Your mind holds tremendous creative ability. That's why God gave you an
imagination--so that you could create mental pictures, add faith to them and
see those pictures manifest in your life.
Once you have an image in your mind of something you want to do or
become, nothing can stop that image from coming to pass. Whatever you meditate on
will become the blueprint for your reality. Too often, though, Christians suffer from
"stinking thinking." They give the devil control of their minds by
meditating on thoughts that do not line up with the Word of God. Then they reap
the results of the curse because their carnal mindset produces the fruit of the
flesh described in Galatians 5:19-21.
To keep the devil from gaining a foothold in your life, you must develop a
sound mind that is completely controlled and directed by the Holy Spirit. In
other words, you must renew your mind with the Word of God. Romans 12:2 says,
"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." When you become
born again, your spirit instantly changes; you are recreated in Christ Jesus (2
Corinthians 5:17). Yet your mind is not recreated. You must conform your
thinking continually and on purpose; it is not an overnight, one-time event.
Renewing your mind to God's Word every day is vital. By reading the Scriptures and meditating on them
thoroughly, your thinking will be transformed to line up with the mind of
Christ. And when you have the mind of Christ, you can do anything!
When you set your mind on the Word of God,
you'll also experience soul prosperity and peace (3 John 2). The Bible says that the issues of life flow out of the
heart (Proverbs 4:23). The word heart in this scripture actually refers to your soul--your mind, your
will and your emotions. If you can control
your mind, you can control your destiny. But it will take a quality decision on
your part to dedicate your life to changing the way you think.
First Thessalonians 5:23 says, "And the very God of peace sanctify
you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved
blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." It is God's will that
your mind, will and emotions be whole, with nothing missing or broken. As a Believer, you can receive a sound mind (2
Timothy 1:7). It is then up to you to enforce and maintain
soundness of mind by keeping your thoughts and imaginations in line with God
and His Word (Isaiah 26:3).
When your mind is focused
and directed by the Word, you will position yourself for success. You'll have wisdom, discernment, insight and the
ability to accomplish anything. A renewed, Word-controlled mind guarantees
abundance and prosperity in every area of your life. Don't let another day go by without a daily dose of
meditation. Set your mind on
the Word of God and let it become the focal point of your life
and purpose!
