Change Your Mindset (Part I): life dictated by God, not dictated by others

Live Life 100%

Change Your Mindset 
Branon Dempsey

Welcome to episode 222!
If you're only 99% happy, it's because your 1% is broKen. Many leaders in the church always hope for things to be better without doing the hard work of change. When it comes to that 1% that stands in their way: imperfections, people, opinions, weak boundaries and lack of purpose, they stop because the work gets too hard. Learn to stop stopping yourself, change your mindset to Christ-mindedness, so you may live life and ministry in the full 100%.

In today’s session, we will cover: 
- Boundaries
- Opinions of others
- Responsibilities 
- Real Purpose
- Collaboration


When I started out...
Was at the church all the time
Led everywhere I could
Lived in every ministry

but...
I had no life of my own
Always cared about what others think
Surrounded my life with people to tell me what to do
Wasted time, energy and family - all for the sake of "being" a minister
...or a good Christian

This is not true ministry
This is not real life

Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:5


Point 1
Real life is about learning and living with true boundaries
What's yours
    - Your say / your feelings
    - Your attitude
    - Your behavior
    - Your growth in Christ
    - Develop boundaries that you own

What's not
    - Other people's opinions
    - Let people be people
    - Their decisions / don't infiltrate
    - You can't control what they do or don't like
    - Develop boundaries to not change others

Scripture: Job 26:10


Point 2
Learn to be who God has called you to be as his child, as his worshiper, as his minister.

When I started out
I lead worship
Helped and Bands 
Served everywhere I could
But I lost myself


You are God's kid, no one else's
Eternally, there is no one other than God to answer to
He loves you for who you are, not what you've done
He wants to take you as you are, not leave you where you were
Ministry is given by God, directed by the Spirit and mediated by Jesus
He owns your ministry, not you, not your people

Scripture: 1 John 3:1

Conclusion:
Are you 100% happy?
If you are only 99% happy, then the 1% unhappy will always crush you. Be brave to change your mind, and to make changes in order to be 100% happy.

You need to be 100% happy 
- where God has placed you now
- What He is doing now
- The ministry you have now
- The people you have now
- Change is about how you grow, not how you grieve

You will never change, 
Things will never change 
if you're always thinking 
that the next place will be better.
 
Your next step 
is in the place you are now 
- Make it better
- Know you're God's kid
- Know your about the Father's business
