Be grateful

1 Thessalonians 5:18: “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

When unfavorable circumstances surround us we tend to concentrate on bad stuff in life. We start complaining and forget plenty of good things that happen in our lives daily. No wonder we often experience negative feelings such as depression, apathy, anger, disappointment and etc. Try to think of all the good that you have ever experienced. I promise you will feel better. Then start giving thanks to God for these things. Not only will you feel better. You will definitely experience joy and happiness. So, be grateful to God.

What are your thoughts

Proverbs 23:7: “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, But his heart is not with you.”

People often wonder why they behave the way they do. They say: “I do not know why I did this”, or “I do not know how I did this”. You thought about it. Maybe it was a spontaneous action, but your actions still represented your attitude and your attitude is best expressed by your thoughts. Change your thoughts and you will change your actions. Then you will not have to continue asking the same dumb question “Why I did this”. You are as you think. Any change starts inside. Let God helps us to undergo this inside out change and inspire us to change our thoughts.

Don’t let past control your future

“People so often develop limiting beliefs about who they are and what they're capable of. Because they haven't succeeded in the past, they believe they won't be able to succeed in the future. As a result, out of their fear of pain, they begin to constantly focus on being "realistic." Most people who constantly say, "Let's be realistic," are really just living in fear, deathly afraid of being disappointed again. Out of that fear, they develop beliefs that cause them to hesitate, to not give their all—consequently they get limited results. Great leaders are rarely "realistic" by Anthony Robbins. 

I have already written on two realities: visible and invisible. Your visible reality is based on your five senses and your past experiences and would often place limitations on you as they do not belong to the sphere of faith. Invisible reality is based on faith. You may not find a logical explanation why you can be successful, but if you believe you can you really can. Faith is one of the greatest powers in the world. Anything great that has been achieved has been done by the power of faith. No realists are remembered by history. People who were visionary, faith men and women are remembered forever. Do you want to leave a trail in history? Be a faith person and do not allow your past to control your future.  

Your beliefs shape you

“So often we're seduced into believing that events control our lives and that our environment has shaped who we are today. No greater lie was ever told. It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean” by Anthony Robbins. 

We like blaming others for things that happen to us and bad circumstance in our lives. People often blame God, parents, school, education and you name it what else for bad luck in their lives. However, they fail to realize that they are really responsible for whatever takes place in their lives. Their beliefs regarding those outside events and people (close or distant) are the real causes of their problems. Change your beliefs and you will change yourself. This is how happiness or unhappiness comes and leaves us.

7 Positive thoughts for healing from Bible

This post will give you fives positive quotes from the Bible regarding healing with brief comments of mine about each verse. Hope those will inspire you to believe that you can be healed. God bless you. 

Proverbs 12:18: “The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”

Comment: Words have power to heal or bring diseases. Watch what your mouth speaks. You may bless or curse yourself with your own words.

Jeremiah 33:6: “‘Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.”

Comment: Israel sinned against God and different afflictions and illnesses came to their lives. Nevertheless, God is good and He heals his people. 

Ezekiel 47:12: “Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”

Comment: This is a promise of redemption. Jesus died not only for our sins, but also for our diseases. Trust his redemption.

Matthew 4:23: “Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.”

Comment: Take note that Jesus healed all manner of diseases and illnesses. That includes your trouble.

Luke 9:6: “So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.”

Comment: Wherever good news is preached, diseases are healed. That is part of the gospel. 

Acts 10:38: “how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.”

Comment: A source of all diseases identified: it is the power of the devil. And Jesus breaks the power of the source by the power of the Holy Spirit. 

Psalm 103:2-3: “Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases…”

Comment: The Lord has a lot of benefits for you. It starts with forgiving your sins and continues with healing your diseases. The best part is that he forgives all of your sins and He heals all of your diseases. 

Conclusion:

Good is good and he has positive news for you. He wants to heal you. Physical healing is part of his redemption plan. Take courage, you are not forgotten. Pray to Him for deliverance and He will answer you. 

Yours with love,

Vytas.
