"For the word of God is living and active . . ." {Hebrews 4:12 NASB}
Recite Scripture preferably out loud. This will help you to discipline your thought life.
You can also recite partial Scriptures.
Some examples follow.
"Be anxious for nothing . . ." {Philippians 4:6 NASB}
"Trust in Him at all times . . ." {Psalm 62:8 NASB}
"Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." {John 14:27 NIV}
"Be holy, for I am holy." {1 Peter 1:16 NKJV}
"I will set nothing wicked before my eyes . . ." {Psalms 101.3 NKJV}
". . . whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right . . . think about these things." {Philippians 4:8 NASB}
" . . . whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right . . . " {Philippians 4:8 NASB}
Reciting two Scriptures is especially effective.
Example:
- "Do not let your hearts be troubled . . ." {John 14:27 NIV}
- ". . . whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right . . . think about these things." {Philippians 4:8 NASB}
Commentary:
- Reciting Scripture brings supernatural power to bear on the issue at hand.
- Scripture, in of itself, has intrinsic power: It is 'living and active.'
- Reciting Scripture, however, is more effective when combined with faith and obedience
- Believe and do what you are affirming.
- The advantage of reciting a short Scripture is that this can be done more often; it requires less effort.
- This approach will work even if the thoughts are not the result of spiritual warfare..
Synopsis:
