Did you know that you can lead a more positive life
0:03
It's true. Many people find themselves stuck in negativity, feeling sad, frustrated, and victimized
0:10
But you don't have to be one of them. In this video, I'm going to share with you three powerful biblical ways to start living
0:16
a more positive life. Make sure to watch all the way through, because the third tip is the most important
0:23
Let's get started. What are you thinking about right now
0:34
Are your thoughts mostly positive or negative? What's occupying your heart and mind
0:39
It's important to take a look at what's inside us because it shows in our actions
0:44
If we're filled with negative thoughts, we're more likely to make poor choices
0:50
In Luke 6, 45, it says, A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good
0:55
And an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil
0:59
For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. Think of your heart and mind as a container that can only hold so much
1:07
If it's filled with negative stuff, there's less room for the positive
1:11
Maybe you're feeling 15% jealous, 15% angry, 20% guilty, and 20% worried
1:17
That adds up to 70% negativity. No wonder it's hard to find joy
1:22
So what can we do about it? Here are three biblical ways to live a more positive life. 1
1:28
Remove the negative We need to actively decide to get rid of negative thoughts, Colossians 3, 8-9 tells us
1:35
But now you yourselves are to put off all these. Anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth
1:42
Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds
1:48
Negative thoughts will come, but you can choose what stays. For example, if someone offends you, you can choose not to let them ruin your peace
1:56
If your children make a mess, you can calmly remind them of their responsibilities instead
2:00
of getting angry. It's all about making conscious choices. 2. Add the positive
2:07
Once you've cleared out the negative, fill your heart with positive, godly traits
2:11
Colossians 3, 12-15 says, Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility
2:19
meekness, longsuffering, bearing with one another, and forgiving one another. But above all these things, put on love, which is the bond of perfection
2:28
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts. Fill your container with kindness, humility, and love
2:34
When you focus on these positive traits, you'll feel more joy and peace. 3
2:39
Put on Jesus Christ Removing negativity and adding positivity can be tough on your own
2:45
That's where God and his son come in. Romans 13, 14 says
2:49
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh to fulfill its lusts
2:54
Jesus, properly known as Yahshua, can cleanse us and help us live a righteous life
2:59
Just like he healed people with leprosy and made them clean, he can purify our hearts
3:04
and minds. Let him work in you through the Holy Spirit. Final Words
3:10
Life is full of things that can bring us down, but we can choose to bring our worries to
3:14
God and adopt a more positive outlook. Being positive doesn't mean ignoring life's problems
3:20
It means looking at life through God's perspective, knowing he's working for your ultimate good
3:25
With this mindset, you'll find more love, joy, and peace in your life
3:31
So let's start filling our hearts and minds with positive godly thoughts and live a more
3:36
positive life. Hey, if you want to learn more, I highly recommend you read the blog version of this video
