You Are What You Feed Your Mind!

- by Rev. Ike

You will never get any further in life than the ideas in your mind. Therefore, it is important to feed your mind only right ideas.

If you start believing something, it will happen. It doesn't make any difference whether your thought is good or bad, it will come about if you think it will come about.

Those of you who follow my teachings have heard me say this many times. But it is such an important Science of Mind principle that it bears repeating. Everything in life comes from the ideas in your mind. Everything!

This is what Jesus meant when he said, "According to your faith, be it unto you." (Matthew 9:29). According to your idea about yourself, according to the ideas in your mind, be it unto you.

In other words, the experiences in your outer world come from the inner world of your thought. So be careful what you think and be careful what you see in your mind (visualize).

Feed yourself, feed your mind, right ideas. Never feed anything to your mind that you don't want in your experience.

Make Right Ideas Your Daily Mental Diet

You can pray for prosperity all you want, but if you have the negative idea of poverty in your mind, you'll never prosper. You can pray for the healing of your body all you want but if you have the negative idea of sickness in your mind, you'll never be healthy.

That's why I tell you, don't let bad thoughts into your mind or they will happen in your life.

Remember, thoughts are powerful food for your mind. And that's why you should only think positive thoughts.

Beware Of Junk Food

RememberBad thoughts are like what some people call "junk food." Junk food is unhealthy. Bad thoughts are also unhealthy. They have no value for your mind, your body, your spirit or your life. So don't waste your time on "junk food" thoughts. Think only GOOD thoughts for a good experience of life.

RememberYou know the saying, "You are what you eat." Well, I'm telling you, you are what you think! What you feed your mind in the way of ideas is what you become. So you'd better make sure those thoughts and ideas are nourishing.

RememberBeing careful of what you think and say is like being careful of what you eat. When you start to have a thought, read its contents. If it's got BAD stuff in it, don't consume any of it! Throw it away. Bad thoughts will just bring negative experiences into your life.

What You See is What you Get!

When you decide what you want, begin feeding your mind pictures of it. You will be amazed at how fast it will come about.

This is what my visualization technique is all about. Visualize clearly in your mind the good that you desire. See yourself being, doing and having it. Accept it in your mind and it will come into your life. As Flip Wilson said, "What you see is what you get."
