— ESTABLISHING RESIDENCY: RIGHT THINKING MUST BECOME RIGHT LIVING
Focal Point - Verse 8 says THINK. Verse 9 says DO.
Scripture — Philippians 4:9 (KJV)
“Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”
Kingdom Principle
Paul doesn't allow right thinking to remain theoretical.
Philippians 4:8 governs meditation.
Philippians 4:9 demands demonstration.
What becomes established internally should eventually become visible externally.
If truth has residency, truth should show up.
If gratitude has residency, gratitude should show up.
If forgiveness has residency, forgiveness should show up.
If faith has residency, faith should show up.
If praise has residency, praise should show up.
The Final Property Inspection
RENTING:
What am I giving mental space to?
CLOSING THE DEAL:
Does this thought pass the Philippians 4:8 inspection?
ESTABLISHING RESIDENCY:
Is what I am thinking becoming visible in how I am living?

FINAL CORPORATE DECLARATION
MY MIND IS VALUABLE REAL ESTATE!
Everything does not get a key.
Everything does not deserve an address.
Everything does not qualify for permanent residency.
I will not rent space to fear.
I will not give rejection an address.
I will not allow offense to become a permanent tenant.
I will not renew bitterness's lease.
I will not give comparison a room.
I will not allow complaining to furnish my mind.
I bring my thoughts under the authority of Jesus Christ.
I EVICT FEAR AND ESTABLISH FAITH.
I EVICT LIES AND ESTABLISH TRUTH.
I EVICT COMPARISON AND ESTABLISH GRATITUDE.
I EVICT BITTERNESS AND ESTABLISH FORGIVENESS.
I EVICT COMPLAINING AND ESTABLISH PRAISE.
The peace of God guards my mental property.
I will think on what is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and worthy of praise.
If I complain, I remain.
If I murmur, I stay overnight.
Therefore, I am changing what I rehearse, changing what I think, changing what I speak, and changing what I demonstrate.
My mind belongs to God.
My thoughts come under Kingdom government.
And everything does not get a key!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
