Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are
just, whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are
of good report; if there be any
virtue, and if there be any
praise, think on these things.

The bible
encourages us to channel our thoughts correctly. Your thoughts could as a
matter of fact be destroying your life. Have you been around extremely negative
people, who believe nothing good can come their way? These thought patterns are
subconsciously embedded in the mind of such people.
Negative thoughts
can be contagious and positive thoughts likewise. I try as much as possible to stay with
positively minded Christians, who believe they will get through every situation
no matter how tough it seems.
The mind is
a fertile ground. What you allow seed in your mind grows and becomes fertile. If
we are able to filter out or weed out all negative thoughts we become more
fulfilled.
Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all
diligence; for out of it are
the issues of life.
The issues
of life consist of everything that makes us exist as living people i.e. health,
finance, spirituality, marriage, careers etc. if the devil can manipulate your
thoughts, then he has control over you.
There are
many ways negative thoughts get into our minds. The social media, television,
what you read, what you hear constantly are routes negative thoughts can permeate
into the mind. You need to know what access these unholy thoughts get into your
system and control it.
You cannot think something else and act another.
Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to
thee; but his heart is not with
thee.
Matthew
15:18-19 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from
the heart; and they defile the man. For
out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications,
thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Fill your
heart with beautiful thoughts, be thankful for each day, and be grateful for
what you have and those you have. Just as Jesus said,
Luke 6:45 A good man out of the
good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man
out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of
the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
Don’t dwell
on your unpaid bills, doctor’s report, sickness and pain, or all the things not
working in your life right now. Remember God is able to turn the situation around
for good. Meditate on God’s word which is able to give you life.
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of
thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt
make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
