"...therefore, i urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing, to God-- this is your spiritual act of worship. 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."- Romans 12:1&2
Stop thinking negative...think positive. better said then done. the saying is so cliche and the thoughts now brewing amidst our minds prove the very opposite of the statement being made. Paul writes in the beginning of this verse that we must be a living sacrifice...well what exactly is a living sacrifice? we are alive, i know, on the physical fleshly sense but think from the spiritual sense of sacrifice...its like letting tears fall freely with a sense of regret but at the same time that drowsy euphoria that allows you to feel free; submitting to conviction of the flesh by the Holy Spirit. so think of it this way, this sacrifice as a long overdue submission of self..everyone has that continual void in them and they long for that fulfillment. in the word it speaks about fulfillment...in the book of James it speaks about when we ask and we dont receive, we ask with the wrong motives, that we may spend what we get from our pleasures...so God calls us to submit ourselves first and foremost in order to change what initially was viewed to be negative, our fleshly attitudes and thoughts.
the second thing Paul speaks about is the renewing of our mind so that we may have better judgement. this is where the statement comes into play...stop thinking negative start thinking positive...stop allowing your day to be mastered by that negative thought, act committed to you, by you, with you, and for you. stop allowing the conversations you partake in to take total control of your actions and words. stop letting that man or woman be the clout that you hold in mind when considering commitment ...it speaks in the book of Revelations do not forget your first love. God is the author and finisher of our faith therefore be mindful of what you allow into your thought process...God speaks in the word saying for your thoughts and your ways are not my ways...be considerate of what God will say and do in your life.
life is something we take for granted...but what is our purpose? God's will fulfilled by us allowing ourselves to submit fully and completely to his will...his perfect will.
life and life in abundance
stop thinking negative. think positive.
