The other day…I made a video…posted it yesterday. About waking up and not wanting to do my bible reading. I just didn’t feel like it. And I kept feeling the nudge to do something else instead… I LITERALLY had to battle myself and force myself to read.

Now was it a HUGE success because I read? Did God literally open the heavens and pour out fresh anointing because of my obedience? No.

Could I have been disappointed? Yes…was I? No. Because obediecnce it about the heart and because God asks it of me…not because of what I can get in return. Cause ultimately it isn’t about me.

There are a small group of us going through the Lisa Trk bible study on Monday’s and last night we were talking about King Hezekiah…and how he started out by doing the right things but because he was blessed he then turned it into thinking that HE had something to do with his blessings. He became boastful, proud and super self centered. We chatted about the fact that this is common and relatable.

I mean how many times have you tried to take credit for good things in your life that you KNOW God did? I know i’ve done it..I’ve got both hands raised right now cause I’m double guilty!

It’s human nature to make things about ‘me’ instead of God or others.

That is where choice comes in. The choice to choose reading yoru Bible even when you don’t feel like it. Even when the earth doesn’t shake or you feel emotional after reading. The choice to build your spiritual muscles through discipline even if you don’t hear form God right away or see the difference over night- just like any other muscle right?

Hebrews 12:11

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things

Toxic thoughts are bad because- neuroscience actually proves that negative events actually imprint on our brains more quickly and linger longer then positive events-

Example- what spreads faster on social media? Negative or positive events? What about in the news?

The mind governed by the flesh is death but the mind governed by the spirit is life and peace.

Romans 12:2

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will." (NIV)

Philippians 4:8

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." (ESV)

1. Pay attention- what does your thought process look like? Do you find yourself spiraling quickly? Or are you able to catch yourself in the midst of a toxic thought and slow down the spiraling process?

2. Practice gratitude

3. Focus on the present- not the past or what is to come- enjoy the moments right in front of you.

Worry and anxiety come when we are worreid about tomorrow or stuck in the past

4. Actively replace the negative with the positive- this is NOT manifestation- although I believe that was first biblical but the world has twisted it all up. When we are using manifestation to take credit for the things that are happening around us then we are using it the worlds way.

We have choices about how we think and act on those thoughts, and maybe we will find success by speaking life over ourselves through manifestation….like I said it’s a biblical principle cause God created us and our minds very uniquely, but ultimately our strongest move will be to partner with God and HIS word instead of trying to do it on our own.

What are you going to decide to do with those negative thoughts today? Are you going to partner with them and let them take root in your heart? Are you going to except them as truth or make a decision to get rid of those thoughts and partner with better ideas about yourself- threw God’s word and what He says?
