| Switch Over to the Victory Channel |

| THE SCRIPTURE |
| “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things.” |
| (Philippians 4:8, NKJV) |

| THE WORD |
|
It’s interesting that our mind will naturally
gravitate toward the negative. A study showed how positive and negative
memories are handled by different parts of the brain. A negative memory
takes up more space. There’s more to process. Because of this, we will
remember the negative more than the positive. For example, a person will
remember losing $50 more than they will remember gaining $50.
Knowing this, we have to be proactive with our
thoughts. When the negative memories come back to the movie screen of
our mind, many people pull up a chair, get some popcorn and watch them
all over again. No, the point is that’s not the only channel. There’s
another movie playing on a channel that’s filled with your
accomplishments and victories.
Instead of staying on that negative channel, you’ve
got to switch over to your victory channel. You’re not going to move
forward into the new things God has in store if you’re always replaying
the negative things that have happened to you. Instead, learn to change
the channel. Meditate on victory and move forward in the victory and
blessing God has in store for you!
