corners ahead, and pass through the boundaries of the
            “Dark Realm”.  Such skills are only revealed through the
            HOLY SPIRIT (I Corinthians 12:1-11). “Spiritual Thinking”
            combines  a  trio  of  anointed  gifts:  wisdom,  knowledge,
            and  discernment.  These  gifts  are  freely  given  by  the

            HOLY SPIRIT (I Corinthians 12:8-10).  Those who possess
            these gifts embrace these essential traits and habits:

                      Essential traits of “Spiritual Thinkers”
            1. They put GOD first in all they do!
            2. Their thinking conforms to GOD’s WORD!

            3. They love what GOD loves; hate what GOD hates.
            4. They reject all ideologies contrary to GOD’s WORD!
            5. They dwell in the Secret Place of the MOST HIGH.

            As  believers  we  must  challenge  ourselves  to  strive  to
            think spiritually.  “Spiritual Thinking” is  Godly thinking.
            Scripture  declares  (1  Corinthians  2:16);  “For  who  has
            known  the  mind  and  purposes  of  the  LORD,  so  as  to
            instruct  HIM?  But  we  have  the  mind  of  CHRIST  [to  be

            guided  by  His  thoughts  and  purposes].”      How  do  we
            seek the anointing of the gift of “Spiritual Thinking”?

            Nurturing “Spiritual Thinking”

            1.  “Spiritual  Thinkers”  put  GOD  first!  The  first
               commandment from GOD is to put nothing ahead of
               HIM (Exodus 20:3).  HIS ways supersede all political
               loyalties,  leisure  or  past-times,  race,  friends,  family
               and  even  our  spouses  and  children.    If  we  put
               anything  ahead  of  GOD,  we  risk  creating  idols  that
               can rob us of our anointing.  Not only will we forfeit
               “Spiritual Thinking”, we risk losing our ability for clear
