Power in Thinking
Part- 1

Opening prayer

O Heavenly Father we thank you for this gift of life. Thank You Lord that life flows through You. Lord, all of us here are struggling with different issues in life.
Oh Lord, by the power of Your spirit, let your Word touch every heart and mind and bring demonstrative power.
And we believe O Lord, that we will never be the same again. We thank you and praise you Father in Jesus' name. Amen.

We are going to study a very interesting topic called the 'Power in Thinking'.

What you think and how you think has the power to either build you up or tear you down.

Heb. 11:1 -- "Now faith is the substance, the assurance, the realization, the title deed of the things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"
"Faith is the substance of the things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"

God says FAITH will work in things that you hoped for. Hope according to Wikipedia is the "feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best" or "feeling that something desired may happen". Hope is always connected to your thinking.

Genesis 1: 1 - 3 - - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said," Let there be light"; and there was light.

When we read the above scripture, we know that God is confronted with a problem. The whole earth is without form and void, there is water all over and there is darkness. God can see the darkness, but in His mind He makes an image of "light" and He opens His mouth and speaks it out - He says "Let there be light ". The moment God speaks out aloud, "light" comes into existence.

God is revealing to us a mighty secret. He is telling us that since we are created in His likeness and image or to put it simply "like Him", we have the same power as Him in our thinking. Like Him, if we think a thought, and open our mouth and speak that thought, we are releasing a power that will go forth and make those thoughts happen in our life i.e. Bring those things into manifestation

Our mind is where the battle is either won or lost!
