Hi Pastor John
I loved what was said last night. I have been chewing on something for days now and last nights testimonies and what you said about the anointing we have leading us and our thoughts goes perfectly with it.
There are 51 verses in our translation with the word “thoughts” in it. Some of them read like a book. At least, to my heart they did.
Pro. 16:3 Commit your works to Jehovah, and they will direct your thoughts.
( This is my favorite verse!))
Isa. 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says Jehovah.
Isa. 55:9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Amen!
1Ch. 29:18 O Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel our fathers, preserve this forever, the intention of the thoughts of your people, and establish their heart with you.
Psa. 33:11 The counsel of Jehovah will stand forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.
Amen!
Psa. 40:5 Many are your wonders which you have done and your thoughts toward us, O Jehovah my God; there is none to compare with you. Let me declare it! Oh, let me say it! They are more than can be counted.
Psa. 92:5 How great are your works, O Jehovah! Your thoughts are exceedingly deep!
Psa. 94:11 Jehovah knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Psa. 94:19 In the multitude of my troubled thoughts within me, your consolations delight my soul.
Psa. 139:17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How great is the sum of them!
Psa. 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts,
Psa. 146:4 When his breath leaves, he returns to the ground. On that day, his thoughts perish.
( This one struck me. Man’s thoughts will die with him and only God’s thoughts will remain)
Pro. 15:26 The schemes of a wicked man are an abomination to Jehovah, but the pure have pleasant thoughts.
Jer. 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Jehovah: thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jer. 6:19 Hear, O earth! Behold, I will bring evil on this people, the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not attended to my words, and they have rejected my law.
Dan. 2:30 But as for me, this mystery was not revealed to me because I have more wisdom than all the living, but so that the interpretation may be made known to the King, and so, you might know the thoughts of your heart.
( made me think of what was said last night by Allison about trials being used to show us our hearts)
Mic. 4:12 But they do not know Jehovah’s thoughts, and they do not understand His purpose, that He has gathered them like a sheaf to the threshing floor.
Luke. 2:35 a sword shall pierce even your own soul! – so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
Rom. 2:15 who show the work of the law to be written on their hearts, their conscience bearing them witness, and all the while their thoughts either accusing or defending them
Whew!
1Co. 3:20 And again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.”
2Co. 11:3 But I fear, lest, as the serpent led Eve astray by his craftiness, so your thoughts likewise be led astray from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is alive, and powerful, and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow, and it is able to judge the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Love,
Beth
