It’s a pretty classic story one told many times…
A pychology experiment in which a principal took 3 teachers and told them they were the brightest teachers in the district  so they are going to be given classrooms full of the highest IQ students. so that year...the students were smarter then any kids in the whole school.  The teachers spent lots of time with them and extra learning. the principal at the end called the teachers in and said..i have a confession to make...those aren't the smartest students. they are just regular average kids…

THE REST OF THE STORY…
so the teachers said...wow!! we must be the smartest best teachers then....he said well i have another confession i picked your names out of a hat. You believed what you were told.
 
 
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ
2 Cor. 10:5
 
Whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things. 
Phil. 4:8
 
-You Believe that You believe in God, but the real question is "do you believe God". Belief is action! If man is not made for God, why is he only happy in God? 
 
Dr. Albert Ellis discovered this mental chain of events, he was the pioneer or cognitive psychology.  This pattern can be positively and negatively cyclical. BELIEFS (how people see the world and life in general) PRODUCES THOUGHTS (These find their source in their deep seated beliefs) PRODUCE FEELINGS (thoughts produce feelings. This is the motor to our actions) PRODUCE ACTIONS which in turn ultimately causes us to be/act what we believe – we act who we believe we are…thus creating our future. 
The change of thoughts actually changes the chemicals in our brain and in turn changes the wiring of our brain… and it has nothing to do with feelings. We simply choose to think differently and it rewires our brain. 
 
My iPhone is filled with notes that are tons of scriptures on specific themes. 
I have a note with about 100 verses on healing
I have about a note with about 100 verses on provision and blessings
I have them on the gifts of the Holy Spirit
I have notes on hearing Gods voice
I have notes on the believers authority
Why? Because I constantly want to rewire my brain with Gods word. You will notice that these notes directly coincide with the areas we typically have the most doubts on. 
 
Important to note: because doubts will rewire our brain more and more for doubt! 
So it is warfare to reboot the brain with Gods thoughts! 
That is why one of the pieces of Gods armor is the helmet of salvation. 
If my brain is saved then it should only think God thoughts… So I have continually trained my brain. 
 
If I ask you if would you like to go out to eat at Outback steak house or McDonalds you know you are going to pick Outback. Why?
when you fill up on the word of god {outback steakhouse} you wont be tempted by a happy meal {the worlds ideals, ideas and thoughts}
