I am sharing about how being connected to Jesus, who is the Word made flesh, is a powerful connection for living an abundant life. We can receive abundance, blessings, etc.

2. (opening, initial, first, introductory)
The basis of something such as theory or an idea.
Introduction: I am desiring to share with you the revealed knowledge that
I’ve received from the Word of God. Which is written in the book of Genesis.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon
the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the
waters.
Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light
from the darkness.
You see God had already planned this event in his mind before the
foundations of the earth. He is Omni-present – very present; Omni-science –
all knowing; and Omni-power – all powerful. So he has predestined
everything. He is universal all in one place at the same time because he is
Spirit.

3. We also see in John.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing
made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not.
We see in the Word of God, that Jesus was in the mind of God to redeem
us from the curse of sin and redeem us to everlasting life through Jesus
Christ. This is why it is so important to have the mind of Christ. He is the
fullness of the Godhead bodily and we are complete in him.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and truth.
John 1:15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of
whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was
before me.
John 1:16 And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by
Jesus Christ.

4. We can see from the Word of God why it is so important to think
foundationally because we can get a right perspective on who we are
in Jesus and the rich inheritance that we can have as children of the
King. The King is the master over everything, we can see this from
the beginning in Genesis, all things were made by him. In order to
have successful abundantly alive thoughts that produce positive
things; we must stay connected to Jesus Christ, who is the true vine.
He is the lamb of God and in the Word of God, it’s revealed to us that
the Lamb (meaning Jesus) was slain before the foundations of the
World. Rev. 13:8. Which means this was already done in the mind of
the God before the World was even created. He is our foundation.
1Co 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a
wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth
thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
1Co 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which
is Jesus Christ.

5. Therefore in order to be abundant, blessed, creative, delivered, earnest,
foundational, glorified, holy, important, Jesus, kingdom, Loving, majestic, new,
prosperous, royal successful, terrific, unusual, victorious, wealthy,
xenial (hospitality) and zealous, we must have the mind of Christ. He is all of
the above and he will reveal to us how to live a life of abundance in expression
of all of these things. You know, however, because thoughts are things and
with the mind of Christ we can think positively in all of these areas.
Jesus gave us a parabolic message when he talked about building on a sure
foundation and we should in our thoughts, plan to have that foundation.
Luk 6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I
will shew you to whom he is like:
Luk 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the
foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently
upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
Luk 6:49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a
foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat
vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

6. In conclusion of the whole matter, let’s think foundational and
think in the mind of Christ. Present our bodies living sacrifices,
holy and acceptable unto God which is our reasonable services
by staying connected unto the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the
true vine. It states in the Word, John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and
my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be
done unto you.
We must abide in Jesus Christ, who is the true vine. (Read all of
John 15) And as we abide in him, having his thoughts we can
be successful, have resurrected positive thoughts and be
victorious in every area. Remember as a man thinketh in his
heart, so is he and if Jesus Christ is living in your heart. You are
Christ’s and Christ is God.
And as Jesus is, so are you in this world. Therefore think
foundational with the mind of Christ and your light will continue
to shine with the love of Christ. Now this is right thinking.
