Fix your thoughts

 

 

 

The moment you have communion with the Deity, you will understand whatever happens in your life. With such relationship, the disciples would have understood that Jesus had to go, Peter lacked this revelation. Hence, he wanted to defend Jesus and Jesus rebuked out the spirit in him. Paul was showed how he would suffer for the gospel, hence he understood what was happening in his life and was never shocked. Communion causes you to rest and understand.

 

 

How many of us start doubting God when we face predicaments? Your thoughts should be aligned to that of God. This relationship with God gives you direction even to the career path you have to follow. How long are we going to apply everywhere? When will reach a point where we just apply at the exact place where God wants?

 

 

When there is full communion, God leads you. Where there is communion there is trust; you are able to trust God fully regardless of what He speaks. Even though it does not seem favorable or possible, with communion you understand and not question. We need to learn what the Lord utters.

 

 

Utterances go beyond tongues; utterances are the pure language of God which is His thoughts. You do not need an audible voice to come to you but as you search His thoughts, you begin to live the life of the Higher Calling. We are all called, but are we all living the “Higher Calling”? Hence, your serving is questionable.

 

 

We were never meant to serve with strength and might but with the Higher Calling that God has bestowed upon us. It is by grace that it becomes fire burning inside of our bones. The moment you reach this level, no one will convince you to serve. We never convinced anyone to be born-again, it is the work of the Holy Spirit to convict. Salvation is not from man but God.

 

 

People can preach all they like but the moment there is no true conviction, then it is all to waste. Many say they are Christians but they are not baptized by the Spirit. Many people can preach but they lack accuracy in the Spirit. A message preached as motivation will not yield results but only genuine conviction produces and the Higher Calling raises above all things. That is when it becomes easier for you to serve God.

 

 

God surely loves us and wants to see the manifestation of what He has spoken over us. Yet this can only happen the moment we are aligned to His word [His mind]. We need constant renewal of our minds as the Word (message) is taught. There ought to be a drive in you for the renewal of the mind and this drive is the Holy Spirit. The inactivity in us is our unwillingness to commune with God.

 

 

If we were willing, we could have been very far in the Lord – we need to be deliberate with our relationship with God. Paul wrote that wives should submit and husband should love as Christ loves the church – this is a mystery. Hence, many ministers call marriage a ministry. The goal for marriage is to expose Christ. I use marriage as the proximity you understand.

 

 

We cannot be religious with God, He has availed Himself at all times so that we can communicate with Him. We have turned the bible into a religious book and prayer into a religious activity on how to communicate with Him. Many even feel condemned if they have not read the bible for a week – because we have deemed the bible as the place where God is. God is everywhere at any time. The moment you master that you can commune with God any time, you will not cry for spiritual growth or find things hard. As you commune, you will not chase levels in God, we have those who plant and water but it is God who causes growth.

 

 

So, shouldn’t God be the one worried about your spiritual growth then? Even Paul did not know his spiritual level. Focus on Christ and not your spiritual growth. A lot of people are focusing on things that should be left to God, the moment you worry about a specific thing it takes away your attention and you birth commune with that particular thing. The moment you shift your focus from Christ to spiritual growth, you will go all your way out to find ways to grow. You will have sleepless nights praying and memorizing scriptures. Even demons are spiritual. God is not about that, but He is about communion – us receiving His fullness.

 

 

When Jesus stood, God was pleased but the Pharisees saw blasphemy. Paul wrote to the Romans making them aware that they are the temple of the Holy Spirit. But how can you be a temple of the Holy Spirit whilst He is not pleased with you? He can come and dwell but remain dormant. When you see people coming and leaving, do you think that the Holy Spirit continues to be active the moment they live the presence of God? Be careful not to neglect the desire of God – do not find yourself serving neglecting the communion with the Lord.

 

 

The disciples went out and cast demons and they came back happy, Jesus told them that they ought to be happy that their names were written in the book of life not that they cast demons. In the next incidents the disciples failed to cast out a demon and Jesus told them that it required fasting and prayer. But did Jesus draw out of them and went to pray and fast? This was a mystery about having communion with the Lord.

