Aligning Our Thoughts With God's

This morning's post comes from a dream God gave me back in 2007. I record my dreams and visions, especially the ones I believe the LORD gives me. This particular dream illustrates how we need to align our thoughts for healing with those of God. I also believe God is causing this particular dream of mine to be revisited today - now! I hope His message blesses you today!

In my dream, God showed me three examples of how we can receive His healing. I think it is more than just coincidence that this dream comes after a very frustrating difficulty I’ve had over the past week trying to repair my tractor. My difficulty had to do with me trying to force an axle shaft back into alignment with some very important rear-wheel gears. As long as I tried to do it alone not asking for help no matter how hard I tried to force the shaft to go in I failed. I had tried for the past 3-4 days to make this repair. Without fixing the problem I wasn’t going anywhere with the tractor. When I finally gave up and asked my wife Sally to help me, the shaft slid into place amazingly easy without any effort!

The Three Examples God Gave Me:

First example: You try to open a combination lock; you twist the knob with the numbers on it back and forth pulling on the lock. You desperately want to open this lock, but it won’t open. When you ask for the correct numbers combination and slowing turn to align the tumblers of the lock amazingly this impossible lock opens! 

Second example: You’re in a big hurry, you’re tired, you’re trying to open the front door of your home, its dark, you put your key in the lock and frantically try to unlock the door but, the key doesn’t seem to fit. It’s the right key but the lock won’t open. You slow down and carefully push the key in and all the little tumblers in the lock align and the door opens!

Third example: You and I are standing here and I am holding up a sheet of cardboard with a small hole in it, I show you I have a powerful flashlight which is turned on and you want to see the light shine through the hole in the cardboard. You can’t really see my flashlight because I am holding it behind my sheet of cardboard, but you tell me how to move my flashlight around so you can see my light. You tell me to move it to the left and down then to move it up and to the right. You can’t see the beam of my light because you’re not holding the source. When you stop and allow me to point my light through the hole toward you, you are temporarily blinded by my powerful light!

Antidote: When we stop trying to do-everything-for-ourselves, whether it be to accomplish some difficult task or to receive our healing, when we stop and pray asking God to help us we see much better results.

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
