Bible Verse of The Day – 5-15-18

Romans 12:2 (NKJV) 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

When we become a child of God, we are raw and broken. We may not even know how broken we are. But God does, and He also knows how to fix us, making us a new creation in Christ.

As part of the “fixing” process, God transforms the way we think; renews our minds.

This means that as we grow in Christ, we will begin to change the way we think. Our thought patterns will change. The way we see things will change.

Why? Because God is “adjusting” us in many ways. He changes our heart and the rest follows suit.

You see, as we grow in Christ we begin to see things from a different perspective. Things that we used to think were acceptable are now no longer acceptable. We see the error in our past ways and make the necessary adjustments in our thinking.

On the other hand, there will usually be things that we used to look down on or view as unacceptable that we now have a better understanding of, and we now see them as right.

The worst thing we can do as believers is to not allow God to change our heart and our mind. It is only through this transformation that God can work through us and use us for His kingdom.

So, if you suddenly find yourself questioning some of your old values and embracing new ones as you grow in your walk with God, just know that this is the work of the Holy Spirit, as He transforms you by the renewing of your mind.

Embrace God. Let Him transform you. And enjoy the ride!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-23-16

Renewing Our Minds in Christ
Leave a comment

Mark 12:30 (NKJV) 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’This is the first commandment.

We are going to talk about renewing of the mind; something we work on day in and day out.

This may seem like a constant battle. Why? Because the mind has been allowed to do things a certain way for so long. It’s been working on its own with no one and nothing standing in its way. It has been free to do whatever it wants, however it wants and whenever it wants.

When we begin to renew it, we now introduce it to accountability. Not to just anyone, but to the Holy Spirit!

We may think, “oh, this is great,”! But when we begin to walk in this, we will soon discover some new things about our mind; How much it really loves its freedom with NO accountability.

It’s normal to feel anger, fear and inadequacy at times. Because the mind on its own likes to think it has everything under control and everything figured out. But then it begins to realize it does not have any control at all. It is a false sense of security and comfort. And that false sense of security is deceptive.

James 4:14 (NKJV) 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

When we love God with all our mind, letting Him renew it, we will begin to understand that the God of this universe, our Creator, wants to help us in ways we could never imagine. In this alone our trust in Him becomes our life line, bringing peace to our renewed minds.
