"It is important to remember and practice what we learn, not just learn it and hear it. God-thinking is like that. If you practice the principles you learn, you are empowered by these principles. If you practice the principles you learn, you please God through faith. Here are some principles that I believe deserve to be re-visited. They are the kind of truths that change the way you think.

  • The way you think about God.
  • The way you think about what God has said about Himself.
  • The way you think about what God has said about you.
  • The way you think.
The goal of God-thinking is to learn to think the way God wants you to think."

Thought for the day

"If your goal or dream doesn't require the hand of God, then it's not all it could be. It doesn't meet the criteria of a goal or dream of a child of God. Every thing you do is to be by faith with the expectation of God completing you and bringing to pass the impossible, the miraculous. God blesses what He endorses and God endorses His Word. God reveals what He endorses by His Word and by revelation. Are you a dreamer? Can you just agree with me and say Amen?
  • Can you say in your heart, "I need to expand my dream and include the mighty hand of God in it?"
  • Can you say in your heart, "Enlarge my borders Lord and take away any doubt that would keep my dream from being all it can be."
  • Can you say in your heart that you want to seek the high ground - to go after the impossible - to step out in faith and trust God to bridge the gap between the natural and the supernatural.
God-thinking demands that you live by faith; faith that believes God, and God says, "commit thy way, (thy goal, thy path, thy desires, your course of life, your life's goals) and I will bring it to pass."

Do you believe that you should operate in faith with the wisdom of God?
  • Why do you attempt to manage so much of your life on your own?
  • Why do you wait until things go wrong to get God involved in the matter?
  • Why do you make plans without going to God on your knees and seeking His wisdom in the matter?
You must learn to use the threefold foundation of God-thinking in every goal, dream, desire or task at hand.

1 Choosing a goal that can be sanctioned by God.
2 Acknowledging what we are able to do towards creating our goal and acknowledging what is impossible for us to do and will require the hand of God.
3 Talking and listening to God while on the journey."

"You need to go to the inner court and ask God to reveal His will for you. Then when God does reveal His will - you let the revelation of God become your desire. "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Mark 11:24 You shall have what you desire, when you pray, if you believe you can receive it. "Ye have not, because ye ask not." James 4:2  I hope you decide to seek God's intervention and interaction in your goal setting.

It is God's will that you desire God's will, and when you do - God gives you your desires. "Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. V5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust in Him; and He shall bring it to pass."  Psalm 37:4-5 The word 'way' as used here is the Hebrew word darak (daw-rak) which means course of life or course of action. Here in verse five where the Word says, "Commit thy way unto the LORD," God is entreating you to invite Him into the course of life that you desire; your goals, your dreams, your tasks at hand, and God says, "He shall bring it to pass." That's intervention. That's interactive relationship. That's how God works in your life. God interacts and intervenes in the affairs of those who invite Him in."

  • "Have you communicated to God what you need, in order to receive by faith, what only God can provide?
  • Have you asked God to intervene in your everything.
  • Do you believe God will do it?
If you ask in faith and believe in your heart that God will do, what you cannot do - God will do it? God speaks to you in Mark 11:22b-24 "Have faith in God. V23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. V24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

There have been times when I didn't believe God for the impossible and the impossible was impossible. But, there have been times when I did believe God for the impossible and the impossible came to pass."

"Even though God created the heaven and the earth and made it to sustain and perpetuate life; As good as it is, it is just a small part of what God has done for you and even a smaller part of what God can do, with your invitation.  God the Father is interested in your goals, your dreams and every task at hand.  And God has made it clear that He wants to be included in your everyday affairs, your long term goals and your life=s dreams.  AAsk, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:  V8 For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.  V9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will give him a stone?  V10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?  V11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?@  Matthew 7:7-11  When God says, AAsk and it shall be given to you.@ 

It is clear that God wants to interact with you.  Again:  AAnd whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  V14 If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do it.@  John 14:13-14  Have you invited God to give you all that He has promised?

Thought for the day

"You need to take what Jesus says seriously. Jesus says follow me. He is on the narrow path that leads to life and He is calling each one of you to turn around and start going HIS way.

