I just finished reading a book titled, "Psycho-Cybernetics." It sounds crazy and way out there doesn't it? However, it is not. Yes, it is a book about Psychology and more specifically how our thoughts affect everything we do. There were a lot of principles in the book that actually have a biblical foundation. The Word of God has a lot to say about our thought life.
The Word is emphatic about calling us, believers in Jesus Christ, "conquerors", actually it says, we are "more than conquerors." It is a stated fact! You, yes you (the one reading this blog), are more than a conqueror. However, we must be convinced of this in our mind, in our thought life, before we will ever see it actualized in our life.
The book had a lot to say about the auto mechanism of our sub conscious. This can be programed as a success mechanism or a failure mechanism. For many it is filled with negative thoughts about life, ourselves, and others; therefore, many are filled with thoughts of "I can't" or "there is no way" or "that is impossible." However, if we can make our auto mechanism in our sub conscious become a "success mechanism" (negative thoughts are replaced with positive thoughts) then we can begin to see ourselves doing great things; suddenly the impossible becomes possible. We begin to see our potential instead of road blocks.
The Good News is, as believers we can do this because we have the power of the Holy Spirit living in our lives. We have the Word of God to tell us who we are and how we should think. "Think on these things" said the Apostle Paul.
May our prayer today be, "Lord, help me to see the potential, the possibilities, the great adventure you have laid out before me. Lord, help me not to define myself by my past disappointments or failure. Help me to see who I am in you today." Go out and conquer the world!
This is today,
Pastor Gary
