The Mind Part 2

The Mind Part 2
by Frann Wohlers
Our focus this week is our memory verse:
Romans 12:2—“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.”
God never asks a thing of us that He doesn’t give the grace to accomplish. We DO NOT have to conform to the world’s standards; we CAN be transformed and we CAN renew our minds. We CAN because God tells us we can.
Remember that “being transformed” means to undergo a complete INWARD change. This change results in a new character and new conduct. We are able to accomplish this by accepting God’s grace, and by CHOOSING to do it.
Remember that “renewing your mind” means adjusting your vision and your mind to the mind of God so that your moral and spiritual life and thoughts line up with His. This is what transforms your life.
No matter what type of mind you struggle with--be it doubtful, unbelieving, fearful, anxious, critical, judgmental, controlling—remember that you can choose to renew your mind and change your thoughts.
During the week, spend focused time in your bible and continue to write down scriptures that speak truth into your situation. Every time your mind goes to a place that you know is not of God, STOP! Get out your 3 x 5 cards and speak aloud a biblical truth that renews your mind to the mind of Christ.
Begin the process of memorizing your life-giving scriptures. Soon you will be able to “renew” your mind immediately whenever a lie enters in. This is what a transformed life is all about!