  • The world doesn't have anything on you.
  • Your Father in heaven has provided you with the very best.
  • Those outside of the will of God cannot say that.
  • You are strengthened by His presence in your life.
  • Those who love the world are on their own.
  • You are satisfied with the portion that God has dealt you.
  • The world, those who have not been born again - they are never satisfied, they never get enough.
  • You are empowered to overcome your real enemy, satan.
  • The world is powerless to overcome anything without Christ.
  • You are free from your sins.
  • The world is in bondage to their sins.
There are two paths. Which path are you traveling on?

"Your Father in heaven knows what you need. (I like to ask the question), What does Jesus have to say about it? "Be ye not therefore like unto them: (those without Christ) for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask them." Matthew 6:8

God is good and righteous and holy. God will not burst into your life uninvited. You are a free moral agent with full autonomy to live out your life with or without God's supernatural intervention. God created a delightful planet with all the necessary components to sustain life and to sustain it very well. Everything is supplied to sustain the natural body: Food - Air - Water - Natural healing and every good thing to operate and live. All of this for all mankind: for the Hindu, the Shaman, the Muslim, the Shintoist, the Humanist, the Agnostic, even the Atheist - and they need not even acknowledge that God exists. Now that's a great and just creator."

"Most people include God in what they are doing just about the time it is time to bail out, when things go wrong. "Oh God, please help me get out of this mess. Don't leave me alone to face this huge task alone."
Ever done that?

If you prayed earnestly:
  • before going into a business venture
  • while looking for a tenant to rent to
  • before you went to work each day
  • before picking a spouse to spend the rest of our life with
  • before taking a new job
  • before choosing a church
If you prayed as earnestly going into these things in your life, as you do when they begin to crumble - they would never crumble. If you gave God as much attention going into the choices you make as you do coming out, you would own the world."

Thought for the day

"When you run after your dreams or perform the tasks at hand, and you do so with the understanding of how God interacts with you, "nothing shall be impossible." Matthew :17:20b  You are the generation of God Thinkers. You aim for the sky seeking God's interaction, seeking God's supernatural intervention.

When you are practicing God-thinking, you do not plan anything without including faith in the Almighty. You shouldn't have any goals that don't require the hand of God to be fulfilled. If what you are doing and planning to do doesn't require the hand of God, you are living far below where your Father in heaven has raised you. You have slipped from the call to faith. You have accepted the world's standard of excellence. If you have not included the hand in God in what you are doing or planning to do, you have not exercised your faith.
You have not believed God. "For whatsoever is not of faith is sin."  Romans 14:23

Thought for the day

"How God intervenes and interacts with you can only come by revelation from God. Let's look at how to have a goal, a desire, a dream or a task at hand and be in agreement with the will of God.

Is God in the center of what you are planning?
Is God in the center of what you are doing?
What does goal setting have to do with spirituality?

It has everything to do with spirituality. Your goals and dreams and tasks at hand should reflect your love and dependence on God. If you are not in full understanding of the way that God interacts with you, then when you establish your dreams and goals, they will be based solely on your own natural ability. When your dreams, goals and tasks at hand are developed from your natural ability, they cannot glorify God, because they require no faith, and the Bible says that "without faith it is impossible to please God. "  Hebrews 11:6

"God has been so good to us. Let's be diligent to take advantage of every gift, every blessing, every truth that God so freely gives to us, His children. God-thinking believes what Peter taught "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."  2 Peter 3:18

This is a reiteration of the seven perfect ways of how you can tell if you are growing in grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

1 You continue to be in the Word of God and you love the Word of God.

2 Your fellowship with believers is not broken.

3 You become usable for service in the body of Christ to the glory of God.

4 You increase in knowledge and understanding of the things of God.

5 You love the things of God.

6 You pray.

7 You worship God."

"How can you tell if you are growing in grace?

7 You worship God.

Psalm 95:6  "O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our Maker."  Psalm 96:8-9 "Give unto the LORD the glory due unto His name: bring an offering, and come into His courts. V9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before Him, all the earth."

