The importance of Godly thinking!

One of the most important things we learn as Christians is to change our way of thinking to match what God wants to do in our lives.

If you spend most of your time doing things your way, you are on the road to limited success. Doing things God's way guarantees success beyond your wildest dreams.

That God's way of doing things is better than ours we read in Isaiah 55:8-9 My plans are not your plans, and your ways are not my ways - speaks the LORD. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so far go my ways your ways beyond, and my plans your plans."

If we want to enter the seasons God has for us, we must understand His way of doing things.

We often forget that the mind plays a very important role in serving God. Many Christians do not realize the importance of renewing the mind until something goes wrong.

We must let go of our old way of thinking if we are to succeed in fulfilling God's plan for our lives and enter the seasons ahead.

Too often it is wrong thinking that holds us back and prevents God from bringing us to the place where we can experience His goodness and grace.

If we put our way of thinking above God's, we can count on him to do his best to correct us.

The Holy Spirit is very good at changing our old way of thinking so that we can carry out God's plan and see His grace at work.

A good example is Peter. God poured out His Holy Spirit on the Gentiles and wanted to use Peter to bring this great message to them. But Peter was convinced that the Gentiles had no part in what God was doing.

Like many Christians today, he was caught up in a way of thinking that did not match what God was doing.

He was certainly not yet aware that we are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. "There are no more Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, men or women - we are all one in Christ Jesus..." Galatians 3:28

Peter desperately needed a renewal of his thinking, and God would make that clear to him by sending him to the house of Cornelius, as we read in Acts chapter 10.

There are times in our lives when the Lord shows us things for the purpose of changing our thinking. Changes that bring us in line with His Word.

Godly thinking is not difficult if we listen to the Holy Spirit. He shows you where you are with your thinking and where you need to be!
