you always find proof for what you believe they've actually proven that our
brain has strongholds so a stronghold is a place that's already been taken and
it's defending its right to stay so a stronghold they take the land and then
they defend it from anything else trying to take the land well your brain has
strongholds it's why in 2nd Corinthians 10 it talks about about you know tearing
down strongholds submitting our our thoughts to Him and so what happens is
if you believe that you're inadequate then every day your brain is looking for
proof for its right to believe that if you think nobody likes you your brain is
looking for proof every single day that nobody likes you and it won't even
notice the hundred people who do because it's not looking for proof that people
like you have you ever wondered why there are certain people who think
they're failures or they're unlovable and you're like but they're so sweet and
so lovable and you know we can't figure out why they've come to this decision
and I'll tell you what it is it's all about what we have trained our brain to
believe I heard a doctor say once that your brain doesn't know the difference
between an actual event or the rehearsal of that event in your mind so if you
offend me and I go home and rehearse it 30 times my brain doesn't know the
difference between the actual event and the 30 rehearsals so the next time I
see you you're gonna think why is she overreacting all I did was this no you
did it 31 times it's why we say things like you always well no they don't
always but you only rehearse the times they do rehearsal
rehearsal actually begins to define our world because our brain only highlights and takes note of
those things that we've been rehearsing that we believe are true why why do so
many people try to better themselves and they want to you know succeed but they
never seem to succeed do you know what the secret is they're trying harder but
they're not changing what they believe
they're opposing themselves a part of them believes that they're failures they
did a study on people who started with nothing financially and then became
millionaires but they didn't just study those people they studied the ones who
actually became millionaires lost everything and became millionaires again
because they were thinking the average person never becomes a millionaire why
is it that some people can start from nothing and become millionaires over and
over again do you want to know what their secret was their secret was they
didn't believe they were wealthy because they had money they believed they had
money because they were wealthy in other words they believed who they were
created wealth most of us if we get wealth we think it's a fluke
I don't know how that happened God just blessed me and yes he does bless us but
we actually have to believe that God enables us to get wealth and I'm not
talking just about money what about anointing
one secret is that we're only able to receive what we think were worth
if you want more anointing you're gonna have to start believing in who you are
