Renewing Your Mind!

 

 
bible
 
 
 
Sometimes, we can’t see our own sin and when it happens it can separate us from God. We all have blind spots in our lives. We must begin to ask God to show us in his word. how to change.

 

 1 Samuel 15:22-23

 

22 But Samuel replied:  Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination,and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.”
Saul had power and knowledge. His pride separated him from God. He did not deal with his heart and mind early.
This caused him a separation for the rest of his life.  Learning to make your heart right with God, is renewing you mind. If we read on, we see what happens to Saul and his life. Samuel and his regret for anointing  him king. Our choices affect everyone.

 1 Samuel 15:11

11 “I regret that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions.” Samuel was angry, and he cried out to the Lord all that night.

Pride tends to know more than anyone. It can place you above everyone and anything.  Sin of presumption, Let us look at Romans and see what the word says about renewing our mind.

Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Renewing of your mind is crucial for growth. We must condition our minds in the bible. Its up to you to reject or receive God’s truth.

 Ephesians 4:24

24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Understand, it’s our job as people of god, to pray and read the word Put scripture in our heart and mind will change us. Pray in our spiritual language. If we do this we can increase in the power of Christ.  We simply cannot come, into a place of transformation unless we are willing to be fully renewed in christ.  Here are keys to stay in  renewed mind.
