Today's Thought: Get Rid of Small Thinking

Good morning! Most people probably wouldn't even consider "small thinking" to be a sin. That's where we have to change our thinking FIRST. If we set up small and limited expectations of ourselves and our lives, that's what we'll get. The problem with that is God has so much more for us.

1. Think big! Renew your mind to God's language. For example: "Ask for the nations" (Psalm 2); "Speak to the mountain" (Mark 11); "your descendants shall be as numerous as the stars" (Genesis 15); "you shall possess the land" (Numbers 13), etc.  God uses BIG language and gives us big dreams.

2. Ask for what you want or settle for what you get.  Ephesians 3:20 says, "God is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we can ask or think."  Start asking and thinking the way God says to.

3. Never stop dreaming and envisioning a better life. In Acts 2:17 God says:

'In the last days I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.'

4. Don't be afraid of failure and disappointment.  If you shoot for the stars and end up on the moon, at least you've made progress.  Let go of fear-based thoughts.

5. Take your seat! What do I mean?  God has seated us with Jesus Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). We have been given a divine authority and divine point of view. That's how we need to look at life.  We are already positioned ABOVE our wildest dreams and expectations, so let's go get them!

THINK IT & SAY IT:

I give up small thinking.  I agree with God's way of looking at things, and God's language.  I decide to think bigger and bigger every day; and to ask for the things God said I could ask for.  

I accept the visions and dreams that the Holy Spirit wants to give me; and I let go of all fear-based thoughts.  I have been given power, love and a sound mind-to fulfill God's visions and dreams for my life.
