Do your negatives always seem to counteract your positives? Try hooking up jumper cables to the wrong positive/negative terminals (actually, don't try it--just trust me!). The result is not good. I used this illustration of jumper cables in today's message which was part 2 of "The Door" series. In order to close the door on negativity and walk through the door of positive living, we must "hook up" to the right influences, relationships, and attitudes:
- Eliminate negative influences such as your environment, what you listen to or what you watch.
- Hang out with Joshua and Caleb types: "no fear/we can do it" type of people. Eliminate relationships that drain you dry. Minimize time spent in neutral relationships. Maximize relationships that replenish, encourage, and stretch you.
- Change your attitude by hooking up to God's word and being in His presence.
