The most important thing in your life is your thought. Your thoughts today are the result of those of yesterday. It is important to learn how to harness the power and potential of your mind to make it work for you. Therefore, we must take the time to watch and manage what our thoughts are. These are my five main points.
Number one: Your thought can lead you to the spiritual realm. It may touch the realm in a positive or negative way. You ascend the spiritual plane when you start to think. If your thoughts are positive (i.e. If you think positively about your family, finances, health and life in general, then the angels and mercies will begin working for your good. You will see unlimited success in any situation and circumstance if you keep those positive thoughts as your dominant thought day after day. You will overcome any situation that seems to restrict you. As long as your thoughts are positive, these limitations will disappear.
Number 2: Most often, your dreams are moving pictures. If you dream of a particular dream or vision, this is an indication that your thoughts are revealing the truth about your dream. There are three places where your dream may come true:
(a). From God
(b. From your spirit/mind
(c) Devil’s horn
Take the example of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel 2.29:30. If thy thoughts were to come into your mind while lying on thy beds, then what? For my part, the secret of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream is not for my wisdom, nor for the benefit of any living being. But for the sakes and for the sake of the royal, so that they might reveal to him the interpretation, that he may know his thoughts. From the scriptures above, we know that our dreams reflect our heart’s thoughts.
Positive imagination is number three. The power of imagination allows you to imagine your future. Your imagination can help you visualize the car and home you’ll use in the future. Through your imagination you can see what kind of lifestyle you desire, how you are going to live it, and other details. You will soon be able to see what your imagination is telling you. You might believe God has blessed you with a vehicle. If this is the case, you already have faith and are certain that God is granting you a vehicle. Now, you need to use your imagination to realize what God knows you deserve.
Number four: Your faith is related to your thoughts: We have read in the Bible the Book of Hebrews 11: 1.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.”This is another translation. “Now faith is the substantiating of things hoped for…”This translation sounds great. Substantial means to establish or confirm that something is real. Although many facts are truthful, we can’t prove them. Mount Everest may be the most famous mountain on earth. However, this is something I haven’t seen and I don’t have any physical proof of. It is possible to verify that Everest really is large by going there and seeing it in person. Many have only seen pictures of it, while others have never seen it. Only the one who went to that place, and has seen every other mountain is able to confirm this truth more than anyone else. God has given you the ability to use imagination and your thoughts to ascertain the results of the things you hoped for. Consider that you have prayed and believed God to give you the car you desire. “If we pray according to His will, He hears us.”Even 1John 5:15 can be quoted. “and if we know that He hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petition that we desired of Him.”You can know God gave you a vehicle by believing in His word. When you are certain that the car has been given to you, it is not necessary that you believe again for it. Mark 11:23 teaches this. This level allows you to focus your thoughts on God’s work even though you may not have physically seen it. When you can see it in your mind’s eye, it allows your subconscious to believe that you have it. This faith never fails anyone. The end result is believing for whatever it is. It’s so easy, yet it is the ultimate truth.
Number Five: Be able to demolish all other opposing thoughts. 11Corinthians 10 says: 3-5
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not canal, but mighty through GOD to the pulling down of stronghold: casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ”.
All thoughts that are allowed in your mind must be taken captive to Christ’s obedience. Every thought, every imagination must be tested. You have to correct and rebuke every opposing thought. You must understand the following truth. The devil can flash negative thoughts at you once in a while, no matter what you do. Your spiritual antenna might also be affected by bad thoughts from friends or enemies. If you’re sensitive, you may quickly discard the negative thought and throw out any high-minded ideas that are threatening your progress. This is also a reminder that bad dreams can be woken up in deep sleep. It’s a devilish thought and must be stopped from harming your family or life. You can bind the negative dream by praying (which you should), and God will never permit the devil’s evil thoughts to continue in your head.
