Years ago a wonderful man of God taught me that there are no "negative" thoughts with God. What? No negative thoughts? Seriously? I really couldn't even begin to imagine a life with no negativity! Believing for good and not just in God but for good in and by God? Too much!! All new revelation of truth for me.
Yesterday morning in my prayer time and in His presence, He reminded me of this that I had learned so many years ago. It was actually then (way back then) that I began to employ those principles in my life and saw such powerful results! Thank you, LORD! My entire life changed.
Through the years I've met so many Christians who have such difficulty entering into that reality in their Christian walk. It is a fight of faith and a careful guarding of heart and mind, to keep one's self in proper place with believing, when surrounded by those who are in opposition to these truths.
For some reason, the Holy Spirit was speaking about this to me, (yesterday) and in this way:
"No negative thought! Remember what that's like! Only believing the positive outcomes! Consider the 'root words' of negative and positive and you will find a hidden message to empower."
Negate: To deny; negative; nullify.
Negation: The act of denying; a denial; the absence or
opposite of what is actual, positive, or affirmative; also, a thing, or object
of thought, consisting in the absence of thought, consisting in the absence of
something positive; a negative thing; a nonentity.
Negative: Expressing or containing negation or denial; also,
expressing refusal to do something; refusing consent, as to a proposal;
involving or denoting subtraction.
Pose: To put or place; to lay down in words, asset, state,
or propound. To assume or hold a position or attitude for some artistic
purpose.
Posit: To place, put, or set; also, to lay down or assume as
a fact or principle; affirm; postulate.
Position: To place, put, et down. The act of placing of putting;; also, condition with
reference to place; location or situation; hence, a place occupied or to be
occupied, or a situation or site; a fortified position; proper or appropriate.
Positive: Arbitrarily laid down; determined by enactment or
convention; also, explicitly laid down or expressed; admitting of no question;
stated; express; definite; emphatic; also, confident in opinion or assertion,
as a person; fully assured. Also, concerned with or based on matters of
experience; practical; not speculative or theoretical; also, consisting in or
characterized by the presence or possession, as opposed to the absence or want,
of distinguishing or marked qualities or features.
Oh, yes! To think in opposition to all the "goodness" of God is to negate everything he has promised, thus, negativity. To believe in all that He has stated in his word to us, positions us and literally poses us for the corresponding outcome! Oh, my!!
Enough said I think!
Chalkin' it out with you...
