Thoughts for the week - Detoxing Your Mind We hear a lot about detoxing our physical bodies, chemicals in the food that are harmful, bacteria building up, pesticides in the air etc. Many people don’t realize it but our bodies are full of these harmful toxins which are what is making our bodies not to be alright. Most experts would recommend that you go through a deep cleansing where you put yourself on a fast, you eat a certain diet, staying away from everything harmful and overtime you can rid yourself from those toxins and begin to feel much better. In the same way there are all kinds of toxins that can build up in our mind. When we go round dwelling on the wrong thoughts, thinking about what we cannot do, how somebody hurt us, how we can never get ahead. Those thoughts are toxic thoughts and toxic thoughts left alone become like toxic waste that will eventually contaminate our whole life. It affects our self image, it affects our attitude, our level of confidence and it becomes a part of who we are. Proverbs 4:23 says Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Another way of saying make God a priority in your life. What is the solution? We need to go through a detoxification, not a physical cleansing but a mental cleansing. The only way to get back to what God created us to be is to detox our mind. Some of us today need to detox the bitterness, low-self-esteem, negative thoughts, negative words spoken over us, condemnation from past mistakes. And how do we detox? You make a decision that you are not going to dwell on them anymore, you have to starve those toxins because anytime you dwell on a negative thought you are feeding it and giving it a new life, making it stronger. I am asking us to detoxify all the garbage that is telling us what we can’t do and what we are not going to become. Remove all those strongholds, detox all those low-self-esteem, detox the negative words, detox little dreams, and stay on your diet. Get up every morning and stay on that cleansing thought and start your day off in faith. If you will guard your mind and will not let this toxic thoughts take root but instead you keep it full of faith filled thoughts, I believe you will rise higher and higher, God will pour out his blessings and favor, you live a life of victory that God has in store for us.
