The Renewing Of The Mind!
.....Romans 12: 2 says, "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."
.....This is one thing in each of our lives that we have yet to do today. We are not to be conformed to this world, but we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We are to replace our low thinking with high thinking. That means that we are to replace the way we saw things with seeing them from a higher level. We have the ability today to do this.
.....Business men have to see the power of God flowing through them in business. Housewives do not have to function in the natural to become successful at what they are doing. Regardless of what God has placed you in, you have a supernatural power to do it in your life today. We who are in Christ, are not like other people. Christianity is not just about forgiveness, it is empowerment, it is anointing, and if we are ever going to lead other people to looking upward toward God, then we are going to have to do some shining, so they can see it.
.....Colossians 3: 1-4 says, "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on the things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear then shall ye also appear with Him in glory."
.....The key of this scripture is in setting your affection on the things above. Because, setting your mind on things above is where our source of life flows from. You do not just have natural life within yourself. When you made Jesus Christ Lord of your life, you were given a new kind of life; Eternal Life.
.....So many times we have read scriptures and thought, I am to set my affections on things above because someday I will be in Heaven, but that is not the real reason for this passage of scripture here. Yes, I will be in Heaven someday, but God wants us to think "Heavenward" today. He wants us to be stars for Him. He wants us to shine with the light of God. He wants us to be enlightened and enlighten others with the Revelation, Wisdom, and Knowledge about Jesus. So others will look up and see the Master, instead of looking down at all their problems and circumstances in their lives. He wants everyone to see the answer, and become victorious.
.....Luke 21: 28 says, "And these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
.....God is calling His people to be stars; shining in a dark and corupt world, getting brighter as the world is getting darker. Let's all start looking up and renewing our minds to what is true of us, and then start sharing that with others.
