“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.”
-Romans 12:2 (NIV)
The pattern of this world has a thought process and belief system that is the opposite of the Kingdom of Heaven. Our thoughts and beliefs lead our actions and decisions, making them our filter in life. If we don’t renew our minds and make sure our thought life is in agreement with the Word of God, thinking like Him, we will not be able to discern God’s “good, pleasing, and perfect will.”
These wrong patterns of thinking will be the very thing that blocks us from living out our new natures, to be like Christ.
The key to living transformed is through the renewal of our minds.
Yes — it’s that simple.
Let’s have the boldness to face our thought patterns from a place of humility, stop justifying and reasoning our way into keeping any thought that does not glorify God, and hold what we’re thinking up to what He says.
If we can’t imagine Jesus saying it or thinking — it’s got to go!
It’s time to come out of agreement with every wrong thought pattern and belief system until we think and see like Jesus.
This is when our new natures, to be like Christ, will take form.
It’s time to live transformed!
I’m praying the Holy Spirit reveals the mindsets and belief systems that are holding you back from living in the fullness of new life that Jesus paid for.
