MIND OVER MATTER-part 2
I am still thinking along the same lines as before. This “thinking/mind” thing.
Ok, the Bible says in Proverbs 23:7 “For as he thinks in his “heart”, so is he.” Notice that it does not say, “For as he thinks in his “mind” so is he”, no in his “heart”. The heart, to me, is the inner most part of me, that deep region, the sub-conscious. What we really believe is in our sub-conscious realm. That is why we manifest what we do. We can think in our conscious mind all day about being healthy, or wealthy, etc., and we can speak all our affirmations, and verses; but if we really don’t believe it in our “deepest regions”, in our sub-conscious mind/heart, “It ain’t gonna happen”.
This “inner region/heart” is our “knowing place”. What we really know to be true.
I heard someone say the other day that they could not retire yet, and just believe God to be their source and their supply – their paycheck. They said, ‘I don’t have that kind of faith.” Yes, they do. We all do. It is just that her faith is in her job. Her source and her supply is her job. She believes strongly in her job to supply a paycheck every week. She has faith in her company to be there for her. I am by no means putting her down, because I have to examine my own faith, my own heart. I look around at my outer circumstances, and I have to admit that everything that I have is a result of my faith, my true consciousness, my heart, my “real” belief.
I want to have the same kind of faith that she has in her job, except I want to have that faith in God, and His Word.
I am thinking that I need to reprogram my sub-conscious mind/heart. I need for my heart to believe that I really can do all things through Christ which strengthens me, and that I can be doing greater things than Jesus did.
How do I do this? I think that it is through prayer, and meditation; meditation being the key. I have to focus on Christ within as my “all in all”. I have to stop listening to the world, and doing things its’ way. I think it would probably help me to fast from the news, from people that only want to talk about their woes, and how bad the economy is, from my own words & thoughts, etc. Now this is not an easy thing to change, especially at my age. This will take discipline, a lot of focused discipline.
I also think that the world knows about programming our sub-conscious mind, thus the media has us all in a hypnotic state, believing everything that we are told.

I agree 100%. It's when we get to the state of "knowing" that we can think like God thinks and receive HIS bountiful blessings he has for us!

Keep on thinkin', Brenda, and writing.
Yes, reprogramming the sub-conscious is quite a challenge considering lots of the time we don't fully understand what we have programmed "in" there.
We are making progress just by beginning to acknowledge that we are aware. We CAN be transformed by renewing our minds. We CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens us as we WAKE UP!
Keep it comin'!!
