Do you know what that means to me? It's listening to the "what if's".
What if...that hadn't happen to me?
What if...I hadn't done that to someone?
What if...this is not the direction we should be taking financially?
What if...I had been a better mother?
What if...my child hadn't made that choice?
What if...I hadn't made that choice?
What if...what if...what if...
What is your "what if''s"?
And are you listening to them?
You see, a thought can be put in your mind- now, it's up to you as to what to do with that thought.
Do you allow that thought to lead to another or do you ask the Holy Spirit, who lives in you, if that thought is a lie or truth?
Do you let that lie lead to more lies? Which can lead to anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, blame, shame, being enslaved to lies, self and an unrenewed mind?
Do you exchange the lie for truth?
Do you let that truth lead to more and more truth which is actually "being transformed (inwardly) by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2). Which leads to- wisdom, discernment, peace and living from the mind of Christ, in you.
Believing one lying thought, no matter how convincing it is, can lead to borrowing trouble.
But that is satan's, your enemy's, goal. Deception. Destruction. Death.
Believing lying thoughts put in your mind, always leads to deception, destruction and death.
Jesus came to renew your mind- and to even give you His mind. So that you don't have to believe the lies anymore. You don't have to run down the road of borrowing trouble. You CAN stop those thoughts dead in their tracks and turn other way...the way of truth and life= Jesus.
2 Corinthians 1:20-22
For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God. Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us, placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts
1 Corinthians 2
15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. 16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
