POWER THOUGHTS BY JOYCE MEYER is a very special book. Of
course, each book she writes is uniquely helpful to Christian growth in
some way. I especially like this book because it deals with thought
processes. It comes across very clearly in Power Thoughts that there is
no way for me to grow without asking the Lord to help me conquer the
fortresses in my mind. I must in order to please the LORD bring every thought in to captivity. There is no doubt that HE will help me. I just have to trust HIM. In the book, Joyce Meyer gives a dozen or Twelve Power Thoughts.
The twelve ways of thinking will definitely make the richest, most
blessed Christian's life better. For those, like me, who have only begun
to take baby steps can only expect to see their spiritual and physical
lives improve. Along with a wealth of scriptures, Joyce Meyer has
planted this thought-provoking book with journal prompts. These prompts
are to help remove the "can'ts" from our lives. In their place will
appear the word "can" over and over again until that old ugly habit of
negativity becomes the new habit of positivity. Joyce Meyer writes "I believe that miracles come in cans-our belief that we can do whatever we need to do through Christ who is our strength."
In one journal entry Joyce Meyer gives three words. "Yes, I
can__________. I wrote; yes, I can become less wasteful of my time."
Just writing those words made my Godly goal clearer and precise. Joyce
Meyer explains how writing down her thoughts is a help in her Christian
life. If you have ever heard Joyce Meyer speak in person, on television
or at a conference, you know she always tells plenty of anecdotes. Some
of the stories are very funny and very true to the life of each person
sitting in her audience. Her book is not different. The anecdotes made
me laugh, think and rethink. In the end, It is the author's desire that
we "Be mindful to be a blessing....." Galatians 6:10. Without a doubt there are forces fighting for our minds. With Joyce Meyer's 12 STRATEGIES TO WIN THE BATTLE of the MIND and GOD'S empowering strength there is a victory in sight.
