The Inner Light That Radiates from God’s Thoughts Will Guide You Home

Notice the thoughts within you that come from God. You don’t choose to think them (and you often may not even want them). They originate beyond your brain. They are wholesome and holy and call you to live a better life.

Many thoughts from God come to you every day but you mostly look away and let them pass by unnoticed. Those thoughts are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, full of virtue, and worthy to be praised. God-thoughts come to lead you to love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Dare to daily listen to, be led by, and live by God’s thoughts that are always higher than your own thoughts–the gifts of hope and help that His Spirit speaks within your soul and your mind. Train your consciousness to hear Christ’s still small voice, to absorb and savor what He says within you, and to faithfully obey Him.

God’s thoughts enter you as words, promptings, sensations, images, insights, and more. You can also access them through the Bible. God-thoughts always align with the words that God spoke to and through the writers of the Scriptures. They come to exhort you, comfort you, and call you to open your heart to intimacy with and obedience to the risen Jesus Christ. Now be still and notice the thoughts of God . . .

I love to spend time with people who listen to and obey God-thoughts. They like to pray aloud with me, to talk to and listen to Jesus together, and to pour out their heart in verbal expressions of love, adoration, and praise to Him.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
