Renewing
Of Your Mind
Jesus said that if we continue to live into his words, we would know the truth and that truth would set us free - free from a life of bondage to debilitating thoughts and sinful behaviour.
.
We have the choice every day to recreate healthy Christ-centred thoughts - thoughts that remind us of who we are in Christ, what we can do in His strength and what we need not be a slave to any longer. Begin today giving greater attention to our thoughts.
.
Let the truth of Scripture transform our minds, so that we flourish and grow into people who are living in the fullness of who God designed us to be. And let the abundant life of Christ flow freely in and through you.

‘But be transformed by the renewing of your minds.’ - (Romans 12:2)
Here are nine simple words that if heeded
have the potential to redirect our behaviour into what is good and wholesome
and recreate lives that are pleasing to the Lord.
Beloved, is your mind in full alignment
with God’s promises?
For our thoughts, if aligned with God’s
word and the promptings of the Holy Spirit have the power to rewrite the script
of our lives.
As the proverb
aptly says, ‘as a man thinks so he is.’
(Proverbs
23:7)
We all have false narratives that we cling
to.
Sin, death, failure… These are the
stumbling blocks that shape our beliefs and consequently, our behaviours.
What are the words we tell ourselves?
‘I can’t do that job’,
‘No one appreciates me’,
‘I am nothing’,
‘This relationship is doomed’,
‘I have health conditions that mean my life is over’.
These are the thoughts that keep us stuck
in a perpetual cycle of pain, fear, doubt and negativity.
We are then in bondage to a life that keeps
us limited.
These false narratives need to be challenged.
They need to be seen through the lens of God’s truth.
Can we allow the truth to shape who we
become?
Can we give ourselves permission to dare to
believe another story?
Let the truth of Scripture transform our
minds, so that we flourish and grow into people who are living in the fullness
of who God designed us to be.
Jesus said that if we continue to live into
his words, we would know the truth and that truth would set us free (John 8:32).
Free from a life of bondage to debilitating
thoughts and sinful behaviour.
We have the choice every day to recreate
healthy Christ-centred thoughts.
Thoughts that remind us of who we are in
Christ, what we can do in His strength and what we need not be a slave to any
longer.
Begin today giving greater attention to our
thoughts.
To what we are telling ourselves and how
that thinking is shaping our choices, our behaviour and ultimately our lives.
Determine that truth, not lies, will be the
standard by which our choices are made.
Let’s start renewing, rewriting and recreating
lives that are truly glorifying to God and built upon the truth of His Word and
the leading of His Spirit.
Meditate on God’s promises.
Receive His blessings.
And let the abundant life of Christ flow
freely in and through you.
Be Greatly Blessed!
Prayer:
Heavenly Father and God of all truth, I ask that you
would show me the lies that I have believed for too long lies that are limiting
my life.
Forgive me of my sin and please give me the courage and
wisdom to make choices that are founded on the truth of your Word.
Help me to think thoughts that are aligned with your
Word and promises.
Renew my mind, so that I can be more and more like you.
May the abundant life of our Lord Jesus Christ flow
freely in and through me.
Fill me to the overflowing, so that I too can be a
blessing to those around me.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name,
AMEN!
