NASB: "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." NLT: "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Romans 12:2
Scenario: Believer, loves Jesus but hungers more for Hallmark movies or sports than growing in Christ. Sound familiar maybe. Sadly those I am attempting to reach and impact probably are blinded by Satan. This is not meant to guilt you into submission but to give some thought to what you let into your mind on a regular basis.
Until the Holy Spirit convicts a person of their ‘true’ need for growth and mind control probably it would be like talking to a brick wall and is best left to The Holy Spirit to reach the individual.
Your mind is so critical to your well being. For instance if you lack faith and keep worrying, that could affect your health in a negative way but if you truly trust God and have prayed then release your concerns don’t relapse into fretful worry. Let your mind be filled with joy and don’t allow negative thinking to enter. Now go think on good things!
PRAYER: Lord thank you for the gift of my brain and the ability to think and reason. I know that Satan tries to enter our spirits through our mind and I choose to cast out wrong thinking and think on good things. (Philippians 4:8). In Jesus’ name.Amen.
