RENEWING YOUR MIND
There is absolutely no way you can live in one-hundred percent victory unless you are continually renewing your mind. To arm yourself with the mind of Christ, you must saturate your heart and mind daily with the Word of God. Once a week on Sunday is not enough because Satan is active every day, not just on Sundays.
In the natural world, you cannot eat a meal once a week on Sunday and expect to maintain your health. The same is true in the spiritual world. You cannot receive spiritual nourishment just once a week. You must receive regular daily nourishment in order to maintain your spiritual health.
The renewing of your mind must be a continual daily process. As you fill your spirit with the Word of God each day and bring your heart and mind into submission to the Holy Spirit, you will be renewed “...in knowledge after the image of him that created him” (Colossians 3:10).
Paul said, “Be renewed in the spirit of your mind” (Ephesians 4:23). The renewal mentioned here is not referring simply to the natural mind with its abilities to retain knowledge. The “spirit” of your mind refers to thoughts, attitudes, and desires which are to be brought under the dominion and control of the Holy Spirit. The "spirit of your mind" is the portion of your mind which brings you into fellowship with God and directs your mental energies toward pleasing Him and fulfilling His will.
The word "renew", as used here means to adjust your thinking to the moral and spiritual thinking of the mind of God. So how do you do this? You must fill your mind with God’s Word and meditate on it continually until it becomes an integral part of your life. As your mind is renewed each day through the Word of God, you will go out into the world armed with the victorious mind of Christ. You will have the mindset that you will not be defeated regardless of the circumstances you face. You will not become weary or faint in your mind. You will be strong, immovable, and victorious over every attack. You will be spiritually armed and dangerous!
Satan is amassing his forces to come against believers in an end-time assault to stop the advances we are making into his territory with the light of the Gospel. Part of his battle plan is to seize control of your mind. But through these devotional readings, you are gaining knowledge of his tactics. You are receiving a spiritual breakthrough that will enable you to be prepared for every attack and allow you to successfully fulfill your divine destiny.
