You’ve heard of a TRO. Well, instead of a temporary restraining order on some attitudes I’ve been dealing with internally, I need to put a Permanent Restraining Order on my carnal attitudes. Reciting the Word in my heart, being deliberately diligent about taking thoughts captive - controlling erratic behaviors - spending alone time with God in my mind , soul and heart…that’s a good one! I can spend time (literally) alone with God but the company of things to do and other thoughts displace the presence of the Lord - if I give them attention. I need to be deliberately diligent in my “Alone Time” with Him.

• Be quicker about displacing wrong thoughts with right ones
• Don’t allow yourself to linger with the company of bad attitudes within, wrong motives or thoughts.
• I gotta be more diligent about my Scripture Memory efforts!!! C’mon Rod!!!!
• Let’s memorize this one…

Titus 3

• 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.
• 3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.
• 4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
• 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
• 6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
• 7 that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
