RECONSTRUCTION OF THE MIND
posted by Osax at 06:08:21 02.05.20151 Corinthians 2:9 tells us that God has prepared some things for those who love Him and that He has revealed them to us through His Spirit. One of the functions of the Spirit of God is to show us the things that have been freely given to us. God has made these things available to us, but it is our responsibility to make sure we walk in the reality of these things. We need to embrace the reality of the mind of Christ, because it is the mind of Christ that knows these things. Our greatest enemy is not satan! Our greatest enemy is the man between our shoulders - our minds! If we can win that man, we have won the world.
How do we change our mind? When a man first goes into the army, they subject him to things that eventually reprogram him. It is a deception to believe that what you see or watch will not change your life. Your mind was designed to take in whatever you expose it to. To reprogram it, we must submit to God, by submitting to His Word. God has His own way of doing things. God"s way of finances is not the world"s way. The same is true of divine protection, divine healing, etc. We need to understand the ways of God. Often we try to force God to abide by our own programming, but the truth is that God is too big to abide by our own programming. It is only when the seed of God"s word enters our hearts, that our minds are forced to be reprogrammed. We will never change our mind until we change what we believe, what we say and what we do. At every given time there must be something that we are dealing with in our relationship with God and some truth that we are internalizing.
Memory Verse: "Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17
Wisdom Key: We will never change our mind until we change what we believe, what we say and what we do.
Life Application: How can we firstly find out and secondly walk in those things that God has made freely available to us? How do we begin the process of actively reconstructing and renewing our minds?
