THE POWER OF THOUGHTS.

What are thoughts?

• Thoughts are imaginations but they are more than imaginations.

• Mental perceptions.•

The way we perceive things, people, situations, environments and ideas.

• Our interpretation of conditions and interactions.

Thoughts are pictures from the mind, which can either be constructive or destructive.

Thoughts are more than imaginations as some think it is. Your thoughts may be holding you in bondage today or as a result of your thoughts, you may be experiencing a glorious liberty today.

Until you change a man's thinking (mindset/orientation), you can not change him or his estate. Romans12:2. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.The quickest way to affect or influence your thoughts is through sight.

You've got to see something; you can't take or have what you cannot see.

Joshua: 6 vs. 1-2. Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. 2And the LORD said unto Joshua, "See", I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.

It’s not coincidental that God told Joshua to see; he was not blind but He told him to see! Meaning, he had to see it, he had to see the "done deal", he had to see and relate with Jericho as a city whose king and mighty men were already captured by them! He had to do that with the power of thoughts to back it up.

God couldn't change Abram's situation until he could see and comprehend what God had planned for him. One day, God told him, "I have given you the south, the north, the east, the west. As far as your eyes can see”. Genesis 13:14 -15.

Thoughts are pictures of the mind.

Genesis 15:2-6. God told Abraham, count the stars because you going to give birth to stars they are not going to be ordinary people. Then for the first time, Abraham got the picture of what God was saying; he saw it! God can only do for you what you see.

"The extent of your vision is the boundary of you possession". That's why He gave to you a mind. You have to think. You can discipline your mind, you can determine which thoughts to have and believe. That's the difference between the one who turns out as a drug addict and the one who turns into a businessman.

Think about that farmer that comes to his garden and thought, 'I like it because I have tomatoes' and everything grows and he leaves the weeds to grow. You have to decide to mount guard over your mind. Don’t let every thought come in. DON’T ACCEPT EVERY THOUGHT THAT COMES INTO YOUR MIND.

The thoughts you choose to allow, that's what will affect you. It doesn't matter what happens to you or what situation you find yourself, you have a choice to remain there or to come out of it.

You must choose the way your thoughts should go. You create your thoughts, "for as he thinketh in his heart so is he". Proverbs 23 vs. 7.You are exactly what your thoughts created. Your thoughts can either keep you poor or lead you in the way of prosperity!It doesn’t matter what situation you find yourself, you have to make a choice to come out of the situation. No, don't stay there! We are talking about thoughts. Think, think!
