Subject: God created with THE SPIRIT OF HIS MOUTH.......... SO DO WE!!!
AS WE THINK......So WE ARE! God created with the spirit of His mouth! So do we! We defile ourselves by what comes out of our mouth!
Submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee. We are all being influenced by God or the devil in “the spirit of our mind.” The more one speaks defiling things, the more one attracts demonic activity into his life. That’s why we have to cast down principalities, powers, rulers of darkness in high places, imaginations that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. This is OUR RESPONSIBILITY not God’s. We choose who we submit to in our thoughts.
And the reason things come out of our mouth that shouldn't is because we are not obeying Jesus' command to "take our thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ."
On that day when God, by Jesus Christ will judge men in regard to the things which they conceal (their hidden thoughts). Romans 2:16 amp. Vs.22 (Are you unchaste in your thoughts)? Looking at the word chaste, we should ask ourselves, “am I celibate, clean, immaculate, innocent, proper, pure, unblemished, unsullied, virtuous, virginal, in my thoughts?” Am I ordering my thoughts aright?? Do we really believe the Lord knows our works and our thoughts? (Ps.94:11 139:2'Isa.66:18 I Cor.3:20 Ps.139:3
“You understand my thought afar off. But Jesus knowing (seeing) their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil and harbor malice in your hearts?" Curse not the King, not even in your thoughts (Ecc.10:20) For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, (secret thoughts) whether it be good or evil. Let the
wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts.-and let him return to the Lord ... My thoughts are not your thoughts ... My thoughts are
higher than your thoughts (Is.55:7-9)
Are we sinning against God, or against our brother in our thoughts? 0 Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved! How long shall your iniquitous and grossly offensive thoughts lodge within you? Jer-4:141
Deliver those who are led away to death, and spare not to redeem those who are held to be slain. If you say "behold I did not know it, then know it is God who searches the thought of the heart, and He who keeps your soul knows it, and shall render to every man
according to his works? (Prv. 24:11-12) This states clearly God is going to reward us one day for what we do about what we think about others, this should change your life!
For the tree is known and recognized and judged by its fruit, For out of the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaks. The good man from his inner good
treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things, but I tell you on the day of judgment,
men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative, non-working) word they speak. For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by
your words you will be condemned and sentenced. (Matt.12:36). Do you even realize how many Christians don’t believe this?? Not really??? What I have
come to learn about myself is: whatever thoughts I allow or disallow, go, into the treasure chest of my heart, and it is from this treasure chest that
I speak! Jesus said it and it’s true! Ps.7:9 (amp.) For you, who try the hearts and emotions, and thinking powers, are a righteous God. Rev.2:23 amp ... I am He who searches minds, (the thoughts, feelings, and purposes, and the inmost hearts, and I will give to each of you the reward for what you have done, as your work
deserves! Jer-17:9-10 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly perverse and corrupt and severely, mortally sick! Who can know it
(perceive, understand, be acquainted with his own heart and mind? I the Lord search the mind, I try the heart, even to give to every man according to his
ways and according to the fruit of his doings”. I have to ask my- self sincerely, Am I really living to lay down my life for my brother? Do I
guard and protect myself through not Loving my brother with all my heart, all my mind, and, all my strength, because of how it might affect me? Am I
really allowing God to speak to me about my private thoughts towards my brother so I and do what is right on his behalf?
Jesus said ... if we love him, we will keep His commandments! “I give you a new commandment that you should love one another! Whoever says he is in the light and yet lightly esteems his brother is in darkness until now. Whoever loves his brother-abides and lives in the light, there is no occasion for stumbling or cause for err or sin”. We know we have passed from death unto life, because- we-love our brother! Philp.2:2-5 complete my joy by being in one accord and one love and one soul and one mind. Do nothing through strife or vainglory, but in humility let every one regard his neighbor better than himself! Let no one be mindful only of his
own things, but let everyone be mindful of the things of his neighbor also! Let this same attitude and purpose and humble mind be in you who are in
Christ Jesus: (let him be your example in humility)! ....
For what man knows the mind (thoughts) of man, except the spirit of man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the mind (thoughts) of God, except the
spirit of God. I Cor. 2- 11 vs-14 ... but the natural, non-spiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts, teachings and
revelations of the spirit of God, for they are meaningless nonsense to him: he is incapable of knowing them, because they are spiritually discerned and
estimated and appreciated! But the spiritual man tries, examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things.
For who has known or understood the mind, the counsels and purposes of the Lord, so as to guide and instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ and do hold the
thoughts, feelings and purposes of his heart! He lived a life of constantly laying down his life for his brother, the greater purpose, and for the
benefit of God and His Kingdom .... as the perfect example ... that we would be in the world as He was in the world! Do not worry over things, but always
by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, shall
garrison and mount guard over your hearts and kinds in Christ Jesus! Whatever is true, whatever is honest, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is
lovely, whatever is worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of the things (fix your minds on them)! Philp.4:6-8 amp.
