Thoughts Day 2

Who is in control? We all follow our thoughts. What path are they leading us down? Our thoughts are our opinions and desires. Our thoughts are what we believe. Our thoughts are our world where we live. Our thoughts are our roadmap. We follow wherever they lead us. We believe what they say. We spend more time with our thoughts than with anything or anyone else. Our thoughts conduct our lives. Our understanding of the past is shaped by our thoughts. Our view of the future is dominated by our thoughts. Who is in control of the millions of thoughts that enter our mind every hour? Where do they come from? If our thoughts are the vehicle on the road of our lives, who is driving? Our thoughts are our basis for every opinion and decision we make, right? Then who or what is the source of our thoughts? Are we, alone, the originator of every thought? Whoever is the source of our thoughts is in control of our mind. Whoever is in control of our mind is in control of our lives. We were given a precious gift from Father God. This gift is called, free will. We have the freedom to choose what we say, do and think about every second that we live on the earth. Is that personal power of choice valuable? Does anyone or any being want to take your power to choose away from you? In other words, are there other voices coming to your mind that disguise themselves as your own thoughts? If so, why are they talking to you? What’s their goal? Who is sending them? Do they want to rob you or help you? Are they good or evil? Is there any way that we can remain alone in our thoughts? Is there any way we can control the traffic in our head? Can we choose which thoughts from outside of us enter our minds and which ones are blocked?

Thoughts-Day 1

THOUGHTS This is a 12 day series. Answer the questions one day at a time. Read each question and take time to think about the answer. Don’t skip ahead. Ponder the questions for a whole day. Make observations. Ask Holy Spirit to reveal things to you. Day 1 Test your mind! When your phone rings, the first thing you want to know is, who’s calling? Is your mind private? Are all your thoughts created by you? Or are others calling you and talking to you in your head? If so, who are they? What do they want? 1 John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God Are you alone with your thoughts? Are all the thoughts actually “thoughts “ or are they messages? Is our mind like a sealed vault? Or is it more like a radio receiver? How private are our own thoughts? If our own thoughts are not private, who else is listening? If the words in your head are not all formed by ourselves, who else is talking to us? Do we have any control over the invasion?

Truth, Love and Lies

Truth is stronger than a lie. Just as love always wins, truth always prevails. Lies can’t last forever, but truth is eternal. Lies are always eventually contained but truth has no walls. Don’t be afraid of lies. Be patient. Truth will always prevail. I Am the Way, the Truth and Life. I Am is here. Every lie will eventually be exposed. Time is on our side. Think eternity versus temporary. I Am with you, don’t be afraid! John 17:16 Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. 1 Corinthians 13:6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Fighting Darkness

How do you fight darkness, fear, anger and depression in those around you? How do you fight confusion, deception and lies? How do you win each battle within your own mind and heart? The answer to all these questions lies within the most powerful weapon in the world . . . My Love. My Love is the answer to all your needs. Do you have difficult people who are deceived nearby? Ask Me to pour My perfect love for them into your heart.  Yes, YOUR HEART. You see, love must enter your heart first.  You must have my love within you before I can use you to pour love on them.  How can you share living water when your own cup is empty? Come to Me.  Be still before Me.  Open your heart and receive My love for you. Then, ask Me to pour My love into you for those who are blind and spiritually handicapped. Above all, forgive. Ask Me to make your forgiveness real. Ask Me to cleanse even your memories that seek to plague you and rob you of peaceful relationships. Come to Me with the desire for the living water of My love to wash away all of your painful past. Let’s walk together in supernatural love towards the difficult ones. Every miracle begins with one thing . . . love. There are no miracles without real, forgiving, accepting, patient, kind and serving LOVE. I Am the source of all real love. There is no love apart from Me. Come to Me all you are heavily burdened and I will give you rest. What is that rest like? The most comforting love. I will cause even your enemies to be at peace with you when you and I together fill them with love. I love you! 1 John 4:18 Perfect love casts out fear. Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Emotions and frustrations

When you know you cannot do anything else to help the hardened ones near you, give them to Me and work on yourself. Recognize your weakness and come to Me. Bind and cast out the enemy who wants to upset you. Fight that good fight. Submit to God, resist the devil’s attempts to upset you, and he will flee away. Never forget that I gave you authority to send him running away from you. Repent from all self pity.  I placed you in a strategic position. Don’t run. Send your flesh running instead.  I Am here.  I love you.  My strength is sufficient for you.  You will have just what you need.  Keep coming to Me. James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you

Money

Money is a can opener of the heart.  It reveals what’s inside. 1 Timothy 6:10 Certainly, the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Jeremiah 6:13 All of them, from the least important to the most important, are eager to make money dishonestly. All of them, from prophets to priests, act deceitfully.

Discerning Truth

Do you trust what your eyes see and your physical ears hear? Remember that the outer world can be manipulated. Remember that Satan is a liar and his children follow his example. For those who seek the Truth, I will reveal Truth. I Am the Way, the Truth and the Light. Come to Me for the truth. I promise to reveal the truth to My people who ask. 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.  Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

The vehicle that carries My strength

How we wait on God makes a difference! “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”  The quality of your waiting determines the amount of strength you receive. Do you wait with loud emotions?  They will block the full amount of strength you can receive. Wait in calm, confident peace. Suppress whirlwind thoughts and emotions.  Calm yourself like a weaned child who knows dinner is coming.  Quietness is the vehicle that carries My strength to your body and soul. Isaiah 30:15 This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: \”In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength…” Rest your soul. Give the future to Me. Enter My rest.

The Fountain of Youth

Are you looking for the fountain of youth? Look no further than your own soul.  Anger, unforgiveness, bitterness and self pity are what ages the body and the mind. Fear is the grandchild of anger. He brings death closer also. If fear is the grandchild of anger, what is the child of anger? Unbelief. An angry soul has no connection with God. Ephesians 4:31-32 Get rid of all hard feelings, anger and rage. Stop all fighting and lying. Don’t have anything to do with any kind of hatred. Be kind and tender to one another. Forgive one another, just as God forgave you because of what Christ has done. Galatians 5:19-25  19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, 21 envy,  drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar. I tell you about these things in advance—as I told you before—that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit. 26 We must not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Here is the Truth!

My people are looking for some good news in the middle of the bombardment of bad news. Here is the Truth. Here is the good news you need to hear: We are winning! We are victorious!

Lift up your hands and celebrate because I Am winning all of the battles that you see around you. Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
