Setting Your Mind on Things Above | Pastor Paula White-Cain | City of Destiny

In this sermon, Pastor Paula White-Cain discusses the necessity of shedding our old selves and embracing a new self that is continually renewed in the knowledge and image of our Creator. She stresses the importance of focusing our affections on heavenly matters rather than earthly desires. To achieve this, we must subdue our sinful inclinations and refrain from indulging in sensual appetites, which only grow insatiable. Pastor Paula also highlights the value of being Christ-centered instead of self-centered, as this shift naturally fosters the growth of the fruits of the Spirit within us.

Key Points:

• Renewed Mind: Set your mind on God’s agenda, rejecting earthly desires.
• Put Off the Old Self: Let go of anger, greed, lust, and embrace the Spirit’s fruits.
• Kingdom Focus: Seek God’s Kingdom over worldly pursuits.
• Christ-Occupied Life: Focus on God to naturally manifest love, joy, and peace.
• Walking in Truth and Love: Align with God’s plan to extend His Kingdom.
