Think About What You're Thinking About 
by Dr. Larry Ollison 



"But Peter said, 'Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the
Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While
it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your
own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not
lied to men but to God'" (Acts 5:3-4). 

Words and observations enter through the realm of the soul. When they
enter, we have a choice. We either accept them or cast them down. The words
we receive and accept eventually enter the heart and either strengthen fear
or strengthen faith. What they strengthen is determined by the source of
the words. 

Words of doubt and unbelief, if accepted, will eventually develop or
strengthen fear. Words of truth, if accepted, will strengthen or develop
faith. Every thought you have either complements or contends with faith.

When Jesus was talking to His disciples, in (John 16:6), He said, "But
because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart."
Your heart can be sad, or your heart can be happy. The decision is yours.
Hear and accept words of sadness and sadness will grow. Sadness is a type
of fear.

The Word of God is God's faith. When you are open to receiving God's
Word, and you hear God's Word, then faith goes into your heart like a seed.
It will grow into a full manifestation. In the same way, Satan's words are
like seed. When you are open to his words, even without realizing you are,
his lies and deceptions are planted into your heart and will grow into full
manifestation. Understanding is not necessary to receive.

So the conclusion is this. Allow your heart to be filled with God's Word
so that faith will abound. Reject and cast down the fear-filled words of
the enemy. Only you can make this choice. Choose wisely.
