       So, the Spirit will help us cultivate a more hopeful mindset, if we allow him. It can’t be stated enough. The thoughts that we think in our minds are so critical to our growth in Christ. We need to yield to the Spirit has he leads us to put to death fleshly attitudes of negativity, fear, and unbelief, and replace those with positive, faith-filled, and hopeful attitudes. As we do this, we will be able to say with the Apostle John, “ “So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us” (1 John 4:16, ESV). I just want to take somewhat of an extended discussion here and note that we cannot be growing into becoming more like Jesus if we are continuing to tare ourselves down with negative thoughts about ourselves. Some church leaders may tell you to throw away your confidence, that it’s worldly or something like that, but don’t listen to them. God wants us to be confident that we can do all things through him. Remember, the Spirit is not doing everything for us, but we are doing things through his power.
