Renewing the mind can’t merely be talked about. It must be chosen and experienced firsthand. God knows this. This is why He puts before us each day life and death telling us to choose Life, His Life, by agreeing to renew our minds (Deuteronomy 30:19). What a blessed journey.
God’s Love – all that it surely entails – is so enticing. His righteousness is so freeing and beautiful.
your (God’s) kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:10
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind (doing so cleanses our minds from the impact sin has had on our thinking), that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (to live with the immense blessing His ways and thinking can have on our lives).
Romans 12:2
God’s perfect will is for us to live our lives inside His Kingdom of Light as much as we can on earth. Think of that – In His Kingdom. Wow, what a spectacular opportunity He’s inviting us into. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime. It’s like walking back into Eden letting go of this world with each step as we obey Him to renew our minds to His supernatural Word. What liberation. What Love.
I keep hearing Jesus say, “Come and experience My Kingdom.” As we learn to walk with Him, we shed our earthly ways making room for His amazingly joyful ways that bring health to our spirits in so many wonderful ways. It is so marvelous to feel Him actually changing you as you drop this world’s ways by the side.
Thank You, Jesus, for Your consistent faithfulness to keep us coming further into Your exciting Kingdom of mercy, peace, rest, and joy.
Being confident of this very thing, that he (God) which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philippians 1:6
Thanking and praising God in all things (Ephesians 5:20),
Mark
Note: While we may not agree with everything a particular church or Christian group teaches or believes, there are times when we can be blessed by something outside the realm of our current understanding of God.
