"Changing Always Starts With Choosing" with Pastor Rick Warren

The ability to make moral choices is one of the greatest gifts that God has given to each of us. In fact, our choices shape our lives far more than our circumstances do. This is especially true in the area of our minds. Choosing what we think about, how we think about it, and what we allow into our minds affects our lives daily. This week, Pastor Rick takes a look at the first step toward a life reset-choosing to change what we think about.

Destructive thoughts fight for space in our minds everyday especially when things don't go right. It's a battle to fend them off and keep the right thoughts that come from the Word of God. It's a conscious thing. May the Lord help us keep the right thoughts. I needed this message today. 🙏💐🇰🇪

Love you Pastor Rick Warren. I listen to you everyday and never miss a daily devotion. I work as nurse in a hospital in San Diego and I love Blasting your God inspired words while I’m here at work. Keeps me enduring and joy full and filled. Bless you! ❤️🙏🏻

[@cheeverdog]

Thank you for serving others in God's name. I had a GIST tumor removed from my abdomen up here in Temecula March 4th. I had a wonderful believing nurse named Vanessa that prayed with us and held me up when I was literally on my death bed. The 7lb tumor was successfully removed praise God. Im still recovering with muscle pain from the laparotomy but Im on my way. The work you do in the name of Jesus can never be repaid fully in this life. My family retained its hope because of Vanessa. God bless you and every patient you encounter.

[@briancampbell435]

That's cool I work at a nursing facility and like to listen in the early mornings. 🙏

God Bless you. I pray you are doing much better throughout your recovery process. I cannot thank you enough for your kind heartfelt words. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you. Your message truly touched my heart and brought tears to my ears. Sometimes in my limited human understanding,, I get so tired and overwhelmed. You brought me tears of joy! Praise God for you! We serve such a Great God! May Our Precious Heavenly Father Bring you more Blessings, Encouragement and Comfort your way. ♥️🙏🥰😊

Gosh - - - - Pastor Rick Warren, this sermon is a message to me from God. I needed to hear every single thing you said. I tend to easily fall into worldly ways and slack off on my Bible. This message was a powerful tool to direct me back to the truth. Thank you for the tips of what to do and how to do them to help my daily faith walk. You are preaching your BEST sermons at this time! God bless you. Ty.

How I needed to hear this?? I should revisit this a couple more times.

[@GodnMe]

Thank you for this message, I would only respectfully add that in cases of abuse and trauma of early childhood abuse, …they have to be treated differently. You can’t just say, it’s our all in your brain. God’s timing leads us through when we stay close to him. It’s his timing only. Stay faithful even though the devil wants you down. Amen.

Pastor, Lord spoke to me through this message, Lord shall continue use you to build His church

[@Luke747gal]

Lately I've stopped myself from dwelling on self pity, fear or angry thoughts when they pop in my head by replacing it with the truth "God is good". I keep saying it over and over until the negative thought goes away. It isn't always easy but I will keep practicing it.

[@krystalmcguffie8881]

Reset

[@SimpleAmadeus]

I've been wanting to surrender myself fully to Christ but I can feel a resistance in me, I am unwilling to promise full surrender because I don't know what I'm promising. I know that I can trust God with my everything, but I don't yet feel that I can trust God. I've been praying to God to change that, but what I haven't made a willing choice so far. I've only prayed for God to get me to give that full surrender, hoping that this way the responsibility of making the choice would then somehow be lifted from me. This message is true, though. Changing starts with choosing. I should truly want what I'm asking for. This should be my focus right now. I should truly want God to change me, and be prepared, in advance, to do what He tells me to do, even if that's a scary commitment.
