WHY WE SHOULD RENEW OUR MINDS

“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.”~ Romans 12:2

Have you ever tried getting water from an empty water dispenser? Well, of course, you couldn’t get water because the dispenser is empty. Simply put, you cannot give out what you don’t have.

Back to the context of our minds, today we will be looking at the question of why we need to renew our minds.

You see, when we feed on the Word of God, allowing virtuous and gracious words and thoughts to fill up our minds, we are building up our reservoir. We are sharpening and strengthening our defenses in preparation for when the enemy comes.

Yes, when he comes, because he will come.

Scripture says, “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.” – Isaiah 59:19.

Emphasis on the word when, not if.

The word when lets us know that he will surely come. But when he comes, the one way we can defeat him and his tactics is by making use of what we have in our reservoir—the strength we have built through the renewing of our minds.

When he comes with his negative seeds, we are able to withstand them from being planted in our hearts.

It becomes easier because we have built ourselves up with the Word of the Lord so much that the lies of the enemy can no longer have an effect on us or penetrate our hearts.

Prayer: Lord, help me hunger for your word, help me that I build myself up with your word, meditating on it day and night.