Why do so many people want a god they do not have to worship? The world says not to worship God, but God says to worship Him. It is easy to evaluate where you stand. Do you believe and do what God says or do you believe and do what the world says?
  • You want the blessings from God.
  • You want the gifts from God.
  • You want the benefits from God.
You need to follow the example of scripture and give to God His due. Worship is where you prove to the world your inability to do it on your own. A man or a woman who will not worship has never met God.
  • Religion allows salvation without worship, but God does not.
  • Religion allows its parishioners to have it their own way, but God does not.
  • Religion says worship as it pleases you, but God says worship as it pleases Him.
Worship is your most perfect expression of the depth of your understanding of God. It reveals: how big - how great - how awesome - how indescribable - how wonderful - how Holy - how righteous God really is to you. Your worship tells the whole story of who you think God is.

How can you tell if you are growing in grace?  You worship God."

"How can you tell if you are growing in grace?

6 You pray.

Ephesians 6:18 "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;"

Prayer and supplication is really how you get things done. There are times when prayer is the only way you can accomplish the task at hand. Prayer is where you talk to God and where you hear from God.

You pray because you recognize that there are some things that are beyond you. (Imagine that) Some things must be accomplished by prayer.
  • Prayer is cool.
  • Prayer is where you are empowered.
  • Prayer is where you are changed.
  • Prayer is where you are renewed.
  • Prayer is where you meet God.
When you are growing in grace, you are growing in your prayer life. You used to spend two minutes praying, now you spend five minutes praying and next month you moight spend ten minutes praying. Mother Theresa prayed five hours a day. John Knox prayed five hours a day. Praying is such a joy. Your heavenly Father is pleased when you pray in faith, believing.

How can you tell if you are growing in grace?  you pray."

"How can you tell if you are growing in grace?

5 You love the things of God.

Colossians 3:1 "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God."

God does not water down His truth so that people will buy it. God is not going to let you devise your own way to seek Him, find Him and know Him. God says, if ye are risen with Christ then we are to seek those things which are above. So often people want to know: How do I know if I am saved? How do I know if I am filled with the Spirit? How do I know if I am in the will of God? Are we seeking the things that are above where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God? That's how you know these things.

Does it please you to make changes in your TV viewing, so that you can take charge of purifying what enters into your mind?
Does it thrill you to help others?
Do you enjoy giving? These are the things of God.

Cultural and traditional Christianity are not a good replacement for relationship that brings you to Christlikeness.

How can you tell if you are growing in grace?  You love the things of God."

"How can you tell if you are growing in grace?

4 You increase in knowledge and understanding of the things of God.

1 Timothy 2:1-4 "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; V2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. V3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; V4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."

It is time to get understanding.
It is time to seek the wisdom of God.
It is time to be more than a couch potato. If you are in agreement, will you agree to be challenged to reach up higher and to find your place in God's economy? I do not mince words. It's the simple things that God wants you to get straight.
  •  I teach Christ crucified.
  • I do not teach works - I teach stewardship
  • I do not teach the law - I teach grace
  • I teach the virgin birth of the very Son of God
  • I teach that God is alive and well, in charge, in authority, the very Sovereign of the universe
  • I teach the Godhead; Father, Son and Holy Ghost
  • I teach that there is one name above all names by which we must be saved, the name of Jesus
No one reads this material, because they think they are going to have their ears tickled. They know by now that God might meet them while they are reading the Word and that they will increase in understanding and knowledge if they seek God, first willingly and most of all diligently.

How can you tell if you are growing in grace?  You increase in knowledge and understanding of the things of God.

How can you tell if you are growing in grace?

3 You become usable for service in the body of Christ to the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? V20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

You become usable for service, because God is in you, (the Holy Spirit) leads you to glorify God. The thought that God can be in you and that you would have no desire to be of any use to God is foolishness and far from the truth. When you are growing in grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ, you become usable for service in the body of Christ to the glory of God.

You see how important it is to build up and support your local church, to help make ministries successful, to help do the work God called you to. The body of Christ is doing a great work in a wicked world. You should do everything possible to support your church and offer yourself for service.

How can we know if we are growing in grace?  You become usable for service in the body of Christ to the glory of God."

"How can we tell if you are growing in grace?

2 Your fellowship with believers is not broken.

Hebrews 10:25 "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:  V26 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

 It is rebellion against God to go off onto an island unto yourself. The body of Christ is fitly joined together, not loosely attached. Jesus draws you to union and accountability, not separation and irresponsibility. It is always a sure sign of rebellion when you think you know better than God what is good for you.
  • You must seek times to worship with others.
  • You must seek fellowship with others.
  • You must seek to unite in purpose with others.
How can you tell if you are growing in grace?  Your fellowship with believers is not broken."

