God Thinking X - Deep Calls Unto Deep 3

"God thinking never has to look elsewhere to be fulfilled.  With God thinking you are fulfilled by your constant communion with Christ.

God thinking has a high and lofty view of God.

God thinking takes advantage of the moment and everyone benefits.

God thinking demands that you follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and that you allow God to move you, despite the unbelief that is ever present around you.
Matthew 20:30-34

“And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.

V31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.

V32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do for you?

V33 They say unto Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

V34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

 Again let’s read verse 30

“And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.

First: Don’t ever think that you are not needed for the spreading of the gospel.  The great commission is not the great suggestion.

Had not someone told these two blind men about Jesus, Jesus could have passed by without their even knowing it.  Jesus is here, among us and you must tell the blind, (the blind in sight and the blind in spirit) that Jesus is here. 

Somebody, has told everybody, who has come to the Lord, that the Lord was passing by (near) and aren’t you glad for that somebody that told you Jesus was (near).

Second: When you recognize your total inadequacy (blindness) and you recognize God’s All-Sufficiency you cry out. 

You cry out for mercy to the All-Merciful God. 

When you see that God has what you need or desire, you should cry out.

In your blindness you too should cry out.  But I am not sure that we are that hungry for what God has that we do not have.

Healing a person’s blindness is not a difficult task for God.  Healing your blindness is not a difficult task for God. 

But if Jesus were coming to town (in the flesh) to hold a healing seminar, would you be there?  Would you push forward and cry out for a touch from God?'
