THINKING AS GOD THINKS
In Matthew 16:23 Jesus said, “You are a stumbling block to me.
You think as men think, not as God thinks."
Jesus said that when we think like men, we stumble.
How we think and what we think is important. Wrong thinking
trips us up. We need a new way of thinking; we need to think as
God thinks.
When you get in agreement with God, then you
are thinking the way that God thinks. You need to understand how God
thinks so that you can get in agreement with him.
God is the God of the possible. Impossible is not
found in his vocabulary, and impossibility doesn’t exist in his
universe. Everything is possible when you think the way God
thinks.
God is the source of all good things. All that
you are or have comes directly or indirectly from him. There are
no shortages in God’s kingdom of love. Everything that you need
to live an abundant life is already present and available for those
who think as God thinks.
HOW DOES GOD THINK?
God thinks abundance. Jesus said that he had come
so that you might have life and have it more abundantly. God
created the world and everything in it. What you need is no big
deal to God. Supplying your needs won’t break his back or
bankrupt his kingdom. God enjoys giving you good things.
His plan is to fill your cup with blessings until it runs over.
God thinks possibility. All things are possible
when you think the way God thinks. God is the God of
possibility, and there is no limit to how good your life can become
when you think the way God thinks.
God thinks positive. The most positive force in
the universe is God’s love. It changes the way you think and
feel making you into a positive person.
God thinks positive expectations. When you get
into agreement with God, your expectations change. Impossible
becomes possible, and scarcity becomes abundance. God has a
powerful positive plan for your life. God expects good things to
happen in your life when you think the way that He thinks.
God thinks forgiveness. God forgives you for the
wrong things that you have done. He not only wipes the slate
clean, He also throws the slate away.
God thinks freedom for the captives. Jesus came
to set the prisoners free. The chains of lack and limitation
fall off when you think the way God thinks.
God thinks release from oppression. Jesus came to
liberate you from all forms of oppression. Economic, spiritual,
chemical, and psychological dependencies disappear when you think the
way God thinks.
God thinks recovery of what has been lost. The
blind receive their sight. What the world destroys and takes
away, God recovers and restores.
God thinks favor. He bestows his blessings on all
who get in agreement with him. He opens the windows of heaven,
and blessings fall all around.
God thinks good news. God has no dark side. He is
on our side, and is in it with us for the long haul. All of
God’s thoughts are good news. When you become silent and listen
for God’s voice, you hear his positive message of love.
You can trust God. If you do your part, God
will do his. When you get in agreement with him, when you think
the way that He thinks, then God starts working miracles in your life.
God already knows what you need even before you ask.
God wants to give you good things even more than you want to receive
them. But first you must ask.
Jesus said, “Ask and you will receive.” Asking
simply recognizes that God is the source of all good things, and that
He can be trusted to provide. Outsourcing doesn’t exist in God’s
kingdom of love. All of us need to be reminded that God is
our source. God will give you what you need unless you block
him. There are no shortages in God’s kingdom of love. God
is a God of abundance, and when you get in agreement with him, when
you trust him to supply your needs, when you have positive
expectations, then the windows of heaven open, and blessings fall all
around.

Having
a personal relationship with God is more than a celestial insurance policy
that guarantees safe passage to paradise when you die. It has more to do
with the here and now. If you get the here and now right, you don’t need
to worry about what will happen when you die. The Father who took care of
you during your stay on planet earth is trustworthy, and when it’s time
for your promotion, He will take care of you on the other side of
eternity. You can count on that!
God focuses his love on you right where you are with all your problems and
addictions, and He does it now. The Father is a here and now God.
Nothing
is too hard for God. After all, He created the universe and everything in
it. When it comes to dealing with your problems and turning your life
around, He’s in it with you for the long haul, and He is ready to move
mountains of difficulty out of your life. God will do more than point you
in the right direction. He will also give you the power to make the trip.
So what
can you expect from your personal relationship with God?
When Jesus started his mission on planet earth, he stated exactly what you
should expect. He said that he came, “To announce good news to the poor,
to proclaim freedom for the prisoners, recovery of sight for the blind, to
release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” That is
his master plan for the here and now.
There is Good News in the here and now, and you are supposed to
take it personally.
There is Freedom in the here and now, and you are supposed to take
it personally.
There is Recovery from what has been lost in the here and now, and
you are supposed to take it personally.
There is Release from oppression in the here and now, and you are
supposed to take it personally.
There is God’s special favor in the here and now, and you are
supposed to take it personally.
God has
a dream for your life that has all of these components in it. His master
plan is good news from start to finish. Old things will pass away, and
God will make all things new. You will discover the truth that sets you
free. You will recover what has been lost. You will be released from all
forms of oppression, and your addictions will become a thing of the past.
Finally, God will open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings into
your life. That sounds like a plan that I can live with.
That’s
what Jesus came to do in the here and now, and it’s high time that you
take it personally. |
Jesus said that faith is essential to making
your life into what you want it to be. He said, "As you believe, so it
shall be done unto you." What is it about faith that makes it so
important?
1. Faith changes your vision. When you have
faith, you see possibilities that other people cannot appreciate. While
others stumble around in spiritual darkness, you see where you are going,
and you have clarity of purpose.
2. Faith changes your focus. You radically
shift your focus in a new direction, and that focus expands. Instead of
your limited and short-sighted dreams, you have the privilege of
experiencing God's dream for your life.
3. Faith takes the handcuffs off God. God
doesn't push and shove his way into your life. He enters your heart and
mind by invitation only. You must ask him to come in and change the way
you think and feel. Once you ask him into your heart and mind, the
handcuffs come off God, and He starts working miracles.
4. Faith gives you positive expectations. Your old way of thinking and
feeling is gone. You believe that there is no limit to how good your life
can become when you get in agreement with God's plan. When you say yes to
God, his purpose and plan take you places that you never dreamed were
possible.
5. Faith is a switch that turns you on and starts you moving. The
inertia of your old life dissipates as the power of God's love rolls
through your heart and mind.
6. Faith makes you congruent. Your head, heart, and will now want the
same thing and move in the same direction. You get in agreement with
God, and become a part of his unstoppable plan.
7. Faith gives you courage when you place your trust in God. God is your
Defender, the Captain of your fate, and the Master of your soul. He is
your Guide and will show you where to take the next step. He knows your
life from start to finish, and it won't be over until He says it's over.
You have nothing to fear.
