We all have different mindsets. Our mindset determines our outlook. A worldly mindset results in worldly goals. All our goals in life are to attain wealth and fame. A heavenly mindset is set in kingdom values and purpose. Who is king? If Jesus is King than He will be the one you serve. It is His Kingdom that is being established on earth as it is in heaven. We don't see it all at present because He has not returned yet. However we are to prepare for His soon coming return. We prepare just like John the Baptist prepared for the first coming of Christ. Repentance is key to this preparation. Repentance calls for a change in mindset from a worldly mindset to a heavenly mindset. What does this look like?
A heavenly or kingdom mindset is fixed on Jesus and His will. Just as Jesus sought to do His Fathers will on earth so also we must seek His will. Jesus spent much time in prayer to hear what His Father was up to. We too must spend time in prayer and do what we have been instructed to do. The disciples waited and did as the Holy Spirit led them. We have the same Holy Spirit within us to lead us. Fellowship with the Holy Spirit enables us to know His mind. We than can do as He leads us. Much fruit will be seen for we are led by Him and not the agenda of man. Till the church comes to the place of being led by the Holy Spirit nothing will change. Intimacy with the Holy Spirit is the key to a heavenly mindset. God help us to live in this kingdom mindset so that we hasten the coming of the Lord.
