BLESSED BY GOOD THOUGHTS

My Dear Precious Child,
     In his letter to the Philippians written when he was in prison Paul told the church members that he loved them and that they were his delight and his crown, and that they must stand firm in Me.  He encouraged two women to work in unity and harmony and he challenged the men in the church to help those women because they had toiled along with Paul in spreading the Good News along with Clement and the rest of the workers whose names were written in the Book of Life by being born of the Holy Spirit and baptized in the Holy Spirit.  Having been confined with chains Paul depended upon many different people for doing his evangelistic work so that he could spend time in writing to the churches his wisdom and knowledge that he gained from Me to help them in their efforts toward being molded into My image by their having the mind of Christ in them.  To have the mind of Christ is to always choose thoughts of faith in Me instead of choosing worrying and fretting thoughts from hell.
     Paul encouraged the members of the church at Philippi to rejoice in the Lord and again he told them to rejoice, knowing that rejoicing brings blessings and peace.  He knew that rejoicing words from your mouth or in our mind will cause worry and fretting thoughts to leave because the demons behind the evil thoughts can't stand for you to rejoice in Me.  It deafens their ears.   Another brotherly command was that they be known for their unselfishness, which he had also written to the church members at Thessalonica.  He wanted them to be known for their forbearance and their generous behavior toward other people. (Philippians 4:4-5)
    Paul's next advice was for them to not fret or worry about anything, but instead in every situation and circumstance that they pray and petition Me for their needs with thanksgiving to Me, continuing to make their wants known to Me. (Philippians 4:6-7) His teaching mirrored the teaching of Jesus Christ in one of His very first teachings where Jesus gave His disciples exactly the same advice, that they should choose not to be fretful or anxious about anything such as daily needs, but instead Jesus told them to seek Me and My kingdom and everything that they needed, wanted or desired would be added to their lives.(Matthew 6:24-34)  Paul's similar advice told the church members that refusing to fret and worry would allow My peace to transcend all of the logical and reasoning thoughts that had invaded their minds from hell in an effort to capture their minds and turn them away from their having peace in the minds and hearts the same way that I taught through Christ Jesus.  In that same teaching by Jesus Christ he said that it's a matter of choosing who is your master, whether it's the demons of worry and fretting or if it's Me with My assurance that I will supply every one of your needs, wants and desires.  It's a matter of whose words you allow to take up residence in your mind, either the words of the worrying and fretful demons from hell or My words of peace from the Holy Spirit. 
   You must always remember that the battle between good forces and evil forces is always a battle for your mind, a battle between which spirits will occupy your mind because what a person treasures in his mind and heart determines what forces rule every area of the person's life, either good forces or evil forces.  (Matthew 6:19-23)
     As far as the rest of your thoughts, Paul told the followers of Jesus Christ in the Philippians church that they should only choose certain thoughts that are injecting themselves into their minds, those being thoughts of Truth, reverence, honor, justice, purity, loving, lovable, kind, gracious, unselfish, charitable, virtuous, praiseworthy, always thinking of other people's needs above their own, that they should fix their mind on those kinds of thoughts.  He said to practice what they had learned from Paul and model their ways after what he had taught them and demonstrated to them, as taught to Paul by the Holy Spirit.  He said if they had control of their thoughts, as advised by Paul and Jesus, that I and My peace would be constantly with them and envelop their mind.  Paul had found that level of peace in his life, even though he was imprisoned and in chains.  (Philippians 4:7-9)
    Paul's advice mirrored the advice of Jesus Christ.  There is no better confirmation than My words through My Son Jesus Christ. 
    Your Father of Confirmed Truth
