[Feature Story] Way of God’s Answers and Blessings How can we change our way of thinking?



If we stick to our own existing way of thinking, it is impossible for us to find spiritual answers.
Because you have thoughts in a fleshly way, no matter how trivial things they are, such thoughts have been accumulating and the way to fleshly thoughts has been built.

The answers and blessings you can receive when you first close the doors of thoughts, and pray fervently with the practice to change your thoughts into spiritual thoughts!




“Having a positive way of thinking, seeing everything with faith, rejoicing and giving thanks is the way of answers and blessings”

What is a positive way of thinking in the Lord?
It refers to not seeing problems or trials in the reality of the situation, but with faith seeing oneself who will be changed through the series of problems and expecting blessings to come after passing through the trials. Let’s suppose someone betrayed you. You must not rancor in pain thinking, ‘How dare you deceive me?’ Instead you’d be much better off trying to realize the love of God, see him with spiritual love, and change the thought. Are you stuck in a difficult situation? Then, expect to grow more maturely and have a broader mind that embraces every single thing through the incident.
If there are no workers who enthusiastically work with you together, why don’t you make it an opportunity to experience the power of God who can make you stronger? It is to note that while achieving a sanctified heart, you might lose heart and feel disheartened because of evil found in you. Even in this case, think about your future self that will be changed quickly and give thanks.
When you change your thought in a positive way, see everything with faith and recognize God, He will pour blessings upon what you do in faith.


“Only by fervent prayer with the practice to change fleshly thoughts into spiritual thoughts!”

Habitual pattern of thinking creates automatic reaction when we see something. Suppose you see someone who is extroverted and you think he is acing up. This is because you usually feel that way when you see people like him. Also, if you repeatedly have conflicts with someone, it may be because you do not take notice of their strong points within your own fleshly thoughts, which hinders you from drawing closer to them. In order to change the way of thinking that interfering fleshly thoughts has formed, you should try to ‘close the door to the thoughts’ first.
Above all, take an objective view of yourself. Imagine that you are watching yourself and there are doors around you. When untruthful thoughts come to you, close the door to the untruthful thought and change the thought into a spiritual thought. If you practice it constantly and try to close the doors of thoughts, such thoughts cannot force their way through even a single try of ‘closing the door’.
Together with the practice, you try to change your thoughts into spiritual thoughts. So, the doorway to fleshly thoughts will vanish and the way to spiritual thoughts will be made open. When you pray fervently with such an effort, you will be able to experience the power of God in the help of the Holy Spirit.
