Kingdom Thoughts

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”

Philippians 4:8-9

 

 

So what is the process of how a thought (or thoughts) eventually becomes a lifestyle?

Whether it is a good or an evil thought, the process is the same.

It is sown in your mind as you receive the thought.

It is germinated in your heart as you meditate on the thought.

It is produced in your behavior as you cooperate with the thought.

It is harvested in your lifestyle as you live out the ‘DNA’ of the thought.

Yes, that’s right – our thoughts are harvested in our lifestyle as we live those thoughts out.

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…”

We have talked about the power of our words but we must understand our thoughts also can be transformative to us – for good or for evil.

This is probably not a surprise to anyone.

The evidence of it is all around us.

Violent video games – impact our thoughts.

Violent movies and television do the same.

But the opposite is also true.

Fill your mind with good and wholesome thoughts and the harvest is wonderful.

Don’t bury your head in the sand concerning these principles.

Ignoring what you meditate on and how you think will not change the harvest.

A farmer can sow a field of corn and, in due season, he will reap corn.

Do you want a mind transformed by Kingdom thinking?

It won’t happen unless you meditate on Kingdom thoughts!
