hOW DO WE ACCOMPLISH THIS AND YET STILL REMAIN IN THE NORMAL CATEGORY. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A VERY FREE SPIRIT AT HEART AND SO NEED TO DRAW SOME PERAMETERS ? THANKS FELLOW BIBLE LOVERS AND BELIEVERS
The Bible talks about our need to strip away the old and put on the new—kind of like re-wallpapering our minds. "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think" (Romans 12:2). When you know what God says and renew your mind daily to the truth, you start to think differently about God, about yourself, about others, and about life. Every day, as you re-wallpaper your mind with the life-changing words of God, your perspective starts to change.

One Bible translator paraphrased Paul’s words this way: “Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould.” (Romans 12:2, Phillips) Satan will try anything to force you into his mold, like the potter of old who forced the clay into an open mold to pick up the markings and characteristics he wanted to impress on it. Satan has the world’s politics, commerce, religion, and entertainment geared up to do that. Just how pervasive is his influence? It is as widespread as it was in the apostle John’s day. “The whole world,” John said, “is lying in the power of the wicked one.” If you have any doubts about Satan’s ability to seduce people and corrupt their thinking, remember how effectively he did this to a whole nation of people, Israel, who were dedicated to God.

The transformation is the work that God does in our lives, it comes as a result of our spending our time with Him, in His word, surrendering ourselves to Him, trusting in Him and putting Him first in our lives. Specifically it is the work of His Holy Spirit. Nothing could be more normal.
