Here’s a real life example of what I talked about yesterday, one such situation that took place between my hubby and me a while ago. He said something that could have started a fight, but I stopped, took hold of the thought that immediately came to my mind, surrendered it to God and replaced it with what I felt the Holy Spirit wanted me to say instead, which simply was, “Hunny, there is no need to strap on the boxing gloves and put up your dukes, I am not your enemy.” You could literally feel the atmosphere deflate! As we laughed instead, immediately the whole situation calmed down and peace was restored. See the practicality in this now??? Inside-out living, connecting with God and believing what HE says, capturing every thought and allowing God’s Truth to be our guide, our influence, our power…this IS practical!
This is why we have to start in the spirit, to know who we are, God’s beloved holy children, and let that truth influence our thoughts, which will affect our emotions, etc, etc. Remember to connect with God and bring Him each thought, this is the practical application so that we can control our thoughts, emotions, will, actions and results. If we ignore the inside, the outside will be a mess…sound familiar?
