Thinking or Speaking... There is a Difference!
It's not what we think that will come to pass in our lives, but what we say.
Proverbs 12:14 says, "A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth."
It's important to realize that it's not what we think that will come to pass in our lives but what we say, and it is critical to our success as a Christian we understand this biblical truth because Satan would have all of us believe that thinking alone is enough. Satan loves it when we think our way along and never give life to our thoughts by speaking. He does not want us to experience the blessing of Almighty God in our lives, and he understands that it is not thinking about God's Word but the speaking of God's Word that causes the blessing of God to materialize in our lives, and if Satan can keep us from using words, he can keep us from the blessing of God.
Someone might say "Pastor, I seem to be getting along all right, and I seem to be blessed of God," and I would argue that the mercy, or kindness, of God is new to every human being, every day; how much more blessed would life be if we were to actually pursue the blessing of God with our words!
Make no mistake, our thought life is vital to our growth in the things of God.
How we think is certainly important. In Romans 12:2 the Bible urges us to be transformed, or changed, by the renewing of our minds so we might know the will of God for our lives. Additionally, Paul goes on to write in Colossians 3:10 that we are to put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him. Colossians 3:10 reveals a valuable key to our success with God - that we are renewed by gaining knowledge; what knowledge do we need to gain? Well, it's certainly not a knowledged based on worldly affairs. Think of the many educated persons in the world who seem mired in the tests and trials of this life.
Thinking alone does not bring victory in the things of God.
