The Power Of Your Mind
A Book Review #5 (Chapter 4)

Use Your Mind Right
It's critical that you understand how to use your mind right, because that's your ticket to the next and higher level you desire. One of the first things you must learn to do with your mind is to focus it on the right thing. (Study: Isaiah 26:3)
When you focus your mind, it helps to direct your energies and bring them to bear on a particular thing or activity. The Lord keeps him in the peace of prosperity whose mind is stayed (fixed, focused) on Him.
If you've ever asked or wondered what you're supposed to do for the power of God to work in your behalf and keep you in peace and prosperity, - stay your mind on the Lord. (Study: 1Chronicles 28:9, Romans 8:5)
You seek Him, not because He's missing and you're trying to find Him, but because you want to focus your heart, your mind, and your affections on Him. You do that by setting your mind on the Word of God.
Your spirit has the capacity to control your mind. You can decide that you want to set your mind on the things of God, and control your spiritual senses to conform to that decision.
Your mind is under your control, and you've got to acknowledge this truth, accept it, endorse it, and act like it.