"How can you tell if you are growing in grace?

1 You continue to be in the Word of God and you love the Word of God.

John 8:31-32 "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My Word, then are ye my disciples indeed; V32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."  You must continue to be in the Word of God. If days, weeks, months or years go by and you are not in the Word, you are not growing in grace. And as God reveals more and more of Himself to those around you who are in the Word, those who are not get further and further away, because the two are headed in different directions.

You should continue in the Word because you love the Word. If God has saved you, you love the Word of God. You enjoy hearing it, reading it and speaking it. The Word intrigues you, enlightens you & empowers you. The Word of God comes alive, because the Holy Spirit makes it alive in your life.

There are plenty of people that say that they are born again but have no interest in reading the Word of God.
  • They are the same people that say that they cannot understand the Word of God.
  • They are the same people who don't live by the Word of God.
  • They are the same people who don't believe all the Word of God.
  • They are the same people that think they are experts about how God works.
  • They are in rebellion against God.
How can you tell if we are growing in grace?  You continue to be in the Word of God and you love the Word of God."

Thought for the day

"What does it mean to grow in grace? It is vital to your faith that you grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord. To grow as used here in the scriptures. (2 Peter 3:17-18) comes from the Greek word auxano, (aux-an-o) which means to enlarge or increase. To grow in grace is to enlarge and increase in grace. Grace is the result of a finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and grace is also a continuing work in your life. It is this continuing work of the Lord in your life that I want to talk about.

If you are of the persuasion that you already possess all the promises of God, that you have already received all that God has to give, that you are already a finished product and that there is no more room to grow in grace, you will not benefit from this chapter. But if on the other hand you recognize that as you grow in grace the many promises of God come alive according to God's pleasure, that you are receiving from God everyday, that you are not a finished work but a work in progress, and that there is room to grow and mature in the grace of Jesus Christ, you will benefit greatly from this message.


I want to speak to those who are diligently seeking Him or those who are considering a deeper and more meaningful relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For your soul is seeking to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Christ. I am going to discuss the seven perfect ways of how you can tell if you are growing in grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Thought for the day

"To "grow in grace" is not some last minute thought that Peter had. It is not some unknown principle to be considered if you feel like it. It is not an afterthought that God allowed to be inserted into scripture, because He needed to fill up space. It is the very truth from God about what happens to people once they meet the Master. To grow in grace is the path that God leads you on.
  • Grace is the unmerited favor that God gives to each and every person that comes to Him when He calls.
  • Grace is when you answer the call of God to be born again and God accepts you into His fold as a child of God in your current condition.
  • Grace is the continuing gift from God that does not stop working on your behalf when you stop working on God's behalf.
  • Grace cannot be earned or achieved.
  • Grace is the simplest and yet the most profound and powerful truth ever created.
If you want to speak to others about the most important subject to heart of God, talk about grace. Grace is the one truth that all other truths hinge upon. All theology - all philosophy - all religion, if not founded on grace is just a mental assent to an undetermined destination."

Excerpt from The Power of God Thinking by Keith C. Powell Copyright 2010

Note: Not everyone is happy to see grace so exposed.  Many leaders want you to be careful when considering what grace means as if they were afraid that you might actually get it and be freed up from religion and its trappings.

Thought for the day

"God-thinking is about growing in grace. Let's get right down to business and take a look at what scripture has to say about growing in grace. Let's start by reading in 2 Peter. Peter had been with the Lord for about three years. After that, Peter goes about teaching and healing and preaching. In his life he wrote two books of the new testament. Having spent three years with Jesus and now another thirty-three years since Jesus ascended into heaven, he has become quite the expert in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

I think Peter has become quite familiar with the life of the Christian. After all, he was the one who denied that he even knew Jesus and he was also one of those who went to the mount of transfiguration. At this point in his life, Peter is defending the faith with his very life. From denying the Lord to dying for the Lord, Peter speaks with authority. Peter has something to say that you would do well to hear and believe. Peter knows about growing in grace. He sums up His experience with God in this way. 2 Peter 3:17-18 "Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. V18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen."

