Week 5 Creative Connect Group: 29/05/2020 Proverbs 18:20-21

The Bible teaches that we manifest the Kingdom life through our heart by planting the seeds of God's Word. Our heart is like an incubator that produces the harvest of a grace-filled, Kingdom life when we fill it with faith & God's promises. What we think & say about God & ourselves influences our situation. As a man thinks so is he according to Proverbs 23:7. The only way to change our behaviour & reality is to change our mind - what we see & what we believe through renewing our minds. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. Our thoughts form networks & pathways in our brain. 90% of life is done on a subconscious level with patterns that have been formed over time. Woundedness & trauma can cause unhealthy thought patterns that adversely affect our actions.

Romans 12:2 tells us not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. We must take our thoughts captive & not allow emotions & feelings to rule our lives says 2 Corintians 10:5. We need to replace our old thought patterns with new ones through imagination & affirmation. Visualise & speak it until you feel it. The words we sow today become the fruit we harvest tomorrow.
