You are Planned, Purposed and Positioned for Victory

You are Planned, Purposed and Positioned for Victory
There was never a time when you were not on the mind of God. His parenthood of you was planned by Him. “For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome” (Jeremiah 29:11). You are planned for victory!
You are purposed! You were intentionally designed to be like Jesus. “We are assured and know that [ God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son” (Romans 8:28, 29). You are purposed for victory!
In the New International Version of Ephesians, chapter 4 verse 23 reads, “Be made new in the attitude of your minds.” The Living Bible states it this way, “Now your attitudes and thoughts must all be constantly changing for the better.” Thus, the “spirit of your mind” is your attitude. The word “attitude” defined is: 1. manner, disposition, feeling, position, with regard to a person or thing; tendency or orientation of the mind: a positive or negative attitude. Basically, your attitude is the position you take on any issue in life. You are positioned for victory.
You’ve heard the saying, “Your attitude determines your altitude.” In the field of aviation or aeronautics this is true. An airplane’s attitude is based on the position of several things, it’s nose and wings in relation to the natural horizon.
According to God’s word we are to be in Christ and become new creatures, letting old things pass and have all things become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are to put off our old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; and be made new in the attitude of our minds (Ephesians 4:22, 23).

How high do you want to fly? Do you want higher heights and deeper depths in God? Then do this: "Put an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and cause every thought to come under the authority of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5). And "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy; meditate on these things" (Philippians 4:8).
