Where do we go when our thoughts run rampant with negativity? Is there a reset button for our toxic way of thinking? Pointing us back to the center of all truth is truth Himself. The Word of God. Let’s look at what scripture speaks to us in regards to living abundantly – Mind, Body, and Spirit. When the flesh rises up to take us down these toxic paths of unbelief – we can be ready to stand and fight with the sword we’ve been given – God’s Word.
Be ready to meditate and believe what His Word says as truth. Fill up your mind with these things and stand boldly against the lies that so easily try to beset us on this journey. We are awesomely created in His image and we really are Mind, Body & Spirit.
Mind
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Spirit

John 4:23-24
So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.”

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Romans 8:5-6
He delights in our full wellness. Why? It brings glory to Him when our full-being is used for His service, His kingdom work, and His redemption plan. He has made us new in Him. No longer slaves to sin, toxic thoughts and futile thinking of this world. But, our flesh is weak and so we must be planted deep, rooted daily so that we are ready to combat the weapons that would try to prosper against us. We know that in Christ we are victorious!
Standing on His Word – hand in hand, Friends!
With lots of love and expectation!
