THE FIRST 30 MINUTES

The most important period of your day is the first thirty minutes after you wake up. What you think during that time sets the pattern for your emotional attitude all day. After beginning your day with thanksgiving, yield yourself anew to God according to Romans 6:11-13. “Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore rule as king in your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies, to make you yield to its cravings and be subject to its lusts and evil passions. Do not continue offering or yielding your bodily members [and faculties] to sin as instruments (tools) of wickedness. But offer and yield yourselves to God as though you have been raised from the dead to [perpetual] life, and your bodily members [and faculties] to God, presenting them as implements of righteousness.” Tell Him you are available to share your faith with the needy one He sends to you. Yield your lips to the Holy Spirit and you will bear fruit for God. As soon as you sense you have grieved or quenched the Spirit, confess your sins and again ask Him for His anointing. IF YOU FOLLOW THESE STEPS, YOUR TEMPERAMENT AND CHARACTER WILL TRULY BE TRANSFORMED!
