“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
~Romans 12:2 (KJV)

“(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but
mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;)
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that
exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing
into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”
~II Corinthians 10:4-5 (KJV)

“Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things
above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth
[which have only temporal value]. For you died [to this world],
and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.”
~Colossians 3:2-3 (AMP)

As born-again believers, we have been redeemed from the curse
that still resides on this world.
That’s awesome news! However, the enemy wants to keep us
bound to our past mistakes, our past sins, and our past selves. The
way to overcome this is by renewing our minds to the Word of
God!

I am a new creation! “Old things have passed away, behold
all things have become new!” ~II Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which
are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after
the spirit!” ~Romans 8:1 (KJV)

When we speak the Word of God, it releases the power of God
in our lives! It reminds the enemy that we are no longer his. It
reminds us that we have been made new. It reminds the world that
we are different!

Simply speaking the Word, however, is not enough, we must
allow it to wash over us to the point that we don’t simply speak it
from rote memorization, but from a place of faith, of trust, of
knowing that we know that it works and that it is our sword!

Listen, the Bible is alive! It works. It is spirit and it is truth. It has
the power to change us from the inside out, to bring us into a
deeper, more intimate walk with the Lord. It has the power to mold
us into a force to be reckoned with!

When we are full of the Word of God, we have the power to cast
down wicked imaginations and everything that would dare exalt
itself against the knowledge of God!

We live in a world that is anti-Christ, anti-Bible, and anti-Jesus,
but can I tell you some more great news?! That doesn’t have to
faze us when our hope is not in what we can see but what we can’t
see! The Bible allows us to see the unseen, to have an eternal
perspective, to see as God sees, to love as God loves, and to hate as
God hates!

With the Bible as our sole guide, we can know Him more, and
we can become more like Him!
Be encouraged today, no matter what you are facing right now.

The Bible has the answers! Jesus is the answer!

The Bible says, “For in Him we live and move and exist
[that is, in Him we actually have our being], as even some of
your own poets have said, „For we also are His children.‟”
~Acts 17:28 (AMP)

In Him we are more than conquerors! In Him we are victorious!
In Him we have peace and joy!

He is for you!
