EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

Have you ever heard this saying, “Your life is always moving in the direction of your strongest thoughts?” If we believe this and then understand it many of us might choose to refocus those penetrating thoughts.

If we can’t control what we think, we won’t be able to control what we do. Most of life’s battles are won or lost in our minds.

Many of us have things that hold our minds captive—whether it be wrong thought patterns, addictions, temptations, or whatever. We have to be careful not to believe the enemy’s lies. We need to remember God’s truths.

Fix your thoughts on what is true, noble, pure, and lovely. God says “think” on such things.
(Philippians 4:6)

I know when I’m going in the wrong direction with my thoughts, and because I have trained my mind, I am able to stop them. I don’t care how strong they come at me; I have God’s word to STOP THEM and redirect those thoughts. That is only by the POWER of God working in me. You can accomplish this also.

We need to train our minds.

“Write it. Think it. Confess it, then believe it,” is something I heard a Pastor once say, and it encouraged me to practice this.

Women of God, you are “free”- and not a hostage- to your thoughts.
God is all about truth. God is truth. God says, “We have not been given a spirit of fear, but of POWER and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

When those wrong thoughts arise in your mind, confess them immediately. God is faithful to forgive those thoughts and cleanse your mind.

Meditate on God’s Word daily. His word directs your path! (Psalm 119:105)

Be fruitful in your thinking today, and work on training your mind.
