“a Whoring Womb”
Brian Kocourek, Pastor
November 3rd, 2010
This evening we will speak on paragraphs 75b-79 where
brother Branham speaks of the Whoring womb. In this study we will find that in
order to commit adultery a woman must first receive that thought in her mind
then she will perform the act. If you
recall the Garden of Your mind we laid out the principle that the womb of the
spirit is your mind, and in that mind there are many seeds that have been
planted. Now, some of those seeds are God’s seed, the Word of God. But not all
seeds in that womb of the mind are from God. The Bible says that train up a
child in the way it shall go and when it gets old it will not depart.
Well, then what can you expect when you send your
children to public school which is putting forth the devils program and
indoctrinating children’s minds with all manner of filthy thinking.
75b
I ain't saying the Catholics not good people, as good as anybody. They're human beings like we are. But when it
comes to that old church, she's wrong. The Protestant's just as good... The
Methodists as good as the Baptists,
or Pentecostals, or anybody else. They're
all the same.
76 But the thing of it is, how
then can she be a harlot? Why? Give
her the Word test. That's how you know it. Uh-huh. Try her on the Word once and see what she says. "Oh, of
course, we're taught in the seminary that them days... Oh, it used to be that
way, but (ha-ha) that was way back in the days of the apostles. That was only
for the apostles only." You so-called
77
All her daughters are harlots. How? By
the same as their mammy: committing just spiritual fornications against the
Word. That's how the Catholic church become a whore. That's how her
daughters become harlots: same thing, spiritual
fornication against the Word. She
and her daughters has a whoring womb. Only death can come from them.
God can't bring life through death, and anything that's born dead is not alive.
Like Job said, "Can you bring a clean thing out of an
unclean? No not one." Right. Well, how can she give birth
herself when she's dead herself? How can
she be virgin when she is a whore? See, there you are. That's the whole
thing.
78
Oh, my, now we're going to hit something real rich, full of vitamins from
Genesis to Revelation. Notice, and she
and her daughters has a whore's womb. Only death can come from them. If you want to join the organization, think
you're all right, you see where you're landing. You're landing right in the
midst of death. Just exactly. If you
can't see that now, you're spiritually blind. See?
79
Now, let's go back now and pick up again and come down for something. You
remember what last Sunday's service was? The
Gate to the Soul. You remember? Now, there
is a womb of the physical; there is a womb for the spirit. Did you believe
that? There is a spiritual womb and a
physical womb. And the mind is the
womb to the spirit. Why? Now, remember, I told you last Sunday and drew it
out here for you. There's five senses
that enters this seed from the outside: see, taste, feel, smell, and hear; five on the inside: conscience, and so forth, from the inside five.
Now, on the life side there's only one.
That's you're on the basis of free moral agency to accept, take in, or let out.
See?
80
That's how adultery is committed
spiritually. When you, knowing
better by the Word of God, by the intercourse of the mind, take in a lie of the
devil against the Word of God: that's exactly what Eve done. With a spiritual intercourse first that
come by believing Satan's lie into the womb of her mind, that polluted her
soul, set death in the soul; then the natural act taken place. And that's the only way that a woman ever can
commit adultery against her husband, is to first let some man talk her into it
and then receive another man that's not her husband. Then she's committed adultery. And when the Bride of Jesus Christ lets manmade creeds and dogmas take the
place of the Word of God, she is committing adultery.
Now, this evening we are going to examine this thought
that brother Branham is giving us here and show it from the Scriptures so you
can know it is Thus Saith the Lord.
Let's
begin our Message this evening by reading from the following scriptures
Deut 6: 4-9 4Hear, O
Now, what I would like to focus on is verse 7 for it has words that
strike home how important it is for us to teach our children’s minds.
In verse 7 of the NIV it tells us Impress them on your children. Talk
of them when you sit in your home and when you walk
along the road, when you lie down and when
you get up.
