with the effects and misery our bad attitudes will bring.

Misery Loves Company!!!!!!
YOUR ATTITUDE REVEAL THE REAL YOU DETERMINES THE SUCCESS OF EVERY RELATIONSHIP IS ALWAYS YOUR CHOICESTEP ONE START SPEAKING POSITIVE WORDS

first step in becoming a more positive person is to work at learning to speak positive words.

- It does not come naturally.
- It is always easier to talk negatively, to criticize.

POINT- The reality is that you help create the atmosphere in which you live by the words you speak.

1. When your words are positive, you produce a creative, loving, accepting, positive environment.
2. On the other hand when you speak negative words you create suspicion, mistrust and a can’t do anything right atmosphere.- Eliminate negative words,
- Do away with words that hurt and tear down,
- Replacing them with positive words, words that build up, edify and encourage other people.

STEP TWO NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS LOOK FOR GOOD AND YOU WILL FIND IT
And what a positive person does is develop the habit of looking for the best results even from the worst conditions...

- PEOPLE TEND FIND WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR.

- WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE?STEP THREE IS TO TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR THOUGHT LIFE

Let me share with YOU the 3 F’s of taking charge if your thought life:#1 FIX; "Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about it." (Phil 4:6,7 LB)We are not to let our mind wander all over the place, but rather we are to take command of it and choose positive thoughts over negative ones. #2 FILTER; Would you eat out of a garbage can that not only had garbage in it, but had maggots, poisons etc. To do so would be suicide. In like manner if you want to really take control of your thought life you need to filter the garbage out there. #3 FEED; Question: what are you feeding your mind? It matters what we feed our physical body, doesn’t it? Many diseases we have today, from cancer, heart disease to no energy result from an improper diet. It is a fact that eating the wrong things can hurt you. But it is not enough to just stop eating the bad is it. Because if we do not start eating the good we will starve.In the same way it’s not enough to only filter out the garbage from our minds, we also have to feed on the good.-Garbage in garbage out-Good in - good out-There are many source of good books, music..etc-But the greatest source of good thoughts is God’s word.-Put God in get God out.

- Put God’s word into your mind and it will come out in your speech..Feed your minds on verses such as Ephesians 3:20, Is 41:10, Phil 4:19, Heb 13:6

STEP FOUR NEVER SURRENDER LEADERSHIP TO THE NEGATIVE -- ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE POSITIVE

Question: when you feel the mighty onslaught of a negative emotion, how do you handle it? Here’s what you need to do:
1. Admit it.
2. Face it.
3. But don’t give in to it.

You see, one way to destroy a negative emotion is to replace it for example:

REPLACE: anger with lovefear with faithcomplaining with gratitudebitterness with forgiveness judgment with acceptancefeeling sorry for yourself with helping someone else

Advice - Learn to pray out your emotions. Learn to cry them out and pray them out until your change come! Dis you know that Jesus prayed aloud and with emotion?

Hebrews 5:7, we read; "During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him form death and he was heard because of His reverent submission..."
