Positive thinking and self confidence is idolatry, for then we become our own god
People are the image of God. however, people are not equal to God, and people do not have the appearance of God, and people do not possess the greatness and power as God. Therefore people cannot compare themselves to the All-powerful Awesome God. However, people are created by God in the image of God.

People did have a free choice from the beginning of creation to use their God given power of the mind to live for God or to turn their back on God. satan persuaded people to use that God given power of the mind for evil instead of obeying God, therefore people have followed the advice of satan all through the ages by sinning against God. In many ways and forms people have turned their back on God, that is why we have so much misery on this world for people do not wish to humble themselves before God and honor God.

However, Jesus Christ the Son of God made us free from that slavery and sin when He paid with His life for our sins by God.

If we seek our strength and help anywhere else apart from God then we do not live for God.

Only by the grace of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God is there security in this life and in the life to come by God. For no-one can work his or her way to God, and no-one can earn the rights to be accepted by God. There is no religion on this world that can make us acceptably by God. And all the good works on this world by all of the people on this world will not open the door for one person by God. No person has the right to claim anything from God, for all people have sinned against God, therefore all people are condemned by God.
But Jesus Christ the Son of God came from heaven to this world to pay for all of our sins by God to open the way for us to God by removing our sins by God. It is only by the grace of God through Jesus Christ the Son of God that we are accepted by God.

We may also not place our hope in the spirits of the death for that is sorcery and all sorcery is sin against God. When we seek help and comfort by the spirits of the death then we live for satan not for God. When we pray to Mary the Mother of Jesus the Son of God then we sin against God.
If we pray to the spirits of the saints that are in heaven by God then we also sin against God.
If we talk to the death or communicate with the death in anyway or form than we live for satan not for God. For if we pray to the spirits of the death then we are in contact with evil spirits who pretend to be the spirit of Mary the mother of the Son of God and who pretend to be the spirits of the saints that are in heaven by God, for we cannot come into contact with the spirits in heaven by God. All of that is sorcery and idol worship for that is the work of satan, not the way of God, for then we live for satan, not for God. All of them prayers that we send to the spirit world are answered by satan to lead us away from God.

When we use nature to come close to God then we are also not in contact with God for then nature is our god. Nature is created for people by God, but if we feel that nature brings us closer to God then nature is our god. When we look in nature to come close to God then our minds are darkened by satan for then satan makes us feel that in nature we are closer to God.
( Romans 8:18-21 ).
Jesus the Son of God went in to nature to talk to God but Jesus did not go there to be closer to God, Jesus went in nature to talk to God because Jesus did not have a other place to be along with God.

( Matthew 8:20 ).
The quietness and love of nature can become a act of sin for us instead of fellowship with God, for then we may worship nature instead of worshiping God. All of nature must remind us of the work and greatness of God but we may never look in nature to come close to God.
( Romans 8:19-20 ).
Many ways of life that look harmless and sound harmless can lead us away from God, for satan always has ways that look and sound good to lead people astray from God. But if we follow the advice of satan then we remove ourselves from God.

Therefore we can idolize our mind through positive thinking and self-confidence thinking that is of God, but then we become our own god and then we remove ourselves from God. All positive thinking and self-confidence is self-worship and is sin against God, for then we place faith in ourselves not in God. Through positive thinking we idolize ourselves but we do not honor and worship God. We can accomplish all sorts of great things through positive thinking but it all is the work of satan not of God. Positive thinking has nothing to do with faith in God.

Positive thinking and all other idol worship are the same by the standards of God, it belongs to the people who live for satan not to the people who seek to obey God. All idol worship must be removed by the people of God. We must only place our hope and trust in God. If we place our hope in ourselves through positive thinking then we live for satan, for positive thinking is the power of the occult and then we are cursed by God. But if we place our trust in God then we are blessed by God.

If we have true faith in the Lord God then we draw all of our strength from the Lord God, and than we do not draw our strength from anyone else or anything else beside the Lord God.

Our faith may never rest on the wisdom and power of people. And our hope may not rest in money or wealth. And our strength may never rest on positive thinking and may not rest on self-esteem and self-confidence but must only rest on God.
We must always do our very-best in everything on this world for that is the will and way of God but we must do everything with God, for our faith must only rest in the power and love of God.
If we live in any other way then we live for satan, not God.
