POWER OF A RENEWED MIND
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind… (Romans 12:2).
God’s plan for your transformation and dominion begins with your mind. The realities or truths of His Word become your experience only when your mind is aligned with them. Thus, the renewal of the mind is so important; it’s God’s instrument for shaping your life. A renewed mind is a mind that’s regulated by the Word, an excellent mind.
To renew your mind is simple: it’s by the Word of God. It simply means to exchange your thoughts for God’s thoughts, to stay your mind on His Word in meditation: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee” (Isaiah 26:3). A renewed mind produces peace with prosperity; that’s the Hebrew connotation of the expression “perfect peace”— ‘shalom’.
A renewed mind thinks only on the Word: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Philippians 4:8). This will produce in you the mindset of the just—the mindset of excellence, victory, success and prosperity.
That’s why God is more interested in changing your way of thinking. As you meditate on the Word, it restructures your beliefs and upgrades your understanding. Therefore, consciously inundate your thoughts with God’s Word. Refuse to allow worldly philosophies or fear-based reasoning to dominate your perspective. Let God’s Word be the lens through which you interpret life.
When your mind is renewed, fear disappears, faith rises, and boldness takes over. You talk, think, and act like God. You make decisions from a position of wisdom and dominion. So, continually expose your mind to the realities of the new creation. Think like Jesus. See possibilities. Expect results. Align your thoughts with God’s truths, and your life will be excellent and full of His glory. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your Word that renews my mind and transforms my life. I reject every thought that contradicts your truth. I think possibilities, I think dominion, I think excellence, and I walk in the light of your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
