How To Have Positive Attitude In Negative Circumstances - Part 2

In the past few episodes we have been discussing how to have a positive attitude in tough situations. Pastor Damien grew up in a tough environment where his father was an alcoholic. But he chose to step out of that cycle and step in to a positive attitude. He could focus on his studies and chose to follow God.

So many great people that ended up making a huge impact on the world and even leading people to Christ, grew up in terrible situations. But it is possible for Jesus to pick us up out of that and turn us around with a positive attitude.

Psalm 27:13 
I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

In the Malayalam translation, it reads to mean ‘woe is the one who doesn’t see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.’ This was written by David, who was overlooked by his whole family. But he always looked to God. Even in his negative situations, he grew up with a positive attitude.

God doesn’t like it when we crib and complain and remain negative. We shouldn’t keep talking about our problem, but we should look to the one who can save. When we proclaim God’s goodness and trust Him, he will move things for us. More than listening to the world and what it has to say, we should fix our hope on what God has spoken in His Word.

Not all prophecies are from God- some people speak fearful things over you or your family and it makes you live in fear. This is never from God, and you should cancel these in Jesus’ name as soon as you hear them and move forward in God’s protection and love.

Proverbs 18:21 
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Matthew 12:36-37 
But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be.

Our words have power and can even bring judgement upon us.
We need to change our mindset to a positive one and speak God’s Word over our lives in every situation that comes our way. We always have a reason to hope because God loves us!
