Train your brain

There are many books and seminars on the power of training our brain to change our lives for the better. These can be helpful, but the emphasis is on our human strength to achieve results. As believers in Jesus, we need to train our brain to trust God and think positive thoughts that are founded on his word. Joyce Meyer's teachings often emphasise looking to God to find positivity and the power of positive thoughts using God's promises.

There are many studies conducted on the power of positive thinking. In one, Dr Becca Levy of Yale University found that 'a positive attitude towards ageing was greater than physiological measures such as low blood pressure and cholesterol,' each of which is believed to add a maximum of four years to a person's life. The same study revealed that optimistic people live longer than people who always worry, and that a positive attitude can add years to life.

God is a positive God! His first reaction after creating the world was: 'Then God saw everything that he had made, and indeed it was very good' (Genesis 1:31 NKJV). His word also says, 'The joy of the Lord is your strength' (Nehemiah 8:10 NKJV). And that's not just spiritual strength, but physical, mental and emotional strength. To have a healthier life, we must have a healthier mind, and that starts with thinking positively instead of negatively. So, using God's amazing promises, let's train our brain.



So what now? Ask God to help you train your brain in his positive thinking.
