FIRE SCRIPTURE
Numbers 13:25-33
25 The men explored that country for 40 days, and then they went back to the camp. 26 The Israelites were camped near Kadesh, in the desert of Paran. The men went to Moses and Aaron and all the Israelites. They told Moses, Aaron, and all the people what they saw and showed them the fruit from the land.
27 The men told Moses, “We went to the land where you sent us. It is a land filled with many good things! Here is some of the fruit that grows there. 28 But the people living there are very powerful. The cities are very large and strongly defended. We even saw some Anakites there. 29 The Amalekites live in the Negev. The Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country. The Canaanites live near the sea and by the Jordan River.”
30 Caleb told the people near Moses to be quiet. Then Caleb said, “We should go up and take that land for ourselves. We can easily take that land.”
31 But the men who had gone with him said, “We cannot fight those people! They are much stronger than we are.” 32 So those men gave a report that discouraged the people. They said, “The land we saw is full of strong people. They are strong enough to easily defeat anyone who goes there. 33 We saw the giant Nephilim people there! (The descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim.) We felt like little grasshoppers. Yes, we were like grasshoppers to them!”
MFM MOUNTAIN TOP LIFE DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE:
Today’s memory verse contains a list of eight things to think about. These include majoring on thoughts that are true, noble, pure, just, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praise worthy.
When your thoughts are contrary to these things, It means that the heart is sick and needs urgent attention. A sick mind will definitely produce ungodly attitudes and unwholesome words.
Do you desire healthy thoughts and imaginations? You must be determined to discipline yourself physically and spiritually. Get ready to eject all thoughts of fear, failure, defeat and discouragement; replace them with faith, success, victory, boldness and godly confidence. Nothing is impossible as you allow the Holy Spirit to do His work in your life so that your thoughts will be divinely aligned.
Prayerfully pull down the stronghold of evil thoughts; begin to saturate it with the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit will turn your heart into a fountain of godly thoughts that will produce Christ-like character in you. The Bible, in Proverbs 23:7 says, ‘As a man thinketh in his heart so he is…”This is yet another confirmation from a spiritual perspective of how powerful your thoughts can be, and how deep it can affect your entire personality.
The ten spies in our fire scripture had a thought of self-condemnation and failure before the people of the land. Thank God for Joshua and Caleb who refused to look at the size of their opponents. Rather, they saw the size of God, who is bigger than any challenge. They had the mind of an overcomer, and they eventually took over the land.
Beloved, violent actions, corrosive responses and harsh words are all the results of filthy thoughts. Pride, arrogance, boasting, exaggeration and talkativeness are all negative attitudes and temperaments that emanate from our thoughts.
Thoughts of suicide could lead to outright suicide; hatred and bitterness, resentment and hidden anger will lead to physical rage and unforgiving spirit. Lustful thoughts and imaginations will soon give birth to sexual immorality if left unaddressed. They are evil seeds. Don’t allow them to grow in the garden of your heart. Kill them at the embryo stage. They will defile your entire being if you pamper them.
Therefore, align your thoughts with the Word of God!
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1. Inherited evil thought pattern, I am no longer your candidate, die, in the Name of Jesus.
2. Vagabond thoughts occupying my mind, you are strangers, die, in the Name of Jesus.
3. Any thought or imagination that does not glorify God, what are you waiting for? Be flushed out by the blood of Jesus, in the Name of Jesus.
EVENING
4. My thoughts, be aligned with the mind of Christ and the Word of life, in the Name of Jesus.
5. I reject every negative thought of… by the power, in the Name of Jesus – (insert the negative thought).

7. Father Lord, renew the right Spirit in me so that my thoughts will be pure and holy, in the Name of Jesus.
