A thought by Craig Groeschel from his book, Winning the War in Your Mind (p. 103). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. (Click on the book title to go to Amazon to buy the book.)
Okay, that is good to know.
Craig says, "He is very repetitive. He knows that if he tells you a lie often enough, you will eventually believe it.
Craig goes on, "So how will you overcome his lies? How will you replace the old rut with a new pathway? The answer is repetition.
"You are going to write it, think it, and confess it until you believe it."
He continues, "Speaking your declarations once will not really do anything. You have been told lies over and over, and you now need to tell yourself the truth over and over. Meditate, chew, ruminate, swallow, repeat. As Napoleon Hill said, 'Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind by repetition of thought.' Repetition is what created the old rut. Repetition is what will create the new trench.
"Write it, think it, confess it until you believe it."
He then says, "Do this as early as possible each morning. What we are thinking about now influences what we think about next. So what you think about first thing in the morning is the first domino to fall, impacting your thoughts for the rest of the day.
"What does that mean?
"You should start your day in God’s Word, digging trenches of truth and finding your declarations. Then write it, think it, confess it until you believe it."
That is such good stuff, isn't it?
Yes, yes!
