9.70 Be transformed by the renewing of your mind
The spiritual battlefield for the believer is really in the mind. Do we align our minds with the finished work of Christ or do we not? Do we see our identity in Christ or do we not?
The following verse talks about spiritual warfare. It talks about pulling down strongholds in our minds, casting down arguments and every thing that comes against the knowledge of God. It talks about bringing EVERY THOUGHT into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Our every thought should be aligned with the finished work of Christ.
(2 Cor 10:4-5)
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ…
Now that is a journey. The first step is to know that “IT IS FINISHED!” Some have not even come to that place. Thereafter, we can start to read the Word to discover what has changed since the finished work! It is a journey to renew our minds with the truths of the New Covenant.
Romans 12:2 says that we are not to be conformed to the world, but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. Transformation starts from the mind. When the mind is renewed, we will know the will of God.
(Rom 12:1-2)
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 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.
In the same passage, Romans 12:1 says that we are to present our bodies as a living sacrifice for the purposes of God. The way that we can do it is first, to have the renewing of our mind.
The spirit is born again with the seed of Christ and the union of the Holy Spirit. The mind is to be renewed by the truths of Christ. Then the body is presented as a living sacrifice. This is divine order.