Now, verse 7 in the Amplified version is even more memorable, it says, “And these words which I am commanding you this day shall be first in your mind heart; (now, that is the problem I have seen in
this Message the most. When children go wayward it is usually because the
parents do not have a true revelation themselves. The children see mom and dad
as hypocrites and know that that just play church and it is a social thing for
them, but because they are not driven by this word, the children do not come
into the proper manner of importance as they should have. I know that I must
seem to many as a fanatic because of the strong stands I have taken over the
years, but I would rather know my soul is right with God and have His approval
than to have a large church full of compromising people. Notice next what he
tells us to do). then (when? After you have established the word of
God as first
in your own mind and heart, then)
you shall whet
and sharpen them, so to make them penetrate,…
Now, the scripture uses symbolism here to get the message across. If
you wish for a knife or dagger to cut deeper into the flesh, you must first
make sure it is very, very sharp, so you use a wet stone to sharpen the blade
in order to make it penetrate as deep into the body as it can possibly
penetrate. So he says.. you shall whet and sharpen them, so to make them
penetrate, and teach (that’s number 1) and impress them diligently upon the
minds and hearts of your children, (that’s number 2) and (number 3) You
shall talk of them when you sit in your
house, and (number 4) when you walk by the way, and (number 5) when you lie down and (number 6) when
you rise up."
I hope you can see
the importance of not being wishy-washy with your children. We see that the
people were commanded to place pictures and Scriptures and all sorts of things
that the children will actually see with their eyes and when they see with
their eyes it will have an influence in their minds and in their hearts.
Now, we have already explained what it means to wet and sharpen the
Scriptures to your children, but what does it mean when it says to imprss them
upon the minds of your children. It tells us how to do it. It says, You shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and (number 4) when you walk by
the way, and (number 5) when you lie
down and (number 6) when you rise up."
But what does it mean to IMPRESS them upon their minds. The word Impress
means 1. To
affect strongly, favorably: 2. To produce or
attempt to produce a vivid impression or image of: 3. To mark or
stamp with or as if with pressure: impressed
a design on the hot wax. 4. To
apply with pressure; press.
So it is not a laid back attitude you are to take with your children, It
is an attitude that when they do wrong, it seems like the end of the world. You
do not impress without a press, for the word is IM-PRESS as in making an
imprint. When you press a coin into wax or clay to make a mold, that is what
you are doing to make the mold. And the word should be presented as Life and
death, not lackadaisically.
Genesis
1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth
grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his
kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Brother Branham
said in the Message
Again in the message Demonology 2 Religious 41-78 53-0609 178 he said, I said, "Instead of baptizing your body, you need your
brains baptized." That's right. You
don't stop to think of things. You don't try to consider it."
And in
the message Blasphemous
Names 62, 22-1 The biggest part of our faith is mental faith. By hearing the Word it brings us to a
mental recognition of God. But if this coming from above, oh, brother, if it
ever strikes this, there is a godly, spiritual faith. Then what does that faith
do? That faith recognizes only the Word. No matter what anything else says, it
only recognizes the Word, because "In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God. (And the Word's still God.) And the
Word was made flesh and dwelled among us." And when the word Itself is
pouring into our faith, our mental faith becomes a spiritual revelation.
"And upon this foundation I'll build My Church," (See?), not upon a
mental conception of church joining, a mental conception of that, but upon the
revelation. When them streams of grace has poured into that mental faith that
you've got, then upon this, a spiritual revelation, "I'll build My Church
and the gates of hell can't prevail against it." See?
Now, in getting to our thought on how the womb of the mind can be a
whoring womb, let me say that when you fill your mind with any thoughts other
than God thoughts, you are filling it with a compromising spirit and that is
what a whore does. She compromises what morals she did have for other motives
and objectives. It may be for money, it may be for position, it may be for
popularity. But she has to give something in exchange for this goal that she
has, and in her case it is that she compromises her body to gain those things.
If you recall our sermon on the
From the sermon, E-39 God Revealing Himself
to His People 50-0813E. The right mental attitude towards any
promise of God will bring it to pass. Do you believe that? The Word is a Seed (Is that right?) that a Sower sowed in the
ground. And every Seed will bring forth of its kind. If you need
salvation, the Seed's here. If you need healing, here's the Seed in the Word.
The Word of God is a Seed. Put it in your heart. Don't dig it up every morning
to see if it's sprouted, put it in there and leave it there. It's God's
business to bring forth the harvest. You just leave it there; water it by faith and praise every
day thanking God for it. All right.
E-50
At Thy Word 53-1204 I don't know how I'm going to do it, but at
Thy Word, Lord." That's it. Take God at His Word, and God's spoken Word
must--will materialize and produce just exactly what It says It will. Listen. The right mental attitude towards
any Divine promise of God will bring it to pass. I don't care what it is. If you want corn, you plant corn,
water corn, leave corn alone. It'll produce corn. Is that right? Wheat will
produce wheat. The promise of
salvation will produce a Christian. The promise of the Holy Ghost will bring It
to you. The promise of Divine healing will make you well. Any Divine promise of
God... And the Bible said that
the Word of God is a Seed. Is that right?
