Thinking With Faith Or By Reasoning

(Dialogue Thought)

When God tells us something, or impart something into our spirit, do we think with faith, or do we rationalize and analyze His answer?

Many times when God gives up an answer to a concern we put His answer to work by trying to analyze it.  If God wanted us to analyze everything He would not have told us to Have Faith In God. The scripture tells us that faith pleases God.

By nature, our human mind tells us to think things over, but the spirit tells us to have the faith as of a mustard seed and nothing will be impossible for us.


Job 15:3-4

Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.

***When we try to reason what God has said to us we hinder and lessen our meditation and prayer before God. Our thoughts can condemn us if we do not have the faith we should in Him.

Many times we try to think logically, reasoning answers, things and situations out with thoughts of  self interest.Trying to reason out every answer God gives us can cause a conflict with Him, because His answers and actions don't always appear reasonable from a human point of view.

Knowledge and understanding is not available through human intelligence and reasoning; it come through divine revelation. Those who are indwelt by the Holy Spirit have the mind of Christ, and have access to the things freely given to them by God, according to 1 Corinthians 2:7-16


Isaiah 55:8-9

For my thoughts are not your thoughts  neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.



OUR FAITH SHOULD NOT STAND IN THE WISDOM OR REASONING OF MEN, BUT IN THE POWER OF GOD.


Lets not try to figure it out because God has already work it out through His word.


Until we meet again - soon.
