We know that our transformation is closely linked to the renewing of our mind. This mind, the leading part of our soul needs to be renewed. How do you take care of this matter in your christian growth in the Lord. How often do you believe we should come to the Word to be renewed in our mind.
There is a crucial verse in Romans 8:6
" For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace.
The transformation of our soul with the Mind Will and Emotions truly hinges on the renewing.
Share on the importance of this part of your christian life.
Ty for sharing with all of us.
In Christ

As a longtime Christian, I truly see that I didnt fully understand this till a few years ago and it was difficult as I kept trying to change certain things just by asking God to change them, but I didnt seem to change those things, and I felt lost a lot of the time. But, GOd had to truly show me , thru prayer and direct revelation what this really means. WE can ask God to do things for us all day long, but if we arent willing to allow Him to change how we think, we stay in some old habits, old many things, and it never changes. WE need to be delivered of old fallen sin nature type of thinking, that keeps us down, lost and giving up a lot of the time. When we understand what it means to be born again, its life changing. `1 John 3:9 says that those born of God cant sin. So you read that and think HUH??? we must sin cuz of the fallen sin nature. Old ca ca thinking that needs to go folks. amen
But, when we become mature as Christians, and that has nothing to do with age folks, some young ppl get this even before we older ones do, Praise God.. anyhow, when we get this , we must ask why? how? Jesus didnt just die so we may not die a spiritual death. Its so much more. WHen we are born again, we are a new creation. We are to take on the character and mind of Jesus Christ. You say how do you do that/ WEll, God calls us to obedience, purity and rightoues living. Many today say it cant be done. Oh yes and God commands it, IT IS A REQUIREMENT. But how? By knowing that has now given us a new nature, and commands us to obey. WE must allow Him to work in us thru obedience to change what needs to change in us. This is the renewing of our mind. How can God do that, if we are always out there sinning, begging for grace, and stil living like the world? Grace does not cover willfull delibarete sin. We will not do what we know is sin, when we are born again. IF you are wanting only to sin, then you havent submitted your will to Gods and allowed Him to renew your mind and give you the new pure clean heart He longs to give us all. These things are decisions as much as a decision to believe in God. You must choose also whether to obey God and recieve His blessings, or choose to ignore God and receive of the curse. Obedience leads to blessings still and disobedience still leads to curse. Maybe in the beginning, you dont feel a particular habit or desire changed. But if you continue doing as God says, He will change the things in you that need to be changed. daily sanctification, and daily you become more like Jesus Christ. WE must allow God to change our minds, renew our minds and make us like Him. Thru obedience we can, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, we can do those things. This is a decision. When one says I will daily do the things you require of me God , I want to do them, I want to know how I can serve you more and better Lord, and truly stand by those decisions and call upon the power of God to do so, God will transfrom you from the inside out. YOu will say well I am still not perfect. But when God perfectly has your full heart, the rest will come into place. But without our full hearts, HE cant change us. HE wont change what we refuse to give up. God wants us to give up anything that keeps us from being fully His. So its choice. If we do it just to make a brownie point with God, it doesnt work. You cant buy or earn your way into Gods Kingdom. But by giving God your full heart and allowing HIm to change your mind by the Holy Spirit annointing, you will find you can overcome anything and do all God calls you to do. To understand the mind, body , spirit soul connection is lifechanging. But be careful, as with everything.. FOr every truth of God comes a counterfit from the devil. Many teachings out there on this and not all line up with the word of God. Know God and Know His word , check all things against this to see what is true and what is not. But when you learn the Biblical truths of mind, body, spirit connection , it will change your world. YOu wont think about sin , you wont worry about it and you wont do it, becuse your mind is set on the mind of Christ. The spirit connects to your spirit mind, and boy all things are possible then. Amen.
WE have to live in this natural world. BUt, we must operate within the supernatural realm, where the Sprit connects to our spirit and we take that back to our natural mind, and it works out together, to just KNOW. Life changing info, I only barely touched on it, due to lack of space. LEts study the Bible more and KNOW, as its all just there We dont need any other material to learn these things.
Thanks for a great question. God bless you.