"God-thinking demands a high and lofty view of God. Truly, the way you see God ultimately determines the results of your faith, for you receive God by faith. To know God you must receive God by faith.  You receive who God is by His Spirit. And it is by the indwelling Holy Spirit that you know God at all. Apart from the Holy Spirit, you know not God, nor can you, because God can only be rightly known of Himself.

God has opened up His truth to us.
  • You are the one who is called out in this generation to do God's will.
  • You are the one who is called to give testimony of His greatness.
  • You are the one who is to reveal Christ to this generation.
  • You are the one given the challenge to evangelize the world with the good news of salvation by faith in Jesus.
  • You are the one that reveals the intimate relationship between God and man.
  • You have the truth about the Messiah.
What are we doing with all this knowledge that you have received from God?"

First - You will determine what habits are assisting you to reach your goals, dreams and desires and make sure that you maintain them and pursue them with regularity.

Second - You will determine what habits are consuming your time, energy and resources and are keeping you from your goals, dreams and desires and eliminate them."

"God-thinking believes what God says.  God-thinking removes the barriers that unbelief has built, so that we can receive what our faith can perceive.  When unbelief is removed, faith can do what was impossible to get done by unbelief.  God-thinking will change your life for the good, because the unbelief and the doubt and the past, all find themselves being replaced with belief and faith and newness.  The strongholds that the enemy might have in your life right now can be overcome and replaced with treasure from above, simply by changing the way you think.

Those strongholds that the enemy once had can be turned around and made into something good, because you start using your mind and your body in the pursuit of excellence with God instead of the pursuit of the empty promises of this world."

"If you are like me, you want to get on with the part of God-thinking that helps you find success and fulfill your goals, answer your prayers and bring your dreams into fruition. You start by redefining the way you think. God is not just teaching you, He is imparting to you more of Himself. you are apprehending the mind of God as God reveals Himself to you.

You are becoming wiser. Your life is becoming more manageable, and you are becoming more like Christ. God-thinking will train your mind to see beyond your current circumstances and teach you how to place yourself in the right place at the right time."

"God-thinking requires less focus on where you've been - what you've done - what you have or haven't accomplished - what you've lost - or what could have been - And more focus on where you are today - where you are going - what you are going to do with what you have - what you can accomplish and who you can be.

God-thinking demands a higher call to the way that you dispose the day. God-thinking teaches us to think:
  • Thoughts of success
  • Thoughts of giving to others
  • Thoughts of getting understanding and wisdom from God
  • Thoughts that plan ahead and carefully use the moments at hand
  • Thoughts that foresee great things
  • Thoughts that reach beyond your present circumstances
  • Thoughts that require God's help
  • Thoughts that fit being a child of God
  • Thoughts that conform what God has in Mind for you
The scriptures confirm that our thinking is to be in agreement with God, to wit, God-thinking. Listen to the words of Paul. Philippians 2:5 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:" and in Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."


What God is doing globally, right now, is the biggest move of God since creation. And, you have been called, by His foreknowledge to put on the mind of Christ and seize the day that God designed for you. He must trust you a lot to put you in service at this crucial time in history."

Thought for the day

"You cannot blame God when things go awry, when things go wrong, when sickness, disease, pain, suffering, indiscretions, sin, wickedness and death come your way. It would be like blaming the potter every time you drop a dish. Too many people spend too much of their time - in their mind - in the part of their lives that cannot be changed, i.e., the past.

Any time that you give the past, in the way of; remorse, guilt, hatred, revenge, anger towards another, anger towards God, dragging up old bones, thinking about old flames, remeembering fallen preachers, perseverating on unanswered prayer, unkept promises, unforgiven debt - anything that is taking time away from your now and your future, it is not only taking up valuable time, it is causing you to perpetuate the same kind of thinking that has held you back or kept you from reaching that next goal in life, in the first place.

God-thinking requires you to live in God's time, right now, attentive to His message, attentive to His calling, attentive to His leading. Nothing in your life happens yesterday."

Thought for the day

"It is the mind of God that remains constant, that you trust. It is this mind of God that you need to emulate if you want to understand God-thinking.  God has not swerved off the road as some of us have.  God has not forgotten His promises.  God has not missed bringing His prophesies into being.  God has missed nothing."
