WELCOME
    TO YOUR THOUGHTS MATTER

    Good Morning,

    Just a second, I want to grab my latte. It's cold here and a hot drink sounds like it will hit the spot. Actually I would really enjoy an eggnog latte but it has too many calories.......I'm back.

    I don't know about you,but realizing that our thoughts tend to affect us in alot of different ways is half the battle. Our thoughts determine the way we will evidently responsed to things, people and circumstances. Believe it or not our thoughts have alot to do with what we really believe, if we examine them closely enough. They affect us greatly and alot of the time we don't realize it.

    God has shown me, on different occasions, that a particular thought is actually a form of unbelief.[Unbelief is sin]A thouht can not only be unbelief it can be unforiveness [sin],or judging [sin], cause of depression [angry turned inward], worry [sin], etc..... Did you know thoughts can turn into action very easily if we don't deal with them and view them from God's perspective.

    Let's pray: Father,
    Thank you for today. We need you to open our eyes to what you want us to learn concerning our own thoughts. Holy Spirit shine a light on anything we need to realize, any lie we are believing. Anything that is contrary to your word is a lie. Jesus please help us to renew our minds and to be transformed through your word.Now to God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us. In Jesus name. Amen

    You will find different versions of the Bible available for each scripture reference. I find that I can gleam more from each verse if I check it out in other versions, like: New King James, King James, New International Version, International Children's Bible, Living, Good News and Amplified. I won't have all of these available all the time.

    IT'S A HEART CONDITION

    Matthew 15:18-19

    Click on the version you want to read

    New King James
    Living Bible
    International Children's Bible
    New International Version

    This passage explains that it is a heart condition. If one looks closely at each sin you will realize there is a root cause.They have to do with unforgiveness,resentment, hate,anger, hurts,greed,jealousy, lust, and blaming others. Instead of us forgiving and being accountable for our attitudes and actions we justify and therefore we are easily in error and don't realize we are doing it. Did you notice that evil thoughts, false witness [lieing/slander] and blasphemies are included in what are thought to be really bad sins,[ murder,thefts,sexual immorality (ICB)].

    New King James Matthew 15:18-19

    18"But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart and they defile a man. 19"For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies."

    Living Bible Matthew 15:18-19

    18"But evil words come from an evil heart, and defile the man who says them. 19For from the heart come evil thouhts, murder,adultery, fornication, theft, lying and slander."

    International Children's Bible

    18But what a person says with his mouth comes from the way he thinks. And these are the things that make him unclean.19 Out of his mind come evil thouhts, murder, adulter, sexual sins, stealing, lying and saying bad things against other people.

    New International Version

    18But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean' 19For out of the heart come evil thougths, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.
