”Fill your thoughts with my words until they penetrate deep into your spirit. Then, as you unwrap my words, they will impart true life and radiant health into the very core of your being. So above all, guard the affections of your heart, for they affect all that you are. Pay attention to the welfare of your innermost being, for from there flows the wellspring of life.“
Our mindset and what we meditate on affects our health. This is why Paul teaches us to take every thought captive and make it bow in obedience to Christ. A pastor whose teaching has greatly impacted my life is Bill Johnson from Redding, CA. And he says that any thought that doesn’t inspire hope is under the influence of a lie. So if you are not living in sparkling hope, talk to the Lord about it. Ask Him to help you see where it is you’re believing a lie. Then go a step further and ask Him to tell You what the truth about that situation is, so you can replace the lie with truth. And we are entering times that I believe will cause us to hold hope very strongly in one hand as we also hold a deep cry and demand for justice in the other.
