Hey Sister!
What do you think about God? The picture of God that we hold in our minds and hearts can either stimulate or sabotage our spiritual growth potential. God wants us to know the TRUTH of who He is, so we can live free and fulfilled in Him! But the enemy knows that if our picture of God is not the way God really is and if he can mess up our thoughts about God – then our relationships with God, with others, and with our own selves will be messed up too.
What's weird is that even when we have a lot of biblical and correct informational knowledge about God (which is a good thing!), as we live our everyday lives, very often our thoughts, feelings, and actions are actually being influenced by different thoughts about God -- thoughts that don't match what we say we know about God!
In this episode, we talk about where our understanding of God comes from, how to begin to recognize the different pictures of God we may have, and what to do when our thoughts about God don't match the truth that God has revealed about himself in the Bible and in Jesus. Join me as we uncover the source of confusion in our thoughts about God and renew our minds in Christ!
Joy to you!

Mentions -- Romans 12:2, Genesis 3:1-6, Psalm 46:10, Psalm 139:1-4, John 1:18, and 1 Corinthians 13:12 (I referred to this verse as it is translated in the KJV, probably because that's the way I learned it as a young child, but I like the way the NLT explains our ability to know and understand, saying it this way, "Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.") Amen!
Going Deeper -- A great little classic book on God's attributes and their meaning in the Christian life is "The Knowledge of the Holy" by A.W. Tozer. His opening sentence says, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us."