Heb.5:11-14 Since you have become dull in your spiritual hearing and sluggish even slothful in achieving spiritual insight! For even though by this time
you ought to be teaching others, you actually need someone to teach you over again the very first principles of God's word. You have come to need milk,
not solid food. For everyone who continues to feed on milk is obviously inexperienced and un- skilled in the doctrine of righteousness (of conformity
to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action), for he is a mere infant (not able to talk-yet)l but solid food. Full grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between good and evil (the law of the Spirit) of God and love ... or the mind of the flesh, which leads to death! God does not want us to be wimps in the spirit of our minds. We need to exercise our senses, develop our mental faculties, practice and train them
to resist the devil. Submit to God .... not the father of lies. We need to be as professionally trained athletes, being renewed in the spirit of our mind!
Eph. .4:23 be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind (having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude). Put on the new nature, created in God's
image, in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore, rejecting all falsity let everyone express the truth with his neighbor, for we are all parts of one
body-and member’s one of another!
We are the ones who must choose which cup we will drink from, which table we will partake of! Lies and accusations, or truth and love. If we in our mind are accusing others and excusing ourselves, we are headed for trouble. Unless we pray, getting revelation and instruction for how we may love and help one another, in the invisible kingdom, we are getting the one we are accusing stuck between our teeth. “They eat up my children as one eats bread and call not upon the Lord.” The bible talks several times about cannibalism. I have to wonder if it’s exposing a spiritual truth more than an actual truth.
People are accusing, “eating” each other rather than speaking to the dead bones so they can live!
Are our thoughts patterned after defending ourselves, or are we allowing the spirit of God (love) to teach us how to wash one another's feet and serve one another? The mind set on the flesh is death; the mind set on the Spirit (of benevolent love and truth) is life and peace!
Let us be careful not to faint in our minds! Heb-12-3 Think of him who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against
himself, so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting -in your minds; for if we suffer with Him, so shall we reign
with Him! For to us it has been granted the privilege, for Christ's sake not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for his sake. You will guard him
and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he commits himself, leans on, and confidently hopes in You! Is.26-3
For God did not give us (but the devil would like to give us) a spirit of fear (timidity, cowardice, craven, cringing, panic), but He has given us a
spirit of power and of love and of calm and well balanced mind and discipline and self-control. 2tim-1:7.' 2 Cor.10:5 For the weapons of our warfare are
not physical, but are mighty before god for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds. Inasmuch as we refute: contradict, disagree, deny, negate,
rebuff, reject, veto, renounce, disagree, object, opposes protest, refuse, scorn, shunt arguments and theories and reasoning’s and every proud and lofty
thing, that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God; and we lead every thought captive to the obedience of Christ! 2cor-10:4-5. 11:3
But now I am fearful, lest that even as the serpent beguiled Eve by his cunning, so your minds may be corrupted and seduced from whole-hearted and sincere and
pure devotion to Christ! So brace up your minds: be sober, circumspect, morally alert set your hope wholly and unchangeably on the grace that is
coming when Jesus is revealed. Live as children of obedience. Pet.1:13 The battlefield is in the mind! You’re called to be a soldier,
its fight or be overcome! Allow the Holy Spirit to direct and control you, for the mind of the flesh with its carnal thoughts and purposes is hostile to
God. Don't cater to the appetites and impulses of the carnal nature. Live according to the Spirit, controlled by the desires of the Spirit, set your
mind and seek those things which gratify the Holy Spirit! Rm-8:5-9 Forsake all human reasoning and thought. Let God’s thoughts become your thoughts.
Hide His word in your heart that you won't be found sinning against Him! Is. 58:13 If you turn away from doing your own pleasure on My Holy day ,not
going your own way or seeking or finding your own pleasure or speaking your own idle words (which we will if we are thinking our own thoughts)! It is
said of the children of Israel that God was not in all their thoughts! Not everyone who says to Him Lord, Lord, will enter into the Kingdom of
Heaven, but those who do the will of God!
As we obey in thought, word, and deed, we can lead others in obedience to God in thought, word and deed! We can speak life with our mouth, not death! The spirit of our mouth can cause the dead bones in others to live! If we lift Jesus up with the spirit of our mouth, we will draw others unto Him. May we not give into obeying lies & lying spirits. Nor use our mouths to speak death! ~Let us become the children of OBEDIENCE~ that we may bear fruit after our own kind (Gen. 1:11-12) The devil wants us to use our mouths to glorify the devil and ourselves…. If we take our thoughts captive we can loose God’s Kingdom on the earth and Glorify Our Father in Heaven!
