Psalms 26:3 (Amplified Bible)

Psalms 77:10-11 (Amplified Bible)
77:10 And I say, This [apparent desertion of Israel by God] is my appointed lot and trial, but I will recall the years of the right hand of the Most High [in loving-kindness extended toward us], for this is my grief, that the right hand of the Most High changes.
77:11 I will [earnestly] recall the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will [earnestly] remember the wonders [You performed for our fathers] of old.
Our thoughts is a gift from GOD. It's one powerful device within our bodies that can make or destroy us. If our thoughts is on earthly things, these will destroy us.
Colossians 3:2 (Amplified Bible)
3:2 And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.
Colossians 3:5 (Amplified Bible)
3:5 So kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members [those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin]: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God).
So keep our thoughts focused on JESUS.
Deuteronomy 8:18 (Amplified Bible)
8:18 But you shall [earnestly] remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
Hebrews 12:2 (Amplified Bible)
12:2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
The mind is the battleground of the enemy, the enemy makes you think something else, he will insert abominable things in your thoughts. So don't give way to the devil, suppressed these kind of thoughts and bring it to submission to JESUS.
Ephesians 4:27 (Amplified Bible)
4:27 Leave no [such] room or foothold for the devil [give no opportunity to him].
2 Corinthians 10:5 (Amplified Bible)
10:5 [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),
Psalms 105:5-6 (Amplified Bible)
105:5 [Earnestly] remember the marvelous deeds that He has done, His miracles and wonders, the judgments and sentences which He pronounced [upon His enemies, as in Egypt].
105:6 O you offspring of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob, His chosen ones,
Psalms 78:43-51 (Amplified Bible)
78:43 How He wrought His miracles in Egypt and His wonders in the field of Zoan [where Pharaoh resided]
78:44 And turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink from them.
78:45 He sent swarms of [venomous] flies among them which devoured them, and frogs which destroyed them.
78:46 He gave also their crops to the caterpillar and [the fruit of] their labor to the locust.
78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore trees with frost and [great chunks of] ice.
78:48 He [caused them to shut up their cattle or] gave them up also to the hail and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
78:49 He let loose upon them the fierceness of His anger, His wrath and indignation and distress, by sending [a mission of] angels of calamity and woe among them.
78:50 He leveled and made a straight path for His anger [to give it free course]; He did not spare [the Egyptian families] from death but gave their beasts over to the pestilence and the life [of their eldest] over to the plague.
78:51 He smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents [of the land of the sons] of Ham.
The secret is praying in tongues whenever you're alone, especially when you're alone.
Ephesians 6:18 (Amplified Bible)
6:18 Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people).
Jude 1:20 (Amplified Bible)
1:20 But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit;
Other things I do is listen to audio bibles, gospel songs, teachings, preachings, read aloud the bible to myself. Things you can do when you're alone to help your thoughts keep focused on the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Mp3 Player is a great blessing for us, because we can select what we need to listen to and we can protect our ears from undesired things that we don't need to hear. Remember, our eyes and ears are our passageways to our thoughts, so guard them.
Philippians 4:7 (Amplified Bible)
4:7 And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
B. In the midst of the temple (church) or our temple (bodies)
"O God, in the midst of Your temple."
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (Amplified Bible)
3:16 Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God’s temple (His sanctuary), and that God’s Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you, collectively as a church and also individually]?
3:17 If anyone does hurt to God’s temple or corrupts it [with false doctrines] or destroys it, God will do hurt to him and bring him to the corruption of death and destroy him. For the temple of God is holy (sacred to Him) and that [temple] you [the believing church and its individual believers] are.
1 Corinthians 6:19 (Amplified Bible)
6:19 Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own,
We use our lips to praise GOD.
Hebrews 13:15 (Amplified Bible)
13:15 Through Him, therefore, let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name.
We use our Hands to worship GOD.
1 Timothy 2:8 (Amplified Bible)
2:8 I desire therefore that in every place men should pray, without anger or quarreling or resentment or doubt [in their minds], lifting up holy hands.
We use our arms and knees to pray to GOD:
Hebrews 12:12 (Amplified Bible)
12:12 So then, brace up and reinvigorate and set right your slackened and weakened and drooping hands and strengthen your feeble and palsied and tottering knees,
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS, for You made our thoughts focused on You and we choose to remember You in our thoughts and always think about Your love for us.
