Romans 12:2 (NKJV) 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Just a short time ago we sent out a teaching that talked about the renewing of our minds. It’s something we need to be reminded of every so often.
But as I pondered on some things this past week, God showed me more about this that we need to share with everyone.
If we were to really look at and be able to comprehend how God transforms our minds, we would be truly amazed. None of us had the mind that God wanted us to have when we first found Him. It’s safe to say that many of us were probably very far from where God wanted us to be.
But by His power, He took us as we were, embracing even the things that might make us reprehensible to others, and He transformed us one day at a time. And it’s safe to say that if we let Him do this, we are no longer the same person we once were.
So just how does He manage to do this? How does He take a corrupt mind and transform it into a mind that He can use, a mind and heart that loves Him?
Here’s what He showed me. He works through the power of the Holy Spirit, softening our heart. This makes us pliable, so He can work His incredible wonders in our lives.
And when His Spirit has prepared us, He then uses His word to teach us truth. We feed on His word. And because He prepared us ahead of time, we embrace His incredible truth and it changes us forever.
No, this doesn’t happen overnight. In fact, it takes considerable time. And the timetable is different for each one of us. But the length of time isn’t the important part. The important part is that it actually transforms us. We are changed by the power of His Spirit and the truth of His word. Transformed forever.
