Renewing The Mind — Part 2
You will not walk yourself holy until you talk yourself holy. You need to rescue your mind from itself. A caterpillar cannot fly—a carnal mind cannot operate in God’s ways (pray daily, read the Bible, etc.)
You will not walk yourself holy until you talk yourself holy
Isaiah 55:7-9
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
You need to rescue your mind from itself.
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.
A caterpillar cannot fly—a carnal mind cannot operate in God’s ways (pray daily, read the Bible, etc.)
Hebrews 8:10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Change is required! You have to do something differently, let the wicked forsake his ways.
Ephesians 4:22-24
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Ephesians 5:8
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: Ephesians 5:8
We Should Be Showing Signs Of Growing Up
1 Corinthians 3:1-4
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
We all know of areas where we need to change, but the areas that we really do not want to change are the ones which cause the most problems.
Pride resists change!
Daniel 5:2-31
Signs, Wonders, And Miracles Only Occur As Our Minds Are Renewed
F.C. Pickering was praying for people to be healed in a healing line. He came to a man in a wheelchair, picked him up out of the chair, walked him up to the platform and asked him what he wanted prayer for.
The man responded that he could not walk until Pickering picked him up out of the wheelchair.
Pickering did not know the man could not walk.
*The cable company sends a signal, via the cable, which is received by your TV, where an image is produced.
*Elohim sends a message, via the Holy Ghost, which is received by your spirit, and an image is produced in your mind.
*Satan sends a message, via demonic or worldly influence, which is received by your mind and produces an image.
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Deuteronomy 30:19
God Can Do Much More Than You Think
Ephesians 3:20 (Amplified)
Now to him who, by (in consequence of) the [action of his] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out his purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we dare ask or think—infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams.
So Why Isn’t He?
Luke 6:45
Because of bad deposits in your heart. HOWEVER, your thinking must change or you will only re-deposit junk.
A Jewish father in Germany changed religion to Lutheranism because of business failure. His son was Karl Marx, the founder of Communism.
Mark 7:13 — Traditions
Mark 12:24 — Lack of Knowledge
Self justification
Proverbs 14:12
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 14:12
Justifying your beliefs and old ways will prevent you from going on to new ways.
Result: Tradition and error always put you in a place of non-resistance to Satan, contrary to scripture.
Lazarus
When Lazarus was raised from the dead, he was most definitely alive, but he was wrapped in the death clothes of tradition. Yeshua raised him, but others unwrapped him.
