Stuff Happens! Positive stuff and negative stuff happen to us all. But if we live our lives waiting for the proverbial shoe of despair to drop with greater expectations for negative than positive. F.E.A.R. control us.

This negativity is a demonic attack preventing the children of God from forward progression. We recognize when we backslide, but remaining the same is dangerous as well. We are the children of God, and we should grow, be in a continual forward motion, and never live in a negative mindset. Our God created the Universe and owns it all. Our expectation should be that all things work for the good of us that love the Lord.
We switch to a positive mindset by:
- Spend Quality Time In the Word of God. The Bible is full of instructions, promises, and victories. Rely on it as a reminder of the promised life and instructions on how to receive it.
- Pray. Prayer restores, revitalizes, and provides energy to us via contact with the Holy Spirit. As a believer prays, the Holy Spirit cleanses negativity out of our souls. It shines the light of God that chases away the darkness that tries to hide in our hearts and minds.
- Obey the Holy Spirit. After we have read the word of God, then we pray for the cleansing of the Holy Spirit. We seal the deal by absorbing the information, basking in the cleanliness of heart and mind, obeying the guidance, and embracing the corrections and comfort offered to us by the Holy Spirit.
This is the day that the Lord has made, and we will rejoice and be glad in it. Will not F.E.A.R. We will cast down negative thoughts and think positively. We will expect the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. And we will follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit to remain in victory.
