Bible Topics: Positiveness / Negative Thinking

Definition: Negative thinking is very akin to pessimism, which is the tendency to take the most unfavorable view of situations, or to expect the worst outcome in any circumstances; the practice of looking on the gloomy and dark side of things. Positiveness is optimism; the tendency or habit of seeing and expecting the good in things; looking on the bright side; anticipating favorable results; hopefulness.

1. Giving place to negative thinking only bears bad fruit.

2. We need to ask the Lord to "wash" our hearts and "renew" our minds to think only His positive, good thoughts.

3. Ask the Lord to help you learn to recognize the Enemy's negative thoughts so you can resist them!

4. Stop yourself at the first negative thought.

5. Think on the good things!

6. Take a positive stand against the Devil and his negativeness.

7. Keep your heart and mind filled with God's Word.

8. Think about Jesus!

9. God not only knows our thoughts, He can help us to have positive ones.

10. You're going to be either positive or negative, one or the other. You can't be just a little of both!

11. Count your blessings, recounting all the wonderful things the Lord has done for you.

12. Take a positive approach to tests and trials by seeing the Lord's hand in all He sends your way.

13. Positive speech has a good effect on everyone, both those who voice it and those who hear it.

14. Taking positive action is a declaration of your faith: It pleases God and works miracles!

15. Keep positive by helping someone else with their problems instead of thinking about your own.

16. Cultivate positive attitudes towards others.

17. Positive people are the kind others like to be around.

18. Manifesting a positive, full-of-faith spirit brings more victories and more to be positive about!

19. Some good promises and prayers to help overcome negative thinking.

James Arendt

My name is James Arendt. I was raised in the Hegewisch neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, served in the USAF from 1970 to 1974, and became a full-time missionary for Christ living 40 years in Japan, 3.5 years in Russia, and a few months in other countries such as Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, South Korea, Taiwan and mainland China where I also served the King of Kings, Jesus, as an Ambassador for His Kingdom. My full bio.

On September 24, 2023, I had an accident and broke the bone of the tip of my left elbow. A boy ran in front of my motorbike less than 2 meters from me as I was leaving home. I stopped suddenly and my front tire slid on the sandy concrete road which caused me to fall. I did not hit the boy. On October 18th I had surgery done on my elbow. The doctor put in titanium rods to hold my bones together. The entire procedure including an entire week in the hospital was roughly $4000 USD. This was done in the Philippines where my wife and I have been living since June this year.


X-rays of bone before and after surgery that inserted titanium rods to reinforce my broken bone.

Before and after one week in the hospital.

Undergoing therapy to bend my arm again.
I'm now undergoing therapy to be able to bend my arm again.

It would be a super blessing to us if any of the visitors of this website can help us cover this expense!
