Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series Right and Wrong Mindsets.

We can learn to think positively about absolutely everything.

It takes practice saying no to negative thoughts.

But when we replace Stinkin' Thinking with the Word of God, we'll start winning the

battlefield of the mind. Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching. We're talking about right and

wrong mindsets. Colossians 3, set your mind and keep it set on things that are above, not on things

upon the earth.

If you have died with Christ and been risen with him, think on good things.

Think on things that God would think on, not just don't think like the world anymore.

Think by faith and see that your future can be great, even though your past maybe has been lousy.

And you can think your own thoughts.

You don't have to think just whatever falls in your head.

You can actually choose what you want to think and think on it.

Now, in the beginning, when you start asking God to help you control your mind,

you're probably going to have a little battle on your

hands. And so you may need to have teaching like this or the book that I wrote on the battlefield

of the mind, so many people like and enjoy that, and you might have to read it once a month

for a while, I don't know. But if you stick with it, or how many of you know anything you stick with long enough,

you'll get victory.

Amen?

But it's important for you to know that you can do your own thinking.
