let’s start with thoughts: thought filters

November 20.      Acts ch 12-14

LET’S START WITH THOUGHTS (Thought Filters or sifts)

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 NIV

GOOD DAY: Today, let us meditate on filters. The most common thing we identify filters with is flour. We pass our flour through the sift with the size of hole we want so that our flour can be as fine as we desire. Grains of bigger size than the hole size of the sieve will not go through. The holes in the spirit realm are the attributes of our thought. Your mind should be guarded with permissible ways to run your thoughts. The choice of the ways you run your thoughts are left to you to make but the Holy Spirit advises us on the filters for our choice. 

Various ideas that will come to mind should be filtered by answering the questions of how each idea agrees with the criteria in our scripture for meditation today. First, does my desire pass through the filters? If the desire does, then how do I get it? Each way of achieving it should fit the model in the scripture above as well. When I wanted to start practicing this, I used the last attribute to begin my filtering. Is the way praiseworthy that I don’t feel shame sharing it? If there is a resistance in sharing it because it is shameful then I drop the idea and take it out of my thoughts. Many people come to testify of the outcome without saying how they got there because the process is laced with shameful acts that cannot be mentioned in public. 

Today, look into your heart. Be aware of thoughts that come into your mind. See the ones that stay and you give room to them and filter them through the sieve above. Observe the emotions or feelings the thoughts produce in you as well. Let those too pass through the sieve. Then decide whether you should continue in the thought or not. 

PRAY: Dear Lord Jesus Christ, thank You that You are the prince of peace and You have told me how to enter into Your peace. Make me obedient dear Lord to Your instructions.
