Think Like Jesus

I woke up in the middle of the night, heart pounding, mind racing, filled with anxiety—and I heard “You’re thinking like Margot, not like Jesus. You need to think like Jesus—Margot is dead.”

I sat straight up…WHAT??

Then I remembered. I was crucified, buried and raised up together with Him! I am one Spirit with Him, seated in Him in heavenly places! [Romans 6:6, Galatians 2:20, Ephesians 2:4-7, Colossians 2:12]

And I have the mind of Christ! [1 Corinthians 2:16]

So, how does Jesus think?
He thinks that all things are possible to him who believes. [Mark 9:23]

He thinks that, if we ask the Father anything in His name, He will do it. [John 14:13,14]

He thinks that all things belong to us, and we belong to Him, and He belongs to God. [1 Corinthians 3:21-23]

He thinks that, when you speak to mountains, trees, wind, money, bodies, etc, they will obey you. [Mark 11:22-24; all 4 gospels and the whole book of Proverbs]

He thinks that the Father loves us as much as He loves Him, that He has given us His glory—the glory that the Father gave Him! [John 17:22,23]

He thinks that we're one Spirit with Him. [1 Corinthians 6:17]

He thinks that, as He is—now, so am I in this world…[1 John 4:17]

He thinks that every promise is YES in Him, and our AMEN—so be it—to the glory of God though us! [2 Corinthians 1:20]

These are all scriptures! This is the mind of Christ! And I was crucified, buried, raised up and seated in heavenly places with Him. And He and the Father dwell in me by the Holy Spirit!

He is The Word, and I am the Word multiplied…He thinks the Word is true, and so should I. [Acts 6:7, Acts 12:24, Acts 19:20]

So now, when I start to worry or fret, I remind myself that I’m thinking like a dead person...and I tell myself to think like Jesus!

Hallelujah!

Yad

The Hebrew word yad is translated several ways: hand, power, strength...when you research how it is used in the Old Testament, it is obvious that it is the powerful, strong hand which accomplishes things in the earth.

The power [yad=hand] of life and death is in the tongue [Proverbs 18:21], which could alternately be translated ‘Death and life is in the hand of the tongue…’

The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand [yad=power] of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes. [Proverbs 21:1]

Psalm 149:6-9 says 'Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand [yad=power], to execute vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron, to execute on them the judgment written; this is an honor for all His godly ones." It is an honor to use our swords to execute judgements already written!

The power of the tongue is the same word used to describe God’s hand, which turns king’s hearts! It’s used in many places to describe the ‘hand’ of the enemy—his power to take or keep captive.

In Isaiah 50:2, God asks “Is My hand [yad] so short that it cannot ransom, or have I no power to deliver?” He ransoms, delivers, with His yad …

How did God create the world? With physical hands? No, with His mouth—He used the ‘hand of his mouth!’ Now we know that all things were made through and by Jesus, Who is the Word of God, coming out of His mouth. So Jesus is the yad of God’s tongue! And we are the Word multiplied, His Body, or hand, in the earth!

Yad is a working hand, active hand, powerful hand, warrior hand…the deed [or work] done. God’s hand is synonymous with His power…so is our tongue! Hallelujah!