E-8
What Think Ye of Christ 53-1213M And if the right mental attitude, you just
take the right mental attitude towards any Divine promise, watch it materialize. See? No
matter how it looks, if it looks impossible, if God said so He makes it
possible.
175
Word Became Flesh
John
12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except
a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die,
it bringeth forth much fruit.
Now, brother Branham spoke of the original seed being the Word of
God and we see in 1 Peter 1: 23 that
we are born again by an incorruptible seed that lives and abides forever. That seed is the Word of God. and notice what he also
tells us in 2
Peter 1:3-4 According as his
divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and
virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that
by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the
corruption that is in the world through lust.
And, so
we see that the Word is a Seed carrier of Eternal Life. Now, this evening I
would like to look at this thought of the Word being a Seed in a little
different way than perhaps you have heard before. Since we are talking about
the Word as a Seed, I would like to break this down to our own personal level
for a few minutes.
Now, we
know that the Word is a Seed, right? Then if the Word is a Seed, there is a
life that is in that seed. Every seed is a carrier of life. We know this by
definition. But what is in a Word? The answer is thoughts. Before
there were any words there were thoughts. Then
the word is an expression of the thoughts. So in
essence the thoughts
within the word are the life of the Word, right?
Now to
further understand how our mind is like a garden, we shall look further to the
book of [Proverbs 23:7] Here we read, "For as a man thinketh in his heart so is he." And so we see that a man is what he thinks in his heart. And we
have already shown that our thoughts are likened to the life that is in a seed.
Therefore, we can conclude that a man is literally what he thinks, and therefore
his character is the sum of all of his thoughts. "As every plant springs forth from a seed that was hidden in
the earth, and could not have began without a seed, so too every action that we do, springs forth from a seed that
was planted in our minds as a thought." Therefore
our actions manifest what thoughts lay in our heart.
InLuke 6:45 Jesus tells us that the words we speak all come forth from the
abundance of the heart. And the word heart as we know, means the understanding which is the compilation of all of our thoughts.
Therefore our actions and speech are only the fruitage which comes forth to
manifest the seed-life within.
In Gen 1:11 We see in the law of reproduction, that every seed must
bring forth after it’s own kind or nature.
Therefore,
the life that is in the seed must become manifest. And therefore, whatsoever
life is in the seed will come forth in an outward manifestation in due season.
Our thoughts then are the seeds of our actions. And therefore if a man is
righteous, it is because he has righteous thoughts as we see in Proverbs 12:5 The thoughts of the righteous
are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
Therefore,
what distinguishes a righteous man from a wicked man? His thoughts first and
then his actions following.
Ps 10:4 The
wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is
not in all his thoughts.
Brother
Branham taught us the simple principle that before you can actually do the
sin-act in your flesh, you must first have to think of it in your mind. Therefore
the Greatest battle ever fought is in the mind.
Since we
know that God created man in his own image, then we must consider that as God
brings forth into manifestation His thoughts and desires of His heart, so does
man do the same. Jer 23:20 The anger of the LORD shall not return,
until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart:
in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
Your mind then
is likened to a garden which will grow forth fruit, whether good
or bad depending on what we do with it. In a natural garden we plant the seeds
that we want to bring to harvest. We cultivate our garden so that no weeds will
grow in it. It takes work, but if we sow we shall also reap. The problem is
that there is another who also wishes to sow in our minds as well. Jesus tells
the parable of the two sowers who went forth sowing seeds. The First was the
Son of Man and the other one was the devil. The Son of Man sowed forth good
seed which was the Word of God. But the devil sowed his own word seed which
brought forth tares or weeds. Now we are likened as to the husbandmen who are
responsible for this garden. We are supposed to act as good stewards of the
good seed which is the Word of God. But if we are not really interested in what
kind of harvest we shall reap, then we do not cultivate the good seed. We just
let whatever grows to grow. And this will result in the weeds overtaking the
seeds every time.
Weeds
will always outgrow the True planting of the Lord because after all they are
wild. And we know that "many more are the children of the harlot than
she which has a husband."
