The affirming power of God's Word has a unique and transforming quality. We are told that we are to be transformed by renewing our mind. The key is that there are so many believers that do not understand the dynamics of mind renewal, so I decided to share with you a truth so powerful that when received and acted upon it will literally change transform your life.
Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. (Rom. 12:2, AMP)
In Paul's admonishment to the Romans concerning their potential conformity to the world (the current way of thinking). He reveals a succinct yet quite powerful truth; the power of thought to transform one's existence. "But be transformed by the renewal of your mind" speaks to the power of words and thoughts. Your perceptions, your attitude, your emotional responses are all a part of your thought processes.
And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude]...(Eph. 4:23, AMP)
Yet again we see the call to be renewed in the mind. Why is this? The mind is the foundation of our existence; as we think and believe; we exist. In psychology there is a constant inference that feeds the cliché "perception is reality". This inference recognizes the fact that our thought processes influence every other aspect of our lives. We truly are what we think.
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he...(Pro. 23:7, AMP)
If this is true, then it is very important for each of us to monitor our thoughts, the words we speak, as well as the words others speak concerning us. Let's take a quick look at Romans 12:2 once again. This scripture reveals that the renewal of the mind produces the capability for transformation. So, when you are looking for elevation, power, focus, and more, it begins with your thought processes.
Well, how does one renew the mind? The mind is renewed by the constant, daily intake, digestion, metabolism and inculcation of Bible doctrine. Simply put, the more you place the Word of God in front of you, to read, hear, and meditate on, the more you will begin to see the transforming power of God's Word through the renewal of your mind.
When you begin to fill your mind with the Word of God you will see the powerful effect it has to change you and your position. In order to change you, you have to change your thinking and the way you change your thinking is to change the information you feed your mind.
The most powerful resource that I have encountered in assisting believers in renewing their minds is Bible scripture. There literally thousands of Christian Affirmations within the multitudinous scriptural passages in the Bible and each one has the power to transform.
In my years of study in the fields of psychology and theology, it is hard for me to think of one single thing that has more impact on a Christian's walk than their faith and their faith is a direct reflection of what they believe; not just what they believe concerning God, but what they believe about their relationship with God. Based on Scripture, these beliefs (faith) are the direct result of hearing the Word spoken.
When you are able to hear, read, and meditate on these Christian Affirmations it builds up your self-worth, emotional and spiritual self-esteem, and more. You have probably had those moments in which you felt overwhelmed about all you face daily, but a constant influx of positive affirmations about who you are, what you mean to God, how God is working in the midst of all your struggles will lift and strengthen you to endure until your breakthrough comes.
Whether you have been a serious student for years or you are just beginning your quest for knowledge, this program will elevate you in ways unimaginable. I encourage you to elevate yourself through the renewal of your mind.
The Word of God has served me well and I encourage you to take hold of Its power to transform even the most troubled life into a powerful and productive one.
