exercising a Relaxed Mental Attitude (RMA) towards other people or
the situations and problems of life as you trust in the Lord. Slide
10 It is the absence of mental attitude sins towards those you know
or do not know, friends or enemies, i.e., Impersonal Love. Slide 11
It is the absence of subjectivity in life, where instead you have
Divine viewpoint towards all things. 2 Sam 16:11-12; Neh 8:9-12;
Heb 4:10-11 Slide 12 John 14:27, Peace I leave with you; My peace I
give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let
your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. Slide 13 The battle
is turned over to the Lord, the problems, the trials, and the
difficulties that you face, all are turned over to Him. Ex 14:13-14
Slide 14 The beauty of C.T. is the ability to derive strength from
the peace that comes by simply faith-resting in Him. Psa 23; Psa
131:2; Isa 12:2; Rom 5:1-3 Slide 15 Isa 12:2, Behold, God is my
salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my
strength and song, and He has become my salvation. Slide 16 Psa
131:2, Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; like a weaned
child rests against his mother, my soul is like a weaned child
within me. Slide 17 Wives are to express Composed trust when
dealing with their husbands, 1 Peter 3:4. Slide 18 1 Peter 3:4, But
let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable
quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the
sight of God. Slide 19 Praying for your government leaders is a
demonstration of composed trust that results in a peaceful life, 1
Tim 2:1-2. Slide 20 K. Clear-Headed Trust Clear-Headed, having a
clear orderly mind, to be able to think in a sensible and calm way.
E.g., lucid, perceptive, logical, realistic, etc. Slide 21
Clear-Head Trust means that you are able to cycle doctrine through
your soul in time of pressure and chaos. Rom 12:2-3; Eph 4:22-24
Slide 22 Problems, difficulties, and trials have a tendency to
create confusion and cloud our thinking. Reliance on the Lord
clears the fog. Psa 13:3-6; 19:8; 119:105; Isa 50:6-7 Slide 23 Psa
19:8, The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the
commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. Slide 24
Psa 119:105, Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Slide 25 John 16:13, But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He
will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own
initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will
disclose to you what is to come. Slide 26 Paul exhorted all to have
clear-headed trust in the Lord, Titus 2:6, 11-12-13. Slide 27 Titus
2:6, Likewise urge the young men to be sensible, (SOPHRONEO). Slide
28 In 1 Thes 5:6-8 we are exhorted to of sober mind (NEPHEO, to be
sober, to be calm and collected in spirit), clear headed, so that
we can cycle and apply Gods Word in Faith-Rest. Slide 29 To have
clear-headed trust we must first examine ourselves, then through
the Balance of Residency we can have sober faith-rest, Mat 7:5; Eph
5:18; 1 Peter 1:13; 5:8. Slide 30 Mat 7:5, You hypocrite, first
take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to
take the speck out of your brothers eye. Cf. Luke 6:42 Slide 31 1
Peter 1:13, Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober
(clear-headed) in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to
be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Slide 32 1
Peter 5:8-9, Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary,
the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to
devour. 9 But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same
experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren
who are in the world. Slide 33 Grace Fellowship Church Tuesday,
