As You Think
Proverbs 23:7
For As He Thinketh In His Heart, So Is He
Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Our behavior is controlled by the words that we have inside of us, whether they are words of life or words of death. So think about who is giving you those thoughts you are having. The spiritual battle we all face is won or lost by the words we allow to rule in our thoughts. Our thoughts will either draw us closer to the Lord Jesus Christ or further away.
We think an average of seven thoughts a second. Based on those figures, in a years’ time, we would have thought about 219,971,200 thoughts. If you multiply that figure by 70 (70 years) you get fifteen billion, forty million, twelve thousand and eight hundred thoughts. Who is in control of those thoughts? God or the Devil? Are the thoughts in your mind bringing you victory or defeat?
The mind is the control tower, it sends orders to the rest of your members and causes them to submit. That is why the devil puts up such a fight for control of your mind. You see, once his thoughts are in your mind he is in control and God is out of control. The mind is the foundation of your success and victory. So you have to know how to stay God conscience and to fortify it. So don’t just put any kind of thought in your mind. Remember, every thought you think affects you on an eternal basis. So fleece your thoughts with The Word of God. Guard your thoughts at all times.
Don’t let anything take the place of the Lord in your mind.
2 Corinthians 10: 4-5
For The Weapons Of Our Warfare Are Not Carnal, But Mighty Through God To The Pulling Down Of Strong Holds;) Casting Down Imaginations, And Every High Thing That Exalteth Itself Against The Knowledge Of God, And Bringing Into Captivity Every Thought To The Obedience Of Christ
Your mind has been called full time into the Gospel of Jesus Christ you are not to be part-time in the gospel. Your quality of thinking should coincide with God’s character and His character never wavers. In short, your thinking should be based on The Word of God at all times. You should acknowledge God in all aspects of your life to include your thoughts. (IGABTTMHO All Rights Reserved)
STAY MOTIVATED
The last couple of days have been a battle against staying in a depressive state. This is a struggle that I’ve talked about often. For me to get myself back on track I have to constantly feed my mind positive thoughts and I have to get my body moving. If I do not do this then I can run the risk of being down for days. What do I mean by moving? Well, all the activities I feel like I don’t have the energy for I make an effort to still get to Zumba class or make my entrepreneur meeting. If I go down I am more likely to stay down so movement becomes key. What do I mean by feeding my mind positive thoughts. For instance, I will tell myself get up and make class, you can do it, it’s okay baby girl, remember you are loved, you’ve come so far let’s go further, God got your back, etc. This helps me stay motivated instead of defeated. This helps me feel like I’ve accomplished my day to day task instead of feel like I’m letting everyone and everything down. It’s hard work, but I remind myself I am up for the challenge.
Getting Admitted
Getting Admitted
2. You may have a long wait (but don’t let that discourage you)
3. You will be asked many questions so be patient and if possible know what medications you or your loved one is taking
4. The first Doctor you may see may not be a Psychiatrist, many times the Psychiatrist will have to be called to the emergency room for an evaluation. So be prepared to tell your story more than one time.
5. Even if you feel that you or your loved one is experiencing a mental health event that requires admission into a hospital, the doctor at the hospital may not feel the same way. So be prepared to make a case. Yes, sometimes you have to make a case for admission. If there are very few beds, if the Doctor thinks that you or your loved one can be stabilized with a medication change and sent back home the same night or you have insurance issues, then you or your loved one may not be admitted.
