0813 以我的思想取代你的思想
想要確切地知道你的關注點在哪裡，其實並不困難。如果你仔細聆聽你自己口中所出的言語，你就能理解你的心正在想什麼。我渴望你始終保持自信、平和與喜樂的狀態。但如果你讓思緒主導一切，將所有讓你感到煩擾的事情不斷放大時，它就會壓垮你的靈。
你必須努力活在我的同在中，僅僅停止抱怨或抵擋仇敵是不夠的，你必須與我親近，滿懷信心地接受我的視角，並不斷邀請我的同在來掌管你的生命。在我的同在中，無人會說“我害怕”。在我的榮耀中，從未聽見有人說“我貧窮”。 在我的同在中，眾人都呼喊：“榮耀！”進入我蔭下的避難所，在這裡，所有敬虔的愛人都被洗凈、穿上衣袍、戴上冠冕，並與我一同坐席。我深深地顧念你，在我榮耀的安全感中，沒有任何事物能夠攪擾你。來吧，用我的思想取代你的思想；你擁有基督的思想。
那些活在聖靈里的人，有能力仔細評估一切事，並且他們只接受神、而非人的審查。因為誰曾真正了解主耶和華的心意，足以成為祂的謀士呢？基督如此，而我們擁有基督的洞察力。——哥林多前書 2:15–16
0813 Exchange your thoughts for mine
It’s easy to know exactly where your focus is. If you listen closely to what pours from your lips, you’ll understand what’s on your heart. I long for you to walk in a continual state of confidence, peace, and joy. But when your mind leads the way, highlighting everything that’s upsetting you, it will overwhelm your spirit.
You must seek to live in the awareness of my nearness. It’s not enough to forsake complaining or to resist the enemy. You must stay close to me, confidently embracing my perspective, constantly inviting my presence to rule your life. No one says in my presence, “I am afraid.” It’s never heard in my glory, “I am poor.” In my presence all cry, “Glory!” Come into the shelter of my shadow, where all my godly lovers are washed, robed, crowned, and seated with me. I care deeply for you, and nothing can disturb you here in the safety of my glory. Come and exchange your thoughts for mine. You have the mind of Christ.
Those who live in the Spirit are able to carefully evaluate all things, and they are subject to the scrutiny of no one but God. For Who has ever intimately known the mind of the Lord Yahweh well enough to become his counselor? Christ has, and we possess Christ’s perceptions. –1 CORINTHIANS 2:15-16
