Think Like God

Jesus said in Matthew 16:23 that when we think like men, we become our own stumbling block. What we think and how we think are very important. Wrong thinking will inevitably trip us up. We need to get rid of our old way of thinking like mere men and have a fresh way of thinking. We need to think like God.

Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

This book is the scholarly & fully annotated edition of the award-winning The Illustrated To Think Like God. To Think Like God focuses on the emergence of philosophy as a speculative science, tracing its origins to the Greek colonies of Southern Italy, from the late 6th century to mid-5th century B.C. Special attention is paid to the sage Pythagoras and his movement, the poet Xenophanes of Colophon, and the lawmaker Parmenides of Elea. In their own ways, each thinker held that true insight, whether as wisdom or certainty, belonged not to mortal human beings but to the gods.The Pythagoreans sought to approach this otherwordly knowledge by studying numerical relationships, believing them to govern the universe, and that those who know the number of a thing know its true nature. Yet their quest was a hopeless one, bogged down by cultism, numerology, political conspiracies, bloody uprisings, and exile. Above all, number did not turn out as the most reliable of mediums; it was certainly not a key to the realm of the divine. Thus, their contributions to philosophy's inception, while much better-publicized, was not the most significant. That particular role was reserved for an unusual challenge and the elaborate reaction it provoked.

Behind every great movement of God stands a few generous men and women called Gospel Patrons.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The late, beloved Rachel Held Evans answers many children's first question about God in this gorgeous picture book, fully realized by her friend Matthew Paul Turner, the bestselling author of When God Made You. Children who are introduced to God, through attending church or having loved ones who speak about God, often have a lot of questions, including this ever-popular one: What is God like? The late Rachel Held Evans loved the Bible and loved showing God’s love through the words and pictures found in that ancient text. Through these pictures from the Bible, children see that God is like a shepherd, God is like a star, God is like a gardener, God is like the wind, and more. God is a comforter and support. And whenever a child is unsure, What Is God Like? encourages young hearts to “think about what makes you feel safe, what makes you feel loved, and what makes you feel brave. That's what God is like.”

When you discover how to think like God, you will deal with issures like God does and you will have victory over the things you may have been struggling with your entire life, including: Rejection. Negativity. Sickness. Fear. Impure Thoughts. Many Christians seek God's wisdom, but have not been successful in receiving life-fullfilling answers. Author Warren Hunter teaches you how to operate with the mindset of Jesus when He was on the earth.Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men (Philippians 2:5-7 NKJV).Think Like God reveals God's plan for your thought life based on His Word. It is time to Think Like God, overcome your past, and set forth your fantastic future--today!

Can mortal humans think like an immortal God? I say yes we can! This is the desire of all Christians – to be like their Father. Overcoming the limitations of your mind and capturing the mind of God will propel you into a life that is not of this world. It is the mind of God that will help us deal with situations that would cause many to give up on life; It is the mind of God that will give us peace that goes beyond anything we can explain; it is the mind of God that makes us see beyond our restrictions and believe that we can do all things. I challenge you today to start your process and begin to think like God.

In this book, I assert that the ONLY thing Christians should think about is Christ's obedience and its implications. This material details Scriptures and assertions about God's thought life, the sinner’s thought life, and the Christian’s thought life. In 2 Corinthians 10:5, the Apostle Paul reveals that God's weapons for the believer "are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations, bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Christ." This book lists ten of the things that Holy Scripture claims about "the obedience of Christ," namely, Christ obeyed for the church’s eternal security; Christ obeyed with an attitude of selflessness; Christ obeyed without justice and without children; Christ obeyed, not glorifying Himself; Christ obeyed for God’s benefit; Christ obeyed for our healing; Christ obeyed having His confidence in God; Christ obeyed even though he struggled to obey; Christ obeyed for His benefit; and Christ obeyed for our sins and sorrows. I encourage all to examine these Scriptural chapters and enjoy the content in the Holy Ghost.
