When I asked myself if I consider the world a friendly or hostile place I quickly and smugly responded 'friendly'--then I was shocked to discover myself currently responding as if 'they're out to get me'. This morning I woke up thinking about a health assessment I agreed to participate in to lower my health insurance costs. What surprised me was HOW I was thinking about it--'as if they were out to get me and knowing they planned to use my personal health information against me'.
Everyone of us expects positive breakthroughs in life, like having a successful business venture, getting out of debt, to be healthy or having a right life partner, but nothing is changing because Often we make a mistake, when we talk ourselves out of our plans by speaking negative things. You cannot talk defeat and expect to have victory. The moment you speak something out, you are giving life to something good or bad. Negative thoughts come to every person, you can't stop the thoughts from coming into your mind. The key to success is not to speak out negative thoughts. Do yourself a favor Be positive and zip your lips.Negative words can keep you away from your destiny. If you will roam around saying that I am not qualified enough, I don`t have it in me, I am too young or too old, I don`t have what it takes, then you would become exactly what you are saying.God has called every one of us to do something great. He has put some special talents within us. It's easy to make excuses but God wants us to move forward.Just imagine that your success is on the way, and you are talking about how it`s not going to happen, how you will never get the right things in your lives. May be you are a couple of months away from seeing the answer you are waiting for, maybe you have been praying or expecting good results in a specific sphere of your life. But right before it happens, you start verbalizing wrong words and the good things around you stand still.
When you choose to see the world as a friendly place you set a positive expectation that where ever you go, loving, caring people are ready to help you succeed. You step out into the world knowing even if there are scam artists and evil doers; there are good people out there ready to guide you to positive outcomes. You are the one who makes decisions for your life and the faceless 'they' can only influence your decisions if you let them. You are the driver of how you deal with the world. You decide to deal with the world as if it is hostile or as if it is friendly.
God created us to be like Him. He made us to be speaking creatures with the ability to cause change through the power of our words. Everyone lives under the power and influence of words. Words really control everything in this realm and in the Eternal Realm.The manner of life that you are living, positive or negative, has been brought about by words spoken to you and over you, or that you spoke over yourself, words that were thought upon and accepted. These words formed an inner image on the inside of you. By inner image, I mean the way that you view yourself and life in general on the inside, in your heart and mind.Please understand, you speak and live out what is in you in abundance.The condition of your heart and mind determines what you think, how you speak and how you live and treat yourself and other people.Proverbs 4:23 (King James Version of the Bible),"Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life."The word, keep, means to guard. And the word issues, means, out-flowing. So this verse of Scripture is telling us, to guard what we allow to get into our hearts, for we will live it out. Why is this so? Because words paint pictures. They paint pictures inside of us, in the subconscious area of our souls. And from these inner pictures, we live our lives.
If everyone in my world is out to help me achieve my greatest desires then:A free health assessment provides me an opportunity to focus my attention on what I'm doing right and what I still need to improve to achieve my own stated health goals.Everyone who posts a job I'm interested in writes the position with me in mind.People interviewing me for a job want me to stand out as a candidate. They're secretly rooting for me.If I am laid off, the universe is making way for a better situation for me. I am now free to invite creativity and challenging work into my life.Where ever I go I meet people who are looking to be my friend, my partner or employer.
All I could seem to see was what that person told me. One of my pastors saw me backing off. She attempted to pull me back into singing. Also, other people who had a musical background and had heard me sing before begin to paint another image inside of me, with positive inspiring, motivating words. They encouraged me by telling me I could sing. So I began singing again, reluctantly I might add.It took a long time, years in fact to get pass that negative and destructive thought that had been planted as a seed and produced a picture of inability, fear and unproductiveness.On the other hand, her is an example of how good, wholesome and positive words produced after their kind: I continually speak good and positive words to and over my children. Through the application of these kinds of words my son, Sheldon Jr. achieved a four-point grade average.At this writing he is eight years old.I remember one time when he came to me and ask me if he was stupid. I told him that he was not stupid. I told him not to let anyone tell him that. And I told him that he was a smart boy.I feed his mind with the words, "You can do all things through Christ which strengthens you"He believed those words.And through the avenues of positive thinking, based upon God's Word, and help from his mother in his studies, he achieved excellence. And he will get better.
Parents, what are you telling your children.Oh be careful what you feed the minds of your child. Make sure you are not feeding them with a destructive mindset of negativism and limitation.Feed them truth from God's Word about themselves so that they can see themselves in the light of truth, God's Truth, and act accordingly.Words will form their inner self, positive or negative.Let me give you another vivid picture of the power of words and their affect upon the hearts and minds of people.It is sad, but true that many young people have gotten caught up in some very negative and destructive habits and behaviors.I remember when this trend started to develop some serious problems in our land.People started throwing blame all over the place.Some blamed the parents.Some blamed the teachers.Some even had the audacity to blame the church.But very few really placed the blame where it really belonged.We must remember that we all have an enemy named satan.He is an evil foe that does not care about anyone. His one intent is destroying mankind.The enemy has come against this generation through the negative influence of destructive thoughts.Of course he has been using people to plant these negative images in the hearts of men and women, boys and girls. And he still does.
The power and effect of words is tremendous when we think about it. God created everything by the words of His mouth. He made us in His image and likeness. This means that He created man to operate like Him. God speaks things into being. We actually rise and fall to the level of our words.Speak words of faith, hope, and love, and the things we say will come toward us. Speak negative words of doubt, fear, worry, hate and disbelief, and these things shall likewise come our way. Our words attract whatever is in them into our lives.
Words are containers. They contain positive things, or they contain negative things. They contain faith or they contain fear. They contain joy and peace or they contain worry and misery. And if those words ore wrapped in belief, then we will find ourselves having the same things that we say.If you and I desire to be truly successful in life, we must ensure that our words are positive and filled with faith. We must continually say that we are able to do what is in our hearts to do, and that we can accomplish great things because we have a great God.
After having read this text you should be able to evaluate how conscious you are of your choice of words. Positive Words are the backbone of a successful life. The more you integrate them into your day to day living, the more you will have success in every area of your life.
