Hey, welcome back!. We have been sharing about mind renewal causing transformation. This is so important because this is key to being all that God wants us to be as grown up sons and daughters walking in the full manifestation of the presence of the Spirit of the risen Christ in us and having good success in life.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
If you haven’t read the 1st part of this please do as it is very key. Please read the first part of Mind renewal causing transformation here.
THE 5 KEY STEPS FOR MIND RENEWAL :
Behold, Believe, Think, Speak, Become
2. BELIEVE
Believe the Word!. This may appear very straightforward, you would say, of course I believe, but hey, the proof of belief is the action taken due to the belief that is held. We are born again by believing Jesus and everything else in our new life in Christ comes by believing. There are things i thought I believed until I realised that my speech and actions were saying the opposite.
I have come to a point where i have chosen to settle it in my heart that I believe the word of God over other people’s opinions, my feelings, physical circumstances, my experiences, and anything that tries to make me believe contrary to what God says. This is something i am learning. I have concluded that I cannot say i believe, if my words or actions contradict what I say I believe.
Now when I see in the word who God has made me, when I see what he has done, in making me his daughter can I believe it? I HAVE TO BELIEVE IT. I have to because, what I see in the word is the reality, my current experience is not if it is not in alignment with what I am seeing in the word.
I’ve realised when I believe what God says , I am empowered to be what He says. When i believe I am righteous, then I am empowered to live righteously. When I believe I am his temple, then I begin to live conscious of his presence. When I believe nothing can separate me from His love then I will live as the loved. When I believe I have the spirit of power, of love and a sound mind, then I will begin to be powerful, loving and of a sound mind. when I believe I am healed, then I will be healed. When I believe him when he says I am his child! then I’ll stop living like an orphan.
To move from mental understanding to really believing in my heart, I’ve got to keep exposing my heart to the word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The more i behold His word, the more i build faith. As I take steps and carry out actions based on what I believe I find my faith muscles strenghten further.
BELIEVE THE WORD!
Believe the impossible! because nothing is impossible with God. If he tells you that water can be walked on, believe it, don’t rationalise it, don’t try to work it out, just take Him at His word and KNOW beyond a shadow of doubt that what He says is true.
Let your paradigm shift. Let your perspective change. Let your thought processes be governed by the Word of God.
1 Peter 2:6
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM SHALL NOT BE CONFOUNDED.
