RENEWING OF THE MIND
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
We are spirit, we live in a body, and we have a soul.
Our soul is made up of three parts, our mind, our will and our emotion.
Your mind is what you think with
Your will is what you want
Your emotions are what you act on.
Matthew 22: 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is what the mind does; it is supposed to make the right choices to love the Lord with all your heart.
However, your mind can only do what it is trained or renewed to do.
However we still have a will and emotions to deal with.
Your will, doing what you want it to do, is called the desires of the mind.
Then comes the emotions, your emotions can really make your day
They are a state of feeling… happy, anger or fear.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Fear will put you under bondage, anger causes toxins, or poisons to be released into your body.
Eph 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
1 Corinthians 6: 19-20 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Let us talk about our mind: our mind is what we think. Did you ever hear the expression “I gave her or him a peace of my mind?”
Or I think I am loosing my mind:
Or my mind isn’t what it used to be
It is just mind over matter. I don’t mind and it don’t matter.
That is bad lingo in any language.
Eph. 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
We need to renew our minds daily, so the enemy can not deceive us. the way we renew our minds is to read and study the Word of God. The enemy is very cunning and very smart.
Take heed to your selves, that your heart be not deceived. the best way not to be deceived is to know the Word.
Our life is not in the mind, our life is in the spirit, our mind is carnal, and sometimes carnal is not good.
Eph 2:5 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Open your mind and receive the inspired word of God. I challenge you to read five minutes five days a week. I know that just reading five minutes a day five days a week will change your life, make it better, happier, fuller.
Receive this anointing and power from reading and discerning of His word
Let the word quicken your mind with the life force that makes our spirit alive beyond natural thinking.
If you will let Gods presence in your life, the Holy Spirit will give you insight to put Gods word into action.
Romans 12: 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
It is not about your will. It is about the will of God and the renewing of your mind.
