absurd certain dealt destroy face ignoring increase mind pray second seen
Certain things can only be dealt with by ignoring them; if you face them you increase their power. It is absurd to say, Pray about them; when once a thing is seen to be wrong, don't pray about it, it fixes the mind on it; never for a second brood on it, destroy it by neglect.
shoes perspective mind
Intercession is about putting ourselves in other’s shoes or having sympathy with others. But intercessions are about having the mind of God and see things through His perspective
prayer mean mind
Worship and intercession must go together, the one is impossible without the other. Intercession means that we rouse ourselves up to get the mind of Christ about the one for whom we pray.
heaven soul mind
You can never argue anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot argue anyone anywhere. The only result of arguing is to prove to your own mind that you are right and the other fellow wrong. You cannot argue for truth; but immediately Incarnate Truth is presented, a want awakens in the soul which only God can meet.
mean mind praying
Intercession means raising ourselves up to the point of getting the mind of Christ regarding the person for whom we are praying.
mind liberty proof
Reflected peace is the proof that you are right with God because you are at liberty to turn your mind to Him.
christian mind spirit
All Christians have the Spirit of Christ, but not all Christians have the mind of Christ.
prayer mind answers
God does not exist to answer our prayers, but by our prayers we come to discern the mind of God.
sight people mind
When we lose sight of God we become hard and dogmatic. We hurl our own petitions at God's throne and dictate to Him as to what we wish Him to do. We do not worship God, nor do we seek to form the mind of Christ. If we are hard towards God, we will become hard towards other people.
prayer mind answers
We impoverish God in our minds when we say there must be answers to our prayers on the material plane; the biggest answers to our prayers are in the realm of the unseen.
want way responsible
We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.
believe order design
Never believe that the so-called random events of life are anything less than God’s appointed order. Be ready to discover His divine designs anywhere and everywhere.
hurt may
Never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God. For you to be free of it, God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be.
not-good-enough enemy faith-in-god
The great enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but the good which is not good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best.
