Now we've all began many an answer to someones question by the above title. I don't think that what I'm doing hurts anyone else. I don't think that there is anything wrong with what I'm doing.I don't think that Gods Word means that we have to be so commited to obeying all of what the Bible says.
Some who may read this may be thinking and going along with the statements above, after all we are only human. (I don't think...) would be more of a true saying that most of us speak when we say what we don't think. We don't think! God has called us to know Him! God has called us not to think what we do and say is alright but to be guided into all truth! God doesn't want us to think that we are saved but to know that we have passed from death unto life! Jesus said: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life! No man comes to the Father but by Me! (That means you and everybody born into this world!)
Yes! God does want us to think! But not in the context that we often speak what we think. Here's a good mind renewer! Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
We would do ourselves a great help and less grief to others if we choose to delete "I don't think that" from our vocabulary. Besides, if we were to take Philippians 4:8 at face-value and put it into practice in our daily living, we would find that we would know more and have less time to think about what we don't think that.
If your are confused by this message, just meditate on Philippians 4:8 and put it to practice in your life and you will know and have less time to say "I don't think that"
Aren't you glad that God didn't think that! GOD KNOWS ALWAYS! Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Child of God, God knows you!
Now, you and I can try to think our way through this life and think about what we can get by with that God won't cast us away! Or we can obey the Holy Spirit and allow God to conform us to the image of His Son!
God will have a people that will love Him and be conformed to Jesus Christ!
We should never have to even ask, "What would Jesus do?" No! If we will abide in Christ and Christ in us, nothing is too hard for God to bring us through to conform us to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ! We would know and not think.
GOD WE CRY OUT FOR YOUR HANDS TO BE PLACED UPON YOUR CHURCH TO MANIFEST CHRIST TO THIS WORLD!
NO MORE THINKING, BUT ONLY TO KNOW CHRIST IN THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERING. I WANT TO KNOW YOU MORE, LORD.
