Philosophy 101
Posted: August 7th, 2009, by kerminatorYour philosophy is simply you way of thinking! Whether you realize it or not, the direction you are going in your day to day life, has been influenced then controlled by your personal philosophy; which is your dominate way of thinking!
"As he thinketh in his heart, so he is!" Proverbs 23:7 or
” As a person thinks in their heart, so it is with their being! ” a True-ism
Each person tends to live their life through a special personal view. The optimist sees only opportunity in almost every situation they meet in life; while the pessimist tends to see only defeat and gloom every where! Both could be facing the exact same conditions, yet each will see or filter things so as to respond differently! This way or method of filtering, can be called their philosophy of life!
Beware of any person who comes with vain deceit and tends to mislead you through an evil based philosophy; set upon the traditions of men after the rudiments of this world!! This is the guidance given everyone who seeks to live a righteous life… This happens with both the philosophies of the world and the false religious teachings of man…
Why do people believe the commandments (law) of men more than the true Word of God?
When following the laws or principles of man, you are operating by a philosophy, but the lower choice! Many people have bits and pieces of God’s word on their mind, yet have not meditated enough to change their core beliefs! Therefore when the winds of life blow adversely in their lives they may spout a few gospel scriptures, but continue to act within their human values which it what comes from their heart!
Therefore if you have a negative philosophy or way of thinking, this will be what is manifested in your life! HUH! This means that if you see yourself as sick, or poor, or alone, or a general failure; it will become a self fulfilling prophecy of gloom and doom! This is exactly where many people find themselves today; listening to the Mass Media (News) groups and many politicians… Oh how terrible everything is? HUH!
If you see yourself as relativity healthy, living a dedicated successful life; this will prove to be the condition of your existence! That is why you need to have your philosophy based upon the True Word of God! This is what will bless your life and allow you to advance toward the Kingdom of Heaven!
It is through subtle deception of human philosophy that Satan or evil tries to deceive you! This tactic is where evil gets you to change your way of thinking by questioning your core beliefs and trust in the Word of God! Even people who have been exposed to some of the Holy Scripture; yet do not really have their belief system firmly in place… They have been influenced more by the culture of the world, movies, entertainment, their upbringing, and or opinions of others; rather than the True Word of God! Because that is what is before them every day, rather than seeing beyond the "As advertised" stuff by thinking for themselves...
Maybe your parents or others have told you that you are worthless, or your previous spouse called you a loser… It could be a minister or other authority figure in your life; who said you were cursed because of some behavior thus you believe then tend to lived it! Whatever your belief or philosophy in life, when you have been spoiled and lead to believe false things this causes grief in your life!
” Your life is more than personal wants and wishes, it is your personal desire to be united with Almighty God!” a True-ism
Where do you find yourself today? Lost and wondering from thing to thing, looking for Love in all the wrong places? If this is your case, then you need to change your basic philosophy, in other words change the way you think… Start with prayer, then study and meditate on the Word of God to change your core beliefs… Do not limit God by your small limited thinking allow His Words to fill your life and adjust your philosophy to change your mind for the better life God has planned for you…
This is where you just have to decide to reach out to grasp the righteous philosophy of life!
