Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "What You Think, Matters" Ephesians 6:17

• The helmet of Salvation--know that you are saved.
• What is Salvation? Salvation is not an event, it's a relationship with Christ. We can't have a relationship with Christ until His blood covers our sins.
• We were bough with a price.
• You have to KNOW which side your on.
• We need to change our mindset that we are a child of God.
• The battle starts in our minds.
• Our relationship with Christ needs to be exclusive. We can't flirt with sin and expect to have a relationship on fire for God.
• The enemy will plant thoughts into our minds that will destroy us.
• Salvation in 3 parts.
• 1. Position: You were saved from the penalty of sin.
• 2. Practice: Being saved from the power of sin.
• 3. Perfection: Being saved from the presence of sin.
• We have to be careful about what we let into our homes and what we let into our minds.
• If God says something is sin, it's sin.
• Once we are saved, we need to transform our minds to focus on Christ. We need to change the way we think.
• Once we become a child of God, we need to be of a seperate people. There needs to be a difference in us and the rest of the world.
