Renew your mind…
Welp… you heard it here first. Its all on you. You are to blame or to bless… but again its clear…YOU renew your mind… don’t blame me.
 
If you go to the gym one day for 3 hours… you will not change one bit… but you will be very tired.
If you go 3 days… no change
If you go 3 weeks… no change
If you go 3 months… a little change
If you go 3 years… you may not believe what you look like
And in some type of twilight zone world if you could work out your whole life and compare it to you not working out your whole life… you would not recognize yourself. 
 
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
 
New Living Translation
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
 
Look we all have seen kids just succumb to conformity… they slowly dress, talk, act like all the other cool kids… maybe if its our kid we think its harmless… or maybe we put a stop to it… but what is most baffling to me - I hang around a lot of men who are just as easily swept up into conformity…
They watch the same crap, they have the same lazy schedule, they drink the same stuff at the same time at the same place, they complain about the same things, they dream of the same things, they have the same wishes and fears…. 
Dude, you are just like everyone else. You have conformed to the pattern of this world. 
What if I told you that you don't have to have all your wishes granted or all your dreams come true to be fulfilled and to have a life that drives you with enthusiasm. 
But its up to you.
You renew your mind…
The truth is we are all renewing our mind.. its just some of us are renewing it with fodder, garbage, the mundane. 
Whats the outcome of a happy life? Simple we know and do the will of God. If I am living in Gods will I know I will feel fulfilled, I know I have a purpose greater than myself… I know I am driven by the supernatural and empowered by GOd… and how does this happen… oh yea, what does the verse say? By the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and know Gods perfect will…
 
If you renew your mind one day for 3 hours… you will not change one bit… but you will be very tired.
If you renew 3 days… no change
If you renew 3 weeks… little to no change
If you renew 3 months… a little change
If you go 3 years… you may not believe what you turn into
And in some type of twilight zone world if you could renew your mind for your whole life and compare it to you not renewing your whole life… you would not recognize yourself.

When I was a kid I thought burning my hand was the worst pain you could ever have. At the time it was in fact the worst pain I had ever experienced. Time when by… I tore my achilles… that hurt, then I broke my neck and I had bolts put in my head… thats gotta be the worst pain in the world…. Nah, were just warming up.
 
I have had 18 surgeries, I have had 16 hernias… 14 all at once. 16 months of chemo… and so so much more… and now rehabbing my shoulder every day… every day… every day… 
 
Now I have a whole new respect for the NFL Quarterback Alex Smith… 18 surgeries just on his leg. Fighting a flesh eating disease racing to his organs… an open wound… and I mean if you have seen the pictures… it is utterly graphic… open to the bone, muscles and ligaments exposed for weeks…
 
But thats only one kind of pain… no one likes physical pain. But do you remember that break up, or that fight with your spouse. You remember the pain of watching your kids get hurt. The pain of losing your job, not being able to pay bills. Maybe you have pain from following Christ… you get mocked, you get fired, you get martyred… is it worth it? 
 
2 Corinthians 4:17,18For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; …
 
You gotta love the apostle Paul and I hope we can all live up to this verse. Here is a follower of Christ who has been 
2 Cor. 11:in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. 24 From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 27 in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness— 28 besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak?
 
And he says… eh it was just for a moment compared to the glory we will experience.
 
Rom. 8:18 
I am sure what we are suffering now cannot compare with the glory that will be shown to us.
 
Scarface… Tony Montana meets Frank his boss for the first time… Tony just about got cut up to pieces with a chainsaw… within the first meeting Frank says  “not to mention that job you did for me… with that SOB…. 
You don’t have to mention it… That was fun… 
Ok Frank….
 
I got a feeling when we get up to heaven it might happen that Jesus says “welcome, and thanks for that job you did for me… well done thy good and faithful… AND YOU WILL INTERRUPT HIM LOOKING AROUND AT HEAVEN, AT JESUS AT THE FATHER… AND YOU WILL REALIZE… THAT WAS FUN… YOU DON’T HAVE TO MENTION IT… WHAT WAS FUN.
 
When will we get it through our thick skulls, he is worthy… no matter what. No matter what… no matter what… whatever happens… take your best shot, hurt me, my family, my loved ones… He is worth it.
Ok Frank?

If you do not lead your expectations then they simply become unrealistic expectations. 
  - You must harness your unrealistic expectations
Here is what happens when you lead your expectations. You see the decision as a chess player  you see it in 3D. You see what you want in the future and how to make decisions and lead yourself there. Now the problem with those around you- be it family, friends, people at work or on social media…  is that — see it as a checkers move. A to B… but that is not leading your expectations… let me give you a real life example. 
*Your Mom tells your daughter to hug uncle Bobby as you are leaving thanksgiving… - she is a 4 year old… that is a checkers move by your mom. You get pressure from other family members at that moment… tell her to hug uncle Bobby… Our family is an affectionate family… teach her to love her family etc.. etc.. and other Checker move thoughts…
A chess move is what do you expect for your daughter 10 years from now, 15 years from now and even 25 years from now… “you tell her you never have to hug a man you don’t feel comfortable with”. Relatives will get mad because they see checkers… you see chess. 
I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO LEARN TO SAY NO TO MEN- ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO PHYSICAL TOUCH. I never want my daughter to feel like she has to do something that she feels uncomfortable with… especially when it is regarding her body. 
 
You lead best by design… Which means you have it planned out ahead of time. 
Who do you want to marry, where do you want to work, What kind of Dad do you want to be…
What does scripture say? Lead according to it. 
 
I heard a story of a young man who was working a basic construction job at the age of 21… he tried college but it just wasn’t for him. He liked construction and decided he wanted it as a career. Early on most weeks his co-workers would go out every Friday night after work to the bar… He never did, but after a few months he started asking around “how much money do you spend on average at the bar during the week?”  The average was about $100 a week… that dumbfounded him… but he was wanting to lead his expectations - so on a whim he decided to simply invest $100 a week in a basic mutual fund. He worked construction for 20 plus years and his friends never stopped drinking and he never stopped investing… 
They are all now alcoholics and he is a millionaire.
 
He learned to lead his expectations… 
A couple quick questions… what do you expect to happen they way you are leading your health? Family? Marriage? Job? Spiritual walk?
