Lesson 318: OUR THOUGHTS AND THE GOD OF PEACE

INTRODUCTION:
The thoughts lay the wires, which presently convey the message, as you think so you are almost without it. In this study we are going to talk on two aspects: (i) The important of thoughts and (ii) The secret of the indwelling presence of God of peace. May the Lord bless us richly as we study at His feet in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.

1. THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR THOUGHTS

To bring the blessed dove to brood in the nest of our souls our thoughts must be right. Thought is important because it has a reflex effect upon the whole character and because we naturally pursue our ideals. Phil. 4:7-8; Act. 8:19-21; Pro. 15:26; Isa. 55:6; Matt. 15:19-20; I Cor. 6:19-20; Rom. 1:28-30.

2. THE SECRET OF THE INDWELLING PRESENCE OF THE GOD OF PEACE

Allow the six angels (i.e.) True, Honest, Just, Pure, Lovely, Good report to come into your soul, give the entire control of your nature up their scene, God abides where the heart is kept free from evil thoughts Phil. 4:8; Pro. 12:19; Mal. 2:6; Deut. 25:15; Rom. 12:17; Col. 4:1; Deut. 16:20; Psalm 24:3-4; Matt. 5:8; Heb. 13:1-3.
