DESTROY DOUBT Doubt must be removed from your mind set. It is one of the greatest weapons against the mind. Eliminating doubt is a battle but it can be done. You must understand the purpose for remaining steadfast and unmovable. This is a season of elevation and more of God’s impartation of the Holy Spirit. If you are in a doubtful place, you will miss your place in the movement of the Spirit.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO RENEW THE MIND? Changing your thought patterns from this world to desiring the things of Christ. Reading the Word of God which transforms the mind day by day. The closer you walk in God, the more your life style is shapen after the the holiness of God. You agree with the Spirit and allow him to chart your pathway and make the crooked paths straight. The Word of God tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. The Word of God has the power to transform and bring us into a living a acceptable way with the Lord.
HOW DO I SHIFT NEGATIVE THINKING TO POSITIVE First of all, it starts with a desire. Without a desire, your heart and mind will not come together to meet with the Spirit which does the removal of the negative thinking. Once you allow the Spirit to do its work within you, it will dispel all negative thoughts and desires.
HOW DO I TRANSFORM HOPELESS THOUGHTS INTO MORE PRODUCTIVE VIEWS? Hopeless thoughts come from Satan. In Christ all fullness dwells. Hopelessness comes from fear and fear is of the Devil. You are more than a conqueror in Christ. When you pour yourself into Christ and Christ pour himself into you, you will develop the mind that all things are possible and you will begin to conquer and sustain every view and plan that God has for you.
HOW DO I LOOK AT EVERY ASPECT OF MY LIFE WITH SINCERE OPTIMISM? All the answer to these questions are very simple. It all comes down to time and patience with God. Remember, you become what you spend the most time with. More time with the Word; more like the Word you become.
It is impossible to diligently and increasingly take in God’s Word, and overtime that Word not become effective in your life. The Word is Jesus, therefore the more Jesus you take in …the more you become spiritually like Jesus. Remember…you become more of what you spend the most time with.
HOW SHOULD I DO THIS? Perfect an ongoing plan to read His word; say it, memorize it, write it; meditate on it, trust it, and then read and say it again. This will not only allow God to overtake your mind, but will also let him drive our actions and mindset and eventually pervade (to spread throughout something; in this case throughout the mind, soul and body) our very being.
GET RID OF YOUR MICROWAVE THINKING While your spending time with time and he’s reprocessing your mind set, you might as well enjoy the slow-cook process. Get rid of your microwave thinking. A quick drive-thru experience isn’t enough to renew your mind. This is one of the biggest problems with God’s impatient believers. Everybody wants Him to hurry up and do what He has to do. But more assistance comes to those who ask and wait. All you do is ask for the help, He’ll send more of the Helper (which is the Holy Spirit) and He (Who is all-knowing and all-powerful will begin the good work in you.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO HAPPEN FIRST The Great Help (The Holy Spirit) will give you longevity and the power to wait peaceably will the divine transformation takes place. While He is building on your building and mindset…maybe you want to: ~ take down your defenses ~ come off your constant guilt trip ~ stop looking for human approval ~ begin doing those things you’ve missed doing because of the spirit of omission. ~let go of pride or passiveness letting others make your decisions
REJECT THE SPIRIT OF DOUBT You must not allow the spirit of doubt to hinder you from seeing the great moves of God. Everything God wants for your life if called; greatness. He works all things out for the good. He loves you and you will succeed in the Spirit. (Rom 8:28). Take all the fear that comes up in your mind and cast it on Him. Remember you are believing Him for something today and He said in His Word…He will supply it according to the richest of His glory by Jesus Christ.
WHY IS DOUBT SUCH A POWERFUL WEAPON? The weapon of doubt is powerful only if your permit it to be. Once you understand the power of God and His Word, it will no longer be in control. Doubt can stagnate you mind and keep you from moving and flowing in the Spirit. You must know how to maneuver through the Word and embrace yourself in the Spirit. He is waiting for you to call upon Him in His sovereignty and power.
WHAT SHOULD I BE DOING WHILE GOD IS PREPARING MY TRANSFORMATION? Indulge yourself in prayer, worship and meditating on His word This will expand you trust and belief in Him. Hold to the facts that He is your Father and cannot life. He is Truth and established forever. He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek after Him. Seek the Kingdom and tap into the well of hope and not allow the enemy to place doubt in your circumstance or request. Instead of doubting try rejoicing because you know that God shall bring His work to pass. Give thanks while your transformation is taking place.
Gather your thoughts and allow God to bring a calm to your spirit so that you may be able to see things the way God sees it. The enemies job is to stir up fear, doubt and discouragement so that he can hinder your potential. Don’t let him do it any longer. Tell the devil he’s a liar and that discouragement nor doubt is your portion nor inheritance. Straightway tell the enemy that the Lord is your confidence and shield.
CELEBRATE YOUR RECOVERY OF POWER! Today…celebrate your trust and hope in Him who has kept you for such a time as this. This is a new day. Let’s call it a day of VICTORY! Time is ticking and the time is now. Make up your mind that doubt and discourage are the rulers of your life, Jesus is the Master and Shepherd of your life and it is His voice and His voice alone you will answer to.
Let’s Pray: My Saviour, I thank you for your patience in dealing with me. All this time I’ve been trying to do it on my own. I’ve been trying to do it the way I’ve seen others do it. They made me believe that I had an inadequacy in my spiritual life and walk with you. I’ve tried to hide and not be responsible, I’ve tried to go it the safe way. But my safe way was not in trusting you. Father at this moment, I ask that you change my mindset. I no longer want to be bound by man’s ideologies nor explanations of who I am. I don’t want the impressions of man’s mindset in my life. Lord, I want to do it YOUR way, I surrender until you renew my mind, transform me that I may walk in that which you have ordered and purposed in me. In Jesus Name…Amen.
