CD#70 Renewing The Mind!
“Renewing The Mind!”
(Transcript of CD#70)
One of the hardest things to change in our life is our way of thinking. Our mind is so very powerful it contains the words of our tongue. We know from the great book of James that our tongue is likened to a rudder on a ship in one instance. Just as the rudder on that ship turns the vessel in direction of its destiny so it is with our words. We know this because when we believed in our heart and confessed with our mouth the Lord Jesus Christ our life went from death to eternal!
So we see the importance of changing, renewing our minds to match our Lord. Please keep in mind though, how long you were building your thought patterns. It took you x many years to train yourself to where you are in life now. So don’t be discouraged when you don’t change overnight after becoming a Christian.
Today’s study is for everybody! It does not matter if your rich or poor, highly intelligent or average, powerful or weak, handsome, beautiful or homely, free or bound in some way. No matter who you are, or where you have come from: success only comes by renewing our minds and thinking according to the Lord Jesus Christ.
The world has deceived all of us, at one time or another. As time went by we started a pattern of thinking just for our survival. Dog eat dog, get them before they get us etc.…. There is no peace in a life that the world offers. So we try to find satisfaction within our minds with fleeing avenues to no avail. When we have come to our last rope we finally “try Jesus” the only true answer. Now we must learn how to reprogram our minds for success, success according to the Lord.
