We can so easily become bound up in our thoughts. Thoughts can overwhelm us. Always remember, the battle starts in your mind. Learn how to cast down those things that come up in your mind that are not in line with God's Word, His will, or His way at the point of inception. The word inception means the beginning or starting point of a thing. Don't allow negative thoughts to breed. When something breeds, it produces offspring. In other words, it produces a result or similar affect. If you continuously breed negative thoughts, at some point or another, you will become overtaken and overwhelmed by negativity.
God said in His Word that He knows the thoughts that He has for us. His thoughts are thoughts of hope, thoughts of peace, and thoughts of us having an expected end that denotes victory. We have to see ourselves the way God sees us and we need to meditate on His thoughts towards us, so that they can eventually become our thoughts as well.
When breeding we have to understand that there is a distinguishable difference between a mixed breed and a thoroughbred. A thoroughbred is pure, unmixed, and is noted as such and set apart. Whereas, a mixed breed is impure. We have to understand this analogy in relation to our thoughts. We can breed thoughts that are pure, unmixed, and set apart (or should we say holy) or we can have thoughts that are mixed with doubt and with fear. Again, we have to learn how to cast down the mixed thoughts at the point of inception.
Don't be bound by the way you think. Instead, meditate on God's Word and allow it to infiltrate your thoughts so that you can change the way you think.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATIONPhilippians 4:8King James VersionFinally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
