What are you thinking?

​What we think in our mind is what we are prone to do.
 
Proverbs 23:7 For as a man thinketh in his heart so is he.
 
              Our thoughts are the words of our conscience.  So, what have we allowed in our conscience?  I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve been accused of having a guilty conscience.  Evidently my words and face betrayed me and I got caught in a lie.
 
Acts 24:16 This is how I choose to behave, to always have a conscience void of offense toward God and toward man.
 
How does one have an offense toward God?  He does not believe what God has said to him.  Some men struggle to believe what God has said to him.  Some men struggle to believe God is as good as He claims to be.  The Jews were always taking offense at what Jesus said.  It made no difference that Jesus was speaking the words of the Father. 
 
If you have a guilty conscience, if you don’t believe God has forgiven you, you want to be able to believe He can perform His will in your life.  I prefer to let God tell me what I should think because He is never wrong.  I do not want my thoughts to disqualify me from His blessings.  What am I thinking?  I am thinking God’s Word is true and now His thoughts are my thoughts.

    OFFERING DECLARATION
    Jesus Redeemed me from the curse, no poverty, no lack in my house.

    Wealth and riches in my home, the devil is rebuked for my sake.

    Father daily loads me with benefits, He takes pleasure in my increase.

    I love being redeemed,
    and I give my Lord all the glory.

    ​PRAYER FOCUS
    TAKING INVENTORY
     
    We are about to embark on the greatest adventure and outpouring of God’s Spirit! This month the Holy Spirit is asking us to examine ourselves/take           inventory so as God’s Vessels we can take our part and place in the Body of Christ!
     
    Scriptures to meditate on:
     
    Hebrews 12:1 Therefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.

    Psalm 26:4 Lord you can scrutinize me. Refine my heart and probe my every thought. Put me to the test and you will find it is true.
     
    2 Cor 10:6 It is written, and having a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

    1 Peter 4:17 For judgement begins at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
     
    Psalm 139: 23, 24 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me of unbelief and lead me in the way everlasting.
     
    2 Timothy 2:4 No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of (civilian) life: his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him (God)! DO ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!
