“Think on these things.” Philippians 4:8
The level of our potential depends upon the level of our thinking. If we let our minds wander into doubt and unbelief, we will drown in fear. Fear is false evidence appearing real. We cannot allow ourselves to daydream and let the devil take control of our thinking. Some Christians need to get rid of stinking thinking and get a check up from the neck up.
Paul compelled the Philippians to think thoughts that are true, just, pure, lovely, of good report, of virtue and of praise. Negative thinking will not only prevent you from reaching your potential, it will kill your dreams. A person who cannot dream will eventually start having nightmares.
All this week we have been focusing on our thoughts and on meditation. The Hebrew word we have focused on is, “hagah.” The same word can be translated differently and according to the mental images of the individual. “Hagah” also means to murmur, mutter or mourn. Isaiah declared, “Your tongue hath muttered perverseness,” (59:3).
God’s people had committed iniquity after they changed their vocabulary. Their conversation was negative because their mental picture was negative. That is why Jesus said, “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh,” (Matthew 12:34).
“Change your mind, change your words, and change your world!”
