Thinking is Speaking
Matthew 9:20-21 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood for 12 years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment, for she said within her herself, “If I may but touch his garment I shall be whole”.
God does not only hear and answer words, he hears and answers even thoughts.
The woman with the issue of blood, said within herself. That was a thought. What she thought inside her was what occurred to her. This means, thinking is speaking, even when one does not say a thing with our mouth, our thought is saying it. God is not only answering our asking, he also answers our thinking. It is an established fact of life that what happens outside the body is a product of what happens within. Our internal environment controls our external manifestations. Our internal environment controls our external environment. What goes on inside of us is heavier than what goes on, on the outside of us. So our Internal environment directs our external Environment. What happens to me is a product of what happens in me because it is in my thoughts.
This is why the word of God clearly states in Proverbs 23:7 – For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, But his heart is not with you.
Things do not happen to people by accident most times, things happen to people according to their thoughts. God does not only answer your asking, he also answers your thinking.
Ephesians 3:20 – Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
We cannot think upward and stay downward, we cannot think forward and move backward, we cannot think authority and end up in captivity. Thus, each one of us must use the word of God and the light from it to direct our thought, renovate our mind, and fine tune our life.
No matter how hard we try, our life can never rise above our thoughts. We are in a generation where many of us are overwhelmed with the kind of thoughts we have, diverse thoughts and diverse pressures on the mind. It is important to know that one of the most powerful weapons in life is the Weapon of Thought. For a thought can make a life, a thought can also take away life. Thought can raise a life, thought can also ruin a life. Thought can assist someone to end an eternity in heaven whereas thought can also assist another person to end in eternity in hell fire. Thought has brought the greatest blessing upon the world. Thought has also brought the greatest damnation on earth.
I am sure that all of us are aware of what Adolf Hitler did, he wanted to rule the world which led to a devastating war that engulfed the whole world. Therefore, each one of us should realise how powerful our thoughts can be (Proverbs 4:23,23:7).
The quality of our thoughts determines the quality of our destiny. So our thoughts will determine results and it will also determine our destiny. Thus, we should examine our thoughts to ensure that it aligns with what God wants and then renew our mind by reading, studying and meditating on the word of God according to Joshua 1:8.
Thought will sponsor change and transformation, Romans 12:1, Luke 15:17. When our mind is renewed, our life is upgraded. When our thinking changes, our life changes too. When our thought pattern is reviewed, our destiny is revitalised. Every reality around us, today, is a product of our mentality. If I do not like how my life is, then I need to change my thought, for the place of thought is the place of destiny. For the right thought, attracts the voice of God.
Acts 10:19, Matthew 1:20
For the voice of God, can travel inside the right thought. God speaks to those who know how to think and think correctly. For what we think, determines what we hear.
Prayer
