Devotions:

          It all starts with a thought.  If we think about it, meditate on it, turn it over in our mind, we begin to dwell on it.  As we ponder these thoughts, we will begin to speak them and to act on them, whether they be negative or positive, whether they be Godly thoughts or sin.  It all begins with a thought that we allow.  We have the ability to also deny the thought but we must replace it with a different thought, a positive thought.  What we focus on and think on will eventually come out our mouth and when it comes out our mouth it will direct the path of our life.  Will we live in defeat or victory all depends upon what we allow into our thoughts.  As Christians we already have the victory in Christ Jesus but are we walking in it?  

           We replace the negative of the world with the word of God.  It takes a conscious effort to overcome the negative but by the power of the Spirit we can do it.  

            What we watch and what we read and what we listen to also plays a part in what we think about.  We must first govern what goes in to effect what is meditated on and what comes out.  

            "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer." (‭Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭14‬ KJV)

             Victory comes from relying on the greater one within you individually and collectively.  We are strong collectively as we gather together to worship God.  There is a collective anointing present through which we can be set free from hinderence in that anointing that we cannot set free by ourselves. 

               Where is your thought life? That will determine your victory!
