Don’t Allow Your Own Thinking To Keep You From Remaining!
Don’t Allow Your Own Thinking To Keep You From Remaining!
We spend more time on the treadmill of life than we do believing God for the miracle healing, deliverance, breakthrough and POWER! After these three nights - in which I believe God has not only resurrected our thinking but has transformed our thinking, renewing it to seeing clearer and farther!
God wants you to see more than you think or could ever imagine seeing - His desires are to elevate you into a level of thinking that will surpass all of your own understanding!
Genesis 15: 5-6 “5 Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” 6 And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.”
Your account is full and overflowing because you believe on His Word - You are not like those brood of vipers who seeks for a sign - You believe and know that His Word is True!
Therefore, you continue Onward and Upward for you know that God has prospered you and prepared you for a time like this!
The evidence you have seen ensures you of God’s Power to continue on - Why return back to what hindered you, depressed you, cause you to be hopeless?
You cannot allow your feelings and emotions to block you from seeing further
When booking a cruise - you can choose your room location or you can let them choose it for you!
If you purchase a suite, they will give you options accordingly - but there is one that has obstructed views
If you chose this particular room - how can you complain about the obstructed views when the provider have told you upfront what comes with this particular room?
God has given us sight to see what is head of us - some of us choose to continue on that particular path, but then get disappointed when we cannot see clearly!
Paul is letting the Galatians know that they need to continue onward and upwards in The Power that caused them to live again and not be entangled again with what cause them to become as dead men!
We heard our Bishop last night tell us that we cannot not go back to “They” again - You must continue Onward and Upward!
Abram could not remain where he was and receive the miracles of where God had ordained him to be - He is to become the father of many nations - I know that may sound impossible, but we serve The Living God that can turn the impossible into possible!
God is in the business of manifesting miracles right before our eyes, but some of us are so rigid in our thinking, we let our own thinking trouble us into believing that it cannot happen to me!
You need to loosen up and not be so rigid in your thinking!
We must get away from always thinking that this cannot be true - and allow our minds to be renewed by The Holy Spirit of God Who can do an exceedingly greater work than what we can think or even ask!
Paul is urging the bretheren to not return to the former state of themselves - remain steadfast, immovable in this mindset that God has bestowed upon them which cause them to live!
The law wants to keep you stagnant, and if you are not careful, your mind will become so rigid to the point you will refute The Teachings from The Holy Spirit!
Some are so rigid in their thinking that they are waiting for things to be in order before you believe it will be manifested in the natural!
God owns everything - He does not have to attend to order - As a matter of fact, God has disrupted order!
We trying to keep something that God has disrupted:
The older served the younger
Lazarus was raised from the dead by The Word of Christ
Jesus ate with the publicans and sinners
You need to fine tune your sight - and quit allowing your own thinking to cause you to miss The Blessings of God!
Proverbs 17:24 Wisdom is in the sight of him who has understanding, But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth
The law will keep you from knowing Who you are in Him and that you are in The Kingdom of God where miracles are manifested! The law will cause you to look at things from a natural perspective, blocking you from believing that you can go further!
Many don’t believe in miracles because God uses man to perform the miracles in the earth!
Luke 11:15 “15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.””
My problem with this text is that they can believe in beelzebub, but refute The Holy One of God!
There is a curse with continuing in things contrary to The Will of God for your life - Galatians 3:10 “10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.””
The law has become so watered down with man’s perspective, it was impossible to even live according to it!
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law - He was bruised for us so that we would not have to endure the pressure! Galatians 3:13-14 (NKJV) 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
I refuse to allow my own thinking to move me out the place God has granted me access to be in - I refuse to be pressured away from my purpose in the earth - I am too powered up now to be moved away!
Christ came and removed the need for us to continue under what we think should be - Christ told Nicodemus that he must be born again -John 3:1-8 “1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.””
God wants us to get our feelings out of the way and let The Holy Spirit have His Way!
Onward and Upwards - My Own Thinking Won’t Block My Blessings anymore - The Hand of God has grasps hold of me and has yanked me forward - I won’t let go!
That won’t hold me strong anymore - I must continue on regardless of what I may encounter - I refuse to get weary in doing well!
