For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Galatians 6:8,
Corruption is what "we thought" was the best course of action. Worry, then stress. As examples. Which if not taken captive will lead to more severe forms of behavior that God did want us to have.
We sow a thought and reap and action.
We sow an action and reap a HABIT.
We sow a HABIT and reap a Character.
We sow a character and reap a DESTINY. ( Charles Stanley ) .

We do reap what we sow. And it all starts with a thought. We can think as God has instructed us to think, or we can think as we want and assuredly it will lead to disaster.
Eventually strongholds of Satan will root in our lives. Strongholds can be broken. But why take this hard road ?
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:3 NKJV
Proverbs 4:23 states, "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." The “heart” includes the mind and all that proceeds from it. Someone said that every sin we commit, we commit twice, once in our thoughts and again when we act upon those thoughts. It is easier to rid our lives of sin if we attack it at this fundamental thought level rather than waiting for it to become rooted in our lives by our actions and then try to pull it out. So true.
As we did not heed what our Lord promised if we discipline our way of thinking to His way of thinking. We develop an incorrect perception of who you ( we ) , are in Christ. And who we are in our Christ Jesus, is what our relationship with Jesus and each other, and the world is all about.
Live in dependence upon the Holy Spirit, chiefly through seeking His strength through prayer (Matthew 26:41). If we rely upon our own strength, we will fail (Proverbs 28:26;Jeremiah 17:9; Matthew 26:33).
Whatever you keep your mind on (think about often) will affect your whole being. Isaiah 26:3, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
Perhaps the most important Scripture is our thoughts and the effect is:
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2 NKJV.
By practice. Practice, exercise, beleive what God said. We might fall. We may stumble. But keep practicing. God made us a promise. HE will keep it. Gods word works.
If you think you're a failure, you'll feel like a failure. If you think you're a new creation (washed clean from your past), you'll feel clean and new... alive in Christ! Jesus made this promise .
The results will indeed transform our lives. For the better. I truly hope these truths find there way into many Christians lives.
Sow good, Holy thoughts. And we will reap Blessings into our life and others.
Because Jesus does know what is best for us.
