The Power of Thoughts

Excerpts from Launch Out into the Deep by Uyoyou C. Charles-Iyoha

Thoughts are powerful as they make or mar divine destinies depending on what a person allows in his or her thought processes. Thoughts impact people even more than their environments and relationships. Thoughts create, give direction, enrich, impoverish, and make or mar a person. Thoughts also kill, save, empower and disempower. Thoughts become words, desires, visions and dreams. When thoughts are expressed as words, they take on flesh and progress to ideas, opinions, visions; dreams which when implemented become actions that are either positive or negative. Thoughts birth desires, plans, opinions, dreams and visions. Thoughts are therefore building blocks. Just as blocks are set on a land to produce a building, so also thoughts set one on the other build or destroy destinies.

People are bound or limited when the devil holds them bound in their thoughts and imaginations. The Gadarene Demoniac was bound in his mind and could only think straight and wear clothes and stop hurting himself when Jesus set him free from the demons that took over his mental faculties and were controlling his actions and utterances.  That is why the Bible says to guard your heart with all diligence and gird up the loins of your mind for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Matthew Chapter 12 verses 34 to 37.

Thoughts give direction – as a man thinks so is he (Proverbs Chapter 23 verse 7). The ten spies saw themselves as grasshoppers before the inhabitants of the land of Canaan. That singular thought in their hearts that they were small before the giants gave them direction – they would rather return to Egypt and serve as slaves than go face giants and die. That thought formed a stronghold against the promise and truth of God to them.

The devil still uses this strategy effectively. All he requires is an evil limiting thought to place in your heart and once you accept it like the ten spies did, that thought rules you and grounds your life to the often stagnating plans of the devil and his cohorts for your life. That is why you must never permit any thought that is not of God in your spirit, soul and body. But if unfortunately such thoughts have taken root in your spirit, soul and body, ask God to forgive you for accepting a lie of the devil, then ask for cleansing of your thinking faculty and imagination and further ask God for healing so that you can be free of such satanic incursion and interference in your life in Jesus mighty name,

Beloved, God is able to set you free from the pollution of a warped and distorted imagination so that your heart can receive and accept the truth of His Word so that faith will rise in your heart to run with the Word of God to soar above the ceilings and limits the devil thought to set over you with his lying thoughts and words. Be free to soar with the truth of God’s Word.

Satanically induced thoughts that have crystallized into strongholds are great fortifications through which the devil and his cohorts have a free day. However, God is greater and mightier than any force and can destroy every stronghold no matter how long it has stayed and no matter how entrenched it is in the life of the people concerned. Even strongholds that are more fortified than the walls of Jericho come crashing down at the Word of God, in the name of Jesus Christ. Do not be afraid. Whatever the enemy has done, God is able to undo. Please see 1^st John Chapter 3 verse 8. A stronghold is one of the works of the devil that Jesus Christ came to destroy. Please see also 1^st Corinthians Chapter 10 verses 3 to 6.

Think strategically, digest Philippians Chapter 4 verse 8 and be transformed to who God created you to be.
