Did you know that the average person has between 25,000 and 50,000 thoughts per day? And much of your behavior depends on your thoughts and attitudes! While playing athletics I developed a saying to motivate me each morning: “I am alive, alert, awake, joyous, and enthusiastic about life!”

Although I had to rise each morning at 5 am for basketball practice, I would lie awake most nights with aching joints due to my rapid growth. How did I get up each morning? I programmed myself!  I learned that getting control of my thoughts allowed me to control my actions!

Behavior is defined as the way in which one conducts oneself, especially toward others. It is also defined as the way in which a person responds to a particular situation or stimulus. By evaluating our behavior patterns, both to internal and external stimuli, we discover new levels of self-awareness.

For the next two days I will be sharing some tips that can help you take control of your thoughts and attitudes and move toward a healthier you!

Many people lose the manifestation of healing already in operation by turning their attention from Christ and the Word of God, to their feelings.

Every time we confess our doubt and fears we deny the ability of God’s grace, and are giving place for the devil to take hold.

If we want to know what is in a person’s will, we read the will. If we want to know the will of God on any subject, we must read His will!

Many people fail to receive what they pray for because of lack of understanding about confession. The word confession in the Greek language means “saying the same thing.”

This means we are to believe and say only what God says about our sins, sicknesses and everything else included in our redemption. When our affirmation is the Word of God, He watches over it to make it good.

There is no better way to understand the will of God than by reading the gospels. The life of Jesus was a revelation and a manifestation of the unchanging love and will of God. He acted out the will of God for us!

Our faith moves God into action, so start praising God and begin thanking Him for being healed and delivered. Instead of listening to the devil and his lies, make him listen to you praising God for His promises!

The practice of medicine is a blessing of the Lord given to us by God, and I encourage you to pray for your doctor. Pray that he or she would have wisdom in working with you, but remember, we are not to accept the doctors’ report as the final report. Instead, believe the Word of God that proclaims, “By His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).  

There is no condition too difficult for the Lord! Jesus healed every disease and sickness. The scripture promises that gifts of healings are available.

There are multiple gifts and multiple types of healing available for the infirmed. What an encouragement to realize that God has your condition covered!

When Jesus spoke, sickness, disease, poverty and affliction would flee. You and I are in the same structure of authority as Jesus. When we speak, things happen!
