DISCERNING THE THOUGHTS OF GOD:
I promise you that I am giving you fuel that belongs to you from God Almighty.


It is access and permission and direction to begin, all the more, to discern His thoughts for you and about you, and through you and to you... that are your map, your path, your light, your fuel, your food... To CHOOSE to think His thoughts that are available to you in every present second is to choose the Life that He has set before you this day. 
There are thoughts that are from the source of Life and thoughts that are from the source of Death... choose, God says, whom you will serve.
The results will be manifested in your life.  He says, ‘I came to give you Life, and Life more abundantly.'  That Abundant Life is available in THE MIND OF CHRIST, which is a bank without shortage of wisdom, direction, supernatural power, hope, peace, joy... kindness, gentleness, meekness... the ability to suffer long, and not give up.
My Darling...
Yes, you are divine, but you are also still human.  Your humanity is not defectiveness, but it is process, the tunnel and the cocoon for the transformation process of the spirit to woo and win and convert the soul that you may be whole and fulfill your potential and fly... as you were designed... to live... butterfly.
You are spirit, but you also have a soul that has not been entirely bathed, washed, transformed and perfected.  The soul is in the process.  The spirit is perfected and overcoming the carnal, natural, negative, human way of identifying.   Your humanity humiliates you, your spirituality humbles you in the most awesome, forgiving, loving, unselfish, supportive, all-inclusive and empowering, constructive, way.

Think only thoughts of life.  Is this thought helpful?  Is it from God?  Is it anointed?  Does it empower you to move and progress into more wonderful versions of your self from moment to moment?

 


Does it inspire you?  Is the thought loving?  Are you thinking the best of a person?  Are you thinking the best of yourself?  Love chooses to believe the best of everyone and thinks on the good report, not the worse case scenario.  Are your thoughts directed and choosing to TRUST IN GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART?

Are your thoughts prayerful? Are you putting your requests and needs into words and actually saying them and turning them over to God?   Are you thankful?  Are you praising God with your thoughts?  Are you counting your blessings?  Are you seeing the half of the glass that is full?  Are you meditating on scripture... which is God's word?  Are you yielding your self over to the nature of God?  Are you counting on His righteousness... or your own (filthy rags)?  Are you consciously and deliberately praying for God's will, NOT YOUR OWN WILL, to be done in every situation? 

If you are thinking this way, there is room for nothing else.  You are keeping a clean house if you are choosing and meditating on and dwelling on these thoughts.  His thoughts are in His Words.  We can abide in His Word... we can live and rest and move and find our very being in His Words that are from His thoughts.  How precious to me, are your thoughts, Oh God... so high, so wide, so deep... How precious to me!

John 15:7-8
7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will* ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.                     

1 Peter 1:22-23
The Enduring Word 22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit* in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,
23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever,* NKJV

1 John 2:14
Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one. NKJV

John 8:31-32
"If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
NKJV

John 6:63
63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. NKJV


Maybe you ought to write it out, just to be sure you are praying through, putting your matters into words called prayers and giving them over and letting them go to God... asking, knocking and seeking for His thoughts for you, and then thinking on them, meditate on them, write them down, act on them...  Thereby choosing Life through THE MIND OF CHRIST.

Remember...


If your thinking makes you feel bad, causes shame, guilt, fear or condemnation... depression; if it is negative and critical... if it is resentful or full of self-pity and complaints or murmuring... if it is depressing or causes anxiety, the thoughts are not of God and are not from THE MIND OF CHRIST.  Those thoughts are not God's will for you.  Those thoughts are nothing but temptation to snuff you out and destroy you and get you to become paralyzed and helpless against your real enemies.

Even when it is God, confronting something in your life that is off or that He is correcting, those thoughts come as welcoming information that brings healing and deliverance and relief from slavery, from bondage, from ignorance and darkness.  The thoughts of The Holy Spirit that deal with what needs to change come as conviction, not as condemnation.  Conviction means that we do know that God has put His finger on something He wants us to address and deal with and as we are willing to hear His voice, He will give us the power and the will and the spirit of repentance that we need to make the choices that are best for our selves and others... that will bring us true happiness and peace, rather than instant pleasure for long term pain. 

We need stop being deceived, that God brings pain and evil brings pleasure.  That is a lie!  ‘at His right hand are pleasures forever more'... That would be short term pain and long term pleasure.  ‘Delight yourself in Him and He will give you the desires of your heart.'  God teach us that You are Delightful to us, and not destructive.  You know what satisfies us...

Psalms 17:15
15 As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness. NKJV

Let the thoughts of God guide you today, all day long, and tomorrow, also.  They will be full of comfort and encouragement and patience for you... and hope.

Our God is a good God... ALL THE TIME.

YOU NEED NO APPOINTMENT... HE IS AVAILABLE WITH HIS THOUGHTS THAT ARE YOUR ANSWERS TO PRAYER AND THE RESPONSE OF YOUR CRY FOR HELP AND THESE THOUGHTS ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU RIGHT NOW.
