Thinking Right to See Promises in My Life

Before we gave our hearts to Christ, our thinking was influenced by the world. Now that we belong to God, Holy Spirit gives unto us God’s thoughts. According to 1 Corinthians 2:16, we have been given the mind of Christ! This means we have access to God’s counsel, thoughts, and feelings.

1 Corinthians 2:16 AMPC For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.

Although we have been given the mind of Christ, we still decide which thoughts we allow to dominate our minds and influence our decisions. For example, when we are faced with trials in life, Holy Spirit will provide us with God’s thoughts concerning the matter but our mind may also provide us with a worldly perspective. This worldly perspective is a way of thinking that has not yet been renewed by God’s Word. The way of thinking that you give the most attention to will have an impact on the choices you make. My prayer is that you will reject the worldly way of thinking and give more attention to God’s Word and benefit by obtaining His precious promises.

Philippians 4:8 AMP Finally, [a]believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].

Prayer for the Journey

God, thank you for your Word. It is by your Word that my mind is renewed. Help me to accept your way of thinking and reject any worldly thought that arises in my mind. I know that when I think in alignment with Christ, I will see your purposes and plans fulfilled in my life. Lord, today I fix my thoughts on the hope found in your Word. In Jesus Name, Amen!

Grace Makes and Faith Takes

Salvation is a result of grace. “Grace is the unmerited abounding provision of the unrestrained operation of God’s infinite love that comes through Jesus on behalf of man, especially for those who choose to depend on Him” – Creflo Dollar.

By grace, God first allows us to see that we are in darkness (living without dependency on Him) and reveals to us the light (His salvation from the power of Satan). When this revelation occurs, God permits us to choose between life (salvation that yields the blessing) and death (damnation that yields the curse).

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NLT “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

When your eyes have been enlightened to this glorious gospel, it requires your faith for it to be in operation in your life. It is through faith, your belief in what Jesus did through His death, burial, resurrection, and seating at the right hand of the Father that allows you to lay hold of all that grace has provided through salvation. -GRACE MADE SALVATION AVAILABLE AND YOUR FAITH TAKES IT!-

Ephesians 2:8 KJ For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Now, with salvation being in operation in your life, you can go on to do the good works that God has predestined for you to walk in.

Ephesians 2:10 NLT For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Prayer for the Journey

Thank you, God, for saving me. Thank you for opening my eyes to the fact that I was in darkness. It is through my belief alone and not works that I enter into the light. Now father as I am forever in a relationship with you, help me do your will.

In Jesus Name, Amen!

The Unseen Movement in Progression

There is often progression towards a destination that is not seen. During the moments where progression is cloaked, believers often lose hope in the promise they received from God. If you don't see forward movement towards the promise of God, know that He is working behind the scenes to bring you to every destined place.
