Thinking Higher Thoughts - Part 5 - By Pat Stanton


God has allowed me to pray a healing prayer of peace for the hearts and minds of His people. I have witnessed the healings of so many people during the past 41 years of personal ministry. I am absolutely thrilled to see the light of life come back into a person's eyes, and I rejoice as I see a new glow of hope fill a mother's face. I really get excited as I see a load of guilt and fear leave a person's mind, and an "ash heap" become something beautiful.

 

God wants to sanctify our minds. This actually means that He wants to purify and to put His holiness within our thought life. God made our minds so powerful that we are able to think into existence what we are and have. Every waking moment, we are talking to ourselves by thoughts. We need to be careful about what we are telling ourselves because we will believe what we are hearing.

 

We must learn to think properly if we are to maintain a life of daily peace. It is entirely possible to live in peace every day if we are controlling our thoughts and actions from the heart.

 

We were created with the potential to think as Christ thinks. Philippians 2:5, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." 1 Corinthians 2:16, "But we do have the mind of Christ."
