Renew Your Mind With The Word Of Yahweh

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Imagine that you are cleaning up your home, and you are cleaning the kitchen. You wash the dishes, sweep and mop the floor, pick up all the stuff laid on the eating table, and straighten up the curtains. You then go to the living room to clean up. You clean up the living room couches, you vacuum the floor, you put the pillows where they belong, you dust off the plants, and you straighten up the curtains. Then you realize you have a plate that was left in the living room, so you take it to the kitchen. When you get to the kitchen you see that it is once again, a whole mess, like you never cleaned it! All the stuff that you had cleaned was placed back to being dirty. This frustrates you but you clean it again and go back to the living room. Then you find that the living room has also been dirtied back up again after you have just cleaned it not to long ago. What is going on? What is it that is making this problem? Well, the problem is that you’re old ways are still living with you. Even though you are getting up and cleaning your environment, your old ways are going right behind you and dirtying it right back up again. This is why Yahushua our Lord and Savior says to renew your mind by taking in the living word of Yahweh.

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

When the Lord tells us to renew our minds, he is telling us to read his heavenly word. When we read his word and take it in, it gets inside of us and it transforms us into a new person. We are to read, study and meditate on the living word and this is how we renew our minds. Just as much as we watch TV or how we read our favorite book every day. You need to read the Heavenly Father’s holy word every day and absorb it into your mind so it stays with you. This is a good thing because it means that you are actually becoming more like our Lord and Savior, Yahushua. When we become in his likeness, we begin to take on his characteristics. We begin to wear the holy armor, and we remember his salvation. That he died for our sins and was risen again. then we wear the breastplate of righteousness, which means we reflect him out there into the world and we have his characteristics. And so we live, love, and treat others in his likeness. We then wear the belt of truth, this comes from reading, studying and believing in the word. Next the Heavenly Father is our shield of faith and we wear him as our shield. We don’t forget that he is our provider, protector, and our Lord and Savior. He is also our shoes of peace, meaning he gives us peace as we live for him. We also have the sword of the spirit, where we actually use the Lords word by declaring The Heavenly Fathers decrees into our lives and in the world. This is how he makes us new and this is why nothing evil can stand in the Lord’s presence because he is holy and sovereign above all things.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

So it is very important to read the holy word, renew your mind, and to take it in just as much as we do everything else in the world. And we should actually take in the word more than the things of the world, because the word dose not profit as the Heavenly Kingdom dose. The Heavenly Father wants the best for us, and wants us to be successful in our walk with him. He does not want us out into the world, not knowing who he is or how to fight or to know who he is to us. We learn how it is that he protects us from evil and how we can fight against evil by surrendering to the Heavenly Father, renewing our minds, and choosing his his life over our worldly desires.
