If\nyour thoughts are all negative so too will your confession be; and\nconsequently your whole life. Perhaps you're like that. You're avoiding\nhope to protect yourself against being hurt. This type of behaviour\nsets up a negative lifestyle. Everything becomes negative because your\nthoughts are negative. God\u2019s word does not promote negativism. The\nlonger you serve God, and study his word, the more you will realise the\ntremendous power in being positive - in thought and word. Your actions\nare a direct result of your thoughts. A negative mind will result in a\nnegative life, and a negative life is an unhappy life. But if you renew\nyour mind according to God's Word, you will, as Romans 12:2 promises, prove (in your experiences) \u201cthe good and acceptable and perfect will of God.\u201d It is a vital necessity that we line up our thoughts with God's thoughts. But this is a process that will take time and effort.
