Thoughts are powerful! Do you know that your thoughts are what produce your future, whether good or bad? Your thoughts are very important to God, and, therefore, his word is replete with references about them. God tells us in his word that we can change who we are by changing what we think. What you think in abundance is what you end up speaking. According to Proverbs 18:21, life and death are in the power of your tongue. Wow! In other words, you can change who you are and change your future by what you think and speak. Carefully consider the following Scriptures. 

Rom 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Lk 6:45 From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Wow! That spells it all out Unfortunately, many Christians don’t understand these basics of victorious living. We don’t understand that our most dominant thoughts (or what we think about the most) create their future. Because our thoughts are so critical to living the abundant life of heaven, the Word of God challenges us to set our mind on things above and to think only good things! 

Colossians 3:1-3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

Philippians 4:8-9 Finally, brothers and sisters, 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. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Your thoughts can transform who you are and revolutionize the outcome of your life! The importance of this cannot be overstated, and, therefore, careful inventory of your thought life is so essential! Please hear me! Your future depends on it!

Think about it…
