By Claudene Sebolai Someone once said, “Your life goes in the direction of your most dominant thoughts!” To me, that phrase is in line with the following words of Jesus Luke 6:45: “The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” The subconscious mind has far greater power than the conscious mind and learns through repetition. Even though it is more powerful than the conscious mind, it has no control and changes at level occur through the initiation of the conscious mind. Eliminating negative or limiting word habits is a conscious decision. Research shows that toxic thoughts such as stress, worry, unforgiveness, and anger actually cause damage to our brains. Dr. Leaf also says, “As we think, we change the physical nature of our brain. As we consciously direct our thinking, we can wire out toxic patterns of thinking and replace them with healthy thoughts.” Let’s declare the word of God over our lives through these biblical affirmations:
