We invite you to participate with us in a daily devotional time called “Your Daily Bread.” These daily devotions will come to you via our podcast network. It is through these daily podcasts that we hope you use to allow God to minister to your daily need enabling you to walk each and every day in the spirit of Christ.
Hello, my name is Paul, and I am the voiceover for a ministry provided to you by Jim Pugh at God is Government called Your Daily Bread, taken from Christ's teaching of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6, verse 11. This is a daily devotion ministry focused not only on uplifting Scripture, but scripture that will grow your spiritual connection with Christ. We hope that you receive these devotions to uplift you, encourage you, but most importantly, advance your knowledge base of the Holy Scriptures. Today's focus discussion will be on understanding that it is through our thoughts that do the asking of Christ. When we decided to come into this physical life experience, we were given four attributes of the heavenly angels. One of these was the ability to have discriminating intellect. This attribute gave us the ability to think and to choose the thoughts we wanted and what we experienced in life. It also created an avenue for disconnect between our ability of thought and that which the Spirit wanted to flow through us. When we were born, the only knowledge we had was that of our source through our soul, which directed us until we allowed other physical beings to program our minds from their thoughts instead. We began at a very young age to allow those individuals, parents, teachers, friends, and other influential people surrounding us to dissuade us from our own powerful impulses. This process over a long period of time convinced us that their practiced way was far better than the way of our spiritual influence from our soul. We found it easier just to adapt to their ideas as to what was best for us, rather than trying to figure things out for ourselves. In allowing this to happen, we have relinquished the most basic foundations given to us by our source. Our total and absolute freedom to create, think. This reminds me of a chess game where we are both players and the king is our life. We make a move with spirit, then make a move with self and vice versa, until we end up checkmating our own thoughts and ability to create. In fact, I call this the terrible twos or threes, whichever the case may be. The rebellious nature of a child going through this transformation of their pure spirit-filled thoughts as they fight with parents as to what they feel is right. While each of us went through this process, this freedom provided in spirit never went away. It is at the center of our inner being. However, the transformation as an early child and the continued programming even as adults have caused our chess match to become a war between our ego and our spirit. Depending on what state we have allowed our thoughts to formulate an idea, in ego or in spirit, will determine exactly what we attract into our life experiences. It is this formulation of the idea, our thoughts, that sends the vibration frequency out to the universe, asking for that which we are thinking of, that which we may want or that which we may not want. What parents failed to do early with their children was to teach them that they live in a duality world in this physical life form. They are to think the thoughts provided to them of the spirit and integrate with other physical beings at the same time. It is in this understanding of a duality world where we come to know that our thoughts drive our life experiences. For if we had only one dimension of our physical form, either physical or spirit, not both, then we would only have thoughts driven by that dimension. But since we have a duality world, our soul is in constant communication with our source 100% of the time, wanting to flow thoughts through us. And our minds think that which we direct it to think, regardless of whether it be in spirit or not, the mind war we created. The other thing parents failed to do with their children was to teach them that only they could control their life experiences. No other person can create their life experiences, and they are free to make their own choices. Had parents done this with their children, then they would have been more closely aligned with source to co-create their world, beginning as a young child. We can continue with this mind war we have created, or we can begin applying the universal laws in our life. By utilizing the universal laws we become free, allowing our spirit to flow through us in our thoughts, creating the positive desires we wish for. This choice should be a simple one to make. If we want to live in spirit being aligned with our source, to be able to co-create the environment that is full of love, joy, kindness, abundance, great health, etc., etc., etc., then we must begin to focus our thoughts on what it is we want, instead of what it is we don't want. Whatever we are thinking about is what will be manifested into our life experience. It is law. It is here that the mental laws we discussed in chapter 3 of the book, titled Universal Relationship Laws of God, play a very significant role. We are given the choice of thought and action. We can choose at any point in time to change those thoughts or actions if they are not what we wish for. All the mental laws applying to thought processes are apparent in our everyday life, but we choose not to utilize them when we need to. It is here that the law of attraction gets misunderstood. We are in total control over our thoughts, and it is our thoughts that send the vibration signal out to the universe to supply our requests. However, when we want something and ask for something else, thinking we are asking for what we want, we will get what we do not want. So it is in our thought patterns where we need to work on making sure our thoughts are on exactly what we want, and if not, shift the thoughts to something that we do want. Thank you for joining us in this exploration of understanding that it is through our thoughts that do the asking of Christ. Until next time, remember to keep the faith, stay strong, and continue to shine your light in the world. To hear these daily devotions of your daily bread, please log on to goddessgovernment.com.
