316 Ministry - Morning Faith - Dealing with complex Anxiety

God’s goodness isn’t based on what we see, hear, or feel. It’s just based on His goodness.

Our thoughts are powerful. They impact our decisions, change our perspective, and influence our conversations with others. Negative and unhealthy thinking causes us to get trapped by our thoughts with, what we believe is little chance for escape. 

Our lives are always moving in the direction of our strongest thoughts. The life we have is a reflection of the thoughts we think. For example, if you think you can’t, you probably won’t but if you think you can, you most likely will.

Herein lies the battlefield. Most battles are won or lost in our minds. What we think determines who we become.

Worried thinking can be contrasted against peaceful thinking. For example, worried people are consumed with what people might think of you, your kid’s performance, what the future might hold, finances, job performance, and of course your health. However, peaceful thinking is more along the lines of doing what you can, trust that God has things under control, and allows full peace to be reached.

 
Remember, what comes into your mind, comes out in your life. No matter what you do, what you have, who you know, what you buy, where you live, where you travel, you can’t have a positive life when you have a negative mind.

Not only can it be reversed, when you start thinking positive thoughts, you get a little reward in the form of a chemical called dopamine. When you feel good about something you did? Dopamine.

Changing the negative thinking to positive thinking is a formal process that you must force yourself to do. You have to change the thinking habits and create a new path in the brain. 

Again, the same thing begins to happen. The more you think positive thoughts, the easier it is to think them. 

All negative thinking are lies that are placed in your mind by the enemy to keep you right where he wants you. For you to fight back, you must replace those lies with truths. Make no mistake, this is a battle against good and evil. Evil has a stronghold in your mind and the truth is your weapon and it will set you free. The question becomes, can you fight this battle alone?

What comes to mind comes out in life. You can’t have a positive life with a negative mind. To fight the battle, capture the lies and r