And so we
see that every deed is first committed in the heart, or mind. Matt
12:35 35A good man out of
the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out
of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Matthew 15:19
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Mark
7:21 21For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil
thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders
The Bible
tells us, "As he thinketh in his heart, so is
he." Therefore we are the product of our thoughts just as any
fruit is product of the seed that was planted in the ground. That is why we are
told to cast down any thought that would exalt itself against the Word of God.
2 Corinthians
10:5 Casting
down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the
knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of
Christ;
Notice that we are told to bring every
thought into obedience to the Word of God. Matt 12:33 Either
make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his
fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
Luke
3:8-9 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin
not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto
you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 9 And
now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
If we are righteous it is because we think righteous thought. And
if you have your source from God then you will not be able to help but to think
God’s thoughts. Remember the parable of the two sowers. They both sowed seed,
but the Seed from the Son of Man was called he good seed. And we see that a
good plant will only produce a good fruit.
Now I
believe that everything you are, even
your Character comes forth from the garden of thought
that is in your heart, making you what you really are. Brother Branham told us
that when we are born again, we receive everything that we will ever have need
of to bring forth the image of God in us.
In Fact
we hear John tell us this in 1 John 3:2
where we find that we are already Sons of God, but
that at this point we just don’t look like it, and therefore we may not know it.
This evening,
I would like to show you how the thought in your mind affect every thing about
you, not only does it affect your character, and the molding of your character,
but it will even affect the circumstances that you enter into daily, which
circumstances are used by God in the shaping of your character into it’s final
product that God has predestined for you. Therefore, every trial you endure, every
test that God puts you through, comes about as a result of the Seed thoughts
that lay within your heart.
1 Peter
4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the
fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto
you:
Here we
see that it should not surprise us when we face our trials, because these
trials are made for the purpose of testing us. In fact we see in 1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your
faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried
with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of
Jesus Christ:
Not only
are we ordained to these tests, but we are also ordained to pass them. WUEST TRANSLATION ....In which last season you are to be
constantly rejoicing with a joy that expresses itself in a triumphant
exuberance, although for a little while at the present time if perchance there
is a need for it, you have been made sorrowful in the midst of many different kinds
of testings in order that the approval of your faith, which faith was examined by testing for the purpose of being
approved, that your approval being much more precious than the approval of gold
which perishes, even though that gold be approved by fire-testing, may be
discovered after scrutiny to result in Praise, Honor and Glory at the time of
the Revelation of Jesus Christ;
Therefore,
we can say that every trial that you go through and ever time you are put to a
test by God and you can not see beyond the circumstance which surround your
life, just remember that these are all a result of the seeds of your thinking
and they have spawned forth from the garden of your own mind. Remember, what
Paul told us in the book of
Romans
8:28-31 tells us that all
things shall work together for our good, and that we are the called and that we
are ordained to the image of the first born son. So if everything about us is
already predestined from God, then the very thoughts we think, He knew before
the foundations of the World, and He knows not only what you have thought, but
what thoughts you will think too. Then we can see the relationship of these
thoughts that we have and how they influence our growth into the image of His
Son.
Our minds
are always in a constant flux of change. When we were children we had certain
thoughts that filled our minds. Then through life experiences we begin to
further develop our thoughts.
And as we
receive each and every new experience, our minds begin to examine the
circumstances in our lives with a more mature understanding. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13:11 "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, because I understood as a child
understands, because I thought as a child thinks, but now that I have become a
man, I put away from my mind childish thinking." And so we see that our mind is in a
constant growth pattern, in which our garden or thoughts are constantly being
upgraded so to speak, or renewed by what life experiences we go through on our
journey of becoming.
Therefore
we must understand that since our character development is dependent upon
receiving every outside stimuli that will produce in our thinking, the thoughts
of God, thus we can see the dependence upon these stimuli in order to bring us
into fulfillment toward the ultimate goal of receiving the very mind of God.
Therefore, our reactions that we show toward these
circumstances is an outward indication as to where we stand in our development
toward the end-product of our being. How we handle each circumstance will depend upon what stage we are
in, in our progression toward our ultimate character. Then what appears to be a test at one stage in our progression,
will not appear to be so at a further stage in our character development.
