Would You Drink Your Blended Thinking?

I love getting up on stage and blending a superb mixture of berries into a tasty concoction of delicious enjoyment. Then I add a cup of mud. Would you drink it? I wouldn’t either. The point of that demonstration is to show how our negative thoughts pollute our mind. Even the smallest excuse for a negative thought ruins any purity we poured into our mind through God’s word. No minimum amount of mud is acceptable enough to make that shake appealing again. We have to keep washing our mind with the word (Ephesians 5:26) and taking every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5).

We Hold Onto The Mud

Our external problems become internal problems because we mull over the negative things instead of the positive things. Philippians 4:8 reads, Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.

Where The Mind Goes, The Man Follows

Our life doesn’t get straight until our mind gets straight. As we move forward in life, we have to be careful because our thoughts become our words, and our words become our actions. I tell people, “You’re the cultural architect of your life, so you live your life by design.” If we’re thinking negative thoughts all the time we’re allowing our words to frame our world in a bad way. Don’t get framed by listening to internal lies.

Go Be Great Today!

I decree and declare that you are a world framer, a cultural architect, a controller of positive thinking, extinguisher of negative thoughts, life designer, and excellent thinker. You love freshly blended natural berry juice (or the drink of your choice). You take every mud ball captive and fling it away by reframing every negative experience with the promises of God. Amen!
