"For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." Pr 23:7
NKJV
AA
Every family has generational "issues" they struggle
with. These are things our parents and
grandparents passed to us like addiction, abuse.
anger, anxiety, lust, fear, etc. Often we say, "It just
runs in my family, I can't do anything about it." Yes,
you can! You may not be able to do anything about
your family's past, but by God's grace, you can
change the future for yourself and your children.
The Bible says, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation; old things have passed away; behold, all
things have become new" (2Co 5:17 NKJV). Note
the words "in Christ." By yourself you can't change
your family's dysfunction, but "in Christ" you
receive the power needed to go in a new direction. If
your computer can be reprogrammed, your mind
can too. "Be transformed by the renewing of your
mind" (Ro 12:2 NKJV). You say, "How do I renew my
mind?" By saturating it in the Scriptures! Just like
soaking your body in water removes sweat and
grime, soaking your mind in the Scriptures cleanses
and corrects your thinking. The old saying goes:
"Watch your thoughts for they become your words.
Watch your words for they become your deeds.
Watch your deeds because they become your
habits. Watch your habits because they become
your character. Watch your character because it
becomes your destiny." God told Gideon, "Tear
down the [old] altar of Baal that our father has"
(Jdg 6:25 NKJV). In its place Gideon built a new
altar to the Lord, and the lives of he and his family
were changed forever. And by programming your
mind with God's Word, you can do the same!
