"I'm a realist while my spouse is
more spiritual than I am"

I hear this frequently,
usually from husbands

What does it mean
to be a realist and
why is it harder to
walk with the
Lord?

We use the
Arno Profile
System to
assess clients
inborn
temperament

Melancholies and
Cholerics tend to be
thinkers

They have
active
minds with
strong
analytical
skills

Supines and Sanguines
tend to live more out of
their emotions

Phlegmatics can go either
way

The challenge for
every believer is to
renew their minds
to allow
transformation

Realists often
choose logical
paths over faith-
demanding ones

More likely if they do not know or
believe what the Bible says

This can open
the door for
fear if
expectations
are not met
quickly

Those with active minds have a
blessing and a challenge

We have a choice on what to believe.
What lens will we look through?

The
world's
or
God's?

Too heavenly minded to be of
earthly good? Thats a fallacy

The remedy? What
vantage point will you
choose?

Seated with Christ in the heavenly
realms (Eph 2:6) is our true position

5 Steps to Move Forward

1.
Recognize
the
challenge
you are are
facing

2. Choose to believe what
the Word says

3. Capture every (negative,
unbiblical) thought
(2 Cor 10:5)

4. Replace it with Gods truth (Phil 4:8)

5. Keep your
mind steadfast
and get back in
course if you
stray (Isa 26:3-
4) so peace
can reign

Walking in the
Spirit does not
mean ignoring
the facts before
you

Ask for wisdom, make the best
decisions you can, repent for unbelief

Trust in the goodness and grace of
God and keep moving ahead

Peace, and other good fruit of the Spirit
(Gal 5:22-23) will come forth
