Page 37 : To be deceived simply means to believe a lie

Page 37.....I think I can safely say that we all have times when we believe things that are not true because deceptive thoughts have become strongholds in our lives. Thoughts, whether they are true or false, positive or negative, build strongholds in our minds. Strongholds are places where our enemy the devil, hides in order to destroy god's good plan for us.

Page 43 : for us to walk in victory or enjoy the life Jesus died to give us you must understand the power of the word and work diligently with the holy spirit to learn to control what comes out of her mouth this requires controlling your thoughts you cannot control your words or thought without the grace of god's but when we want to do the right thing and ask for his help he always gives Grace and more Grace to help us

Page 45 let's say same things God says no matter what we think how we feel or how things look you and I have profound effect on her future if we speak positively in agreement with God we will have positive outcomes no one can get anything they want simple by saying they will have it but we can have what God wants us to have if we agree and co-operate with them if we think fear and speak for you we prevent herself from making progress and life we are imprisoned by her own thoughts and words instead of saying " I'm afraid" learn to say "when I feel fear, I will do it afraid."

I just read the word for today and it also speaks about talking positively. Here is what it says

Speak positively (2)

'I decided to forget my complaints...put away my sad face and be cheerful.' Job 9:27 NLT

Let's acknowledge that life is hard sometimes. And some of us have it harder than others. That's why the Bible says there is 'a time to cry and a time to laugh' (Ecclesiastes 3:4 NLT). But what if you keep 'crying' about life?

How can you reduce the strain and drain produced by negative self-talk? Here are three ways: (1) Cut and paste. Train yourself to recognise negative inner chatter the minute it starts and delete it immediately. If you have to, take a chainsaw to it. If it helps, make a 'time out' signal with your hands as a physical reminder to yourself. But don't stop there. Replace those negative thoughts with scriptural self-talk. 'Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles' (Proverbs 21:23 NKJV). (2) Tweak your tone. You know how the doctor says, 'This may sting a little,' as he jabs a needle into your arm? Borrow his technique and reduce big ugly blackhead wordage to smaller, unintimidating blemish terms. 'Impossible' is a brick wall compared to 'this may take some work'. Wouldn't you rather tackle a project that's 'challenging' rather than 'unmanageable'? (3) Be your own BFF (Blessed Friend Forever). Using your BFF voice, intentionally over-dub that negative droning voice inside you. Speak to yourself like you would to your very best friend. The Bible says, 'David... strengthened himself in the Lord his God' (1 Samuel 30:6 NKJV).

Reboot your mind. Reprogramme your thoughts. There's power in God's Word. So, whatever he says about you, start saying the same thing and watch your life change for the better.

Page 49 the feeling of fear is very real it can even manifest physically I believe fear can make a shake and sweat make your heart beat faster interrupt or normal breathing and provoke other physical symptoms but we can manage these sensations realistically if you remember that they are just feelings and that the fear of something bad happening is usually worse than actually deal with a situation that threatens us remember fear holds as back and prevent us from making progress in our life's
