STINKING THINKING

  • LATELY THE LORD HAS REALLY BEEN DISCIPLINING  AND TEACHING ME ABOUT MY FOCUS AND THOUGHTS. HOW OUR EMOTIONS ARE SO ENTANGLED BY WHAT WE ARE DAILY THINKING ON AND WHAT GOES INTO OUR MIND.
WITH THE WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY BEING SO FAST PACED AND TARGETED TO FEED OUR MINDS CONSTANTLY,  WE HAVE TO SOMETIMES JUST BREAK AWAY AND REGROUP.
WHETHER THAT IS SHUTTING OFF OUR DEVICES FOR A WHILE OR GETTING AWAY TO A PLACE OF QUIET AND SOLITUDE. WE HAVE TO BE SO CAREFUL TO GUARD OUR HEARTS AND SOUL AND FIND TIMES OF REFRESHMENT.
EVEN JESUS HAD TO GO OFF BY HIMSELF TO PRAY AND SEEK SOLITUDE AND TO HEAR FROM HIS FATHER’S HEART.
Is the glass half empty or half full?
YOU HAVE HEARD THE SAYING THE GLASS HALF EMPTY AND HALF FULL. IT S ALL HOW WE LOOK AT THINGS. YOU CAN SEE THINGS TWO WAYS.: NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE. IT IS OUR CHOICE.
WHEN WE ARE GOING THROUGH SITUATIONS WE CAN CHOOSE TO LOATHE IN SELF PITY OR TO RISE UP AND PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS NO MATTER WHAT.
A HEART OF GRATITUDE IS A LIFE CHANGER…
WHEN WE CATCH OURSELVES THINKING TOO MUCH IS WHEN IT IS TIME TO GET INTO HIS WORD , PUT ON WORSHIP MUSIC OR JUST GET ON OUR KNEES AND START PRAYING . JUST TO WHISPER HIS NAME,IMMEDIATELY OUR ATMOSPHERE CHANGES AND HIS PRESENCE FILLS THE ROOM.
SO TRAINING TAKES PRACTICE AND TO LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE IN HIM IS A PROCESS FOR SOME. SOME HAVE MASTERED THIS QUICKLY WHILE OTHERS IT IS A  SLOW GROWING PROCESS.
            PSALM 34:1
           I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
THE LORD’S BAROMETER
THE WORLD HAS SO MUCH TO OFFER US THROUGH THE MEDIA,  RADIO, MAGAZINES, COMMERCIALS, THAT OUR BRAINS CAN’T HANDLE THE OVERLOAD. WE TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL.  WE DECIDE WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS NOT BY GOING BY GOD’S BAROMETER. OUR PEACE COMES FROM HIM. WHEN WE ARE TRULY LINKED UP TO HIM NO MATTER WHAT THE WORLD SAYS….WE USUALLY HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT SAY YES THIS IS THE WAY OR NO STAY AWAY!!!!
  • Romans 12:2:
    “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” This verse highlights the importance of renewing our minds with God’s Word to discern His will and live in a way that pleases Him.
    HOW AND WHAT WE FEED ON CAN AFFECT OUR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH.
  • Proverbs 4:23:
    “Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” This proverb emphasizes that our thoughts and intentions are the source of our actions and behaviors.

    DO YOU NOTICE HOW YOUR MIND AND BODY ARE AFFECTED WHEN IT IS NOT AT REST BUT FULL OF CONFUSION AND DISMAY?? WHAT AND HOW WE FEED ON AFFECTS OUR BODIES PHYSICALLY. IT CAN HINDER OUR WALK WHEN WE SPEAK DEATH AND NOT LIFE. OR ALWAYS GOING AROUND COMPLAINING, GRUMBLING, OR SPEAKING NEGATIVE VS POSITIVE OR WORDS OF LIFE AND BLESSING.

  • 2 Corinthians 10:5:
    “We are taking every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ.” This verse emphasizes that we can consciously choose to discipline our thoughts and align them with God’s will. 
  • Isaiah 26:3:
    “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on you, because they trust in you.” This verse connects peace with trusting in God and focusing our minds on Him.

NO MATTER WHAT STORM YOU MAY BE GOING  THROUGH RIGHT NOW…..KNOW WHO IS YOUR PEACE AND IN WHOM YOUR PEACE LIES. HE HAS SO MANY WONDERFUL AND MARVELOUS THINGS TO SHARE AND SHOW YOU.!!!

  • Isaiah 55:9:
    “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” This verse emphasizes that God’s thoughts are superior to our own and encourages us to seek His perspective.

AS ALWAYS I ENCOURAGE YOU IF YOU ARE FEELING SO ALONE IN A BATTLE ….KNOW THE BATTLE IS THE LORD’S AND NOT YOURS. CAST ALL YOUR CARES  ON HIM….YOUR BURDEN BEARER…HE IS REACHING OUT TO YOU …YOUR LIFELINE. IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE YOU ARE READING THIS RIGHT NOW. I TAKE THESE POSTS SERIOUSLY AND PRAY OVER THEM AND THE LORD KNOWS WHO NEEDS TO HEAR THIS..  I WILL LEAVE THIS SIMPLE PRAYER BUT HONESTLY THE LORD KNOWS YOUR HEART’S CRY AND REACH OUT TO HIM . HE WILL NEVER REJECT YOU….

IN HIS LOVE,
