Peter first had a thought, then climbed over the bow of the boat to walk on the water to Jesus. The miracle began with just a though. We all know of David’s moral collapse, and all of his thoughts began with a thought. Things change for David when his perception changed. Managing my mindset will bring about the change Jesus intends.

Satan Will Always Bring A Thought To Destroy You

Unless you allow it, satan cannot take away anything that God has given out. So our adversary, the devil will try to affecter thinking with negative thoughts producing doubt and fear, and trouble our hearts with impatient fits of worry. The heart is the seat of our emotions and cognitive understanding. It is the center of our belief system and where faith dwells. Faith is our immune system against thoughts of defeatism and fear. God had given them a strong word of commitment, telling them that He, Himself, would not only go with them but also fight for them and save them.

God Will Always Bring a Thought To Deliver You

It is sometimes painful to realize that God has carried us as far as our thinking would allow. It’s painful to realize that if we could have changed our mindset, God would have carried us further. The children of Israel were turned away and wandered in the desert wilderness for 40 years, not because God would not fight for them, not because God would not provide for them, but because of what they thought. We are where we are in our spiritual journey because of what we think and feel. God is as big as we believe Him to be. God can do all that we can perceive exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we are able to think or ask.

Psalm 28:7
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my son will I praise Him.

1 Corinthians 13:11

Mark 13:11
But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, either do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, the speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