Circumstances
are just like taking a test in school. What would appear to be a very difficult
thing for us in the first year of schooling, would not even appear to be a test
after twelve years of schooling. The further on in our progressive state that
we move into toward the image of God that we are conforming to, the further
developed will be our response mechanism that we harbor in our mind set or seed
garden of our thinking. Therefore every circumstance that we face
in life is a growth from our own mind or thoughts. Circumstances
grow out of thought.
We are only buffeted by circumstances so long as we perceive these to be an
outside influence upon our lives.
But when
we come to the place where we realize that circumstances that come
forth in our lives are a direct result of our own mental state, we will begin
to appreciate their use and purpose in our growth toward the finished product
that God has destined for each one of us.
Anyone
who has for any length of time, been a practicing Christian, and who has
practiced self control and self purification or sanctification, will have
noticed that the alteration in their circumstances have been in a direct ratio
to the alteration in their mental state. When a man purposely and earnestly makes an
effort to remedy their personal character defects, and makes a swift and marked
progress, toward bettering themselves in those areas of weakness, they pass
swiftly through a succession of unpredictable changes. Therefore, the soul attracts that which it secretly desires, and
also that which it fears the most. It not only reaches the heights of it’s
desired aspirations, but it also falls to the level of it’s unchastened
desires, and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives what it
longs for.
Therefore, every thought seed that is sown, or that we allow to fall into
the fertile soil of our minds, to take root there, will produce it’s own, after
it’s own likeness or nature.
Sooner or later each thought seed we have sown in our hearts will have to
take blossom and become manifested in our lives as an action or deed. And each action or deed will bear it’s own
fruit in terms of opportunity or circumstances. As the Scripture tells us, good thoughts will bear good fruit and bad thoughts will
bear bad fruit. That
is why we must come to the place where we begin to monitor and control what we
think and believe.
In 1 Peter 1: 20-22 we find Peter tells us that if we suffer
for Christ sake it is acceptable with God, but if we suffer for what we have
caused, then we should take the consequences patiently, knowing that all things
are working together for our own good. As you can see, you thoughts are seeds
that must by their nature of being a seed, bring forth into manifestation the
nature that is in the seed.
Since the
life in the seed will make itself known, then when the seed thought does give
way to a life experience in the form of an action or a deed, it will then cause
other things to happen in response. Therefore as Peter said, don’t be so
shocked and surprised if your actions cause other circumstances to happen which
you may feel you can not control. You really can control them by not causing
them to happen in the first place.
For
every action there is a reaction. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful how we do things. If we
really believe that everything we sow will result in a reaping, then when we
sow hateful speech, or criticisms, we should not be surprised when the
criticisms come back our way. Therefore we should be able to now see how the outer world of circumstances actually shape themselves to
our inner world of thought.
And both pleasant and unpleasant external conditions are factors which make for
our ultimate good, or work together for our good. That is why we learn by both suffering and receiving blessings. Each of these outward stimuli helps to
further our growth toward that image of Christ that we so long to be in our
souls. Therefore we should be able to see that our actions are only an
expression of our thoughts. Circumstances do not just happen, they grow
out of the conditions of our heart.
Just as
our spiritual lives are progressive where word must be piled upon word to bring
forth that Glorified body, so too do our circumstances add to our suffering in order to help our
character to grow and develop. Every
situation we face in life is like the piece of a large puzzle that once fitted
together gives purpose and meaning to each of them. The circumstances and conditions we face
each day are only reflectors which help us to know how far along in our
development we have come. Therefore, you may not always receive what you pray
for, but know one thing for sure, you will always receive what you have sown for. Therefore our desires and prayers are only
gratifying to us when they are in harmony with what we are actually sowing in
the recesses of our mind. When we fight circumstances, we are only revolting
against the effect of what we have been sowing. We see the circumstances that
are without and we may not like what we see, yet they are there only because we
keep nourishing them in our minds, and we keep feeding and thus preserving them
in the gardens of our mind.
We so
often wish to improve upon our circumstances, but yet we are so unwilling to
improve ourselves. And that is why our circumstances remain the same. If we shrink from crucifixion of self, we
shall never achieve our hearts desire. A man who wishes to have a better life
style, must be willing to work for what he wants. Too many people live at the
poverty level and wish daily that they could rise above it, and yet they are
personally unwilling to do something about their condition other than gripe and
complain about it. You are the reason you are what you are. What you have sown
is what you are reaping in your life.
