God Thinking VI - A New Way To think 1

"What you can dream to do?

What has not been done towards accomplishing your goal - your life’s goal. 

What do you seek after with all your heart

 

What you really want - Is right now nestled discretely within what I am calling God thinking.

 

God thinking says, “It is not true that you don’t have time.  It was never true.  There isn’t too little time, but just the right amount of it.  Believing this simple truth will release hours and hours for you to use to reach your desired goal and to create what is missing in your life. God thinking demands a higher call to the way that you dispose the day.”

 

Wrong thinking asks wrong questions, like: Why do bad things happen to good people?   God thinking asks the same question like this, “What are you going to do with what God allowed to happen?”

 

We read in Collosians 1:9-10

“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

V10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

It is this mind of God that remains constant that you can trust.  It is this mind of God that you need to emulate if you want to understand God thinking."

God is faithful – Trust God for it.

God Thinking - The Wisdom Of The Principle 7

"Let’s look at some of God's promises remembering the threefold rule for the promises of God to become fulfilled in your life:

1^st    Do we believe what God said is in His Word?

3^rd   Do we understand, by the Holy Spirit the wisdom of the principle?

Psalm 27:14 TLB

“Don’t be impatient.  Wait for the Lord, and He will come and save you!  Be brave, stouthearted and courageous.  Yes, wait and He will help you.”

God Thinking - The Wisdom Of The Principle 6

"Today, God will empower you through an understanding of the wisdom of God’s principles. 

God has already brought to pass His Word.

It will perform what it says it will perform.

God’s promises are fulfilled as God spoke them when you receive them without resistance.

By trusting God and fully understanding the wisdom of His principles you allow God’s Word to be efficacious – full of power and authority to bring about it’s fulfillment.

The more you trust God at His Word, the more power and authority you receive from God.  As you receive more from God and resist God less, you have more power and authority to operate in God’s will more often.

To get an idea of what kind of commitment you are capable of, I want to read a few scriptures:

Job 13:15a

“Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him¼”

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
V6 In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.
V7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart fro evil.”

Jeremiah 17:7

“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.”

Nahum 1:7

“The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him.”

When you trust God the promises of God come alive and they are activated for you, in you & through you to benefit you (and others) on this side of heaven.

Excerpt from God Thinking - The Wisdom Of The Principle by Keith C. Powell copyright 2012

God Thinking - The Wisdom Of The Principle 5

"When you yield to the Holy Spirit – Which is the same as not resisting God, then every Word of God will take root in you. 

Every Word of God will increase your faith. 

What you read in the Word becomes the substance of your life.

The promises of God become your reality.  What you once created in resistance to God will be replaced by what you create in agreement with God.

“For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow; and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Hebrews 4:12

The truth – The fulfillment of God’s Word takes hold when you believe God in your heart. 

• You see God’s wisdom clearly. 
• You receive power and authority from God. 
• The Word comes alive. 
• Truth is received. 
• The promises of God are fulfilled in your life

^1st    Believe God said it.
2^nd   Believe that this Word is true?
3^rd   Understand, by the Holy Spirit the wisdom of the principle? 

Excerpt from God Thinking - The Wisdom Of The Principle by Keith C. Powell Copyright 2012

God Thinking - The Wisdom Of The Principle 4

" I want you to remember the threefold test that determines where you are in relation to the fulfilled Word.

1^st    Do we believe God said this in His Word?

2^nd   Do we believe that this word is true?

3^rd   Do we understand, by the Holy Spirit the wisdom of the principle?

 

Psalm 37:3-5

“Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

V4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and HE shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

V5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.”

 

Only one thing can stand between you and the fulfillment of the Word, your personal resistance. 

 

Resistance is what has kept God and the fulfillment of God’s promises just an arms length away.

 

God has spoken into existence many beautiful promises, some that you have received and some you have not yet received.

 

It’s true, you have at times resisted God.  Sometimes when it really mattered that you trust Him¼ 

 

When you resisted God and when you resist Him now, here’s what happens:

 

Because you are made in the image and likeness of God – You can create too. 

When you create and what you create is by permission from God through free will.

You can create in God’s will or out of God’s will – And whatever you create must run its course.

 

As you come to a greater knowledge of God’s will in your life, sometimes you want to stop the motion of what you already created. 