 

 

Yes, we ought to reach a point where demons are able to submit to us because of the fullness of God is in us. We read about demons that knew Paul, it was no mistake that the demons mentioned Paul because he carried the fullness of Christ. Jesus Christ was a model to show us how to live in the world – check His steps and follow. The believers in the book of [Acts] were given the name Christians because the people saw how similar their steps were compared to that of Christ. Many are called Christians today but there is no resemblance of Christ’ character.

 

 

[Acts 2:42], “They were continually and faithfully devoting themselves to the instruction of the apostles, and to fellowship, to eating meals together and to prayers.” Fellowship does not allow another brother to lack in your midst; it causes his concerns to become your concerns. Would Christians do this today? This shows how selfish Christians are today because minds are not renewed. God is deliberate about us; hence Jesus still intercedes for us even today. This is how we ought to live as Christians. We can only receive immortality and be blessed the moment we carry the mind of God.

 

 

Do you think God would grant people eternal life so that they can remain sinners forever? No! Look at the prodigal son’s brother, his heart was exposed when his little brother came back home. It exposed what he was there for, absolutely not for commune but served with intentions. If he had a relationship with the father, he would have known form the beginning that what belonged to the father was his. This shows us the importance of a relationship with the Father.

 

 

We still cry for things that are already there; because of lack of commune with God. A delay does not mean that the particular thing is not there. If you are familiar with the thoughts of God, you will understand the fixed date of the Father. The sons of Issachar knew how to interpret the seasons and times but it did not mean that they knew the fixed date of the Father.

 

 

A gift can still reveal but only your character will cause you to be part of the revealed. Abraham partook from the Day of the Lord because of his character. The sons of Issachar knew the seasons of the Lord but did they partake from the seasons? They were just gifted but Abraham had the revelation without a gift [revealing times and seasons]. Do you see how communion can take you far? It reveals things that should be revealed to prophets but it is given to you even though you are just a normal saint.

 

 

What makes a person a prophet? It is not the mere calling of names and word of knowledge but it is the ability to understand the thoughts of God. The Spirit of God exposes the thoughts of God to you and you will know what to do. A prophet is a person of direction, who knows his purposes; what to do and what not to do – this is you as a Christian. If you know the thoughts of God you are a prophet. We can never be vagabonds because we have direction; we know our Father and what we need to do.

 

 

Party spirits are born inside the church because people have no direction and are blown by every wind. Many people are led but is it God? We understand that you are called but is it God leading you? It should only be the Word that keeps you, everything will be moved but the Word will remain. You become an overflowing river that people drink from because you have the establishment of the Word within you. To others, God is unable to send them because He knows that people will be delayed because of them.

 

 

[Philippians 2:1-5], “Therefore if there is any encouragement and comfort in Christ [as there certainly is in abundance], if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship [that we share] in the Spirit, if [there is] any [great depth of] affection and compassion, ² make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same ^[a]love [toward one another], knit together in spirit, intent on one purpose [and living a life that reflects your faith and spreads the gospel—the good news regarding salvation through faith in Christ]. ³ Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit [through factional motives, or strife], but with [an attitude of] humility [being neither arrogant nor self-righteous], regard others as more important than yourselves. ⁴ Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.”

 

 

You can never stop being selfish if you do not have the same attitude of Christ. We are inconsiderate because our thoughts are not aligned to that of Christ. Therefore, we have to acquire the same attitude of that of Christ. Ask yourself this: “Can I do what Christ does? Are my thoughts like that of Christ’?” Selah.

 

 

If you are mistaken, go and apologize. You are waiting for the bigger person? Christ is the bigger Being. People are able to serve with grudges, you will prophesy but there will be no change. Let us not beat the bush around this, there has to be results in our lives. But how can we see results if our minds are hostile to the Lord?

 

 

We need pure thoughts for results to be birthed. Inasmuch, Jesus was shocked about the faith of the Centurion man, how about He becomes shocked about our thoughts? We will have it easy as Christians if we acquire quality thoughts. The implementation of the Word does not just come but there should be the renewal of our minds.

 

 

The moment you receive His Word, you receive Spirit and Life; for the Word that He speaks is Spirit and Life. People are not familiar of what God has given them because they are not one with the thoughts of God just like the brother of the prodigal son.

 

LET HE THAT HATH AN EAR LISTEN TO WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO THE CHURCH

YESHUA; A CITY ON A HILL, THE LIGHT THAT CANNOT BE HIDDEN!!!
