History has been shaped by people who thought ‘what if?’. There is so much power in a thought.

1️⃣ Your thinking determines your living.

(Ecclesiastes 10:2) Our living is a result of our thinking. Everything in life begins with a thought. Every sin and every good action begins with a thought.(Romans 12:2) We need to let God change our thinking through his Word.

2️⃣ Your thinking determines how you feel

(Philippians 4:8) As we set our minds on the right things, God is able to give us peace in our hearts and our minds.

Q: Have you ever experienced how thinking about good things has changed how you felt for the better?

3️⃣ Your thinking determines your destiny

Your thinking drives the direction of your life. (Romans 8:5-6) We can have the peace of God when we set our minds on the things of God. We can’t always control the thoughts that come into our minds but we can capture them. You don’t have to think every thought you think.

🔵 4 ways to capture and change your thoughts

1 - Examine your thoughts.

(Hebrews 4:12)

Judge every thought you have against the Word of God. Is it of God?

Q: Are you often intentional about examining your thought? Or do you find this a difficult thing to do?

2 - Replace your thoughts

(Romans 12:2 NIV)

Replace the thoughts that aren’t from God with God’s Word.

Q: What is one thought that you know is NOT from God? And what does God’s word say about it?

3 - Direct your thoughts

(Isaiah 26:3/Colossians 3:2)

Think about what God says about you. Direct your thoughts to what God says about you.

4 - Grow your thoughts

(Hebrews 10:24-25)

You need to be surrounded by people who will grow the thoughts that will shape your life for the better! People that will cause you to grow with God BOLDLY!
