Thoughts Produce Mass and Volume: Antonio Love
Most people are in many ways victims of their thinking. That is, they hurt rather than helped by it. ….Ricard Paul and Linda Elder
I am learning that we are the products of our thoughts. Our mind creates material or chemistry in the human body. Theses actual brain chemicals correlate to memory, intelligence. One on the chemicals endorphin which is the body or brain natural pain killer. Endorphin is 3 times as powerful as morphine. Endorphin is the brain’s painkiller, and it is 3 times more potent than morphine. Your mind also creates serotonin a chemical that is directly correlated to feelings, appetite, sleep, muscle contraction, and some cognitive functions including memory and learning (http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Serotonin). Dopamine, another chemical that is produced in the brain, is related to talking, excitement, the ability to experience pleasure and pain, movement, emotional response. Science teaches that all the chemical that are produced in the mind has a direct effect the affect our body process. So in fact we are products of our thoughts. So when the Bible teaches us in Probverbs 23:7 As a man thinks in his heart, so is he, Scientifically, that is the truth. A thought, scientifically can be consider matter. A thought both has mass and volume. Mass is the amount of material that makes up an object. Volume is that a thought takes up space.

I Can Do All Things
In the book of Phillipians 4:10-13, Paul utters theses words. I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. I have often always used only part of this scripture to apply to my life. I used to use all the time that, I can do all things through Christ. However, this scripture is layered with different meanings. What Paul was saying, was regardless of the situation that he was fulfilled or felt at ease in any situation. With those feelings of being at peace, he was able to perform all things that was set before him. When I hear this scripture it is always used in the context of the things we do. This scripture is more than the things we do in life. This scripture also applies to the things that are done to us, problems and circumstances beyond our control. God gives us an advantage if we allow him to handle all of the events in our lives. He has that power. God that has the ability to control storms Mark 4:39-40. God also has the ability to establish and to create Genesis 1. Be encourage today that you can do all things through Christ.

Belief:
Definition: Assumed Truth.
Conviction:
Definition: An unshakable belief in something without need for proof or evidence.
Doubt
Definition: Doubt, a status between belief and disbelief, involves uncertainty or distrust or lack of sureness of an alleged fact, an action, a motive, or a decision. Doubt brings into question some notion of a perceived “reality”, and may involve delaying or rejecting relevant action out of concerns for mistakes or faults or appropriateness. Some definitions of doubt emphasize the state in which the mind remains suspended between two contradictory propositions and unable to assent to either of them.
Simple definition of faith: Heb 11:1
1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2This is what the ancients were commended for. 3By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

a. We believe in God not only because he exist but because he is the creator.
3. Faith accepts even that which appears unreasonable it will make you an alien in your own home: Heb. 11:13
II. Faith (Gr: pistis) used in four ways:
In the New Testament, the word faith is derived from the Greek word – pistis or from the verb – pisteuo, meaning to trust, to have confidence .
