Where the mind goes, the person follows!
Just like a spark can start a huge forest fire, our words can either cause major problems or bring about significant achievements.
You become great in your mind before you become great in life.
Thoughts and words are powerful because they influence our behavior and affect how we feel and respond to situations. Our thoughts are connected to everything in our lives, and our current circumstances are often a reflection of our thought patterns.
When we think a thought, it influences our actions, and our actions create habits. Then our habits reap character, and our character reaps our destiny.
When a thought enters our mind, we should decide if we should accept the thought or reject it, because unseen thoughts produce visible consequences.
Being aware of the impact of your words will prevent you from speaking thoughtlessly. You will choose your words wisely in times of hardship, letdowns, and challenges, focusing on expressing what you desire rather than what you do not.
Speaking without considering the repercussions can be harmful, but speaking wisely can have a positive impact on one's mental and physical well-being (Proverbs 12:18).
“The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.”
— Proverbs 15:4 (NIV)
The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you (Matthew 12:37). Put simply, your speech can either set you free from a situation or hold you captive in it, or even make it worse.
The words we speak have the ability to impact the environment we are in. Have you ever noticed that when you are feeling down, upset, or angry, you can sense the heaviness in the air? Conversely, when you are joyful, excited, and happy, the atmosphere around you seems lighter. This is because our words possess the power to influence the ambiance or mood of a place (Proverbs 17:22, Matthew 15:11, Proverbs 18:21).
Create the world you want to live—by declaring the Word of God over your life.
Despite its small size compared to other body parts, the tongue holds significant power over our lives. Just as a spark can ignite a massive forest fire, our words can lead to either great troubles or tremendous successes (Proverbs 18:21). Although the tongue is small, it wields considerable influence over our lives (James 3:5).
Your words direct the path of your life, influencing its trajectory and shaping the outcomes of situations, because where the mind goes, the person follows.
“Finally, brothers [and sisters], whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
— Philippians 4:8 (ESV)
Your thoughts become actions. The way you think can cause you to either succeed or fail. No matter how hard you try, you cannot act independently of how you think. If you're someone who thinks negatively, then you'll have more negative experiences than normal.
The Bible says it this way, “You have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth” — Proverbs 6:2 NIV. You have allowed your thinking, which turns into words, to influence your life. If you're always thinking negatively, then that is the road you will travel down.
The advantage of reading the Bible is, you can take what God is saying about your life and bring it into reality. Also, the Bible will show you how unseen thoughts can lead to tangible outcomes.
We should speak the same sayings about ourselves as God does. Rather than acknowledging the current circumstances, confess your desired outcomes. Better yet, confess what God wants for you.
Where the mind goes, the person follows. If negative thoughts creep into your mind, ask yourself some questions:
Where will these thoughts take me?
Where did these thoughts originate?
Will these thoughts get me to where I want to go in life?
Will these thoughts empower me or bring me down?
If you are feeling like you cannot do it or finding it difficult to avoid negative thoughts, remember that God is there to assist you. He is our helper and the ultimate teacher who will provide guidance at every stage of the journey (Psalms 46:1; 54:4; Hebrews 4:14; John 14:6).
Anyone who has an encounter with God changes because He can shift your perspective and give you understanding (Psalm 119:130, Proverbs 2:2-5, Proverbs 3:5).
As you begin this journey to change your life by changing your thinking, you will experience peace that goes beyond your understanding (Philippians 4:7).
We have complete control over our destiny. Therefore, disregard the deceitful thoughts that suggest you are insignificant, that you should quit because it's too difficult, and that you cannot succeed. Instead, recognize the power you have in proclaiming God's Word into your circumstances and towards your future.
The start of your life doesn't have to determine the end of your life, as you have the power to shape your own destiny with the words you speak.
Your DESTINY is in your mouth, so open wide and speak it.

The call for salvation
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, His spirit will come to live inside you. This is one of the greatest blessings of salvation. You don't have to go through someone else to get to God, and He will live in your heart where you and Him become one, have a relationship, and you'll be able to know His advice of what to do in life.
All you have to do is make the choice of salvation by repenting of your sins and accepting Jesus into your life by confessing that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that He came from Heaven to die for your sins (Romans 10:9).