You don’t
get a close knit family by the luck of some draw, but you get a close nit
family by hard work and constant communication. Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results. Jesus told us that a Good tree can not
produce bad fruit. Therefore if we think good thoughts, we will have good
actions which will produce good results.
In Matt 7:17-19 we see that you reap only what you sow.
Therefore if you delight in the Lord, you will receive the things that you have
need of.
Psalms
37:4 and Proverbs 16:4 tells us that when you make the
commitment; you are the one who must sow, and then God simply honors the Law or
Reproduction that says, every seed will bring forth after it’s own
kind. I have seen too many people complain about
their lack of victory, yet they do not sow victory, but defeat.
E-17
Hour Is Come 51-0415E Your right mental attitude towards God's
Divine promise will bring any promise to pass. Now, maybe you don't believe that. You
say, "Well, my faith is weak." I
wouldn't confess it. See? Don't
let the devil know that. Always say, "I have good faith. I
believe God with all my heart." See? Don't testify nothing of the devil. And when you accept Him as your
Healer, don't never act like you're sick or crippled any more. Believe that you're
healed. Take Him at His Word. Then it's
all over on God then and not on you. See? As
long as you take God at His Word, then the Word will produce what It promised
to do.
Therefore, Beautiful thoughts of all kinds will crystallize into habits
of Grace and kindness,
which solidify into
friendly and cheerful circumstances: pure thoughts crystallize into habits of
holiness and self control, which further solidify into
circumstances of rest and peace. If you sow thoughts of self reliance, courage and decisiveness,
they will bring forth
circumstances of success, plenty and freedom; energetic thoughts crystallize into
habits of cleanliness and industry, which solidify into circumstances of
courteousness: gentle and forgiving thoughts solidify into protective and
preservative circumstances.
Loving
and unselfish thoughts crystallize into habits of self-forgetfulness for others
which solidify into circumstances of sure and abiding prosperity and true
riches. "To have friends you must show yourself
friendly" If you keep sowing the same particular
train of thoughts, be it good or bad, it cannot help but to produce its results
on the character and circumstances in which you live.
[Isaiah 58:11] "And the
Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy
thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered
garden, and like a spring of water, whose water s fail not. "
Therefore,
everything you are, even your Character comes forth from the garden of thought that is in your heart, making you what you
really are. And the garden of your thoughts affects every thing that is already
in you, not only affecting your character, and molding your character, but even
to the circumstances that you enter into daily, and the way you handle those
circumstances. And God uses those circumstances in shaping of your character
into it’s final product that He has predestined for you. Therefore, every trial you endure, every test God puts you
through, comes about as a result of the Seed Thoughts that lay within your
heart. Therefore, every thought seed that is sown, or that we allow to fall
into the fertile soil of our minds, to take root there, will produce it’s own,
after it’s own likeness or nature. Sooner or later each thought seed we have sown in our hearts will
have to take blossom and become manifested in our lives as an action or deed.
And each action or deed will bear it’s own fruit in terms of opportunity or
circumstances. As the Scripture tells us, good thoughts will bear good fruit
and bad thoughts will bear bad fruit.
Therefore Loving thoughts create an atmosphere of
help, and trust, which crystallize into habits of Grace, kindness, and charity,
which creates further circumstances of friendliness and cheerful benevolence,
and reciprocity on the behalf of those who are the recipients of your loving
thoughts. [2 Thes 1:2-3, Eph 1:15,
Pure
thoughts create an atmosphere of holiness and sobriety, which crystallize into
habits of sanctification and self control, which further solidify into
circumstances of rest and peace.[1Thes 5:23 Rom 6:17-19, 2
Cor 7:1, Phil 4:8,1
Tim 1:5, Heb 12:14]
Positive
thoughts, along with thoughts of courage and decisiveness, creates within you
an atmosphere of assurance, and steadfastness, which will bring forth
circumstances of success, and freedom. [Eph 3:11-12, Heb 10:35-36, Heb 10:22-24]
Gentle
and forgiving thoughts create an atmosphere of love and trust which solidify
into protective and preservative circumstances, and crystallize into
circumstances which allows you to minister help and forgiveness to others,
which allows those affected to enter into an atmosphere of hope and
reconciliation. [Eph 4:31-32, Col 3:12-14, Luke 7:40-47, ] If you keep sowing the same particular
seed thoughts, be it good or bad, it cannot help but to create an atmosphere
around you which will also affect your character and the circumstances in which
you live.
