THOUGHT PATTERNS FOR WINNERS : BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND!! 1.TRUST If we want our lives to be tranformed we must renew our mind.We must change our thinking before we can change our life. We must be thinking thoughts of trust and faith and confidence in God. We must put away thoughts of fear , unbelief ,worry ,suspicion ,unworthiness and doubt from our mind. Our mind must be dominated by thoughts of faith and trust in the faithfulness and goodness of God. Such positive thoughts will cause positive changes in our lives and we will be tranformed. ROMANS12:2 Do not conform any longer 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. PHILIPPIANS 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength. ROMANS 4:18-21 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. 2.THANKFULNESS If we want our lives to be transformed we must fill our mind and heart with thoughts of thankfulness and gratitude towards God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon us.We must count our blessings and forget not all His benefits. Such an attitude of praise and thanksgiving will bring great victories in our life. We must put away all thoughts of depression, complaining ,murmuring, jealousy , criticism , judgement and bitterness. Our mind must be dominated by gratitude for what we have instead of dwelling with self-pity and complaining about what we do not have. Such a heart and mind of thankfulness will trasnsform our lives and fill us with joy and happiness. PSALMS 103:1-2 Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- PSALMS 149:6-9 May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands, to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron, to carry out the sentence written against them. This is the glory of all his saints. Praise the LORD. 3.TRUTH If we want our lives to be transformed we must fill our mind with thoughts of truth. We must meditate on the word of God and fill our heart and mind with the revelation of the truth from the word of God which will bring freedom and deliverance in our lives . We should not be deceived by the lies of the devil. We must put away thoughts of lies, slander, gossip, impurity, falsehood and evil.We must not allow our minds to be filled with filth of this world and not allow our mind to dwell on the evil that may reach our ears. We must meditate on thoughts of goodness and purity and truth and not allow ourselves to be deceived by appearances. When our minds are filled with the truth our lives will be transformed. JOHN 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." ROMANS 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? JEREMIAH 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. PSALMS 1:2-3 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. 4.TIMING If we want our lives to be transformed we fill our minds with the understanding of God’s timing and purpose. God has His divine timing to fulfill His plans and purposes for our lives. We must not be restless and hasty and impatient with God. We must be patient until we receive the harvest for all that we have sown. Only then we can inherit the promises of God. God may bring deliverance little by little , step by step according to our ability to handle the changes it may bring.We must allow God to develop His character in us through the various circumstances through which He leads us.When our minds and hearts comprehend the timing of God we will alllow Him to transform our lives according to His divine plan and purpose. HEBREWS 10:35-36 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. DEUTERONOMY 7:22 The LORD your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you. I PETER 5:10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. JAMES 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. PROVERBS 21:5,25 The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty The sluggard’s craving will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work. PROVERBS 12:24, Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slave labor. PROVERBS 3:5-7 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.
