RENEWING YOUR MIND
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 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.
Do you spend all of your energy fighting with others? Do you feel like the enemy is always working overtime to make you stop and give up? God gives us direction on how to handle this battle and win.
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 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." (Romans 12:1-2)
Our minds can become filled with negative thoughts. Worry, anxiety, fear. These negative thoughts can also lead to feelings of unworthiness, hopelessness, and rejection; the list continues.
When negative thoughts are allowed to come into our minds, they quickly travel to the heart. These thoughts and feelings are not of God, then why do we choose to entertain them?
Most times, we do not even realize what is happening. That is how the enemy can be. Peter warned us to be sober and alert.
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”(1 Peter 5:8)
When the enemy tries to enter, we must stop him at the door. Do not let the enemy take another step. We need to focus our eyes on Jesus and keep our minds filled with God's Word; There is no room for the enemy's lies.
“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 10:5)
Each morning choose a Bible Verse and memorize it, meditate on it throughout your day. Each time the enemy comes at you with a negative thought, recite the chosen Bible Verse in your mind. That is how you take your thoughts captive; you fill your thoughts with God's Word and let it renew your mind, spirit and bring your joy and contentment to light.
Will you renew your mind today?
Heavenly Father, I will present my body to You as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to You. I will not be conformed to this world, but I will renew my mind daily with Your Word, in faith believing every word and acting upon it. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit within me, helping me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
