IN THE FLOW

To get into the flow we need to find out where we are out of the flow now. Our past thinking has brought us to our current position. We need to change from our past thinking to the place where we are thinking correctly. This is the first step. Staying in the flow is important to achieve your goals. Whether it is to have the best marriage, be the best parent, be the best friend, be financially secure or stay in that place where you are improving and achieving inner wholeness. The Bible says that if we submit to God, the devil will flee from us. I have heard that the translation of "Satan" is "Doubt". So trust in God and doubt will flee from you. I believe that this is staying in the flow. Submitting to God, getting in His Word, listen to good preachers preach the truth about faith in the power of God. I have a few recommendations, but God will lead you when you listen to His voice...that still small voice deep within us that is our guide and assurance. The Bible says to "...cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.." so we purposefully think on things that are on that higher plane. I like to think of it as thinking like God, because God thinks good thoughts about us. He says in the Book of Jeremiah that the thoughts He thinks toward us,( or about us) are thoughts of peace for a future and a hope. (paraphrase mine) I know that the word "peace" can be translated to wholeness and completeness. And also it says that God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts. That tells me that He is thinking from that place of purity, virtuousness, all good, honesty etc. That is where we need to see ourselves. We need to think from that higher place which is the place where we are successful because He has already made it so- through His thoughts about us.
Our creator wants us to be like Him, to think like He thinks, because His thoughts are higher (better) than our thoughts and He is all good. So that we can be the creators that we are meant to be. That means our "purpose" is to change or adjust our thinking to a higher way of thinking and follow His guidance in doing His will in this earth. When the little children came to Jesus, He used them as an example and said that we were to have faith as a little child. That kind of faith is pure and innocent. The Bible says to guard your heart. By the time we are in school, we have been bombarded by "you can't do that", "you never will be good enough" and other statements from trusted people that damage our "purity" and "innocence". So we need to guard our heart against these things and realize who we are as children of God. So, as adults, we have to try to recover and change our polluted thinking to what God intended in the beginning. Pure thoughts, honest thoughts, virtuous thoughts and thoughts that are good news, and good reports. We do that by spending time in His Word and with Him in that quiet place and allowing Him to fill us and our faith grows. We focus on Him, His will, His ways. I am here to tell you that you can change your thinking and get to that higher place. Ask Him to help you and He will. He is a good God. If you believe and have faith. If you believe and have faith (learn to operate in faith) you can have a better life and you can be the awesome person you want to be. You can stay in the flow and get to the place you desire in your heart. Trust in God and keep working on your thoughts. You will see more positive and helpful thoughts coming to you as you practice being in the flow and focusing on truth. Take the first step to learning what and how to change. Then,read good books, positive and inspiring books (I recommend the Holy Bible). Listen to positive teachings. Granted, not everything in every book will be positive or for you, but as you go, you will learn to sift away what doesn't belong in your life, ask Him to show you, and you will get better. Listen to the Spirit within you, this is key. Cast down the bad thoughts and bring in the good, positive, encouraging thoughts and you will see yourself successful more and more and I believe you can Attract Great Success.
