As truth
upon truth is revealed, each truth triggers another great promise of God.
As each
truth is revealed and each promise realized, your mind is empowered to think
like Christ.
When you begin to think like Christ, you begin to find your calling - your place - your
station in life.
Then as you live out your life in Christ, you can live it to its fullest - free from old
baggage - free from dependency - free from hypocrisy - free from wrong
thinking.
God wants to
embower you to take control of your life and allow Him to work, His
greatness, in you and through you.
The way you think is so important that when God created the heavens and the earth and all
that is within it, He created all of it so that it would reveal His
essence. God reveals Himself through
creation, but God is not the creation.
I want to
read to you what God says, becomes of man, when man operates with wrong
thinking.
It is found
in Romans 1: 18-21, “For the wrath
of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of
men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness;
V19 Because
that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto
them.
V20 For the
invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so
that they are without excuse:
V21 Because
that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful;
but became vain in their imaginations, and the their foolish heart was
darkened.”
And verse 21
from the International Children’s Bible,
“They knew
God. But they did not give glory to God,
and they did not thank Him. Their
thinking became useless. Their foolish minds
were filled with darkness.”
I can’t let that
happen again in my life again - useless thinking. I’ve been
there. I’ve been the
one that knew God, but did not give God the glory. I’ve lived
through a season of useless thinking, but no more.
You have God’s Word on this. If you will
give up the things that you hold to that keep you from giving God the glory, God
will give you everything He has promised you in His Word.
And that’s no idle
promise.
God has
already begun to pour out His blessings on you, because God doesn’t want
anybody to miss this opportunity. Even
though God’s blessings have always been there, there are times and seasons
that you have been prepared to receive them.
Its time to
take action and act on your own behalf.
Just as the free gift of salvation is available, by faith, to all who
believe, so too are all of God’s promises made available, by faith, to all who
believe.
You must
start thinking or continue thinking thoughts worthy of a great and mighty God.
- A miracle working God.
As I said
before, It doesn’t take faith to accomplish what you can do on your
own. Faith is when you trust God for what
can only be accomplished by God.
Are you
ready for that kind of living?"
