Correct Thinking is “God Thinking”

God has ordained and guarantees that we live a disease-free and prosperous life in Christ.  This blessed life is experienced by each individual as he or she learns and reaches the state of knowing God’s truths regarding it.  St. John 8:31-32 declare, “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,  if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”  Known truth inside us makes us free, not truth in the Bible lying on our table at home.  The state of knowing is reached by hearing, meditation and continued practice of truth.. Therefore, to experience the abundant life in Christ, we must acquire in-depth insight into God’s words and an appreciation for the “work” of thinking them to receive manifestations of His blessings. 

God is a Spirit. His words are “spiritual Thoughts” that came out of Him. Remember, God thought before He spoke and created Heaven and earth and the things in them. He also created our spirit as the part of our being that holds thoughts that we acquire and know.  I Corinthians 2:11declares, “For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man but the Spirit of God.”  We must come to know God’s thoughts to receive His blessings.

We receive God’s words into our spirit by hearing them. (Romans 10:17)  Technically, we receive His Thoughts, which are embodied in His words.  He gives us His thoughts to think, abandoning our natural thoughts. For God’s Thoughts are higher than ours as well as those of Satan. (Isaiah 55:7-9)   This is important to understand. God’s Thoughts have “dominion” over both natural and satanic thinking.  Satan operates in a domain of spiritual darkness. He conceives wicked imaginations and develops devices that bring sickness, disease, turmoil, lack, etc. into people’s lives.  However, his thoughts are lower than God’s thoughts. In Christ, we simply submit to God’s Thoughts, resist the devil with them and he flees from us. (James 4:7) 

Also, God’s thoughts are destined to come to pass or manifest. Isaiah 14:24 declares, “The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand.”  This Promise from God gives us a firm conviction of seeing His blessings manifest in our lives. God has promised us health; He has promised us abundance.  As God has thought and we receive His thoughts and think them only, He performs to fulfill them in our lives.  God Bless
