did you know that we can make "mountains out of molehills" just by thinking negatively? negative thinking tends to blow things out of proportion. when we think this way we begin to view things larger and more difficult than they really are. when i think negatively i magnify the unpleasant or undesirable aspects of a situation or my circumstances and i fail to see anything good in it. i don't know but it's possible that you as well play out this same routine in your mind. the mind becomes conditioned, almost trained to gravitate towards this type of thinking, especially if you've been practicing this over a long period of time....it's as if it is an automatic reaction. i know personally i am this way, and i must consciously put forth the effort to make myself see the good, and the positive. every person's life and even our circumstances include more good than bad, if we simply determine to personally think positive thoughts as opposed to negative thoughts. there is such power in the mind far more than we realize. satan does not wish for us to realize the capacity in which our minds can control our lives. God wants us to know and wants us to learn to automatically dwell upon Him from which all things that are good come from. "But, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."-Galatians 5:22-23. also, it says in Philippians 4:8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
All that is contained in each of these verses are positive. we must think on such things...i must think on such things. even if it does not come natural to do so, i must, because in doing so it will place my mind in the right place, it will begin the process of using the Spirit of God and the positive thoughts upon which He stands to fight against the lies of satan. satan cannot win as long as we cling to God, speak His word, and pray with a heart that believes. satan only buzzes around trying to scare us into believing that he can sting again, but God removed that sting on the cross. i and if you struggle with this must make it a point to breathe in God and His voice which is the voice of truth and breathe out fear and doom which comes directly from satan. we must lean on God for His strength, and allow Him to embrace us and saturate us with His love, friendship, grace and truth. remember God speaks in love, and truth. satan speaks in fear and lies. we must listen to the voice of truth, think positive, and not allow ourselves to think negatively, we must not allow ourselves to make "mountains out of molehills." think on the Love of God, all of the love that covers us who believe. remember His words are full of love, He expressed the most unconditional love ever on the cross. satan wishes for us to forget about this, to concentrate on the hardships of life,etc., but, God wants us to remember that His grace covers us, His mercy endures, His goodness never ends, His love is unconditional, and His voice is the voice of TRUTH.
O The Deep Deep Love Of Jesus
