Set Your Minds On Things Above,

Let go of earthly things which might drag you down.
Be filled with the Holy Spirit surrender to the things
above. Those verses are intended to help us grow
in the Spirit daily. When we do that it is with the help of
God so that we may live a life of harmonious habit.
Is it a commandment; thou shalt do this, of course
not but it is a guide as to how we may live a 24/7
lifestyle. Does that bring us to perfection, nothing
will do that on this earth. Knowing we will never be
perfect should never preclude us from striving for
perfection even though it is out of reach we should
never give up. So these are not demands of God
but if we choose a life in Christ that is where our
hearts should lean towards rather than the things of
the earth. So these things come by faith and our
submission so that we may stay away from all the
horrors the worldly life can bring us. Our first choice
each day should be towards God.

Thanks Brother...

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. For, "Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay; but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him." But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
Hebrews 10:19‭-‬24‭, ‬34‭-‬39 ESV
