For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord , so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes]. (1 Cor. 2:16) AMP
Saints, this is a BIG subject! I am bringing to you what I am learning myself on a deeper level as I dive deeper into the love of God. I pray that every child of God will get a new revelation of this! First, God's thoughts for us are so magnificently good and pure, and His plans for us so excellent, that most can barely grasp it!
Many think God is mad at them, or that they aren't forgiven because they have messed up too many times, or that He is OK with them when they feel good, but not all the time! Nothing could be further from the truth! His thoughts for us are good all the time, and He said this so long ago.
Jeremiah 29:11 TPT
Here’s what Yahweh says to you: “I know all about the marvelous destiny I have in store for you, a future planned out in detail. My intention is not to harm you but to surround you with peace and prosperity and to give you a beautiful future, glistening with hope.
Wow! You can look in the NKJV and then look at this in the TPT, and really get a feel for how good our God thinks of us.
David knew in his heart how good God is and how the Lord thought about him. Look at this in Psalm 139:17-18 TPT...
Every single moment you are thinking of me! How precious and wonderful to consider that you cherish me constantly in your every thought! O God, your desires toward me are more than the grains of sand on every shore! When I awake each morning, you’re still with me.
So if we aren't thinking of ourselves like this in our relationship with the Lord, we are really missing out on His goodness, which then leads to a lot of incorrect perceptions and not so good responses to the things life may bring our way.
If we are going to rule and reign in this life, we must first think good things about ourselves coinciding with how God sees us every single day.
In other words, keeping out thoughts on what is pure and true and noble, (see Phil. 4:8) it will help us handle the every day issues with the mind of Christ - or, thinking like He does. We see ourselves as blessed and prosperous and victorious in every area of our lives and we don't allow negative thinking to govern who we are, or our life circumstances.
If we really have the mind of Christ, we will use the Bible as our plumb line to show us how to think, talk and live so that we can take hold of a victorious life that He intends for us. What are you thinking about and speaking? The mind and heart are connected. If you have any negativity going on in your heart and mind, it's time to cast it down and start thinking like the victorious Blood bought child of the King that we are - amen!
The next time you catch yourself thinking, talking or acting in a negative way, just do an about face so to speak, and get your mind back on godly thinking, speaking and heart believing. God is so abundantly good! Be blessed!
