  • To empower your thoughts, you need to cultivate a "grid" for the kind of thoughts you will focus on and welcome in your life. Most people are aware of all the negative and disempowering thoughts they have, but don't know how to cultivate powerful ones.
    In this video, I want to Philippians 4:8 as a gauge for developing an overcoming thought life.
    What are the thoughts we should focus our attention on?
    What do these thoughts even mean?
    What does it look like to practice thinking on these things?
    Philippians 4:8-9 (NKJV) 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

    This right here truly helped me to begin my journey out of depression and anxiety, transforming my mind. Thank God for Jesus! I actually wrote a song about this very scripture. I promise you people, focus on this scripture and God will transform your mind out of darkness.

    Just what I needed today. I was looking for a song I used to sing in teen choir in the mid 70's and thought I would hear the song. But God! Knew better and blessed me with your message of defining the scripture of the song. Thank you for your message posted and I THANK GOD for He knows what I needed before I sing the song!

    You are amazing. I just love listening to your videos. We all need this information so much! Thank you for doing this. Audio books by you would be awesome. The love and care in your manner and voice is soothing. People under condemnation a lot of the time need someone like you to listen to. It makes us feel that change is possible instead of feeling bad about ourselves.

    Father God, thank you that I always can look up to you! Lord, I pray and bind the thoughts about myself and especially my work capabilities will be more positive and encouraging at all times while binding to hell to focus more on one's weaknesses than one's strengths, binding as well the thoughts of members of my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents and the body of Christ to be positive and encouraging towards oneself while binding to hell focusing more on one's weaknesses instead of strengths, binding to hell every unequal yoke and common share with those whose thoughts about oneself and one's abilities are not positive and encouraging while lacking to focus more on one's strengths than weaknesses, in accordance with this word and philippians 4:8, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah, thank you God ❤!

    Hello, when i thought on the word True, i used it to watch documentaries, tragic but true documentaries. So i continue to watch true but tragic documentaries like plane crashes, underwater cave tragedies and that sort of entertainment because they're true stories. But i have to know those shows are making me anxious and depressed. So i need to redefine the word True. My other problem is the pursuit of not allowing my brain to bounce everywhere at once. One day im attentive the things of God ... the next day im flabbergasted because i cant find that peace i had yesterday...i cant seem to settle myself. Oh help me Holy Spirit. Cause me to incline my heart to Thy testimonies and not to covetousness (of vain things ).

    It seems Song of Solomon contradicts the interpretation of purity that is spoken of here. It seems like purity is equated with chastity, which is equated with celibacy, which is equated with cutting off of anything that would generate or encourage a desire of sexual nature in either oneself or in others. I don't think that extreme is necessary here. Lust is not sexual. Lust is inordinate desire, not subject to God's will. Lust is disordered craving for that which is evil. It is wise to be careful about how one teaches these things, lest the world lay claim to the truth and say it is of evil and not of God, and we are left ashamed of the truth instead of defenders of the truth.
