Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7(NKJV)

Many people want to experience the peace of God as stated in verse 7 —but they don’t want to practice what verse 6 says to do to get it. When you practice verse 6 then, “the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” God’s peace will keep guard over your heart and your mind. But can you reap these results in verse 7 and have this peace without being a doer of the Word as stated in verse 6? No, you really cannot. It is possible to become so fretful over something that you cannot eat or sleep. But all you have to do is practice the Word and you will get results. People who worry and fret, continually think on the wrong side of life.

 Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies. PHILIPPIANS 4:8(MSG)

DO verse 8. Practice this verse. Think about the right things. Many people think about the wrong things and expect the best things. Our thoughts are seeds that will produce after its kind. You will always know what you are thinking about by what you are talking about

 The Bible says, “… out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks “MATTHEW 12:34(NKJV)

If you continue to worry and fret and think on the wrong things, you will always talk and market unbelief and you will always be on the wrong side of life. You cannot be a doer of the Word and continue to talk and market unbelief. The more you talk about some things, the bigger they get

So don’t talk about the negative stories you hear. Don’t even think about them. Some things you hear might even be true—but they might not be pure and lovely and notice this—of a good report. Therefore, we are not to think about them. By thinking about such things, we give place to the devil.

Nor give place to the devil. EPHESIANS 4:27(NKJV)

 The greatest weapon of the enemy is the power of suggestion. He is ever endeavoring to enter your thought life. That is why we are told in God’s Word to, “… think on these things and not give him a place in our thoughts.” Begin to practice being a doer of the Word by doing in all circumstances what the Word tells you to do.  So, meditate on the Word and what the Spirit of God is saying to you—and be a doer of the Word. You will grow spiritually.

Prayer of the Day: Father in the name of Jesus, I declare I am a doer of your Word, and I refuse to give place to the enemy in my thoughts. I win always
