Changed Thoughts = Changed Talk
Volume 162 February 5, 2012

Greetings!
Changed Thoughts = Changed Talk ( 1 of 5)
Why do we have varying thoughts about our self-worth or quality of life?
Why do we from time to time have pity parties and experience the "blues" because sometime we view
ourselves as highly blessed and at other times greatly lacking?
Why do we focus on what others have that "seems to be much more than we do"?
If the truth be told we are truly blessed and don't have valid reasons to ever dwell on such thoughts in our life.
Our attitude has much to do with our thoughts; what we allow our minds to dwell on.
Just because negative and destructive thoughts come to our mind doesn't mean that we have to let them reside there.
As we have discovered, our thoughts will determine the experience of our day!
This is why it is IMPORTANT what we allow our minds to reflect upon!

Changed Thoughts = Changed Talk (2 of 5)
The Psalmist gives us the formula of how we can elevate our thinking which will enhance our personality,
outlook and the way we evaluate our lives.
Psalm 77:11--But then I recall all you have done, O LORD; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago.
12- They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works.
How soon do we forget what God has done for us?
How many times have we told ourselves we would never forget this or that because of how we were blessed;
only to find that we do unintentionally forget?
This is why we should keep a "Praise Journal" to assist us in recalling ALL THAT GOD HAS DONE FOR US!
Whatever our age is, that has been our length of experience with the goodness of God in our lives!
Even before we were born, God was performing wonderful deeds for us; of protecting us from being aborted and
also protecting us while we were in our mother's womb.

Changed Thoughts = Changed Talk (3 of 5)
There are so many diseases or physical abnormalities that could have occurred to us, BUT GOD!
Whatever we have experienced could have been worse than what we did!
Even though the many blessings we have received from God are more than we could ever recall; if we
just reflect on the ones we know, it would change the "poor me" syndrome that we accept from Satan,
the great deceiver of our peace, joy and self-worth!
We would not see ourselves as victims or shortchanged in life.
We would remember the times when we know ONLY GOD got us out of certain situations!
ONLY GOD changed that negative experience to one that was beneficial in our lives!
ONLY GOD'S favor placed us in positions that we otherwise would not have qualified!
ONLY GOD has ALWAYS DONE WONDERFUL DEEDS in our life! ONLY GOD has performed miracles in our lives and BLESSED US,
BLESSED US and BLESSED US AGAIN, OVER AND OVER!

Changed Thoughts = Changed Talk (4 or 5)
Provision of health, eyes to see, ears to hear, the ability to distinguish right from wrong, protection,
finance, family, friends, food, shelter, clothing, employment, and so many other blessings are blessings we daily experience.
If we begin to daily reflect on our daily blessings and allow those thoughts to consume our minds,
we would be able to proclaim Psalm 77:12-They are constantly in my thoughts.
I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works.
Then those thoughts would remind us of how much God loves us, how much He cares for us and how much He really does for us!
The more we repeat something, the more likely we are to remember it.
We should constantly recall and offer praises to God for His great power in our lives!
Then we would not see ourselves as "blessed" but rather as HIGHLY FAVORED AND GREATLY BLESSED!

Changed Thoughts = Changed TalK (5 of 5)
Instead of singing the blues, it would change our songs to such songs as:
"The Lord is Blessing Me Right Now"
"We are Blessed" "God Favored Me"
"To God be the Glory" "Jesus Loves Me THIS I KNOW"
It will keep us mindful that God is always with us and "Keeps on doing great things for us!
So change your thinking and you will change your life!
Change your thoughts and it will change your outlook!
Change your focus and it will daily lift you above any trials or tribulations or temptations to "CRY POOR ME!"
Jesus loves you and has demonstrated that AGAIN AND AGAIN!
He deserves to get the "Right Press" from what we think or speak!
He has earned the right to expect us to mature in our thankfulness to Him and confession of Him because
HE HAS BEEN SO VERY GOOD TO US!

Patti LaBelle ---New Attitude Lyrics
Runnin' hot, runnin' cold
I was runnin' into overload
It was extreme, ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-extreme
It took it so high, so low
So low, there was nowhere to go
Like a dream
Somehow the wires uncrossed, the tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn
I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tidied up my point of view
I got a new attitude
I'm in control, my worries are few 'Cause I've got love like I never knew Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh I got a new attitude
I'm wearing a new dress (New), new hair (New)
Brand new ideas, as a matter of fact I've changed for good
It must have been the cool night, new moon, new slight change
???More than to figure??? but I feel like I should, yes
Somehow the wires uncrossed, the tables were turned Never knew I had such a lesson to learn I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do I tidied up my point of view I got a new attitude
I'm in control, my worries are few 'Cause I've got love like I never knew Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh I got a new attitude Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...ooh..

'Soul Train' Host Don Cornelius
Dies in Apparent Suicide This is so sad. The L.A. coroner has confirmed that legendary Don Cornelius is dead.
According to TMZ reports:Don Cornelius - who famously created "Soul Train" was found dead in his Sherman Oaks, CA home this morning ... and law enforcement sources tell us it appears he committed suicide.We're told cops discovered the body at around 4 AM PT. Law enforcement sources tell us ... Cornelius died from a gunshot wound to the head and officials believe the wound was self-inflicted.We're told Cornelius was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead."Soul Train" changed the landscape of television when it debuted in 1971 and ran until 2006.Officials have notified Don's family.Cornelius was 75.
During Don's bitter divorce proceedings in 2009, he told an L.A. judge he was suffering from "significant health issues" and wanted to "finalize this divorce before I die."Cornelius was arrested in 2008 for beating up his wife. He pled no contest to misdemeanor domestic violence and was placed on 3 years probation. His probation just terminated.The divorce was granted in 2010. Sources close to Don tell us ... the TV icon was plagued with health issues for years ... including a stroke and a condition that required brain surgery. This is a horrible start to Black History Month.

Dr Lewis; How timely that you are teaching on Family. I am good for disappearing from crap, and that is how I am feeling now with mine. What is so frightful, I can easily dismiss them and go on about my business and feel numb toward my blood kindred without any regret. Being trained to work with clinical psychiatric youth, I have come to realize that I am dealing with psychosis behaviors that only God can heal. I am learning not to take it personal...my family is crazy! ...well, the #1 matriarch for sure! And there are apples not falling far from it. I am a pear who ended up on the wrong tree...LOL I also realize that sometimes a person will use you as a scapegoat instead of dealing with what is really troubling them. I'm now grabbing a hold to that recent revelation to the madness. I keep telling them to keep it real with themselves, maybe it will keep the anger down that is beholding them. Anyway...I recognize it is the devil dressed in mess, who is on the job to kill, steal and destroy. Just when folks are sick, the Drs. have given up and my peeps are acting out...I can only pray for them, because if they can't hear God, they will not hear me and I refuse to let Family drive me coo-coo...mainly the #1 matriarch. FAMILY, God gave it to us. Rather it be by blood or by love, it is a needed commodity for survival. I thank God, when my mother and father forsake me, the Lord shall lift me up. Thanks for sharing your lesson plan Family. Dr. D R

Hey Dr. Lewis, This is a right now Word for the day! I know there are some places in my family that need to be addressed and with the help of the Lord I will do my part to get it together. Sometimes it is very hard but family is family and you have to do all that is within you to make peace! Thanks again it put something on my mind to think about. Love you lot's! Evangelist L V
