Hi Pastor John<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are 51 verses in our translation with the word “thoughts<\/strong>” in it.\u00a0 Some of them read like a book.\u00a0 At least, to my heart they did.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro. 16:3\u00a0Commit your works to Jehovah, and they will direct your\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

( This is my favorite verse!))<\/span><\/p>\n

Isa. 55:8\u00a0\u201cFor my\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0are not your\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>, and your ways are not my ways,\u201d says Jehovah.<\/span><\/p>\n

Isa. 55:9\u00a0\u201cAs the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0than your\u00a0thoughts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/span><\/p>\n

1Ch. 29:18\u00a0O Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel our fathers, preserve this forever, the intention of the\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0of your people, and establish their heart with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Psa. 33:11\u00a0The counsel of Jehovah will stand forever, the\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0of His heart to all generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amen!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Psa. 40:5\u00a0Many are your wonders which you have done and your\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0toward 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Psa. 92:5\u00a0How great are your works, O Jehovah! Your\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0are exceedingly deep!<\/span><\/p>\n

Psa. 94:11\u00a0Jehovah knows the\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0of man, that they are vanity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Psa. 94:19\u00a0In the multitude of my troubled\u00a0thoughts\u00a0<\/strong>within me, your consolations delight my soul.<\/span><\/p>\n

Psa. 139:17\u00a0How precious to me are your\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>, O God! How great is the sum of them!<\/span><\/p>\n

Psa. 139:23\u00a0Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>,<\/span><\/p>\n

Psa. 146:4\u00a0When his breath leaves, he returns to the ground. On that day, his\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0perish.<\/span><\/p>\n

( This one struck me. Man’s thoughts<\/strong> will die with him and only God’s thoughts<\/strong> will remain)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro. 15:26\u00a0The schemes of a wicked man are an abomination to Jehovah, but the pure have pleasant\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jer. 29:11\u00a0For I know the\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0that I think toward you, says Jehovah:\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jer. 6:19\u00a0Hear, O earth! Behold, I will bring evil on this people, the fruit of their\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>, because they have not attended to my words, and they have rejected my law.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dan. 2:30\u00a0But 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\u00a0thoughts\u00a0<\/strong>of your heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

( made me think of what was said last night by Allison about trials being used to show us our hearts)<\/span><\/p>\n

Mic. 4:12\u00a0But they do not know Jehovah\u2019s\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>, and they do not understand His purpose, that He has gathered them like a sheaf to the threshing floor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luke. 2:35 a sword shall pierce even your own soul! \u2013 so that the thoughts<\/strong> of many hearts may be revealed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Rom. 2:15\u00a0who show the work of the law to be written on their hearts, their conscience bearing them witness, and all the while their\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0either accusing or defending them<\/span><\/p>\n

Whew!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1Co. 3:20\u00a0And again, \u201cThe Lord knows the\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0of the wise, that they are vain.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

2Co. 11:3\u00a0But I fear, lest, as the serpent led Eve astray by his craftiness, so your\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0likewise be led astray from the simplicity that is in Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 4:12\u00a0For 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\u00a0thoughts<\/strong>\u00a0and intents of the heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Love,<\/span><\/p>\n

Beth<\/span><\/p>\n
