Guard your heart- stand against negativity!

Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life. (Proverbs 4:23 AMP)

We must be vigilant to what we allow to attach itself to our hearts or spirit. What thoughts or patterns of thinking do we allow to run our life. Negativity or patterns of thinking and attitudes that we allow can block the Life and the flow of Spirit in our life.

Sometimes we inherit ways of thinking and looking at life from our family. sometimes we build wrong thinking because of the perceived lessons that the circumstances of our life journey has taught us.

All of us could use a shift and renewal of how we think in some areas of our life. God desires to help us and if we allow, the Holy Spirit will lead and teach us a new way to think and live. The Holy Spirit will transform how we think and look at life. But first we must be aware of how we think, and be willing to give up these patterns of thinking. Scripture, calls these thought patterns, strongholds. This is because they have a firn foothold in our mind.

The world is unprincipled. It's dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn't fight fair. But we don't live or fight our battles that way—never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren't for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity. (2 Corinthians 10:3-6 MSG)
