Philippians 4:8 (KJV)
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Thoughts have power, and they create realities. What you think about, you become; it’s as simple as that. This is why the Word of God talks about your thought life so much. Thoughts chart the course of your life. In the verse above, God didn’t only instruct us to guard our hearts against the wrong thoughts from passing through, but He also specifically told us the kind of thoughts to allow.
There are people who have heard something that wasn’t true, or honest, or pure, or of good report, yet they kept it in their minds until it controlled their lives and led to depression. Some will hold onto longstanding grudges, and all that does is produce an even more negative state of being. Don’t brood over anything that’s detrimental to your spirit. Rather, make a practice of forming the right images in your mind in consistency with the Word. Think so!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I think only on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of a good report, virtuous and praiseworthy. I shall prosper as a result, in Jesus' Name, hallelujah!
