The Fight Inside Your Thinking Part 2 | Pastor Jeno Orchard CR

The Fight Inside Your Thinking Part 2 Principle 2: Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover. "Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4 (TEV) Step 2: We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. "For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose." Philippians 2:13 (NIV) 4.     Don't just think – do, and don't just do – think. a.  We need both in our lives.  I compare "think – do, do – think" living to Applied Learning.  Applied Learning is the hands-on, experiential approach to education that emphasizes learning by doing.  We can memorize facts, and study the Bible, but without applying thinking to real-world problems and scenarios then we have missed the point. b.  There are five levels to "think – do, do – think." (1) What you know; (2) how you see things; (3) what you believe; (4) who you are; and (5) what you can do.          i.  We must love knowledge and we must teach others to love knowledge. 5.  Be ye doers of the Word. a.  You only believe the parts of the Bible that you do.  We all need to go and do those things that the Spirit of God has convicted us to do.              i.  What you believe determines how you behave - faith moves, it doesn't just listen. 6.  Trust God to expand your thinking. a.  Everything in life begins with a dream.  Someone has to imagine something before it can become reality.  Become a great Godly dreamer and help your purpose come to life for the glory of God.               i.  God plants our dreams and fatih brings them to life. Here is an acrostic for THINK: b.  T – Test every thought. c.   H – Helmet your head. d.  I – Imagine great thoughts. e.  N – Nourish a godly mind. f.   K – Keep on learning.
