 Imagine that your thoughts were like explorers slashing their way through the leaves and plants of a dense jungle. As these explorers make their way through the land, their steps and movements begin to form paths in the wilderness. After years of activity, these explorers form clear paths and smooth walkways. Naturally, the travelers who come along after them will choose to walk the already clear trails. The routes formed by previous explorers become the preferred means of travel for the ones who come after them. That's how your thoughts work. Your mind is that jungle. Those explorers are your thoughts. Once you allow those thoughts to create a certain path, it becomes easier for the thoughts that come after them to follow the same path. For some, these paths have been traveled for years. We all have the tendency to default to our old thought patterns, and this is when the Holy Spirit speaks. Form new thought patterns by following the leading of the Holy Spirit. For more on Spiritual Warfare, get Holy Spirit the Bondage Breaker at bondagebreaker.com.
