Thoughts End Up Becoming Things.

When you invite a thought into your mind, hold it there, and mix sympathy with it, that idea then becomes a nurtured thought that will take root in the garden of your mind and begin to grow. At some future point that thought will take on Real World substance and effect what you physically do ~~ after all, you nurtured it with sympathy and agreement, you gave it support, you encouraged it, and you told it, "You are most welcome to take up permanent residence inside my mind", therefore that thought is going to play a big role in your life in Real World.
If that guest-in-your-mind-thought is a positive constructive Faith-in-God thought, then it will produce Faith, Hope, and Confidence, resulting in such beliefs as I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Both Fear-thoughts and Faith-thoughts end up becoming things. Here, to illustrate the principle, is how a Fear-thought becomes a physical thing: The Fear-thought: BASED UPON DEMONSTRATABLE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCES, STATISTICS PROVE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT PERCENT CHANCE THAT I WILL BE SERIOUSLY HURT DUE TO AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. Now if you do the following: (1) Invite that Fear-thought into your mind (2) Hold it there and dwell upon it (3) Mix sympathy with it (tell yourself over and over, yes its true) (4) Keep on doing (1), (2), and (3) (that is, keep on nurturing that thought (5) Then that Fear-thought will take root in the field of your mind . . . (6) And begin to grow strong and . . . (7) Soon it will produce Real World physical realities. You will begin to experience debilitating fear, anxiety, and frustration ~~ and if you keep on doing (1) through (6) up there, at some point the sustained fear, anxiety, and frustration will start producing Real World physical effects such as headaches, sweating, trembling, shaking, stuttering, and twitching. This ugly reality will greatly reduce your ability to get things done in Real World.
Now lets look at what a Faith-thought can produce: A Faith-thought: GOD LOVES ME AND GOD IS MY FATHER, AND MY LOVING HEAVENLY FATHER HAS PROMISED TO ALWAYS BE WITH ME, AND TO HELP ME WITH ALL MY PROBLEMS, AND HE HAS PROMISED THAT ALL MY PROBLEMS WILL EVENTUALLY BE WORKED OUT BY HIM FOR MY ULTIMATE GOOD, AND SO I LIVE MY LIFE FULLY TRUSTING IN HIM BECAUSE I KNOW HE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF ME BECAUSE HE LOVES ME.
If you invite that Faith-thought into your mind, hold it there, mix sympathy with it, and keep on doing this, then this powerful Love-Faith-Thought will take root in the soil of your mind and grow strong and powerful. It will produce Real World realities: you will have more Confidence, more Faith and Trust, you will Laugh and Smile more, and you'll be able to get things done much easier. Your Real World accomplishments will increase in numbers and quality. You will be happy. You will enjoy living. Might even become a Mover and Shaker World Changer. Many have done that ~ so it is doable. And this Love-Faith-Thought will attract a host of its relatives ~ cousins, nephews, aunts and uncles, and they will take up residence in your mind. Relatives like Hope, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, and Faithfulness.
By the way, do we humans have a subconscious mind? i don't know if we do or not. Some confidently say we do. Some also assuredly say Bigfoot walks about in Real World. Lets assume that Bigfoot is a zany myth and that we do have a subconscious mind where "all the material not currently inhabiting our conscious mind is stored. Every memory, skill, experience, feeling, thought is housed in our subconscious mind."__off the web. If this is true, then our minds have sort of a basement (or attic if you prefer) and there in that subliminal basement we store our brain-stuff. This seems harmless enough. Anyway, our subconscious mind is just one more good reason to always put only good positive uplifting thoughts into our minds.
The thoughts we humans put into our minds and hold there and nurture, will determine if we live a life of Faith, Hope, and Love or a life of Doubt, Despair, and Loathing. Therefore God Himself speaks to us about this and says: "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable ~ if anything is excellent or praiseworthy ~ think about such things." (Philippians 4:8)
In conclusion, one of the most comforting uplifting and encouraging thoughts we can ever hold in our minds is the truth that God loves us and sent His Son the Lord Jesus to die in our stead on Calvary's Cross. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" ~ and that God has long term huge enormous good plans for us ~ to make us conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus (Romans 8:29) and when this process is finally at last finished, we will then be able to do the utterly amazing, and our Real World accomplishments will be breathtaking and awe-inspiring ~ we're going to the stars, my friend.

PS Thank You Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit for loving us and saving us.
This is just a version of Karl Marx’s theory that ideas cannot exist without language, and to control the population you have to control the language, which explains political correctness and personal pronoun tyranny.
Bkmk
I am convinced that language was invented by sociopaths so they could lie and control other humans.
Body language is far too truthful.
This is a great thread. Bookmarked.
A bunch of new age hogwash.
We cannot control anything with our thoughts not make anything happen, come i to physical existence with them.
And there’s not a shred of Scripture to support this deception.
into….
Is there any power in positive thinking?

Andrew Strom also wrote a book called The Kundalini Warning: Are False Spirits Invading the Church?
Book of Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7: “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he”.
I am familiar with that verse and it essentially says that the real person is what you are like inside.
It does not even come close to saying that we can create reality by thinking about something.
That is a misapplication of that verse to support an unscriptural theology.
What about the positive thinker who’s killed in a car crash?
False.
Marx has NOTHING to do with this:
FRON MY OP:
“The thoughts we humans put into our minds and hold there and nurture, will determine if we live a life of Faith, Hope, and Love or a life of Doubt, Despair, and Loathing. Therefore God Himself speaks to us about this and says: “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable ~ if anything is excellent or praiseworthy ~ think about such things.” (Philippians 4:8)
???????
So what do you conclude?
That because humans die in accidents, that therefore we humans ought to fill our minds with Fear-thoughts?
The OP is about the need for Faith-thoughts. The OP is not about a perfect world. The OP is not about needing a perfect world BEFORE we fill our minds with Faith thoughts.

False.
There is NOT a shred of new age in my post.
Your reading comprehension is near to zero.
JAG
Thanks.
And thanks for reading my piece.
God Bless

My OP has zero to do with the so-called “power of positive thinking.” My OP is written from the viewpoint of a Bible believing Evangelical.
From My OP:
The thoughts we humans put into our minds and hold there and nurture, will determine if we live a life of Faith, Hope, and Love or a life of Doubt, Despair, and Loathing. Therefore God Himself speaks to us about this and says: “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable ~ if anything is excellent or praiseworthy ~ think about such things.” (Philippians 4:8)

Give us solid Scriptural support for the concept that our thoughts can make things become reality.
And dig into the history of positive thinking. It’s new age start to finish, based on Hinduism.
