The Power of Negative Thinking

As humans, we are so prone to assume the worst and believe the worst.

We focus on what is wrong or on what we are afraid will go wrong.

Negative thinking is a pervasive tendency.

It must be seen as what it is- an unloving, unfaithful response to God's promises.


I'm convicted. If I think the worst of everything, then I'm not loving God and I'm humble toward God!

Jesus was completely realistic about man's sinful condition, but he was full of faith and confident that men could be changed be God's power.

If in our conversation always end with the negative "but", it will lodge in our hearts and the hearts of others( especially our children!)

Being realistic with the facts is good, but ending with fatih is better-- it's ESSENTIAL.

Abraham faced the facts of his situation, but then he "faithed" them.
The facts are the facts , but God is greater than any reality that blocks what he wants done in our lives.

FAITH LOOKS BEYOUND HUMANISTIC REALITITES TO DIVINE POSSIBILITIES.

We must be Christ followers who must have a will to be persuaded, to be open to changeing our minds of negativity ( Hebrews 13:17, discipling)

Unless we really determine to open our hearts to new truths, we simply cannot and will not see it.

Unless we change our will to believe, we will remain locked in our negativity and may ultimately LOSE OUR SALVATION!

Negativism is tragic in its results. ( Number 13 &14 the whole community didn't make it)
This passsage is a chilling reminder of the tragedy that follows unfaithful thinking and acting.

We must see the power of negativity and avoid it like the plague it is.

When you begin to lack faith about anything, rest assured that SATAN IS NEAR!

Entertaining negative thoughts with no plan to change the situation is dangerous to our spiritual health.

The power of spiritual thinking lies in part with our consisitent REFUSAL to think negatively.

Let's learn these lessons well and avoid being used by Satan.

Let us confront the most difficult and challenging circumstances and say, " God is still at work and he still has a plan."

The power of negative thinking or the power of spiritual thinking- ?
THE CHOICE IS YOURS!!

So what is your choice?
