The document discusses analyzing one's thoughts and mind. It notes that the mind can generate life or death and be a landing place for the Holy Spirit or enemy. It encourages letting go of wicked thoughts and ways and returning to God, who has abundant forgiveness. His thoughts are higher than ours. Practically, we must deal with thoughts not aligned with God's and be aware of our thoughts. Personally, we should note our thought life and if thoughts generate life or release death.

This is a summary power point of the 3 part message I gave about understanding how God blesses our lives. It looks at how we can respond effectively, and understand that God's blessing is written into each of our hearts in a unique way.
We can learn from science that joy activates the brain’s relational circuits in the middle of our identity center. Joy enables us to respond to the God who is with us and for us. God’s initiating love allows us to receive his grace with appreciation and joy, generating a joyful identity. The brain’s joy center – the right orbital prefrontal cortex – is the only section of brain which never loses its capacity to grow – so our “joy strength” can continue to expand through life.
Because Cory didn’t grow up with joy being a part of his life, he found that the interactive gratitude exercise from Jim Wilder, Anna Kang, John Loppnow, and Sungshim Loppnow’s book, Joyful Journey, was helpful in processing his internal dialogue of negative thoughts so he could experience joy from God. It allowed him to write a letter to God with a response back from Him. Cory never received validation from his earthly father. Receiving re-parenting and validation from God, Cory said, allowed him to avoid emotionally dumping on people.
After the gratitude exercise, six additional steps are included in Immanuel Journaling (described below), where we write down our impression of what God is thinking and saying to us (everything we write down being filtered through Scripture and our knowledge of God’s character).
Immanuel Journaling Steps:
1. Gratitude. Write anything you appreciate and then write God’s response to your gratitude:
“Dear God, I’m thankful for…” and “Dear child of mine…”
2. I can see you.
Write from God’s perspective what He observes in you right now, including your physical sensations.
3. I can hear you.
Write from God’s perspectives what He hears you saying to yourself.
4. I understand how big this is for you.
How does God see your dreams, blessings or upsets and troubles?
5. I am glad to be with you and treat your weakness tenderly.
How does God express His desire to participate with your life?
6. I can do something about what you are going through.
What does God give you for this time?
7. Read what you have written aloud (preferably to someone else)
1. Where is my mind?
Summarized in a sentence (purpose)
What am I thinking during the day?
What are the thoughts that are running through my mind?
What must we DO (how)
We need to be aware of what is going on in my mind.
We are sometimes so busy that we never stop for a moment and just analyze what was I thinking.
Behoefte / Need
Our mind can be a place were
• life is generated or
• death is released
Our mind can be a landing place for
• the Holy Spirit or
• the enemy.
God se antwoord / God's answer
Isa 55:7-9 MKJV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let
him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly
pardon.
God is saying here that neither your action or your thoughts will disqualify you. Just come to Me
and I will have mercy on you, His forgiveness is abundant.
[8] For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor your ways My ways, says the Lord. [9] For as the
heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than
your thoughts.
The way God thinks and reasons is way above the way we think and reason. It is as far as the
heavens is above the earth.
Praktiese toepassing / Practical application
We need to get to a place were we can deal with the thoughts that aren’t aligned with God’s
thought.
We need to make ourselves aware of the thoughts that are running through my mind.
Persoonlike applikasie / Personal application
All I want to ask you this week is take note of your thought life.
Then start to distinguish if your thoughts are
• Generating life or
• Releasing death
