The Converterlator Mindset!

The Converterlator Mindset


Memorize and Meditate

“Riches don’t last forever, and the crown might not be passed to the next generation.” (Proverbs 27:24)

“These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.” (1 Peter 1:7)

Soak your Heart

Because we live in a perishing world, we “converterlators” must continually soak our hearts in the fact that earthly goals will pass away, along with riches, titles, positions, inheritances – all material things. Only what God guarantees will last forever.

We cannot remind ourselves enough of the instruction the Word of God gives about meditating on his Word: “Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.” (Joshua 1:8)

Only as we commit to meditating on God’s Word can we be successfully transformed. Furthermore, our trials and afflictions are for the purpose of testing our faith to purify it, as fire tests and purifies gold. In fact, scripture emphasizes that our faith is more precious than “mere gold,” which is passing away along with everything else. We have to continually look to the unseen world of eternity instead of the seen world. The seen world is temporary, but the eternal world is forever!

Sow to the Spirit

Father, I remind myself of these truths by praying the content of these verses to you. Thank you for reminding me of them as I immerse myself in the powerful, purging truth of your Word. I am beginning to realize that faith is more precious than any earthly value. I ask that you direct my heart toward loving you. Empower me to submit to living under the power and control of the Holy Spirit. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ.

Flow with the Spirit

As I go forth in the power of the Holy Spirit in the place assigned to me in your vineyard, I am looking for opportunities to converterlate the perishing things of this world into the imperishable values of God’s eternal kingdom.

Practice

Ask God to instill in you a desire to make this way of thinking a core concept in your everyday living, beginning today.

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
