Beyond Positive Thinking

Go beyond positive thinking, acquire new thoughts from God's word and you will find freedom from depression, oppression and anxiety. 


It is true that positive thinking has an astounding impact on your emotional, mental and physical wellbeing, yet positive thoughts are all but impossible to produce when the dark cloud of depression blocks your view of the sun.

In order to see the light of day, you're going to need some new material to work with. Acquire some new thoughts through Biblical meditation and prayer. 


The thoughts we are "stuck" with come from the world around us.

Spiritual Health Source focuses on rising above worldly knowledge and beyond positive thinking so that we can cope with and overcome the painful past.

What do we do?  We learn to meditate God's word.  After all, you meditate on something all the time:  financial problems, marital problems, problems with our kids, physical illness, aging parents, you name it.  We are always thinking about something and usually it is our problems and/or what we plan to do about them. 

What does God think about our problems and more importantly, what does He offer to do about them?  That is what I want you to think about, or meditate on.  First, forget what the world has taught you about God.  Forget all of it!  Get to know Him all over again. Learn to trust Him.

Borrowed Perspective:

To help you understand the need for going beyond positive thinking, I urge you to read "I think, therefore..." for a detailed look at our thought life and the role it plays.  It is vital that you understand this. 

One very important quote from the article: 

"It is frightening to THINK about it, but our thoughts are really not our own. Obviously, we take all of the input, toss it around, choose to believe what we want and throw away the rest, but it is still a borrowed perspective. In a sense, we are all connected into an invisible grid of borrowed thoughts. I believe this grid, may be the world that Jesus called us up and out of. You could almost rephrase Descartes' famous quote to 'The World thinks, Therefore I am.'"

Now, that's frightening.  What has the world taught you about yourself?  Never mind!  Don't go there. Just get rid of it.

Use Spiritual Health Source's Foods that Heal (spiritual foods, that is) for a starting point.  Read the scriptures, print them if you can, and focus on them all throughout the day.  This is difficult, but do it anyway.  Make a hobby of it and share your thoughts with others on one of our spiritual blogs.  As any other SBI owner would say, "help and be helped".  If you want to study online, use our free online Bible study tools.

Pray about the scriptures, asking God for the truth.  Do it again.  Write down your thoughts about them and do it all over again.  If you do this with a true desire to know God, you WILL get revelation.  Seek and you shall find the ability to go beyond positive thinking.

If you are having problems getting to this step because of pain or guilt, start your process of going beyond positive thinking with Christian Spiritual Healing.
