"Frozen Thoughts

¡§FROZEN THOUGHTS¡¨

By Bishop M. Christopher Wilson, Sr

******************************************************

This teaching was inspirited by a teaching I was listening to that I would have to say really stretched me! Yet, this truth can be found and validated with scriptures.

The good thing that I have learned about being stretched is, unlike a rubber band, once the human mind is stretched it can never go back to its constricted dominions; thank God!!

Hebrews 11: 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith is literally the spiritual existence of what you desire to manifest in the natural. The key that we miss is that ¡§there is no faith without thought¡¨. We have people in the church that have been trying to exercise proper faith without first developing proper thinking.

¡§Your level of faith is only as strong as your clarity of thinking about the things of God.¡¨ ¡V Apostle M. Christopher Wilson, Sr

This would make it clear why the Apostle Paul encouraged us by saying ¡§Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus¡¨. By taking the Mind of Christ, we take the thinking pattern, obedience & faith of Christ.

Faith is the substance (spiritual existence) of things hoped for. Wikipedia defines Hope as, an emotional belief (faith) in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances within one’s personal life.

Hope is the mental process by which our thinking is coupled with our desire (faith, belief) for something that we desire to see manifested at a future time.

- Apostle M. Christopher Wilson, Sr

¡§Frozen Thoughts¡¨ (Faith X Thought)

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

So, if the things we see where not created by other things we see, then all material things are nothing more than someone¡¦s ¡§Frozen thoughts¡¨. The things you desire manifest into reality as things. Anything you desire must first exist in your mind. If you can¡¦t see yourself with what you desire you will never have the faith needed to call it out of the spirit realm.

Mathew 9: 21-22 For she said within herself (thinking), If I may but touch his garment (the plan), I shall be whole (desire, belief, faith). 22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole (results of thinking and faith). {Notes in parenthesis added}

Faith Brings Wholeness

By looking into this verse, with the intent to find a deeper understanding, we can see that our faith has the ability to bring wholeness into our life. It comes from God, but it is delivered out of you, not to you!

The verse says, ¡§she (the woman with the issue of blood) said with within herself¡¨. Within her enter dialog this woman coupled her thoughts with her desire (belief, faith) and devised a plan for her own healing; ¡§If I may but touch¡K¡¨ As a result of her focusing her thoughts and faith she received her desire.

Align Your Thoughts & Faith

When you align your thoughts with your faith, you can receive whatever you desire from God. We understand that to align our faith with God is to confess; the Greek word is Homologeo, to say the same thing as (Roman 10:9-10). Our problem is we have not aligned our thoughts with our faith in God. Aligning our thoughts with God deals with us conforming our will to God¡¦s will or simply said, taking of the Mind of Christ.

Many people have faith but they are not thinking. They are not aligning their thoughts with the will of God. If you¡¦re not thinking you will never get closer to the place of receiving what you desire. The woman with the issue of blood had faith, but it was her thinking coupled with her faith that gave her a plan. Not only did she want to be healed, because she aligned her thoughts with her faith, something in her knew it was God¡¦s Will for her to be heal. Therefore, God gave her of plan, an idea, to bring her desire and His will into reality.

Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

How do we delight in the Lord? We delight in God by aligning our thoughts with God¡¦s thoughts. That is why King David literally begged God, Ps. 51: 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. What David was saying was clean my mind! The mind in this verse is refers to his way of thinking! He wanted to think like God! When we begin to think like God, the answer to our situations become clear; we have these treasures in earthen vessels.
