I really enjoyed Jerry Savelle's devotional for today!
FLOOD YOUR MIND!
2
Corinthians 4:18 says, “While we look not at the things which are
seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are
temporal.”
The most successful people in
the world are those who have the ability to perceive what is possible even when
it looks impossible. They look beyond the obstacle blocking their success and
they recognize that through perseverance, they will ultimately be victorious.
You’ve got to be able to see
beyond your circumstances right now. You have to develop the ability to see the
impossible no matter what your mind is telling you. You have to cast down
negative thoughts daily. When you wake up, the thoughts are going to be there.
Shut them up. When you lie down at night, those thoughts will try to return.
You have to look beyond what Satan is trying to tell you and see God doing the
impossible in your life.
But, you must make a decision
that you are going to do whatever it takes to win the battle in your mind – in
your thought life. Wake up praising God. Let that be the first thing that comes
out of your mouth. Shut the devil up just as soon as your eyes open.
Remember, you can’t cast down
negative thoughts only, you have to replace them with the Word of God. You must
flood your mind with the Word. Begin listening to faith-building messages while
you’re getting dressed and while you’re driving to work. Faith comes by hearing
the Word, and we know that our faith is what enables us to overcome the world (1 John 5:4).
The more you consume your mind
with God’s Word, guard what comes out of your mouth and cast down every
negative thought, the sooner you will be living a victorious life!
Shalom in Him!
