RENEW the MIND

This image of Spike Lee reminds me of strength-positive thoughts and focus!

Set our mind on things above. Those things that are pure, lovely, lovable, kind, winsome, and gracious. That simply means to continually choose 24/7 to keep our mind on positive things.

Ummm. Easy said then done, I know. Especially when lyfe's challenges weighs in on you and you developed a piss poor attitude of woe is me. So, how do you ascertain this thought of keeping your mind elevated? I'm glad you ask.

When we get bombarded with those thoughts like, If its discouraging, destructive, if it brings you fear, worry, doubt or unbelief, if the thought makes you feel weak, insecure or inadequate? Guess What? I can guarantee you those thoughts are not from above and you need to get rid of those thoughts immediately.

You see, when you dwell on the devil's lies and the negative takes roots it will create a stronghold in your mind that attacks your inner being. WOW. A Stronghold. What is a stronghold? I'm glad you asked: A stronghold is an incorrect thinking pattern that has molded itself into our way of thinking. These strongholds have the capability to affect our feelings, how we respond to various situations in life, and they play a large role in our spiritual freedom.

It is important for us to always make a quality choice to keep our mind focused on the good things so we can experience Gods very best for our lyfe. We have to be especially on guard during those crisis and challenging times to watch that our thoughts don't create strongholds. When trouble strikes, most of the time our minds are not set on positive thoughts.

Lets be real. How many of us have negative thoughts that have been running in a river flow in our minds for months, years and it just is eroding into a deeper river of negativity. Do you have the PESSIMISTIC stronghold? Never believing anything positive.

Forutntely, we all can redirect our flow. We can cause a new river to flow. One that is positive.

Friend, let me tell you, we don't have to sit back and allow negative, critical thoughts to influence our lyfe anymore.

Transform your lyfe by the RENEWING of your MIND. But remember, the river of negativity wasn't formed overnight, nor will it be redirected without some conscious effort.

So choose today to redirect your River and loose those strongholds.

You have a new river flowing!
