Renewing The Mind.
1 - Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world
1 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.
2 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. - Romans 12:1-2
2 - Be made new in the attitude of your minds
22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self,
which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the
attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God
in true righteousness and holiness.- Ephesians 4:22-24
3 - The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come
from the Spirit of God
14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit
of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them,
because they are spiritually discerned. - I corinthians 2:14
4 - wisdom comes from heaven
15 Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of
the devil. 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find
disorder and every evil practice. 17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven
is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive,
full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.-James 3:15-17
5 - Take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the
contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish
arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the
knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it
obedient to Christ.- II Corinthians 10:3-5
6 - Be led by the Spirit
16So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful
nature. 17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and
the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each
other, so that you do not do what you want. 18 But if you are led
by the Spirit, you are not under law - Galatians 5:16-18
7-Those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on
what the Spirit desires
5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what
that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have
their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6The mind of sinful man is death,
but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; 7 the sinful mind is
hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.
8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God. 9 You, however,
are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives
in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to
Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit
is alive because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus
from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will
also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you. - Romans 8:5-11
8-Let's live by the truth
21-But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen
plainly that what he has done has been done through God.- John 3:21
9-keys to Renewing The Mind
Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and
night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will
be prosperous and successful. - Joshua 1:8
1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand
in the way of sinnersor sit in the seat of mockers. 2 But his delight is in the law
of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree
planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf
does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. 4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff that the wind blows away. - Psalms 1:1-4
If these things are clear to you, happy are you if you do them. - John 13:17
Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God? - John 11:40
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the harmony of the Holy Spirit, be with you. - 2 Corithians 13:14
Be in peace and until next time.
