COUNTERING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

Author: Prophet Cosmas Inyang

BEAUTIFUL BIBLE VERSE:

Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is lovely and of good reputation; if there is an excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [ center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]

Philippians 4:8 (Amplified Bible)

What one thinks about continually has the likelihood of manifesting.

Look at what Job said in Job chapter 3 verse 25, he said, for the thing I greatly feared has come upon me.

This means that he was continually thinking about the fear that he might one day lose all.

When a thought of fear about anything comes, push it away by speaking out loud God’s word to it.

Do not dwell or continue to think on fear or negativities.

Note that the constant fears and constant negative thinking comes before the sudden negative manifestation.

If there is any fear that has been coming to you regularly, please open your mouth and speak to it now.

Don’t allow the enemy to plant negative seeds in the garden of your life.

Practice this everyday: whenever any negative thought comes to your mind, immediately speak to it with the positive and powerful word of God.

Whenever you have a bad dream, the very moment you wake up, speak to it. Speak the positive word of God to it.

After that, anytime your mind tries to revisit that bad dream or negative thought, intentionally shift your mind to focus on positive things from the word of God.

You must pay attention to your thoughts, because one way the enemy attacks people is through their thoughts.

The enemy sends negative thoughts to people and constantly make them to continue to think on those negative things.

The enemy uses this strategy even to counter prayers.

Negative thoughts are the fiery darts of the enemy.

And the Bible says we should use the shield of faith to block the fiery darts of the enemy.

As you engage in prayers, it is also important that you guard your mind.

See what the Bible says in Proverbs chapter 4 verse 23, watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the spring of life.

Can you see that the Bible instructs us to watch over our mind with all diligence.

This means that we are to check every thought that comes to our mind.

Philippians chapter 4 verse 8, instructs us to think continually on positive things from The Word of God and that we should center our mind on them, and implant them in our heart.

Start practicing this now.

SAY THIS OUT LOUD MANY TIMES:

In The Name of The Lord Jesus, I cancel every negative thought from the past.

I pull down every stronghold in my mind.

I now decide to think and focus continually on positive things from The Word of God.
