Changing our thinking
I copy this series completely on purpose in our blog.
I will not only link, along the lines of:
There is also a good idea, one of many.
I am convinced that this is a good veheißungsorientierte attitude, a very important part of our Christian faith.

Day 26: God is far away
Today we join in that which we contemplated yesterday. Remember the cunning snake from 1 Moses 3rd Thoughts can trip us up, and often they are very cunning. We must not only learn to distinguish between false and distinguish right , but also between right and almost right .
It is almost right to ask God that he comes down and helps us. It sounds holy. It sounds humble. But true liberation we experience when we discover that he is already here.
We want to fast from the thought that makes us believe that God is far away from us. God is not only with us and for us, he is also in us.
"Emmanuel" means "God with us. When Jesus came, he ended the separation between God and man. This mystery we will probably not understand completely until we are in heaven. Colossians 1, 27 puts it: "you God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, and that is:. Christ in you, the hope of glory "It's almost right, if we believe that we will come closer through a holier life to God . But the distance between God and us is a myth, an illusion. The devil wants us about our relationship with God like to have as innocent as possible.
It is true, as in Isaiah 59, 2 reads: "Your crimes are the ones who have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you."
But Jesus has removed the sin through his blood. Therefore, the separation could not be found, when someone is born again. If we do not understand, we feel far from God and get stuck in our bonds. Although we sometimes have the feeling that he was far away, this is not the same. He's here. He is in us.
Today we want to replace the almost right thoughts through the right thinking.
- Psalm 46, 2: "God is our refuge and strength, as found plenty of assistance in distress." Is not that a wonderful thought? Have you ever been in trouble? Well sure! But note: He is always present. And he is the help in difficult times. It is its ubiquity, which accounts for our help.
- Take him at his word. Jesus said in Matthew 28, 20: "Behold, I am with you" every day until the end of the age. This sentence can not be interpreted incorrectly. "I am with you ..." - it warms our hearts and comfort us.
- Christianity is not a life of achievements, but of knowledge. Paul in Philemon 6: "... that the community of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of all the good that is in us in terms of Christ." Many people make all sorts of things in order to come into God's presence and experience His blessing. But the Bible is clear: We must understand and acknowledge that he is already within us. His gifts are already in us. Thus we get a force neither money nor religion can obtain for us. This finding makes our faith becomes effective. Recognize and acknowledge that he has with his gifts made in you home.
- Christian does not mean that we "find" God. Rather, he came and found us, joined us in his arms. He shed His blood to wash away our unrighteousness, and he gave us his holy spirit. He has taken lives in every man, Jesus Christ as Lord. Romans 8, 11: "If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he is who raised Christ Jesus from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies because of his residing in you mind" .
- Banish every thought that says: God, come down and help me. He has already come. He has already sent his spirit. Our struggle is being had to believe, even if we do not feel it. He is in you!
- We do not live for God, but we live from God. Galatians 2, 20: "... and no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me, which I now live in the flesh I live by faith, in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and himself for gave me. " David says in Psalm 139, 7-9: "Where should I go from thy spirit flee while before your face? If I ascend to heaven, thou art there. I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there. I were to levy the wings of the morning, I let myself down at the far end of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, "Your right hand hold me.
I decide me today to reject the idea that I was in some way separated from God.
He is my ever-present help in my distress. He is my lifeboat. I find peace because I know I am safe in it.
I acknowledge that God is already within me. This is my faith effectively. He found me and gave his spirit in me. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, lives now in me.
God is not far away. He is right now right here with me. I am surrounded by his love and secure in his presence. So I am not afraid. He is my shield, my refuge, my help at this moment.
I try not to live for God, but I'm out of it. His strength is in me. His presence is in me. And nothing can I ever be separated from the love of God which was given to me in my Lord Jesus Christ. "
