Colossians 3:16, NIV

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

I've learned that if you fill your mind with the right thoughts, there won't be any room for the wrong thoughts. When you go around constantly thinking, "I'm strong. I'm healthy. I'm blessed. I have the favor of God," then when the negative thoughts come knocking, there will be a "No Vacancy" sign. They won't be able to get in.

You need to take inventory of what is occupying the rooms of your life. If you give fear a room, faith gets left outside. There's not room for both. If you give "I can't" a room, "I can" is left outside. If you give lack, barely get by, "I'll never make it" a room, then increase, promotion, and abundance are left outside. Quit renting out space in your mind to your problems and self-pity. Tell those negative thoughts, "You've occupied my rooms long enough. I've got a new resident coming in. My new resident is faith, joy, peace, healing, and victory." Let what God says about you have a permanent home.

Father, thank You that I can let the message of Jesus dwell richly in all the rooms of my life. Thank You for all the wisdom, psalms, hymns, and songs of the Spirit that are filling my mind. I declare to every fear and doubt that there is no vacancy. In Jesus' Name, Amen
