We have to learn how to step out of our soul and into our spirit, so that the life of Jesus can be manifested in our lives. Otherwise our thinking is going to be on a human level of negativity which will block the flow of God’s life through us.
In order to manifest our spirit, we have to bring our mind under its control. We have to be continually renewed in the spirit of our mind-Eph 4:23.
When our spirit is active and the life of God is flowing into it, revelation is coming into our minds and we are enabled to think in line with God’s will for our lives.
The life of God flows out of heaven into our spirit, enlightening it so that we are receiving revelation, then it must flow into our mind, so that we can bring every thought into submission to the mind of Christ.
We have to learn how to think like God thinks, once he reveals to us the way that he thinks about things, then we can bring every thought into the obedience of Christ which literally transforms us.
2Corinthians 10: 4for the weapons of our warfare are not human but mighty in God’s sight, resulting in the demolition of fortresses, demolishing reasonings and every haughty mental elevation which lifts itself up against the experiential knowledge of God, and leading captive every thought into the obedience to the Christ, and being in readiness to discipline every careless, apathetic hearing of and disobedience to the Word when your obedience shall be fulfilled. (WuestNT)
When we experience the presence of God through the revelation gate in our spirit opening up, in the flow of God’s thoughts we experience his nature. We are experiencing God in the flow of his thoughts and feelings, which are on a higher level than the human level. The human level is the soul-level.
When we are filled with the Spirit, we become aware of the presence of God and we are renewed in the spirit of our mind and our thinking is on a whole different level where we are experiencing God in our thoughts and feelings. We are in the spirit-realm, the dimension of the kingdom, where we experience righteousness, joy, and peace in the Holy Spirit.
The problem is until we learn how to walk with God, one moment we are on the mountain, the next we are in the valley. The situations and circumstances of life when contrary to us pull us out of the spirit-level back down to the soul-level, where the enemy has access to us.
We must end the practice of entertaining bad thoughts by taking responsibility for our current thinking. Our mind must cease to be the battleground of the enemy, or his playground for fulfilling the lusts of the flesh.
When we learn how to come under the influence of God in our thinking, then our mind becomes the garden of our heart. A place we can go to when we learn how to meditate upon the word of God.
The mind of Christ is a beautiful place to live, it is a fertile garden where his wisdom and insight flows in, and all our thoughts are the seeds that are planted there and they begin to grow as we meditate and think deeply upon pictures that the word of God releases there.
We must learn how God thinks about us. We have two relationships with him, one now in the present and one in our future. He sees who we are becoming in him; therefore, he enjoys our struggles, because we are learning how to walk with him and, His Spirit is leading us into all the truth producing freedom.
We are beginning to think like he does. When all our thinking has brought us to a bad place in life, he is right there with another thought that will begin to transform our life as it becomes our mind set.
Our present weakness must become our strongest asset through the sense of intuition and revelation in our spirit opening, so His strength and creativity can flow in.
We learn how to dream in God with creative thinking as he reveals who we are becoming and the destiny we are to walk in. The struggles that we overcome, we can then minister that victory to other so that they too can become over- comers.
The spiritual thoughts we receive through the Holy Spirit become the steppingstones to do the opposite of what our natural mind has been programmed to think.
We are learning to move in the opposite spirit to all negative thinking that blocks us from experiencing the Lord.
We must learn the art of taking thoughts captive. When negative thinking is coming into our minds, we ask ourselves what the word teaches us to think concerning this. We then begin to learn how to intuitively respond to situations that use to baffle us, so that we overcome them.
We learn to take advantage of every circumstance and situation to accelerate our growth in God. When we experience negative thinking, it is an opportunity for God to cleanse our thoughts and renew our thinking into a place of obedience and faith. We are learning how to develop the mind of the Lord.
Every time a negative thought comes, when we recognize it through the leading of the Holy Spirit, we release the good thought at that moment which leads us to obedience. We are bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
When an anxious thought comes to us, we turn it into a thought that expresses trust, and we speak it out. We pray out our trust in God. We confess the word of God over our lives.
If a lustful thought comes, we turn it into a prayer for purity. Father, I thank you for your love flowing through my spirit, so that I think about a person the way you think about them. I delight myself in you so I don’t covet after things, but you give me the desires of my heart that I might be a steward over them for your glory.
We Turn thoughts of mistrust and suspicion about someone into a prayer for their blessing instead, we turn a resentful thought about someone into a blessing over their life.
If thoughts of poverty enter our thinking, we begin praising the lord for his abundance and willingness to supply, because he provides for the work that he establishes us to do.
We turn a fearful thought into thanksgiving and praise for the perfect love of God flowing into our spirit which casts out all fear.
We think the opposite of what the enemy would want us to think. We do the opposite of what the enemy would want us to do. We become the opposite of what the enemy wants us to be. The enemy in turn accelerates our growth because he triggers us into moving deeper into God.
We learn how to move in the opposite spirit of what is coming against us. When we learn how to do this we are cooperating with the Holy Spirit in our growth with God.
Moving with God is one of the best ways of being filled with the Spirit; we are participating in his nature as we are obeying him. Our obedience is a participation in the divine nature. We are stepping out in faith to do what the Holy Spirit is leading us to do, and it becomes a living work, in which he blesses us as we feel him moving through us.
As we get to know the Holy Spirit by walking with him, we get to know his personality, and we start feeling love for God. He is an amazing person to get to know, and we begin to appreciate him. We love God because we experience his love for us as he is teaching us to become like him. Our life starts to become exciting because we are walking out our destiny, God’s plan for our lives.
