Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. – Romans 12: 2(NLT)
CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whenever you get negative thoughts
It is a waste of time and of no worth
Don’t copy the customs of this world
Instead, consult always God’s word.
Let God transform you into a new being
It will help you from constantly sinning
You will learn God’s will which is pleasing
Then you will realize all of his gifts and blessings.

What do you do when you are bombarded with negative thoughts? Do you get tossed and turned by these toxic way of thinking? I used to be enslaved by thoughts that make me literally worried sick. I thank the Lord that he has delivered me and set me free from this stronghold of harmful thinking. These do not come from God, they are from the enemy who wants to steal, kill and destroy us.
The bible warns us to be careful that we don’t get corrupted by the world’s standards. It is very easy to be swayed by our society. If you pursue God and hunger for his word, he will change the way you think and transform you into the person he created you to be.
