       If the enemy is telling us we’re not going to get our package, we need to say something like, “The Scripture says that God is on my side. I believe he will help me to get it. That’s a lie. Everything is going to be fine.” And then we need to stand firm on our faith. This is how, as Paul talks about here in Romans 8, we experience life and peace. You and I cannot experience life and peace if we are always thinking about and considering bad things, thinking about all the things that could go wrong for us and those around us. That’s not life, and that’s not peace. We have to discipline our minds and control what we think about on a day to day, moment by moment basis. By doing this, we will end up being happy in our lives. Even if we are presented with a problem, we need to immediately be hopeful that our problem is going to resolved soon, and that what we want to happen is what is going to happen. Don’t brush this of as a sinful theory on the power of positive thinking. The only sin that’s really going on here is the fact you just brushed it off in your unbelief. If you want to brush it off, go for it, and have a miserable life.
