00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:10.640
<v SPEAKER_00>The world around us often runs on self-interest, competition, and fear.

00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:14.400
<v SPEAKER_00>But the culture of God's kingdom is different.

00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:18.719
<v SPEAKER_00>It's marked by righteousness, peace, and joy.

00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.800
<v SPEAKER_00>The Holy Spirit brings heaven's atmosphere wherever you go.

00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:29.199
<v SPEAKER_00>As we pray today, close your eyes if you can and focus your mind on the Lord.

00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:34.560
<v SPEAKER_00>Listen to Romans 14, 17's call to us today.

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:43.920
<v SPEAKER_00>For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.759
<v SPEAKER_00>We get access to these things through Jesus Christ.

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:56.320
<v SPEAKER_00>And because of Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we carry them into our environments and relationships.

00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:06.799
<v SPEAKER_00>Take a moment to thank God that his spirit lives in you, bringing the peace and joy of heaven into your everyday life.

00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:34.799
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask the Lord to help you respond to situations today, not with the culture of this world, but with the character of His kingdom.

00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:44.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Invite the Holy Spirit over the next minute to fill your thoughts, words, and actions with peace and joy.

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:54.719
<v SPEAKER_00>With each breath, imagine inhaling heaven's peace and exhaling the anxiety of this world.

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask that heaven's joy would overflow in their heart.

00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:29.120
<v SPEAKER_00>If you can, place a hand over your heart in personal agreement with me as I close in prayer today.

00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:36.800
<v SPEAKER_00>Thank you, Holy Spirit, for bringing heaven's culture into our lives.

00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:45.519
<v SPEAKER_00>Let your righteousness, peace, and joy transform our homes, workplaces, and conversations today.

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:46.800
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
