POPULARITY
Positive thinking can't understand that we need the polarity and that the world is a representative of the polarity… For instance, you drive a car, and you recognize that your vehicle is drifting… 1.) You immediately apply positive thinking, you ignore the drifting, and you are off the road… Those are the results of positive thinking! 2.) You stop the car, you check if everything is okay, and you think the worst … 2.1) Are the tires okay? 2.2) Are the brakes okay? 2.3) Is the street slippery?… 2.4) After you checked everything, you let go of the negativity that doesn't apply! 2.5) And then you fix the problem! 2.6) Drive slowly, that works most of the time!If I would be a positive thinker, I never could design new stuff as an engineer… As an engineer, I am always focused on the worst-case or the worst scenery to develop the best… For instance, the accidents of the Boeing 373 max… To become more fuel-efficient they mounted a new, bigger engine inside of the wings instead to install it under the wings like the previous version of the Boeing 373. The whole aerodynamic worsen through this new design, and they made only a software fix, that never worked out. As positive thinker they thought everything will work even without additional training for the pilots… If you trust positive thinker for the stock market, you will get bankrupt… If you create positive thoughts, the polarity inside of yourself is creating negative thoughts to counteract… If you want calmness in your mind, meditate, focus on God, and to let go of EVERY Thought! And with FOCUS ON GOD, you gain bliss, faith, and peace in your mind! Solution:We focus on the positive outcome and LET GO the negativity.We don't suppress the negativity because we also need information about the negativity…If we are angry about something…Find the solution… We do ask ourselves: 1.) What has the situation to do with ourselves? 2.) Would be an integer person angry in this situation? 3.) What has this situation to do with our past?4.) Is it necessary to improve ourselves and let go of our suppressed emotions or traumas to become calm?5.) Do we project our inside suppressed anger on this situation?6.) Is it better to accept the situation or to change the situation?7.) Would it be better to find a solution that would improve the situation? Act accordingly!

Why would anyone say that God causes suffering when Satan is so clearly at work? Pastor John leads us through the shocking sovereignty of God.
Focus on God.Don't worry what others think.
In this episode of Heart of a Youth Leader, Andy Castle reflects on the rise of anxiety and attention challenges in young people and how our fast-paced, screen-saturated world is impacting their ability to focus on God. Drawing from Psalm 8, Andy shares the power of worship—especially among children—and the importance of helping young people sit in God's presence, not strive harder but “try softer.” Encouraging and practical, this short devotion is a reminder to slow down and fix our eyes on the majestic name of the Lord.You can also watch this episode on YouTube.Find out more at www.thriveym.org.uk
Blueprint of Faith: Maintaining Our Focus on God
In a world filled with distractions and noise, it's easy to lose focus on what truly matters. But as Christians, we are called to prioritize God's Word above all else. In this video, we'll explore the importance of putting God's Word at the top of our to-do list, and how it can transform our lives and our relationship with Him. From finding peace and guidance in uncertain times, to experiencing joy and freedom in our daily lives, we'll discover the life-changing power of God's Word. So if you're ready to make God's Word your top priority, then join us as we dive into the Bible and discover the abundant life that awaits us.
Does your love for God make your heart sing?The psalms, many of them, were written as songs of worship. King David in particular loved to sing praises to His Lord. Whether he was tending his flock under a night sky, or sitting in his palace in Jerusalem, David had a heart for the Lord.Psalm 104:1 says, “Praise the Lord, my soul. Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.”In this kind of worship, we feel especially close to God. It is then we focus on His majesty and His power. We feel close to Him, and we're able to speak freely with Him.This kind of intentional meditation on Higher Things also puts us in our place, and we mean that in the best sense of the phrase. Hierarchy in true religion is very important, and when we consider that the God we sing praises to loves us eternally, and always wants the best for us, well—it releases us to worship God with all of our being. And it is then we are free.Take time today to praise the Lord for who He is, not forgetting the great things He has done for you. Because…He is very great!Let's pray.Lord, you are awesome in ways that we can barely understand. Even with those limitations, God, we love you with abandon. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.
God called David a “man after his own heart.” One might read his story and wonder what God saw in...

The LORD is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?” – Psalm 27:1, NIV Every October, elaborate Halloween decorations begin popping up in my neighborhood. Some of them are whimsical, but a lot of them are designed to look as scary as possible. One yard features a goblin that zips down from a tree to surprise people as they walk by on a sidewalk. One house has a battery-operated witch on the porch, constantly babbling threats in a creepy voice. Then there's the place that features a gigantic skeleton towering over a house and glaring with red lights in its eyes at people passing by. It amazes me that so many people spend so much money on those decorations, and so much time setting them up, simply to scare people. Our world often glorifies fear during October. From haunted house decorations to scary movies, people celebrate fear in all its forms as Halloween approaches. It can seem entertaining to seek out experiences that make us feel afraid. But all the spooky darkness around us in this fallen world isn't worth our attention. As believers, our focus should not be on fear but on God. God's light is much more powerful than any darkness we encounter. The world may try to draw us into a mindset of fear, but Psalm 27:1 offers a powerful reminder that we don't need to fear anything or anyone, because God is our stronghold. King David, who wrote those words while inspired by the Holy Spirit, was no stranger to scary situations. He faced real dangers from enemies who sought to harm him, yet his response was not to dwell on those fears but to declare his confidence in God's protection. David declared: “The LORD is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear?” This declaration is a call to shift our focus from the things that frighten us to the One who is greater than all our fears. During October, when our fallen world encourages us to be entertained by fear, we have the opportunity to choose a different path. Instead of allowing fear to take root in our hearts, we can focus on the truth that God is our stronghold. That means we can trust our all-powerful God to give us strength in all situations and to protect us from all that scares us – including the evil that surrounds us. The darkness that casts scary shadows of doubt and worry around us can't overpower the light of God's presence in our lives. Fear is a powerful emotion, but it's not stronger than the power of God. When we allow fear to dominate our thoughts, it can paralyze us and keep us from living the thriving lives God wants us to live. However, when we focus on God, we remember that God is in control, that God is with us, and that God is for us. No matter what circumstances we face, we can be confident in the assurance the Bible gives us in Psalm 27:1. God is our light, guiding us through even the darkest circumstances. God is our salvation, delivering us from all that threatens to harm us. During October – and every day of the year – consider how you can shift your focus away from fear and toward God. Instead of getting caught up in the culture of fear, spend time with God in prayer and meditation regularly. The more time you spend with God, the more God will dispel any fear that tries to take hold of your heart. Remember, the Lord is your light and your salvation, so you never need to be afraid! Intersecting Faith and Life As you consider the importance of focusing on God rather than on fear when you feel afraid, reflect on these questions: What fears have been weighing on your heart lately? How can you bring them before God in prayer? How does remembering God's faithfulness in the past help you trust God in the present? In what practical ways can you shift your focus from fear to God throughout your day? How does meditating on God's Word help you fight fear? What does it mean to you personally that God is your “light” and your “salvation”?
