AS A PERSON THINKS, SO ARE THEY – Are You Wanting A Good Life, Complete With Peace?

SEARCHING FOR LIFE and PEACE?

We may be ‘in this world’ but we should not be a part of this world and it’s cares.

The Bible says that the mind that is set on the Spirit is life and peace. It’s not just a philosophy or a feel good teaching. This is the Truth, but it takes work and discipline.

Here’s the guarantee:  If you will separate yourself (your mind, will and emotions) from the cares, worries and attractions of this world, and set your mind on the Spirit of God, you will not only have LIFE and PEACE, you will find success and will prosper even as your soul will prosper!

Here is how: Take one of these verses each few days, memorize it, visualize it, speak it, and do it. This, the Word of God, will literally change your life.

Verse 1.

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, (The English Standard Version).

Recap:

1. Rejoice always
2. Pray without ceasing.
3. Give thanks in all circumstances.

There is another verse in the Bible that says, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7). If you train your mind, soul and spirit (heart), so you will be, also.

The fruit of the Spirit, the result of His presence within us, is love, unselfish concern for others, joy, inner peace, patience – not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Positive, happy, healthy, encouraging and respectful people are like honey to bees. If you want friends, peace and life and would like to be respected, practice these things.

I will be posting a verse every few days. Let’s do this together – in His Name!

Your Brother and Friend,
