Acts 17:11 (CSB) The people here were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, since they received the word with eagerness and examined the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

 

To see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth . NLT 

 

V12 As a result, many believed. 

 

They were ready to hear the Word. There minds were opened 

They searched it daily for themselves to seek out the truth.

They didn’t just accept the man (Paul) word. They looked for themselves. 

They wanted to see if he was delivering the message of facts and not fluff .

They did it DAILY! To find out! To see if these things were so 

And they found the truth and that Paul was legit and many people believed.

 

The Digest:

Do you receive the Word of God with eagerness?

Do you examine the Scriptures ? How often ?

Do you seek the Scriptures when you have heard a Word from someone to see if it lines up with Scripture>

 

The Chew:

Search the Scriptures for yourself.

“Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same understanding — because the one who suffers in the flesh is finished with sin — in order to live the remaining time in the flesh no longer for human desires, but for God’s will. For there has already been enough time spent in doing what the Gentiles choose to do: carrying on in unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry. They are surprised that you don’t join them in the same flood of wild living — and they slander you. They will give an account to the one who stands ready to judge the living and the dead. For this reason the gospel was also preached to those who are now dead, so that, although they might be judged in the flesh according to human standards, they might live in the spirit according to God’s standards.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4:1-6‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Leaving the thoughts that don’t line up with God's purpose.

 

If we are thinking negative thoughts, defeating thoughts, 

We are thinking like the natural man the only way to change the thought is thru the spirit. The Holy Spirit is given as a helper after you are in Christ.

 

“For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND and PURPOSES OF THE LORD, SO AS TO INSTRUCT H IM? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes].”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2:16‬ ‭AMP‬‬

.

Remember the WWJD bracelets? We should be thinking WWJT? What would Jesus think?

.

Based on what we know to be true about Him? Would he be thinking so low, so down, so defeated? Will he say I can't? 

.

“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭23:7‬a ‭NKJV‬‬

.

Our thoughts have a lot to do with who we become. 

.

““For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Mind- Counsels and purposes           

Christ -anointed

Wisdom Wednesday 

Let’s look at Leaping away from being wise in our strength and plans 

 

“Many plans are in a man’s mind, But it is the LORD ’ S purpose for him that will stand (be carried out).”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭19:21‬ ‭AMP‬‬

 

We make a lot of plans for our day,  our menu, our budget, our 5 year plan, 10 year plan, we plan our wedding plan when we are going to have kids. We plan future

We purchase planner and write it all out. 

But we must hold to the plan lightly because it is the Lord plan that will ultimately work out for our good. 

How have you seen your plans fail only to see that the Lord had something better or bigger in the first place ?

 

Go ahead and make all the plans you want, but it’s the Lord who will ultimately direct your steps.

Within your heart you can make plans for your future, but the Lord chooses the steps you take to get there.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:1, 9‬ ‭TPT‬‬

 

“The Lord has prepared everything for his purpose — even the wicked for the day of disaster.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:4‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Knowing that He has planned everything for you and for His purposes, How might this change the way you “plan” your life?

 

All of your plans have to go through the sovereign God.

 

Does your plan line up with the will of God?

The Chew:

Plan lightly, He will accomplish rightly!

Leap with Jesus 

Leaving Everything Apart from Purpose 

With Jesus 

 

The purpose Jesus came was to do the will of the God 

 

“For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will.”

‭‭John‬ ‭6:38‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

Jesus chose us over him. It wasn’t about him. 

.

How often do we make our life plans for our purposes?

.

He wanted to bless us.

.

The purpose of God to bless mankind through Christ

.

He gives eternal life

.

“For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.””

‭‭John‬ ‭6:40‬ ‭NLT‬‬

.

He give us life right now

.

“The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”

‭‭John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

.

Each one has a purpose the enemy has one and Jesus has as one. Which one are you allowing to take over your life? 

.

Has the enemy tried to steal, kill or destroy you? 

Or Are you enjoying the abundance of the life JEsus has purposed for you? 

.

His purpose is a content life, not a comfortable life. 

.

To possess this purpose filled life, you must lean into the right pasture and the right shepherd. 

.

Knowing the voice of the shepherd and where he is leading you.

.

Honor the shepherd to find your true purpose doing His will on that not of our own.

.

If you are living outside of God’s purpose, you are living outside God’s power.-Dr. Tony Evans

Culture offers us many opinions but we must choose not to imitate.

If we agree with the things that are against the word and the will of God. How can we be of Christ?

 

It’s obvious that we conform to something 

Conform.. to conform one's self (i.e. one's mind and character) to another's pattern, (fashion one's self according to)

We copy the pattern of either the Word of the World

Conforming to culture requires imitation 

Conforming to Christ offers transformation

Conforming to culture leaves us empty 

Conforming to a Christ leaves you empowered

 

“Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:2‬ ‭TPT‬‬

.

Conforming to Culture spiritually deforms you. Stunts your growth. 

Conforming to Christ spiritually transformed you. Matures your growth.

“Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭MSG‬‬

.

When we began to fit in we no longer stand out. People should see you as different.

.

Conforming to culture chokes the Word leaving you unfruitful 

Conforming to Christ you understand the Word leaving you fruitful

“Now the one sown among the thorns — this is one who hears the word, but the worries of this age and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13:22‬ ‭CSB‬‬

“But the one sown on the good ground — this is one who hears and understands the word, who does produce fruit and yields: some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times what was sown.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13:23‬ ‭CSB‬‬

 

Conforming to culture means you don’t love the Father and you crave the thing of the world. 

Conforming to Christ you do what pleases the Father. 

“Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:15-17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

Conforming to Christ offers eternal rescue and a renewed spirit. 

 

“Jesus gave his life for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:23‬ ‭NLT‬‬
