Your thought life determines your destiny...

Change your thoughts and...change your life! Our thought life determines our destiny. Thoughts are absorbed in our mind daily-we decide which ones will take shape, form and develop into what we believe or don't believe-keeping what we believe and tossing our what we don't believe. Thoughts come from two sources-God's truth or satan's lies. God has planned out every day of our life (Ps139:16), but satan works daily to come against God's good plans (Jer 29:11). Satan's weapon is planting thoughts-his lies in our mind. If we do not know God's truth we will believe lies, many know God's truth but entertain satan's partial truths resulting in being double minded (James1:8); which causes major anxiety. Make a decision today to begin to tear down satan's lies that have taken up residence in your mind-cheating you from the life that God has promised you. As you read this, satan is flooding you with lies-telling you the hurt you've caused, the wrong you've done, or coming at you with a partial truth that says, "sure God loves you...but He just can't use you." These are satan's thoughts-don't allow them to take shape, form and develop in your mind! You are God's masterpiece... He has good plans for you that He made long ago (Eph 2:10). You may not feel like this is true...but we don't decide if something is true or not based on how we feel-our feelings change throughout the day. We do not feel God's truth...we make a decision to believe His truth. God gives us His Word-speak it daily to believe and walk out His truth in life...renew your mind, meditate on, and speak His truths aloud (Rom12:2), ask God to search you and make you aware of what you're thinking that doesn't line up with His truth (Ps139:23-24), put on His armor (Eph6:10-18) and finally allow the Holy Spirit to do His job-giving you comfort, reassurance and God's confidence in you to live the life Jesus gave us (Jn 10:10). Where the Spirit of the Lord is...there is freedom (2Cor3:17). Blessings friend! 9/7/12CIFL-LMM
