How Do I Stop Overthinking and Racing Thoughts?

“Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” (Genesis 6:5)

 The above verse talks about a time where God was about to destroy the whole world. It says how every intent of the thoughts of their hearts were “only evil continually”. 

 It was not random thoughts causing a flutter, but thoughts that were “continually” evil. 

 If you are continually in a state of anxiety, negativity and lack of confidence, then that’s a problem. Because, brick by brick the enemy is making a stronghold in your life.

 Now you are unable to move forward because you are caught up in this stronghold, and you don’t know the way out. 

 Finding yourself in this situation? Try Thought Seeding

Ever heard of cloud seeding? It’s a technique where certain substances are dispersed into clouds to encourage rainfall.

 Thought seeding is similar to that. If you can hit your mind with the Word of God, it will cause rain from Heaven to come in favor of you and destroy every strong wall that is around you. 

 When David wanted to build a temple for the Lord, that thought became a determination in his heart. And God acknowledged it. (1 Kings 8:17-18 AMP)

 In the end, although it was Solomon who built the temple, Jesus was still called the seed of David because David’s heart and his thoughts were very different. 

 So I want to encourage you: you are made in the image and likeness of God. You are much loved. You carry greatness within you. There is so much that God wants to do through your life but He cannot do it if you keep thinking small about yourself. 

 There has to be a point where you say, “I hear God saying this and I know that He will do exactly what He said.” No matter how impossible a situation may look, change your thinking because when you change your thinking, you make place for God’s presence to usher in.

 Philippians 4:8 encourages you to keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real. That’s the Word of God. Honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. The Bible encourages us not just to think about these things, but to keep your thoughts continually fixed on such things.

 Because the Bible says, As a man thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7). You cannot go beyond your thinking. 

 Remember, when you think what is right, you attract supernatural help in your life. 

 Shalom.
