Created to Operate With Renewed Mind

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable...

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2 

 “To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?” 2 Corinthians 2:16

The mind is the essential tool in bringing the reality of God's Kingdom to the problems and crisis we face as Christians.

Every thought and act in your life speak of allegiance to God or to satan. Both are empowered by your agreement, which is "your mind" 

When faced with negative circumstances, what is your first thought? Is it "I can't make it"? Scripture says to fix your eyes on Jesus in 2 Corinthians 4:18 and look at the eternal not the temporary things.

If you fail to put Christ above your circumstances, then there could be something missing in your character that prohibits you from resting in Christ Jesus and believing that He will lead you victoriously. It could be your faith isn't yet strong enough.

Align your thoughts with what God says about you and not what your situations says.

Whose report will you now set your mind upon?

CHRIST'S all powerful or man.

Renew your mind and be a new creation.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."

II Corinthians 5:17 NKJV.

Your strength is renewed, your hope in Christ is renewed, your faith too should be renewed.

A renewed mind in Christ may still experience challenges, but the challenges will be solely to build your character and enforce your faith in Christ, so even if you're "going through hell", "you don't stop", you go straight through and exit into victory and glory.

Your focus should always be on Christ the author and finisher of our faith

Hebrews 12:2 NKJV.

Remember the saying "the mind is a terrible thing to waste" that's an upright and positive mind.
