Higher Thoughts
Today
is the day to speak life! Give yourself over to higher thoughts.
As the heavens are higher than the earth so are God's ways higher
than ours. Making every thought obedient to the truth of God’s
Word, higher thoughts, makes God's life and love flow much smoother.
There
are thoughts that lift you up and thoughts that bring you down.
There are thoughts of possibility and thoughts of impossibility.
There are thoughts of faith and thoughts of fear. All kinds
of thoughts arise when we are confronted with different things that
challenge us. Some things we encounter we jump at with faith
and expectancy while others can make us want to hide. Thoughts
of failure, fear and doubt need to be confronted and replaced with
higher thoughts, God’s perspective and promise. The
key to overcoming is finding specific promises that apply toward
the things that challenge us and make us uncomfortable. The
promise is the guarantee of the positive outcome and victory in
all things. As we renew our perspective in the light of the promises
we will change and strongholds that have been built up over time
will come down.
As
we discover what things are triggering fear and other negative emotions
we can begin to see the openings in our hearts and then to close
these openings to the darkness of lies by filling our hearts with
light of truth. At this point healing occurs, renewal of the
mind and strongholds of faith are established to replace doubt and
unbelief.
Living
in higher thoughts also enables us to realize the higher authority
of Jesus in us. The lower thoughts originate in hell.
We must get a revelation of the authority that Jesus has and has
given to us to walk in. The people took note that Jesus taught
as one who had authority, not like the scribes. Jesus constantly
exercised His authority. In these passages below Jesus delegates
His authority to us to go and be His representatives:
Matt
28:18-20
And
Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been
given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore . . .
By
throwing down the imaginations that exalt themselves against the
truth of God’s Word we then gain a greater place of victory
and as well a place to see others set free in areas where we have
found freedom. But it is only when we find that place of freedom
that we are able to be the vessels of freedom to others. Joy
is one of the signs of our true freedom. If there is not joy
there is some kind of oppression over our minds that is keeping
us down below the place we are to be living. We need to understand
that joy is not based on outer circumstances but is a spiritual
reality in Christ because of the living revelation of who we are,
where we are and what we have in Christ. When the kingdom of God
is manifest there is a breaking of chains that obviously results
in peace, joy and the ability to live a holy life in God!
That is why over and over we see in scripture where people are freed
from demons, are healed or have an encounter with God etc. resulting
in great joy and rejoicing. Make a choice to live the life of joy
by trusting in the authority of God’s Word, speaking life
by confessing what God has already said that you are, lift you spirit
in worship and prayer, rest in His work on the cross and receive
every good and perfect gift that God has for you. Never forget
that God is good and ONLY does good things for His children.

And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
