Rom 12:2 (ESV) Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, acceptable & perfect. —Renewing our minds! Our minds are like a field that has been planted with seed, without continual weeding the good crop will be overcome by the weeds. We are to plant our minds with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, & self-control.
If we are not continually weeding out the negative thoughts, the anger, pride, lies, immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness then they will choke out the good crop. We must take every thought captive to obey Christ. Remember God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power, love & a sound mind. Don’t become a victim of fear or evil, because our God is greater & He promised to never leave us or forsake us! Keep the faith & believe in the power of God! Renew your mind by remembering Gods truths in scripture and removing all bad thoughts until you fully trust God. Love Mel
