I’ll tell you in three words no, can’t and don’t. All our lives we hear these words from birth and on.
How about as an infant, with good intentions your Mom says “don’t cry” or “you can’t do that”. Of course there are times you really can’t do something and it’s for your own good, but many more times these words become habits and they subconsciously affect our lives.
Personal Note
I was told by the doctor, in my mid forties, that I can’t speak without some sort of chemical throat injections for life.
I was told don’t exercise again or you will collapse because of CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome).
I was prescribed six medications to take because of these conditions, do you see the words can’t and don’t in those sentences?
Change Your Thinking
I speak without lifetime injections, I exercise and do fine and I refused to get hooked on prescriptions.
It takes some real effort to reverse a lifetime of being told you can’t, don’t and no, but it is worth it.
How Can You Battle Negativity?
First, you have to understand the world leans negative. Sin has a lot to do with setting the negative tone.
Second, lets change these three words that influence us so heavily. Lets change no to yes, shorten can’t to can and drop a couple of letters from don’t to do.
Look at this sentence – No, you can’t do that and don’t even try it again.
Now, lets use our new words and we get – Yes, you can do that and do keep trying. You see how easy it is to change how we think.
Getting Rid of Negativity
Positive thinking is great, but you need two more things to reinforce it.
Many people get charged up after reading or attending some type of positive attitude seminar. The problem is it’s not enough to override all those years of negative programming. This make sin happy, it doesn’t take long for sin to convince you that things are still the same.
Knowledge is sins enemy, sin wants to keep you dumb. We are not insulting anyone saying their dumb, but sin will manipulate you attempting to keep you away from truths.
Believe and Faith
These two words will be ammunition enough to turn the tables.
Belief is the conviction that what you have learned is true
Faith is taking action on that belief.
You have to get belief from some where a book, someones elses experiences, knowledge or God. Now, that new belief you have is useless until you do something with it, this is faith.
If I didn’t believe what God said “You (all of us) have been healed through Jesus” then I probably would be rotating in the medical prescription system today. You know how that goes, that is a lifetime membership to the drug companies.
Instead I chose to practice spirit over flesh and took that path. All this revolves around getting out of the grips of sin.
Sin plants negative seeds, it lets you get a taste of success only to torture you with you cant’s which drives you deeper into negative thoughts.
You can and you will if you want to change, the question is Do You?
