POSITVE THINKING OR TRUST IN THE LORD GOD

Posted by George Soepboer Sr

Self-confidence and positive and negative thinking is never of God.

Christians must live by faith in God.

If we live in any other way then we live in sin,

for our life may not consist of self-confidence but our

hope and faith must only be in God.

( James 4:13-17 ).

When we place our hope in self-confidence

or positive thinking, for then we become our own god,

for then our trust is ourselves not in God.

Therefore self-confidence and positive think is idol worship

through self-confidence and positive thinking we place faith

in ourselves not in God.

Therefore when we place faith in self-confidence and

positive thinking then we do not live for God

but then we sin against God.

( Ezekiel 14:4-5 ).

Moreover, when we pray to God we also may not depend on our

positive thinking to receive answers from God, for positive thinking is

never faith in God.

True faith in God removes all positive and negative thinking

and only surrenders oneself to God,

and only seeks the will and way of God

and only trust God.

( Matthew 26:36-44 ).

All the results of self-confidence and positive thinking are

the works of satan, not of God.

Positive thinking is equal to negative thinking

for it all keeps us away from God, for it all is the work of satan

not the work of God.

( Matthew 16:21-23 ).

Only when we live humble before God and only trust God

do we live for God

all other people are void to God.

( Isaiah 57:15 ).

For if we place our hope and trust in people including ourselves

then we do not live for God.

Only when our hope is in God and we trust God

are we approved of by God.

( Jeremiah 17:5-8 ).

All pride and self-confidence and positive thinking will

someday be removed from the world by God,

for all pride of any sort is sin against God.

( Isaiah 2:11-19 ).

We must pray for all things to God and then we must set

aside all positive and negative thinking and self-confidence,

and we must only place our hope and trust in God.

( Psalms 46:10 ).

If we wish to live for God than we must love God and we must

trust God and we must obey God.

that is the only way we can live for God and

live in fellowship with God.

If we live in any other way then we do not live for God.

( Mark 12:30 )( Luke 10:27 ).
