What You Say, Speak and Feel Really Affects Your Life

How often do we say things that aren't very positive for our life? How often do we look at our future and think, is my future really bright?

Oh, how our mind travels throughout the day. Some are good thoughts, and some are bad.

Do we really understand how our thoughts affect us?

For every thought that comes into our mind and does not line up with the word of God, are we taking that thought captive immediately?

The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy, and the No. 1 way he does that is by our thought life. The Bible says in Joshua 1:8 to meditate on the Word every day and night. The Lord is the strength of your mind, according to 1 Corinthians 2:16, so today think sound healthy thoughts. 

Don't let your mind take control over you, take control over your mind.

Do you notice how exhausted we are at the end of the day when all that has been in our mind is negativity? Wouldn't it be really nice to live a day where everything we thought was pure, lovely and of a good report? If we would all stop when we get a negative thought and think--and speak out loud--I refuse to think this thought, and I take this thought captive right now in the name of Jesus. I bet our days would go by much smoother and we would view things in life differently.
