Train Your Thoughts

Make sure your thoughts are lining up with the Word of God. As Philippians 4:8-9 says, “8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”
Regardless of what we go through, we can’t forget that He who promised is faithful.(Hebrews 10:23). We can't let what God has already told us be drowned out by testing situations. We have to learn how to take negative mentalities and align them back up with what the Word of God says. God’s Word is true and it’s impossible for Him to fail. We have to remind ourselves on a daily and throughout the day that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.(Philippians 4:13). The Word must stay embedded in our hearts and minds so we can keep moving forward the way God wants us to. I want to encourage you all to begin to speak the Word of God aloud and remind yourself of what God said about your life. Every time a negative thought tries to enter your mind shut it down by speaking the Word of God. Begin to see yourself at the end desired result. Know that God sees everything and knows everything so we have to keep trusting in Him with all we have. So don’t get discouraged by what looks to be a bad situation but be reminded that God can change your situations in a moment. Know that even when it doesn’t seem like it, God is working on your behalf. Even when you don’t understand, God already has an answer for your situation. So rejoice always (1 Thessalonians 5:16)! Everything will fall into place if you keep allowing God to lead you. Stay focused on God, what he said about your life, the dreams he’s placed in you, and never let a temporary situations cause you to forget about our faithful unchanging permanent God. Go all the way, no excuses! -Stay Encouraged.
