CHILL AND REMEMBER #902 / WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS

CHILL OUT AND REMEMBER

In the early days of a ministry in Mount Vernon, before we built the Christian Center, we had our Church office in a rented house. One day, heading to my office, I passed the bedroom where my associate had his office, and I saw him with his feet up on his desk, leaning back with his eyes closed.
I thought, hey man, you could be doing something; what's up?
So, of course, I ask him, and his reply has stayed with me all these years.
Pastor, I'm just thinking.
As it turned out, that was one of his strong suits; he had a way of thinking about things that were an amazing tool as we formed our first years of ministry.
I never again ask him that question.
Thinking is a form of remembering when we chill out and take time to remember the promises of God that he is the source of all wisdom; that's when new revelation comes to us.
When king David meditated upon his bed, it was on the Lord and his greatness and faithfulness to him. That remembering always sets us up for Victory, and our faith is renewed because of his promises.
David said in Psalms 20:7, "some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God."
Why is it important to remember that?
Because it sets the perimeter of what can and cannot happen, when we remember the name of the Lord, we also remember the power and authority we have in that name. Because of that, we stand bold and strong against the lies and temptations of the evil one.
Because we remember who Jesus is and what he did for us, we are not tempted to doubt our ability and authority that we have because of the cross in the resurrection.
To not remember is deadly because it leaves us open to deception and the enemy's tricks.
When our mind is fixed on God and his promises, there is no room for doubt in our thinking and our believing.
