You Are What You Think

We all understand that you are what you eat physically. If you want to gain weight or lose weight, you eat accordingly. If you want to raise your blood pressure or lower it, you eat accordingly. And if you want to increase your energy levels or decrease them, you eat accordingly. It is the same for our minds and how we think. And this week Pastor Rick shared a message with us entitled "You Are What You Think".

One of the first points Pastor Rick communicated to all of those in attendance was that you've got to resolve and resign yourself to the fact that you are always blessed. Always. As Christians God has promised to exalt you and to provide for you in every way imaginable.

"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:6-7

Too many believers ask fruity questions. How will this ever happen for me? How is this going to work out? Why is this not going my way? And remember, these are the cries of believers...those who claim they know the Bible and are following the teachings of Jesus. Well to regular people listening, it is obvious that these "believers" do not really believe the Word of God. Moreover, the spiritual forces that are against all of God's children hear this doubt and unbelief too. And since the spirit world knows the rules that God has implemented for all to adhere to, this sends alerts that those crying are not living by the benefits of being in God's family. Whoa!

And when the enemy recognizes that you don't know you have all authority, you open yourself wide for attack and allow all kinds of problems to come your way.

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8

He can't devour those who are living life according to God's Word. Why not? Because God promised to protect you. God said he would work all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). And if you love Him, you would do what he commands you to do...so you can continually propser!

Don't cause a curse to come into your life because of disobedience and unbelief. Proverbs 26:2 says that if you do not cause it, a curse will not come upon you. Additionally, those who have put their lives in God's hands through their faith in Jesus Christ have already been redeemed from the curse of the law and have God's protection and help while living here on earth.

God said you are blessed! Start thinking and living like it.
