A big part of your walk with God is based on positive thinking. The more postivly we think, the easier it becomes to believe God's promises, to enjoy things and life, to become more active and closer to God, and to have more joy and happiness in your life.
So how do we become positive thinkers? Well, believe it or not but the world teaches you to think negativly. Wrong! God does not dwell in the negative, God is positive. God is love and light, in Him is no darkness at all. We are called to become more like God, we are created in His image. This includes changing our thought patters to match His. The Word of God says that we have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:26). So one of the ways of putting off the old man nature is also to put off the old man thinking habit which was conformed to the world, and change your mind and your thought pattern with it.
Think positive! Be positive! Live positive! Take every thought into the captivity of the obedience of Christ!
2 Cor. 10:5:
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.
Jesus says that we are to become like little children. How do little children think? They think positivly. If you don't believe me, then watch one. Kids are very positive. Think of when you were a kid, I bet you were a lot more postive. You were going to be a doctor, or a baseball player, or an astronaught. The skies were the limit, you believed in yourself in everything. You thought positivly and it affected who you were and what you saw. Positive people are also just more enjoyable to be around. They seem to lift everyone in the room around them. I'm sure you can think of at least one positive person you like to hang around. Let's all think more positivly!
God Bless
