Thoughts are things! Thoughts are tangible entities. You have likely observed that negative thinking can lead to increased feelings of depression, fear, or risk aversion. Conversely, positive thinking can enhance your mood and your daily experiences. Thoughts possess energy, influence emotions, and have the power to shape your life. The Bible instructs us to take all thoughts captive, which involves examining their veracity. If you think, "I'll never recover," you are perpetuating a falsehood, as God has promised to heal all diseases. Similarly, thinking "I'll never find the right person to marry" reinforces a lie, strengthening a neural network. Every time you think a thought, you fortify it; when you think in alignment with God's word, you strengthen your fortress of hope. Do you want to think like God or Satan? The choice is yours, but it necessitates renewing your mind. You must engage with God's word more frequently than worldly literature, as everything you hear in the world contains lies and misinformation due to our fallen existence.
