The mind is the battlefield where the battles you face in life are won or lost. There is victory or bondage depending on the thoughts that you think. It depends on you. What you think and what you say will have an impact on your life.
I am reminded of what Joyce Meyers said in her sermon, ‘Set your mind and keep it there.’ She said, “There is NO bondage that can develop in your life unless you give your mind over to the thinking that will develop that bondage.”
The reverse of that is also true. If you want victory, then change the way you think and change your life. Reroute your focus to better thoughts. Your thoughts will take you to where you are thinking. The ‘Law of Thoughts’ (I call it) works every time. It is really the “Law of Seed Time and Harvest”. What you sow into your mind you will reap the harvest of it. You’ve heard it, ‘Garbage in – Garbage out’. Know that what you think on, you will reap the rewards or the consequences of those thoughts. The choice is yours.
If you are in bondage, please understand that it is by thinking wrong thoughts that brought you there. Thoughts that may have been placed there by words spoken over you by others or yourself, it can also be things that you perceived as truth and believed it. Reroute your focus and choose your thoughts well. Thoughts took you to bondage and good choice of thoughts can bring you out of bondage.
As you think AGAINST, let me say that again…AGAINST, the thoughts that bind, it will release those strongholds and you begin the process of setting yourself free. Your words have a part to play in this as well. Think and speak words that produce life and good and come up out of that wrong mindset. Best words you can speak are words that are in line with God and His Love for you. (I have suggested scriptures below).
You may ask, “How does that happen?” It’s the attention you give it. With your attention, you create bigness into it. Thoughts are alive and they need your attention to be able to grow and produce what you are thinking. If you want to be free of the bondage of where wrong thinking has brought you, then you must stop giving those thoughts the attention needed to survive. Instead give attention to thoughts that are good, honest, true and thoughts with good purpose then you will see those bad thoughts die from starvation of no attention.
When you make the choice to be free. Think thoughts that bring life, good, and purpose and redirect your life to victory. God has set into motion the laws needed for us to succeed in life. (Deuteronomy 30:19) So choose life words, choose life thoughts.
Be careful what you think because you will become and act out what you think. See the scripture references below.
We are to take responsibility of what we think. What we give attention to…is filling up in our minds. What are you filling up with? Know that it will show up in your life. Whether good or bad. Choose good, life thoughts and see the difference it will make in your life and in the lives of others around you.
