UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF INTERNAL CHANGE



Where the mind goes the man goes.

How you think determines where you go and what happens in your life. Your way of thinking determines what you do or don't do. It is your way of thinking that governs the output of your life. And Satan’s strategy is to influence people's thinking.


Different mindset

You will either have a mindset of the Word or a mindset of the world. A word-mindset is a mindset that is set by God's Word. A worldly mindset is a mindset that is set by the world.
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."

There is a way God wants us to think. He wants our thinking to be consistent with his word. And this can only happen through the process called RENEWING THE MIND. Through this process we are able to change our thinking patterns and put on a new mindset that perfectly lines up with God's word.

Renewing the mind is letting the word change your thinking. And this has to be a lifestyle if you want you to stay victorious over life's battles.

Walking in the word

"For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." Romans 8:5-6

Walking in the spirit is walking in the Word. Waking in the flesh is contradicting or disregarding the word.
The world will do everything to make you think in a certain way. You will have to set your mind by the word and keep it set. The enemy's goal is to get you conformed to this world. So he can gain inroads into your life. The devil moves in the realm of thought.

Thought creates actions

New actions won't change your thinking. But new thinking will change old actions.
Like the law of cause and effect. Our thoughts are causes, our conditions are effects. Thoughts are powerful creative forces. Thoughts are the cause of our decision and action. You will always behave the way you think.  Because what you think determines what you do. The way you think creates your world. That's why Satan seeks to influence people's mind. Meanwhile, God has given us the material for renewing our mind. So we can create the life that he has designed for us.

Secret of change

If you don't overcome your difficulties or challenges first in your thought you can't overcome them in actual experience.
The world is divided into two classes. 1. Those who overcome life. 2. Those that are overcome by life. Those who overcome life's difficulties, do so in thought. Those who are overcome by life's difficulties are those who do not overcome in thought.
Let's look at what the scripture says in 1 John 5:4 “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."

When the word of God becomes established in your thinking your life becomes unstoppable. When you start thinking in line with whom God says you are, your life become unbeatable
. The transformation you are looking for in your life will occur if you will let Gods word to first transform your mind. Changes your inside first and your life will be metamorphosed. What transform your life are not the things you have. What transform your life are not even the things you do. What transforms your life is the renewing of your mind through constant fellowship with the word and the spirit of God.
