OUR THOUGHTS

It's often the small things that no one sees that result in the big things that everyone wants. 

Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV) For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

Your life will always move in the direction of the thoughts you've embraced.

•  If you think you can’t—you probably won’t.

•  If you dwell on problems—they'll overwhelm you.

•  If you feel like a victim—you'll become one.

•  If you think you can—you probably will.

•  If you look for opportunities—you'll likely see them.

•  If you believe you're an overcomer—you'll end up overcoming.

Life always moves in the direction of the thoughts you've embraced. 

Romans 12:2 (NLT) Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn [move towards] to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK?

•  Capture destructive thoughts.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NIV) For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Strongholds, in the Greek, means “a prisoner locked by deception.” We live our life on a lie. We are to demolish the lies.

Fix your thoughts on spiritual things.

Philippians 4:8-9 (NLT) 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 . . . .Then the God of peace will be with you.

Are you a vulture or hummingbird? Vultures look for dead things. Hummingbirds look for sweet things. You'll find whatever you're looking for.

What is the one thought that could change the course of your life?
