THINKING AS GOD THINKS
In
Matthew 16:23 Jesus said, “You are a stumbling block to me. You think
as men think, not as God thinks.
Jesus said that when we think like men, we stumble. How we think and
what we think is important. Wrong thinking trips us up. We need a new
way of thinking; we need to think as God thinks.
When you get in agreement with God, then you are thinking the way that
God thinks. You need to understand how God thinks so that you can get in
agreement with him.

God is the God of the possible. Impossible is not found in his
vocabulary, and impossibility doesn’t exist in his universe. Everything
is possible when you think the way God thinks.
God is the source of all good things. All that you are or have
comes directly or indirectly from him. There are no shortages in God’s
kingdom of love. Everything that you need to live an abundant life is
already present and available for those who think as God thinks.
How does God think?
God thinks abundance. Jesus said that he had come so that you might
have life and have it more abundantly. God created the world and
everything in it. What you need is no big deal to God. Supplying your
needs won’t break his back or bankrupt his kingdom. God enjoys giving
you good things. His plan is to fill your cup with blessings until it
runs over.
God thinks possibility. All things are possible when you think the
way God thinks. God is the God of possibility, and there is no limit to
how good your life can become when you think the way God thinks.
God thinks positive. The most positive force in the universe is
God’s love. It changes the way you think and feel making you into a
positive person.
God thinks positive expectations. When you get into agreement with
God, your expectations change. Impossible becomes possible, and
scarcity becomes abundance. God has a powerful positive plan for your
life. God expects good things to happen in your life when you think the
way that He thinks.
God thinks forgiveness. God forgives you for the wrong things that
you have done. He not only wipes the slate clean, He also throws the
slate away.
God thinks freedom for the captives. Jesus came to set the
prisoners free. The chains of lack and limitation fall off when you
think the way God thinks.
God thinks release from oppression. Jesus came to liberate you from
all forms of oppression. Economic, spiritual, chemical, and
psychological dependencies disappear when you think the way God thinks.
God thinks recovery of what has been lost. The blind receive their
sight. What the world destroys and takes away, God recovers and
restores.
God thinks favor. He bestows his blessings on all who get in
agreement with him. He opens the windows of heaven, and blessings fall
all around.
God thinks good news. God has no dark side. He is on our side, and
is in it with us for the long haul. All of God’s thoughts are good
news. When you become silent and listen for God’s voice, you hear his
positive message of love.
You
can trust God. If you do your part, God will do his. When you get in
agreement with him, when you think the way that He thinks, then God
starts working miracles in your life.
God
already knows what you need even before you ask. God wants to give you
good things even more than you want to receive them. But first you must
ask.
Jesus said, “Ask and you will receive.” Asking simply recognizes that
God is the source of all good things, and that He can be trusted to
provide. Outsourcing doesn’t exist in God’s kingdom of love. All of
us need to be reminded that God is our source. God will give you what
you need unless you block him. There are no shortages in God’s kingdom.
If you aren't getting what you need, it's because of lack of
faith, lack of trust, and lack of positive expectations. God is a God
of abundance, and when you get in agreement with him, when you trust him
to supply your needs, when you have positive expectations, then the
windows of heaven open, and blessings fall all around.
