Practicing a Higher Way of Thinking
In this mental health activity I am teaching you steps to help you to move in to God's presence. This isn't a magic formula. It's just an idea to try to help you.
Let's take some time to practice setting our minds on things above like we are taught in Colossians 3:2.
Worship and Prayer partnered together are two of the most powerful ways to have an encounter with God.
"God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24
According to Ellicott's Commentary God is spirit, meaning he is without a body. True worship must be spiritual.
He is looking for a heart that is seeking after him, recognizing he is pure and holy. Knowing he has what we need.
Listen to Open the Scroll.
Be intentional about trying to connect your spirit with God.
Take a few moments to relax and breath. Try to connect with his love and peace.
Pay attention to little ways that you might feel him.
Transform the Mind
What do you need to be set free from?
Ask Holy Spirit to bring to mind things that are weighing on you or causing a spin in your life.
Repentance can help you stop the sin. Is there something you need to hand over to Jesus.
Pair scripture and God's presence to step into the free you need. Isaiah 61 was a prophecy about Jesus and the his mission to set us free. As you read the passage ask God to help you believe Jesus can set you free.
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.
Arise & Shine
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you." Isaiah 60:1 ESV
Any encounter will deepen your character and relationship with with the Father.
What is God saying to you?
God what are you doing?
Reflection: Does it line up with the character and nature of God?
