God Thinking LXII - You Will Make A Decision 6

"If you want to know why so many people are messed up, think about all the untruths that have been spoken about God the Father, the Holy Spirit and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 

And if you want to know why so many Christians are living out their lives without evidence of the presence of God in their life, just think about all the untruths they have been taught about themselves.

It’s no wonder our society is so messed up.  They believe in a God that is either powerless or genie-like and they believe in themselves as either broken beyond repair or self-sustaining. 

Erroneous thinking produces powerless results."

God Thinking LXII - You Will Make A Decision 5

"If living an empowered life is something new to you, there is no need to be ashamed.  “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”.

• Religion has taught believers that they cannot win over temptation.
• Religion has taught believers for centuries that the move of the Spirit of God was only for a short time.
• Religion has taught believers that they must go through a mediator to apprehend God.
• Religion has taught believers that they cannot understand what they read.
• Priest’s and pastors, ministers and teachers have been teaching a powerless gospel to a faithless people for centuries.

And now we have self-proclaimed Apostles and prophets, ascended masters and spiritual guru’s teaching a magical genie kind of God. 

It’s not true that the power of God has been removed from us and neither is it true that God performs silly magical feats for the ignorant and unlearned to reveal Himself.

God is self-disclosed and cannot be hidden.  God’s power is evident in all power and God’s creation is evident in itself.  God’s supernatural intervention is also evident by God's ever present ability to change the hearts of men."

God Thinking LXII - You Will Make A Decision 4

"Too many Christians are willing to ignore the lure of the world.

Too many Christians are willing to ignore the signs of the times.

They paint their own picture of the way things are and the way things should be:

without consultation from wise counsel

without instruction from scripture

without prayerfully considering the results of their actions

without recognition of God’s Sovereignty.

See, to say that we believe that God is sovereign, and live like He is distant and unconcerned, is hypocrisy.

Jesus didn’t think much of hypocrisy during His earthly ministry and He doesn’t think much of hypocrisy right now.

You need to kick out that old kind of thinking, that says, just because you cannot live a sinless life, like Jesus Christ did, that somehow that equates to your having no ability or power at all; That since you have fallen short in times past, you must constantly, and without refrain, continue to fall prey to the ploys of your enemy.  Stop it.

You have been empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit to overcome the world, not succumb to the world.

You are to be in the world, not of the world.

Your success isn't achieved in living a sinless life without a Savior, it is living your life, empowered, by a sinless Savior."

God Thinking LXII - You Will Make A Decision 3

God thinking is for those who want to give up more of the temporal

short lived

ever changing

thrown together

not well planned out

I’ll worry about the consequences        later, mind-set

 

And replace it with things:

Eternal

Long lived

Stable

Well planned

Thoughts developed through prayer

                       And communion with God

You mustn't deny God entrance into the affairs of your life. 

And you do deny God entrance into the affairs of your life when you are outside of the will of God. 

Jesus Christ came into this world and lived, died and rose again to empower you to live above the fray.

Too many Christians are willing to ignore the warning of the pastor/teacher/minister/friend.

God Thinking LXII - You Will Make A Decision 2

"Do you want to be positively affected down in your soul?

Can you make up your mind to allow God to weed out every thing that is not of God, by God or for God and allow God’s Word to give you the answers of the moment, the day, for your career, your ministry, your direction, your life?

Will you make a way for God to have His way?

When God speaks to your heart you are drawn closer. 

That’s why I can say, you will make an important decision today.

--------------------

The trappings of the seen, (the visible world) have all but blinded us of the unseen, (the invisible world).

The pleasure of the moment has caused a thick fog to pass over our good sense.

The desire for immediate gratification has all but eradicated our vision for the long haul.

A wise man or woman will enjoy the moment without compromising the future.

God thinking is for those who have decided to seek out those things that bring peace and comfort,  financial security, joy and happiness - without filling their tomorrows with unpredictable troubles and problems, without compromising their future."

God Thinking LXII - You Will Make A Decision Today 1

Psalms 63:1

1.  O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

Lamentations 3:24-25

24.  The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

25.  The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

1 Chronicles 28:9

9.  And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee;

To seek after God and not find Him, not only in the quiet of meditation, but also in the noise of the day, is proof of how distanced we have become from a pure and holy life.

God has a more difficult task in finding you that you do of finding God.

In your busied life, you manage to be unavailable.  God is always available, but you make yourself unavailable by your actions.

You have managed to disassociate with the never changing Spirit world, for a moment of attention from the ever changing material world.

I am going to help you make some crucial decisions in your life today, because the teaching of the truth always weeds out the heart.

In your heart, you will make a decision today.

When God speaks to your heart, one of three things happen:

         1              You remain unchanged - unmoved by God’s Word for

you, not at all stirred up, encouraged or empowered - the true sign of cultural or carnal Christianity.        

Or when God speaks to your heart:

2      You turn away and do not let what God said to become true in you, even though you hear the voice of God - even though you know it is right - even though you know that God is dealing with you for our own benefit - even though you know the consequences of not adhering to what God is saying is devastating - you turn away.

Or when God speaks to your heart:

3     You are drawn closer.

God Thinking LXI - Good Theology 10

"Good theology and God Thinking are synonymous.

Hear the Words of scripture as you read what God says is theology to live by.

Today I have a Word from God for you.  A Word that you need to add to what you believe to build up your internal theology.

As you read the Word, you will hear a Word that will move your spirit.  That Word is for you.
Note: You can fight me and not listen at all, but please don't fight God. Abandon every word I have written, but don't abandon the simple truths that can really make a difference in your life.  

The Holy Spirit will confirm in your spirit, that, (the Word of God is for you as it is written.)

When this happens - at the very moment, I want you to standup and speak:

Speak to your need

Speak to your circumstance

Speak to your situation

Speak to your business

Speak to your family

Speak to your ministry

Speak to your body

Whatever it is that God puts on your heart to speak into being or to speak out of your life, you need to do it when God gives you the unction.

Don’t let this moment slip into eternity and the blessing that is for you, passes by.

Let the power of good theology be released in your life today. 

You might want to save this list.

John 12:46-48

46.  I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

47.  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48.  He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Mark 9:23

23.  Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 

Isn’t there anyone up against impossible odds???

Psalms 46:1-3

1.  God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2.  Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Nahum 1:7

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

James 1:5-8

5.  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

6.  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7.  For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8.  A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Isaiah 25:1

10.  That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;

11.  Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Proverbs 3:5-10

5.  Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6.  In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7.  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

8.  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

9.  Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10.  So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Psalms 32:8

8.  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

John 15:11

11.  These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full."
