We all have different journeys we take in life, through bad times and good, but one thing is sure – if the Lord Jesus Christ is with us through the journey, we will make it through. Some people experience emotional pain differently than others, whilst others are seemingly immune, however the reality of life is we all have emotional weakness and struggles in this life.
Johns Hopkins Medical School has found that 70% of disease is psychosomatic. What does that mean? The word psyche means “the mind,” and soma is “the body.” This is not to say that 70% of diseases are not real, but rather that the origin of these diseases is not found in a physical cause. The origin, in nature, first occurred in the mind. As a person begins to harbour and foster negative thoughts in the mind, these manifest into the body. Thoughts have the ability to make us well or to poison the body. Negative thoughts weaken the immune system and poison the bloodstream.
Several years ago, Stanford University found over 2000 different chemical secretions that were released into the body, from the brain into the bloodstream, which were all based on a person’s thoughts – good or bad.
When we analysed each step or our emotional struggle, the cause and effect, if you will.
The Lord highlights the area of our thought life. Especially with this foundational Bible verse: Proverbs 23:7 “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he…”
Join us for our Sunday evening sermon titled “The Power of Planting Thoughts” (3 November 2024) at 1755.
Scripture: Proverbs 23.7
