Today, we want to see how God’s word teaches us that the higher we want to go in the Lord, the higher we must go in the way we think. If we can think like we’ll think in heaven we’ll experience more of heaven here on earth. Excellent thinking produces excellent living. Change your thoughts, change your life. There is no greater obstacle to victory than "Stinkin' thinkin"

“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not 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.” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NIV)

Pastor Dale talks about at a man named Gideon, who went from a wimp to a warrior by changing the way he thought; raising his thoughts to the level of God’s opinion of him. (Judges 6:11-16 NIV)

Gideon was a Prisoner of his thoughts. He was caught in a victim and poverty mindset, blaming God, and surrendering hope. His hopelessness was not based on truth but on what he believed about his situation. The most important thing about your life isn’t the situation you’re in; it is what you Believe about the situation.
