“I heard a Pastor preach a message a few years back and he preached it well..Amen..he was saying in terms to not catch that bad thought..but rather catch the good ones..Amen..just as we catch faith..we as well catch fear..Amen..for you see we catch what we’re around..Amen..so who have you been around?..because our minds are them places yet once again..as to where we will win or we will lose..so many children of God live their lives in defeat all for the fact that their minds take them down a pathway and a roadway that honestly they don’t want to be on..because in the beginning of it..well, it may be pretty good..the thought that you caught..but when you get to the end of that thought you don’t like the destination that you came to..Amen..for you see we can be up one moment and completely fall into deep depression of it all next..considering are own mindsets..we lose and fall into this trap by catching ahold of what the enemy has placed there..instead of knowing and having discernment of where that thought came from..we all kind of play around with it..indulge it..and even for a moment enjoy it..Ame..but sooner or later it becomes one of them thoughts that as I said takes us to this destination that we do not want to be at..we end up overwhelmed and even hurt..angry and mad..we end up in this state of defeat..of not being enough..as to not being smart enough..not even good enough..Oh, my how the list goes on and on..and that list is not from our Father..but straight from the very enemy of our souls..and there we got in the ride with him so to speak..and he took us and our minds on this terrible ride..and we sat there and we indulged him..as he let his thoughts run rampant in our minds..and in our hearts and in our lives..messing with our feelings..our emotions..and everything completely opposite from what the Lord says about us..and in turn we are a mess by the end of it all..Amen!”

“For we will keep wounds opened that God has already healed..we keep relationships torn apart..even though the Lord has already mended them..we live in fear and failure..even though the Lord says I have not given you a spirit of fear..but of love and of power and of a sound mind..2 Timothy 1:7..Amen..so I’m going to ask us all..what thought or thoughts have we been catching?..Amen..and I pray with everything in me..that we are wise..that we are smart..and that we are catching all that God says about us..Amen..that when we get in the ride of life..that we are riding with Jesus and His word..and what He says..and that the enemy is not permitted to go along on the ride with us..but that we don’t pick him up and take him along..because this ride of our lives..there isn’t room enough for any hitchhiker..especially one that is going to get in and steal..kill and to destroy us from all of who the Lord desires and created for us to be..John 10:10..Amen..for some they trust in chariots and some in horses..but we will trust the name of the Lord our God..Psalm 20:7..Amen..for we believe His report..and we believe what He alone says about us..nothing more and nothing less..for what God has given and what God has done is amazing..so just know that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God..Romans 10:17..so listen to Jesus and His voice speaking to you..and anything else..please by all means cast it away..don’t entertain it..and don’t play around with it..for again the other day one of my dear friends, Cathy, had wrote this..Fear doesn’t stop death..it stops life..Amen..and I pray we are truly living our lives and living them well..that we are abiding in faith..and not walking in fear..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
