Stop It

Stop It!
We all have challenges in our lives, some big and some small. Most of the time we get through the challenges and move onto the next without considerable concern. However, there are times when our guards are down or fatigue wares us down and we succumb to fear.
It all starts with a thought, mostly from the words of other people as they plant seeds of their own fears in our garden of thoughts. The sad thing is, we let them without any discernment or qualifying.
The good news is, you have the power to hold every thought captive. Stop the thoughts before they enter your soul.
- When a new thought comes ask, is this thought based in fear or is it a life-giving thought?
- If the thought is based in fear, stop thinking that thought immediately and redirect your attention to the opposite.
- If the thought is founded in life, love and promotion, embrace it by meditating on it's goodness towards your life and what you life will look like after its adoption.
- Move into a state of praise and gratitude. A grateful heart prospers much.
- If your behaviour has been modified because of the acceptance of negative thoughts into your life.... Stop it.
- Stop the behaviour and do the opposite - that's what repentance is; It's acknowledging and turning away from a negative/harmful state of being and re-aligning your soul with the way God intended it to be.
- Practice good and healthy thoughts that build up your identity.
Today I was thinking about living as a victim. There are many people I know who live a life in despair, fear and constant defeat. It's as if they are carrying around a dead person. They live a life in a self-imposed imprisonment. It's so sad.
What if it's true? “In the beginning, God created (Creator of the Universe)”, if we have heart knowledge of this fact the experience of life changes dimensions to one of position and privilege. From position and privilege comes gratitude and abundance.
We all worry from time to time, but wise people have learned to avoid over-anxiety by following these guidelines.
Living From Purity is about choosing to live the way God intended. Resisting the need to find value in people of the world's system.
This day will never come again and anyone who fails to eat and drink and taste and smell it will never have it offered again in all eternity.
Today is a new beautiful amazing day, fully pregnant with potential, happiness and hope. And the great news is we get to live it the way we choose.
Our generation is so busy trying to prove that women can do everything men can do, women are losing the unique qualities that set women apart.
