You're gonna love this full episode with Ben Virgo of Christian Heritage London as he shares fascinating stories of a few of the great heroes of the faith such as John Wesley and William Wilberforce.
Ben emphasizes how many of these men were ordinary folks with ordinary struggles just like you and I, yet they changed the world! The faith of these heroes hinged on Christ and the resounding announcement of the Gospel that it is Christ who finished the work through His resurrection. It is that victorious and eternal life that we are promised, our own grit and grind notwithstanding. If you've ever had THOUGHTS such as: So get this.
When you give thanks to God, praise and adore Him, turn your focus to Him each morning, you are literally changing the landscape of your brain! When you turn our thoughts to God, you are using your MIND. Your MIND influences your BRAIN literally! Your brain generates hundreds if not thousands of new brain cells daily. Combine this with the impact of taking thoughts captive (2 Cor. 10:5) and being transformed through the renewing of your mind (Rom. 12:2), and you have a RECIPE for JOYFUL, PEACEFUL living. So often in the Bible, God encourages you to give thanks. When you give thanks you cannot complain, worry, or fret simultaneously. Serious moments of thanksgiving and adoration of God push away darkness and anxiety, rewiring your biological brain and renewing your mind. What better time to give thanks than when you first arise each morning? |
