Your mind is the faculty responsible for intellect, thought, feelings, reason and opinion. Everything starts happening from the mind before an action is taken.
Renewing of the mind is the restoration to freshness and vigour. When you renew your mind with the Word of God, you make it fresh because His Word is very powerful. You have to be renewed inwardly by God’s Word on a daily basis.
The bible says in Romans 12:1-2, “Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – His good, pleasing and perfect will”.
When you conform to the pattern of this world, you act in accordance with what the world is telling you. In effect, you are trapped in all the entanglements of the world. But when you renew your mind with the Word of God, you are transformed from the old pattern to the new. This means you cross over and become a changed person, alleluia!!
The renewal of your mind with God’s Word is like metamorphosis, which is a complete change of form, structure, character and appearance. The power in the Word of God makes the change a supernatural one and you will notice the difference. God’s Word is living and active and sharper than any double-edge sword. It judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
God knows all the thoughts of man and as a man thinks, so he becomes. There is a corresponding Word of God for every situation you face. Positive thinking is the key to breakthroughs and success. When you confess the Word of God and believe what His Word says, your mind will be cleansed and refreshed.
Child of God, I encourage you to prepare your mind for action and be self-controlled, relying fully on the Grace of God. As you do this, you will be made new in the attitude of your mind. You will put on a new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Once you allow His Word to sink into your thoughts, you will never go wrong. PEACE!
PRAYER OF SALVATION
If you have not already committed your life to Jesus and you would like to do so now, please pray this prayer:
“Lord Jesus, I am sorry for all the things I have done wrong. Thank you for dying for me on the cross, to set me free from my sins. I ask you to come into my life as my personal Lord and Saviour, and fill me with the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen.”
Congratulations, if you have prayed this prayer. Please look for a Bible-believing church, to fellowship with the brethren. Please do not hesitate to contact me, if I can be of any assistance to you. Remain blessed and enjoy the presence of the Lord.
