In Matthew 16:23 Jesus said, "You are a stumbling block to me. You think as men think, not as God thinks."
The Great Positive Secret is that we must learn to think as God thinks.
Jesus said that when we think like men we stumble. How we think and what we think is extremely important. Wrong thinking trips us up.
We need a new way of thinking. We need to think as God thinks.
When we think like God thinks, we get in agreement with God about who we are and what we can do with His help.
The Positive Thinking Secret is based on the fact that not all thoughts and emotions are created equal when they enter the human heart and mind. Many thoughts and emotions are frankly destructive; they make us sick and tear us apart.
On the other hand, the most powerful force and most positive force in the universe is God's love, and when His love gets inside our heart and mind, our thoughts and emotions are healthy and positive. When God's love controls our heart and mind, a positive operating system assumes control of the way we think and feel.
Positive thinking works because it is the natural software for your mind. God designed a positive software package that would permit your mind to function at full capacity and maximum efficiency. He created your mind to work best with a positive operating system. Positive thinking is not just a good idea. It's the way God designed your mind to work.
When the positive power of God's love controls your heart and mind, you are thinking the way God intends for you to think. Your thoughts are positive, and your emotions are healthy.
Although it might seem presumptuous to believe that humans can actually think the thoughts of God, we must always remember that God created us in his image, and He gave us the ability to think and feel. It's reasonable to assume that God must have designed our minds to function best when we fill our minds with certain types of thoughts. It's also reasonable to assume that God designed our hearts to function best when certain types of emotions fill our heart.
The Creator of the universe actually did have a plan for our hearts and minds, and that plan forms the foundation of the Positive Secret.
When your mind is full of thoughts consistent with God's love, your thoughts are healthy and your mind is exactly the way God means for it to be. When your heart is full of emotions consistent with His love, your emotions are healthy, and they are exactly the way God means for them to be. This forms the corner stone and focus of all Positive Christian Psychology.
When you think the way that God thinks, your heart and mind are full of God's love. Your thoughts are positive and your emotions are healthy. They are exactly the way God means for them to be.
When dysfunction, despair, depression, negativity and anxiety take over your heart and mind, you are not thinking the way God thinks. You have it all wrong, and until you get it right, your life will be harder than it needs to be, and if you fill your heart and mind with the toxic waste of the twenty-first century, there is a good chance you will become sick.
The cure for what ails the human heart and mind is a liberal dose of God's love.
You must fill your mind with thoughts consistent with God's love until those thoughts reign supreme.
You must fill your heart with emotions consistent with God's love to drive the toxic negative emotions out of your mind. You must learn to think thoughts of love, and let love percolate down into your heart so you start feeling good once again.
There is no mystery here. You must simply start thinking the way God thinks.
