Elevate your Thinking

ELEVATE YOUR THINKING   If you think you can or you think you can't, either way, you're right! Why is this the case? It is because your thoughts shape your decisions, your decisions dictate your actions, and God either blesses you or judges you based upon what you do or fail to do. It all starts in the mind. Our thought life is so important .Many Christian authors have approached this subject. James Allen said, "You are today where you thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where you thoughts take you."  Dr. Miles Munroe said, "You are a grand sum total of your decisions." Since our actions are results of our decisions and our decisions are results of our thoughts, we can see why our thoughts are important. Dr. John Maxwell said, "One of the reasons people don't achieve their dreams is that they desire to change their results without changing their thinking." Your thinking is directly tied to your success in Christ. If you come to God as a fool and don't change the way you think, but you want God to bless you with a business; then all you will be is a fool with a business. You know what the result is going to be when a fool runs a business – failure!  If you come to God as a womanizer and don't change the way you think about women, but you want Him to bless you with a wife, then you will be a womanizer with a wife. You know what the results of that will be – failure! And I could go on. We must have the desire and the discipline to change our thinking if we are to experience the best God has to offer.   So what does this mean to you today? It means that God will not force Himself upon you because He has limited Himself to work within the framework of your decisions. He will never override your human will. So then, there is a direct link between what you think, what you believe, the decisions that you make, and what you will be able to accomplish in life through the power of God. Elevate your thinking and you will elevate your life! Confession for this day: Lord God. I walk in Your love and Your grace today. I fill my mind with things that are true, not lies; things that are noble, not naughty; things that are beautiful, not ugly; with the best and not the worst. I sow faith thoughts and reap faith actions. I sow faith actions and reap faith habits. I sow faith habits and reap my destiny!. Jesus' name.   Amen!
