"For MY THOUGHTS are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY WAYS, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isa 55:8-9)
- Believers vs. Sinners (Unbelievers).
Many might think this scripture was for believers, and it's NOT so. God is addressing those (i.e., the prodigals) that have fallen and gone in the thoughts and ways of other gods. God Himself said that as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are the ways and thoughts of all those that have the indwelling of His Holy Spirit. Christ Jesus said in John 7:38 that: "He that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said, OUT OF HIS BELLY (spirit/heart) SHALL FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER." This "Rivers of Living Water" are the thoughts of God that is guiding and guarding our thoughts!
- Thinking Right.
"Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David." (vs 3) ...
When all our thoughts are in synch with what is flowing from within our hearts, our ways are definitely established. It then becomes an open door(s) which NO MAN can shut forever. "So shall My(our) word be that goeth forth out of My(our) mouth: it shall not return unto me(us) void, but it shall accomplish that which I(we) please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I(we) sent it." (vs 11)
- Walking Right.
"For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." (vs 12) ...
When all our thoughts are the thoughts of God, our hearts will be filled with JOY! It's the overflow of the Holy Spirit of God. And when this Joy is in overflow, we walk peacefully even in trials and stormy situations. "Then he said unto them, GO YOUR WAY, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; FOR THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR(our) STRENGTH." (Neh 8:10)
- Repent!
"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him RETURN unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." (vs 7) ...
Many are in the churches today that their tongues say things not in line with their heart. These people are nothing but deceivers according to James 1:26 "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain." There are so-called believers amongst us that are in deception, having a two-tongued mouth. They are simply little serpents crawling around looking for whom to bite with poison. Their tongues negatively energizes the atmosphere to perceive those that are weak in faith.
