“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Prov. 23:7Prov. 23:7

7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

- A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
- Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves, they therefore remain bound
- Right thinking begins with the words we say to ourselves.
Thinketh — The Hebrew verb is found here only, and probably means, “as he is all along in his heart, so is he (at last) in act.”
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he,.… He is not the man his mouth speaks or declares him to be, but what his heart thinks; which is discovered by his looks and actions, and by which he is to be judged of, and not by his words;
My question to you is do you allow the word of God to mold you or what others or what you believe about yourself mold you.
Are you stuck with intrusive thoughts or memories of the past holding you back from your purpose and destiny?
in Matt. 15:10–11, 15–20Matt. 15:10–11, 15–20
English: King James Version (1611) — KJV
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

God has always been especially concerned about man’s heart or mind.
What man holds in his mind has a tremendous effect upon his physical body. This is true because God’s laws of cause and effect work in all realms–the spiritual, the mental, and the physical. No effect is without its cause; no cause is without its effect.
There is real evidence to support the idea that many of our diseases and physical breakdowns are a result of our thinking. The body becomes ill or breaks down as it reacts to excessive stresses.
Diseases that are brought on by mental attitudes are known as psychosomatic diseases. The name comes from combining the word “psycho” which means mind and the word “soma” which means body. Although the mind has had its influence upon man’s body through the centuries it is only during the past thirty years or so that psychosomatic medicine has come into real prominence.
Eighty per cent of the people who come to them are suffering from physical ailments brought on by man’s thinking.
Christ’s teachings are of the positive, constructive type, and these foster not only good spiritual health, but good mental health, and good physical health as well. It is rather thrilling to realize that modern men of medicine are saying.
That is why forgiveness is so important for good health.
Our actions are the blossoms of thought, and both joy and suffering are their fruits; thus does a man gather the sweet and bitter fruitage of his own choices.
It takes renewing of our minds through the Word of God, meaning reading, believing, obedience, etc.
“Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed, by the renewing of our minds.” (Romans 12:2Romans 12:2
English: King James Version (1611) — KJV
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

That word “renew” means to replace something old with something new. To “make over by substitution” would be an accurate phrase. It is the discarding of old information not by the process of erasure, but by the process of replacement. Only as you program the heart with God�s word are those old choices, which always satisfy self, replaced with new choices which always glorify God.
To do that, He has to apply the word directly to those places in the life where the presence of sin interferes with God�s working His will.
