Fixing

Gallery Leave a comment

Day 6

Soul Detox

Hebrews 3 encourages us to fix our thoughts on Jesus; however, that can be difficult with so many toxic things trying to capture our thoughts away from Him. Our thoughts are so easily influenced by such toxic things as influences, relationships, and words. Strive to block out and remove all of the toxic things polluting your life and instead fix your thoughts on Jesus. Fixing your thoughts on Him is critical in filtering out all of the toxins in your life.

How different is your life when you focus your thoughts on what is true and good rather than on toxic things?

Our passage reading for today is Hebrews 3:1-6. Click HERE to read.

13 Instead, keep exhorting each other every day, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you will become hardened by the deceit of sin.

via Hebrews 3 CJB – Therefore, brothers whom God has set – Bible Gateway.

So how is your day-to-day different for you when you focus on JESUS instead of toxic thinking? And does this verse say to us if we keep on with our toxic thinking that our hearts will become hardened?

Happy Saturday my Friends,

Toxic Word Dump

Day 5

Soul Detox

A toxic thought contains poisonous material that can cause sickness and even death. We will identify and reject all toxic thoughts and we will replace those thoughts with God’s truth.

In what ways do you renew your mind and focus your thoughts on God’s truth?

Our reading passage for today is Romans 12:1-21. Click HERE to read.

21 Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.

via Romans 12 CJB – I exhort you, therefore, brothers, in – Bible Gateway.

We conquer toxic (evil) thinking with Scripture (good) thinking. Scripture WILL over come evil WHEN we apply it.  It is so easy to get caught up in thought. That word train starts off with one thought and before we know it we are half way across the country ready to jump off a cliff because of our own failures or ready to push someone else over because of theirs.  Brethren and Sisters this ought not to be so.  Romans 12 says so. 

Cleaning up a toxic word dump is the hardest work we will ever do. It’s slow and it’s painful. What we must decide is — is it worth it?

Ezekiel 18:20 King James Version (KJV)

20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

via Ezekiel 18:20 KJV – The soul that sinneth, it shall die. – Bible Gateway.

In the vernacular of old:  Every tub must sit on its own bottom. I cannot blame another for my toxic thoughts, nor my toxic deeds. Neither can you.

with me today  to Heart 2 Heart. Below is an excerpt. When you have read here go THERE.

Today I Will Make A Difference


Such wisdom can be found reading any of Max Lucado’s books and I got this via email today. I had to share it because I believe someone else needs to hear it besides me. Enjoy!

Today I Will Make a Difference

Today I will make a difference. I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy and hopeful. I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I will not let petty inconveniences such as stoplights, long lines, and traffic jams be my masters. I will avoid negativism and gossip. Optimism will be my companion, and victory will be my hallmark. Today I will make a difference.

Be sure to pop on over to Heart 2 Heart for the rest. And perhaps you will check out some other of Kat’s postings.

A brief update and I will call this a post for Monday.

Summer is going well. GRANDS and I are enjoying each others’ company. I’m not getting a lot of writing time as you are well aware; not doing a lot of reading either but I believe a lot of ‘spiritual gardening’ is going on. I believe Jesus in me is making a difference.

Please continue to keep up your praying for our PFT and for me, if you will. I have some ‘wonder if I should-s’ and some ‘could it be-s’ taking up some thought and prayer space. A prayer or two for me to clearly discern ABBA’s Will would not be wasted. Much JESUS love and thank you-s to you all.

We have the God-given Right to do right in this wrong World,
