A Message of Inspiration From the Author of Living Loved, May 25, 2025
Hey friends! Just a quick question, what are you thinking on? What is the narrative in your thoughts on a regular basis? What we think on is so important the Lord made several mentions of it throughout scripture! Friends listen, I ur thoughts become emotions and emotions become actions. Let’s read what the word says.
Do not copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
-Romans 12:2
God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
-2 Tim. 1: 7.
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:4-5
Whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.
-Philippians 4:8
“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, But his heart is not with you.”
Proverbs 23:7
“You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.”
Isaiah 26:3
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. …
Philippians 4:4-9
“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”
Colossians 3:2
“Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.”
Ephesians 4:21-24
That’s a lot friends. And he wants us to think on the things of heaven and not of this earth because we were not made for this earth. We were made for heaven. We were made for worship. And whatever has our thoughts has our worship. Too many times we are worshipping the problem, the person, the situation.
Think of some ways you can change the way you think and watch how changing the way you think, will change the way you feel and the way you act! He wants us to live in perfect peace. He wants us to guard our hearts. He wants to demolish strongholds in our lives! He wants us to be set free in our mind, will, and emotions; as well as in all areas of our lives!! He wants us to be TRANSFORMED, not conformed!! A challenge for the week! Take those thoughts captive and see what changes! Oh Friends you are so loved!! Live loved!
