2.5 Forming the Call Simplified

[Abayomi]

I think if i could have my thoughts reformed in one way to see myself differently would be for God to deal with anxieties, fear, doubts, and have them replaced with boldness, confidence and the move of the Holy Spirit in my life.

[Karlena]

I have come a long way in having my thoughts reformed from where I was 28 years ago. At that time, my thoughts were so distorted that I started to carry around a “truth book” with me. Every time I had a thought about myself, I would write it down. Then, I would compare it with the word of God. This really helped me to harness unhealthy thoughts and align myself with what God really thought about me.

[Dolores]

If I could have my thoughts reformed in one way to see myself differently, I would want to see all the authority I walk in through Christ. I know I have authority but sometimes I doubt myself, not Jesus, but myself. There are so many times I want to walk up to someone and pray for healing and sometimes I don’t because fear creeps in. What if they aren’t healed right away? Have I then done a disservice to my Lord? Was my faith not strong enough? Will they walk away with even more doubt? Understanding and clearly seeing the power of His might on my life in service and seeing myself as someone walking in the FULL authority and glory of God to affect many and knowing that I am capable and giving all honor and praise to Him.

[Maria]

I think the one way I would like my thoughts to be reformed is that I would have less anxiety and just flat out emotions. That doesn’t mean I don’t want emotions it’s just that sometimes they can be a bit overwhelming when there’s so many all at once. I mean it’s good to be able to control how I’m feeling and I’m finally seeing that God can use how I’m feeling for his glory.

Maria, thanks for sharing. It can be hard when your emotions are so powerful that you wish you could just wish them away. However, being a strong “feeler” makes you good at relating to others and as you grow in emotional intelligence, an incredible friend and listening ear. It is good that you already understand how God can use your feelings for his glory.
