Transform Your Thinking, Transform Your Life

Transform :- undergo a total change, change in form or structure.

We have all been affected by our world, events of life, words spoken, deeds done.  Our mind has become a battleground.  Our thoughts and thinking is vital to our living life to the full.  You are always moving in the direction of your most dominate thoughts.  We are a product today of our past thoughts.  Don't like what we are today, then we must change our thoughts.  

Thoughts determine our emotions.
Emotions determine our decisions.
Decisions determine our words.
Words determine our actions.
Actions determine our habits.
Habits determine our character/who we are.

We will never arrive at our destination that God has planned for us without first of all controlling our thoughts.  No one can do this for you, no one can stop you controlling your thoughts.  You alone are the master of your thoughts.  POW in a Japanese prisoner camp. Thought and pictured himself playing golf and getting great scores.  Kenneth Hagin said, "You can't stop birds flying over your head but you can stop them nesting in your hair."   

3 John 2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.    NKJV

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers.  AMP
KJV :- "I wish above all things."

Who is John?
Prosper in everyway.        Be in health.
AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS.        SOUL :- the part of man which enables him to think, reason, seat of emotions.  
We will only ever prosper (not just limited to money)as we think right and have our emotions in line with God.  Is your soul prospering?  What do you think about yourself?  What do you think about God?  What do you think about God's provision?  God is only limited by us.  He can do whatever He wants, yet He choose to give us free will and choice to think our own thoughts.   What we all need is a check up from the neck up.  

Prov 23 : 7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. IN HIS HEART :- Nephesh, emotion, passion, inner being of man, soul, will (way of thinking).
As YOU think about yourself so you will become like your thoughts.  We were never created to live life by what happens to us in this world or by what others say about us or to us.  We were supposed to live by what God says about us and then affect the world, not the world affecting us.   Gen 1 : 28    1st thing God said was we were blessed.  Lost it through sin, but it was given to Abraham and established for you and me through Jesus.  (Gal 3 : 14)
2nd, be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth (with His glory).

Your mind is where all your decisions come from.  Your destiny and quality of life are determined by your soul.  Life is made up of choices.  Right choices, right results.  Wrong choices, wrong results.  Deut 30 : 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

Mark 9 : 23 If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.

We limit God from doing His full will by our thinking and choices we make.  We have to take responsibility for our thoughts and actions.  Both positive and negative thoughts will produce.  Every limitation we have in life comes from our thoughts.  Every thought we have is a seed.  Seeds are made to produce harvest.  This is not power of positive thinking, but power of positive thinking on God's Word.  He is only committed to His Word, not ours.  

Experiment with a flee in a jar and a lid on it.
What lid have you put on your life that's causing you to not jump out of the jar of your life?
If you think you can, you can, if you think you can't you can't.
