Pastor Joel Osteen shares this sermon and message titled “Dealing With Negative Thoughts” where he teaches that our thoughts can either limit or empower us. He said that when you stay focused on God’s promises, you will be empowered to reach your God-given destiny.
He said that no matter how good of a person you are, how much faith you have, you’ll never get to the place where negative thoughts don’t come. Discouraging thoughts, “your dream is never going to come to pass, you’ll never meet the right person, it would have happened by now.” … thoughts of worry, “the medical report is not good, your child is off course, business is slowing down, what are you going to do?”
The enemy’s main tools are deception and lies. Your mind is the ‘bullseye’ of his target. If he can control your thinking, he can control your life. You can’t stop negative thoughts from coming, but here’s the key, just because a thought comes doesn’t mean you have to think it. You control the doorway to your mind. You’re in charge of what you give access to. That’s why the scripture tells us to guard our minds. Be selective in what you allow in. If the thought is negative, discouraging, bringing worry and fear, do yourself a favor don’t let it in.
