Your Promise (Part 4)

If You are to embrace God's promises, you will need to enlarge your spiritual borders and get rid of your stinking thinking. Stinking thinking is any attitude that is contrary to what God's Word says:

Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

Stinking thinking prohibits the blessing God wants to pour out on you. It will not fit within the parameters of your natural reasoning, which are usually affected by negative, false, or unreasonable reports. 

This blessing cannot be poured into the old vessels of tradition.  It will not be limited by the parameters of your present life.  You will break forth on the right hand and the left.  You will inherit the Gentiles (the nations).  You will march into the desolation of sinful cities, violent slums, dangerous prisons, and drug houses to deliver people from the very gates of Hell.  This is your divine calling from God!

God commanded Abraham to walk through the land and declared that He would give it to him.  Applied to us spiritually, this means we can walk through “the land” of our households and claim our children for God.  We can walk through the desolation of our cities and nations, knowing God has given this territory into our hands spiritually. If it worked in the Old Testament I see no reason it cannot work today.

There was a widow lady in Old Testament times who was in deep debt.  She owed so much money to her creditors that they were about to seize her sons to serve as indentured servants to pay off the obligations in 2 Kings 4.  

The prophet of God told this woman to obtain as many empty vessels as possible from her friends, family, and neighbors. Then he told her to use the little oil she had and fill the vessels.  She obeyed, and as she poured into the empty pots, the oil was multiplied.  The oil continued to multiply as long as there was an empty receptacle.  The miracle was only limited by what she had room to receive. She had know stinking thinking, only her belief that something good was about to happen.

If you are to fulfill your spiritual calling, you must put aside stinking thinking.  Open your heart and mind to an unlimited God with unlimited resources that He longs to bestow upon you.  Everywhere Abraham set his foot, God gave it to him.  He will do the same for you spiritually.

Get rid of the limits you have placed on God.  He is not limited, except by your stinking thinking.  Your destiny is bigger than you think.  God has greater plans for you than you can imagine.

Rise up today in the spirit world.  Walk through “the land” of your household, your ministry, your community, and your nation.  As an heir of the Abrahamic covenant, God has declared: “I will give it unto you!”  Claim it in the name of Jesus.  Get rid of your stinking thinking!
