Take Control of Your Thoughts: Pulling Down Strongholds in Your Mind

Your destiny in Christ depends on what you do with your thought life. Often, the way that seems best to our human mind goes against what God’s Word says. Many times believers accept less than what God has promised them because they have not risen above the thoughts of financial lack, poor relationships, or destructive family traits. These negative ideas and thought patterns will lead you down the path of destruction, but there is a way for you to change.

Dr. Donald Shorter reveals a simple five-step plan for you to take control of your thoughts and conform them to what God says about you. This process of casting down negative imaginations will enable you to move forward in the call that God has on your life. The circumstances that are holding you back will begin to change as you begin to think differently.

Pastor Shorter will help you overcome the things that can paralyze your life. You will be encouraged and motivated to win in life as you read these pages. The truth in them will make you free. — Casey Treat, Pastor of Christian Faith Center, Seattle, WA

Donald Shorter was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to Pastor Roosevelt and Mary Shorter, and at the age of 12, Don was born again and accepted his call to ministry at the age of 18. While attending Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Washington, he met a beautiful young lady, the former Kathy Lynette Hill, who later became his wife in July 1974. Upon completion of college, Dr. Shorter embarked upon a highly successful secular radio and television broadcasting career as a television host on the Seattle, Washington ABC affiliates. However, his call to the ministry remained the impetus in his life, and in January 1987, with his family of four, Pastor Shorter founded Pacific Christian Center Church. Dr. Shorter received his masters in business administration in 1993, was ordained by Dr. Frederick K. C. Price in 1994, and received his doctorate of ministry in 1999. Each of these events has played a significant role in his success as a pastor. Today, under the oversight of Dr. Don and Kathy Shorter, Pacific Christian Center is a worldwide ministry that ministers to thousands each week through speaking engagements, radio and television broadcasts, regular church services, and business seminars. Through their teaching and faith-based outreaches, such as Real Dads in America, Kathy’s Kids, Excellence in Business, Men of Excellence, and Women of Wealth, the Shorters touch many lives. Dr. and Mrs. Shorter are the parents of three children--Monet, Dawnet, and Donald Jr.
