THE QUESTION :
WHO AM I? -The eternal question that’s plagued many is now answered in my blog! (isn’t the internet great!)
THE ANSWER :
WHOEVER YOU THINK YOU ARE! – Wasn’t that an easier answer than you first thought!
Now some of you may think that I stole that piece of wisdom from Tony Robbins – I didn’t!
I stole it from the Bible.
Proverbs 23:7 “For as a man(he) thinks in his heart, so is he….”
Proverbs says whatever I think – I am. If I think I’m a loser – then I’ll most likely be a loser, If I think I’m a winner in life – then I’m most likely to be a winner in life. If I think about happy things – I’ll be a happy person, If I think about being generous all the time – I’ll be a generous person…..whatever I think in my heart, so I am.
There’s a reason the Bible says so many positive things about you (E.G. YOU are blessed, YOU are an over comer, YOU are born of God, YOU are Righteous, YOU are a child of God, Whatever YOU ask for in prayer will be given to YOU, When YOU draw near to God He draws near to you, YOU will prosper in everything YOU do etc.) It’s because God is wanting you to THINK about these things in order for you to BECOME one of these things.
You maybe slightly offended by what I’m saying because it sounds too much like the modern motivational theme of “Power of Positive thinking” – I just want to say one thing: THE BIBLE TALKS OF THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING!
The Bible may not use the exact term; POSITIVE THINKING – But it does use the Biblical phrases like MEDITATE ON THE LAW or MEDITATE ON YOUR WORD – which really – is old speak for positive thinking.
In order to become an overcomer – you need to think like an overcomer
Romans 12:2
….be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
And when other thoughts jump into your head saying you are a loser, a sinner, a two-faced hypocrite (sound familiar?) – You need to assert your authority over those thoughts and think about how God sees you.
2 Corinthians 10:5
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
