Think About What You’re Thinking About

“ As he thinks within himself, so is he.”Proverbs 23:7

Many people are not reaching their potential

because their THINKING patterns are defective.

You cannot think negative thoughts and expect to live a positive life.

Your life will follow your thoughts.

Introduction

The Scripture says, “ Set your minds and keep them set on… the higher things.”Colossians 3:2 AMP

“ This is the day that the Lord is made and I’m going to be happy. I’m going to enjoy this day. I’m going to go out and be productive. I’m going to be a blessing to somebody, and this is going to be a great day in my life.’

Agree with the psalmist,

“ Throw off your old evil nature and your former way of

life, which is rotten through and through, full of lust and

deception. Instead, there must be a spiritual renewal of your

thoughts and attitudes.”

Ephesians 4:22-23

As you think, you will be.

“ Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength” Isaiah 40:31

Focus your thoughts on the One who has promised,

Dwell on the promises of God’s Word, you will be

filled with hope. You will develop a

positive attitude of faith.

The first place you must win the victory is in your own mind.

“ What I fear comes upon me, and what I dread befalls me.” Job 3:25

“ God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”

2 Timothy 1:7

Don’t give fear a thought

Your thoughts should be, I know something good is going to happen to me. I know God is at work in my life. I know my business is going to prosper. I know my family is going to thrive; my children are going to excel.

To meditate means to think about the same thing over

and over.

Conclusion

“ Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:5

Maintain a positive mind set

Learn to look for the

BEST in every situation.
