Ten Attitudes of Victorious Living When we finally get clean and sober, we must learn to live a new life with a new character. When we become new creations in Christ, we must put on His spiritual life and put off the old, worldly, prideful, selfish, lustful nature. In His Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5, 6 and 7), Jesus describes the attitudes of His followers. "The Most Excellent Way" ministry is centered on God's Word, and Christ's Beatitudes are our foundation for change.

"Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." Philippians 2:5 NKJV
1 . . . Humility I admit I am powerless over the affects of drugs and alcohol, and self-centered behavior - my life is unmanageable. Jesus said: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:3 NKJV
2 . . . Repentance I believe Jesus Christ can and will create in me a new way of life. Jesus said: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4 NKJV
3 . . . Submissiveness I give my will and my life to Jesus Christ. Jesus said: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5 NKJV
4 . . . Honesty I honestly examine myself in the light of God's Word. Jesus said: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." Matthew 5:6 NKJV
5 . . . Mercy I humbly ask God's forgiveness for my sinful past. I am able to forgive those who have hurt me. Jesus said: "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." Matthew 5:7 NKJV
6 . . . Obedience I desire to live under the guidance of God's Holy Spirit - day by day. Jesus said: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Matthew 5:8 NKJV

9 . . . Perseverance I stand firm in my faith that Jesus is in control of all things. Jesus said: "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12 NKJV
10 . . . Loving Servant As a new creation in Christ, I share with others the Good News of a risen Savior who makes His people whole. Jesus said: "You are the salt of the earth; . . . You are the light of the world . . . Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:13-16 NKJV
Jesus said: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6:33 NKJV
