Healing Your Mind

I was listening to Joyce Meyers the other day. She was speaking about changing your thinking, and changing your negative words. She said she grew up in a very negative home. She thought that being negative was normal. As God began dealing with her on the power of her words, she knew she had to change her thoughts, and what she was declaring over her life. She decided to take action.

Now, I have written about Ben and my “dream board”. (click the link to read more) , Joyce has taken it a step further. You may have heard this before: Write out the things you are believing God to do in your life. Here is an example from mine: “I want God to do a miracle in our finances, and I want to have more than enough so that I can be blessed and bless others.” Once you have written out what you are believing for, then you need to find scripture to back it up. Like Malachi 3:10-11 “Bring your full tithe to the Temple treasury so there will be ample provision in my temple. Test me in this and see if I don’t open up heaven itself to you and pour out blessing beyond your wildest dreams…” or 2 Corinthians 9: 11 says “He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God. ”

Not only do I have what I want, but God’s word that tells me I can have it! I can stand on it, confess it, and believe for it to happen. I know that this is something God wants for me. Speaking these things over your life will change your thinking, and change your life. Joyce said that everything she had on her list she is now walking in today.

This is not magic, or “name it – claim it” . It is simply renewing your mind to the perfect will of God in your life. (Romans 12:2) If you need healing in your body, your finances, or your relationships, whatever it is, you must first “heal” your mind of the destructive thought patterns.

I have put this off, and when I finally sat down and made myself do it, I was excited to find all that I did. God really does want me to have all the things I want. So don’t put it off, find what God wants for your life. (Remember blueletterbible.org is a great place to start if you need to research a subject)
