RENEWING OF YOUR MIND

1. Be transformed

Romans 12 : 2

2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Matthew 22 : 37

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

1 Corinthians 2 : 16

16 for,

“Who has known the mind of the Lord

so as to instruct him?”

But we have the mind of Christ.

Proverbs 23 : 7

1 Corinthians 13 : 11

11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.

2. My thoughts are not your thoughts

Isaiah 55 : 8 - 9

8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

neither are your ways my ways,”

declares the Lord.

9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,

so are my ways higher than your ways

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Proverbs 3 : 5 - 7

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him,

and he will make your paths straight.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;

fear the Lord and shun evil.

Proverbs 16 : 3

3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do,

and he will establish your plans.

Isaiah 48 : 17

17 This is what the Lord says—

your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:

“I am the Lord your God,

who teaches you what is best for you,

who directs you in the way you should go.

Isaiah 42 : 16

16 I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,

along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;

I will turn the darkness into light before them

and make the rough places smooth.

These are the things I will do;

I will not forsake them.

3. Thoughts of peace

Jeremiah 29 : 11

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Isaiah 26 : 3

3 You will keep in perfect peace

those whose minds are steadfast,

because they trust in you.

Philippians 4 : 6 - 8

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

***********************

4. The Lord’s counsel will stand.

Proverbs 19 : 21

21 There are many plans in a man’s heart,

Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.

Psalm 33 : 11

11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,

the purposes of his heart through all generations

Job 42 : 2

2 “I know that you can do all things;

no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

Isaiah 14 : 24

24 The Lord Almighty has sworn,

“Surely, as I have planned, so it will be,

and as I have purposed, so it will happen.

***********************

5. Have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

Philippians 2: 1 - 11

1 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,

2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature God,

did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

7 rather, he made himself nothing

by taking the very nature of a servant,

being made in human likeness.

8 And being found in appearance as a man,

he humbled himself