 

In other words, you found a new and better way and you want to do away with the old way and get on with the new.  This is a good thing, but sometimes it is like a ten car pileup in dense fog.  You stop, but what you have already created must run its course, for better or for worse. (I know this might hurt a little, but ignoring reality is far more painful in the long haul)

 

That’s why – When you come to Christ for the first time or when you have a new awakening – Even though you recognize the beauty of the Lord – And your sins have been forgiven – And you are a new creation – It takes time for the holiness of God to repair or rehabilitate what you have created.  You become new, but your past creations must run their course.

This is a principle of God.  It will always hold true.

What God wants from you, right now, is to make a commitment not to resist God’s Word for you, now and in the future.

God Thinking - The Wisdom Of The Principle 3

"Every Word of God that we:

1^st    Believe God said it.
2^nd   Believe that this word is true?
3^rd   Understand, by the Holy Spirit the wisdom of the principle?  Creates what it calls for.

No doubt can enter in.  No wavering.  No trying it out to see how it works.  What it takes for God’s Word to work its power in you is (no resistance from you).

Listening or hearing in itself will not activate the power and authority of God.

The Word has to be heard – received – believed and trusted for it to have power in you.

You have to trust God at His Word.

Now in your defense:

I believe that all of us have decided in our heart that the Bible is the Word of God.

If not then let’s get together and pray about that.

It is a huge step of faith, but it is essential if you are to receive power and authority from God.

By believing that the Bible is the Word of God, you allow the Holy Spirit to use the scriptures to teach you and train you.  You allow the Holy Spirit access to your heart by faith. 

Believing that the Bible is the Word of God gets you to the place where you can receive understanding from God. 

But for the Word of God to create what it says in your life, you have to trust God.  God knows the end from the beginning. 

God is not going to allow you to try Him out and test Him to see if God is all He says He is, like trying out a new car.  God knows when you are fooling around, and He knows when you are trusting in Him.  God knows when your faith is in yourself and God knows when your faith is in Him. 

Because He knows all these things, He set His Word up to work for those who trust Him, when they trust Him.  This is a principle of God and it can never fail.

 

Now let’s go back to the verse.

Psalm 37:3

“Trust in the LORD¼”  

Excerpt from God Thinking - The Wisdom Of The Principle by Keith C. Powell copyright 2012  

God Thinking - The Wisdom Of The Principle 2

"Every lesson - every principle – every truth from God must pass this test in your heart before you can receive the power and authority of the Word.

This test being:

1^st    Do you believe what God said this in His Word?
2^nd   Do you believe that this word is true?
3^rd   Do you understand, by the Holy Spirit the wisdom of the principle?

Youhave  within you the Holy Spirit of God. 

You hear the voice of God through God’s Holy Word.

You receive the fulfillment of the Word of God when you receive the wisdom of the principle or revelation by the Holy Spirit.

“Trust in the LORD”.  It is the Word that created the heavens and the earth and all that is within it.  It is the same Word that created life itself. 

Now watch this carefully.

God speaks His Word and creates the heaven and the earth.
God speaks into existence light, plants, animals and even mankind.
God can speak anything into existence out of nothing, because there is no resistance.

Where there is no resistance - God’s Word flows freely.

When God speaks His Word to you – You have free will to resist or receive. 

If you did not resist the Word of God, every Word would be yours. 

Every Word would perform its task.
Every Word would bring into existence its purpose.
Every Word would be fulfilled.

God Thinking - The Wisdom Of The Principle 2 by Keith C. Powell Copyright 2012

God Thinking - The Wisdom Of The Principle 1

1^st    Do you believe what God said this in His Word?

2^nd   Do you believe that this Word is true?

3^rd   Do you understand, by the Holy Spirit the wisdom of the principle?

 

In other words; have you received the wisdom of the Word from God and have you maintained your faith in it without changing or looking back to reconsider whether you believe it or not.?

Has the Word been made alive, so that when you read it you trust it implicitly to perform what it says it will?

 

You can answer that by answering this.  Do you apply the truth that you received from the Word of God to all areas of your life?

 

You say that you trust the LORD, but do you trust the LORD?  I believe that most of us do not trust God the way that we should:

Implicitly without reservation

With full assurance that Gods Word will be fulfilled

Without any doubt

 

Really there isn’t much since in reading on until you believe by revelation of the Holy Spirit what God has already spoken to you.  What you are about to read will probably make you mad if you are not sold out to Jesus.
