Of course, then we would have to add the negative feeling words, and, the list would be even longer!!!
Some of the negative words of this life are stress, distress, discord, dissatisfaction, anger, arrogance, broken, closed-minded, selfish, impatient, and, so on! These are simply words, but, open up to discovering the MANY imperfections we weigh the TRUE self, the spirit, down with! These descriptors are indications of our egocentric, carnal being, yet having power over the TRUE self, the spirit, which CHRIST has told us to rid of, for HE, though scorned, rejected, abused, ridiculed, thrashed, beaten, and, nailed to the cross, NEVER resorted to ANY negative reaction, instead, HE RELIED upon THE WILL OF *GOD*, to overcome, and, be victorious OVER such!!!
What am I getting at? We are raised in the negatives of this world, more than we know, until we begin to peel off the carnal self, and, stand in the spirit! Don't forget, these negative inclinations include opposition to virtues, morals, ethics, integrity, and more; not that we are without these, but that, they are not brought to the LIGHT of their powerful potentials, leaving our lives more negative than POSITIVE!!!
Now, on the other hand, ALL that is OF *GOD*/CHRIST, is POSITIVE, just, right, whole, good, and, pure! So, the words from the aspect of this stance, are all enhancing, inspiring, building UP the being, encouraging, fortifying, strengthening, healing, healthy, optimizing, and, so on! THIS list is the list we should be most familiar with, since these words incline us in a affirmative LIGHT, and, which FREE the being!!!
In a study, it was proven that negative words dominate our language, regardless of age, or culture! A test was done in Mexico City, and, Chicago; the group in Mexico City in the 20's, and, the group in Chicago in their 60's! BOTH groups, were asked to compile a list of words expressing emotions, and, BOTH groups had the same outcome; 50% of their words were negative, 30% were positive, and, 20% were neutral! There is, of course, some sound psychological reasoning for this, but, it is kind of negative too, stating that people are likely to express negative words for emotions, due to survival, and, our quality of life may be at stake... Hmmmn, interesting...
Listen, this is deception taking over our spirits! This is the product of the deceiver's lies, games, tactics, and, direct hits to the sound sensibilities of the spiritual being! This evil ruler of the world, KNOWS us, as sure as does *GOD*, BUT, does NOT have dominion over us, only WE allow that to be, because *GOD* HAS SOVEREIGN SUPREME DOMINION, AND IS, POSITIVELY existent, and, motivated!!!
SO, you see, we ARE whatever we CHOOSE, and, it begins, and, ends in the mind! The egocentric being, IS negatively inclined, because this is NOT our reality! Our reality IS the spirit, and, IS POSITIVELY existent, because it IS OF *GOD*!!!
*GOD* WANTS HIS people to BE IN a WHOLESOME frame of mind! An OPTIMAL, POSITIVE frame of mind, BECAUSE when we are IN THE LIGHT, we ACT accordingly! When we are in the darkness, such will be our frame of mind, and, we will act upon that fact!!!
WHEN we are IN *GOD*, there exists, encouragement, empowerment, enablement, endowment, and, enrichment! EACH of these, OPTIMIZES us to DEAL with, and, WORK THROUGH, tactics of the oppressor, the opponent, the enemy, deception! These 5 attributes, AID us in growth, development, strength, courage, discernment, and, advancement of the spirit, bringing us closer to *GOD*, and, HIS WILL! These 5 attributes SHINE OF HIS GLORY, in the face of adversity, and, deception! They are ROOTED in LOVE, FAITH, HOPE, TRUST, and, ALLEGIANCE TO THE LORD!!!
*GOD'S* Chosen, live in JOY, and, REJOICING of HIS GRACE, HIS MERCY, HIS DELIVERANCE, HIS PROVISION, HIS PROMISES! They are NOT deceived, defiled, dragged around, nor, defeated by the negatives of this world, which, in short, ARE the prison of the spirit!!!
THEY ARE FREE IN THE LIGHT, the PURITY OF their LORD!!!
PROVERBS 17: 22...
A joyful heart is the health of the body, but a depressed spirit dries up the bones.
PSALM 5: 12-13...
12/ Then all who take refuge in you will be glad and forever shout for joy. Protect them that you may be the joy of those who love your name.
13/ For you, LORD, bless the just; you surround them with favor like a shield.
1 PETER 1: 8-9...
8/ Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy,
9/ as you attain the goal of (your) faith, the salvation of your souls.
PHILIPPIANS 4: 4...
Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice!
GALATIANS 5: 22...
In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,
ROMANS 15: 13...
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the holy Spirit.
There are hundreds of such verses, depicting the joyful, enduring nature of those OF *GOD*!!!
We should CHALLENGE ourselves, hourly, to BE THE evidence of the LOVE, HOPE, PEACE, JOY, and, REJOICING OF THE LORD! We should PRAISE, and, WORSHIP HIM, ALWAYS in a mentality of confidence, comfort, contentment, and, POSITIVITY OF HIS ALMIGHTY PRESENCE in our lives! We are to RADIATE HIS beauty, HIS LOVE, HIS compassion, HIS GREATNESS, that, those imprisoned in the darkness of negativity, can find their way TO HIM!!!
We should study to understand, then, take to heart, JOHN 16: 33...
I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world."
