God
promises victory in His Word…His truth sets us free & radically
transforms our life! Our part is to renew our mind with His Word, not
doing so allows us to drift into worldly thinking & living-thus
forfeiting the victory promised. Our conscience has to be calibrated to
the Word, purposely lined up or it will default to what it believes is
right; a man's mind seems right but ends in death. It's
a subtle reasoning process that leads one thought at a time into
deception; the intent isn't to reject God's truth, but a mind not
submitted to the Word will naturally default to opposing the truth.
That's how Christians get into huge messes like affairs, embezzling money or just losing their way-they profess the Word with their mouth but their mind isn't actively being lined up to the Word. It just takes a few thoughts before you're mind is entertaining things that oppose scripture. Bottom line-any opposition to God's Word cheats you out of God's best for your life!
The Word is counter intuitive to our mind-we don't naturally want to forgive those who've harmed us, love somebody who's unloving, tithe when our means are limited or believe before we see, etc. We must seek the Word constantly to stay on course-thoughts that don't line up have to be tossed out! Opposing thoughts allowed to linger become part of your thought patterns which lead to actions that oppose God's goods plans for your life. Likewise, thoughts that line up with God's truth develop thought patterns rooted in truth & lead to God's good plans. You're still going to get off course but God's grace covers you if you're seeking Him!
When you mess up, don't turn away from God...His love & intimacy is the fuel that sustains you when you don't see how you can do what He asks. When depleted, tired & weary, His Word is your anchor to continue on. Don't throw away your victory-calibrate your conscience to God's truth & live the radically transformed life promised to you! So, will you? (Rom 12:2, Jn 8:32, Pr 14:12, Heb 6:19, Heb 10:35, 1 Cor 15:57) LMM #victory #transformed #mind #believe #christianinsightforlife
