the greatest battlefield is in our mind

Transcript

00:00You are what you think John C. Maxwell, a leadership expert, said,

00:04the real war is in your mind.

00:05The greatest battlefield is in our mind.

00:07Two stones of different sizes and weights are thrown simultaneously into a pond.

00:12Both create waves that meet each other.

00:14The ripples of the two stones collide,

00:16and this is where the battle between the two waves begins.

00:19The larger stone's waves eventually overpower the smaller stone's ripples.

00:23The same thing happens with our mind.

00:25Every day, a battle takes place in our thoughts.

00:28Between positive and negative thoughts,

00:30between good and evil,

00:31between optimism and pessimism.

00:33Whatever dominates our mind,

00:35the one with the greater portion will come out as the winner.

00:38If positive thinking is stronger,

00:40we will be more optimistic,

00:41and our actions will tend to be more positive.

00:44On the other hand,

00:45if we are constantly overwhelmed by negative thoughts,

00:48we will find it hard to think positively.

00:50Positive and negative thoughts are always in conflict.

00:53Which one wins depends on which we feed more.

00:56If we make an effort every day to fill our minds with positive matters,

01:00then automatically,

01:01positive thinking will become stronger than negative thinking.

01:04Psalm 139 23 20 for search me, Jesus, and know my heart.

01:09Test me and know my anxious thoughts.

01:11See if there is any offensive way in me,

01:13and lead me in the way everlasting.

01:15Peace be with you in Jesus.

01:17Amen.
