Let me know what you think!

Have you ever felt like you can’t control your thoughts? Or like you’ve lost your mind?

Today, I will affirm three truths about the mind of a believer.

God can renew your mind when your thoughts feel completely out of control.

2 Cor. 5:17 says “If anyone belongs to Christ, there is a new creation." God wants to change our thinking. To do that, we have to replace the lie with God’s truth.

Let’s look at three truths about the mind of a believer.

The first truth is that God gives each believer a sound mind.

2 Pet. 1:3 says, “His divine power has given us everything (not nearly everything) we need for a godly life.” God is NOT holding out on us.

The second truth is that satan – the enemy - wants to destroy our sound mind with his lies.

We can renew our minds by God’s Word. When I felt abandoned, in Christ, I learned I am accepted. I felt belittled, now in Christ, I know I am secure – I am established, sealed by God. I fel shamed, and unwanted, now in Christ, I am significant – I have been chosen, appointed to bear fruit. Download the In Christ I Am list in the show notes.

The third truth about the mind of a believer is – we have a choice about what we allow into our mind.

When you and I bring our emotional pain to God, God listens. Vulnerability is hard when we are hurting, unless we fully trust the One that we cry out to. “In the day of my trouble, I will call upon You, for You will answer me.” (Psalm 83) David had absolute confidence in God, that God would provide for him in his need. This is not about mind control. It’s about replacing lies, deceptive thoughts with God’s truth.

Remember, these three truths about the mind of the believer:

First, God gives each believer a sound mind.

Second, the enemy wants to destroy our sound mind with his lies.

Third, we have a choice about what we allow in our minds.[vi]

I encourage you this week – you can replace any lie or toxic thought with God’s word. God wants your mind to be renewed even more than you do. You can be renewed in your mind as in Christ, we experience the peace that comes from a renewed mind.
