We’ve been teaching on the subject of “*RENEWING THE MIND*” and we’re going to pick up we left off last time.
*I) **(Romans 8:6)* says, *“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”*
*A) *The *“CARNALLY MINDED PERSON”* is a person that keeps their mind on *“EARTHLY OR FLESHLY THINGS.”*
*1) *And as the *King James* translation *puts it*, *it leads to death*, *bondage* and *defeat*.
*2) *But *the spiritually minded person* is the person that *keeps their mind on spiritual things*.
*a) *Jesus said in (*John 6:63*) that *his word*, which is the *Word of God*, *is spirit* and life.
*b) **When* we *keep** our mind* on *the Word* of God it will *produce* *peace and life*.
*(i) *Which means *it will produce life in the fullest sense*, *the abundant life*; which brings *with* it *all* the *promises of God* *and* *victory*.
*c) *The *spiritually minded person* is someone that *always agrees with the Word* of God, *but goes one-step further* than that.
*(i) *A *spiritually minded person* is someone that *agrees that whatever God says to do is the very best way* and so *they are also doers of the Word*.
*B) *We also *said* *last time* that *when you receive* *Jesus* as your Lord and Saviour you are *recreated on the inside*.
*1) *(*2nd Corinthians 5:17*) says*, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”*
*a) *This is *talking about* *the spirit* man, which has been *recreated* *and* his *brand-new*, *but* your *body and mind* *haven’t changed*.
*2) *In (*Hebrews 10:39*) it *says* that *believing is able to save your soul*.
*a) **Your soul** is your* *will*, your *emotions* and your *intellect*.
*b) **Faith or believing* as (Hebrews 10:39) says, *is only based on the Word** of God.*
*(i) **That means* that *God’s Word and faith in his Word* *is able to save your soul*.
*c) *(*1 Peter 1:9*) *tells us* that *the end result of faith* *is the saving of your soul*.
*(i) **Again* *faith comes from the Word* of God.
*(ii) **The Word* of God *and* *faith* in his Word *bring salvation to your soul** *or mind.
*C) *Turn to *James 1:21*.
*1) **The engrafted Word* of course *is* *the Word of God*, and it is able to *bring salvation** to your soul*.
*a) **Salvation refers to the promises of God*.
*Before* you *ever receive God’s promises* a regular basis *you’re going to have to be able to stand in faith*.
But in order *for you to stand in faith* *your mind must be renewed* to God’s Word.
*b) *Our *first step in receiving victory* our lives *begins with us getting our minds renewed* to the Word of God.
*II) *Turn to *Hosea 4:6.*
*A) *In this verse *he says*, *“My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.”*
*1) *A *lack of knowledge* *of the Word* of God *is going to bring destruction and bondage*.
*2) *But just the *opposite** is true also*.
*Jesus said* in *(John 8:32**)*, *“Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”*
*a) *In the word *“FREE”* in that verse where Jesus said, *“The truth shall make you free”* literally *means*, *“FREE FROM THE DOMINION OF SIN**.”*
*b) *The *problems* that *we face** in this world* are a *direct result of sin* that has been *unleashed* in the world *by Satan*, *beginning* all the way back to *Adam*.
*(i) *I’m *not* necessarily *talking about sins you committed*, *but* the *sins in the world*.
*And* those *sins bring bondage*.
*(ii) **Jesus said, “Ye shall know the truth* (*the Word* of God) *and the truth shall make you free* *from the dominion or authority of sin**.”*
*c) **No longer** do we have to be subject to the bondages that are in this world* *because** we are no longer under its authority*.
*(i) **If we have the Word* of God *in** our hearts* *and* *our minds are renewed to God’s Word* *we’re free from sins dominion* *and* *can walk in the blessings** of God*.
*B) **Your soul* (your *mind*, *emotions*, and *will*) *is the key to success* in your Christian life.
*1) **If* your *soul is poor*, *your whole life will be poor*.
*But* *if your soul is prosperous*, *your whole life will prosper*.
*a) **A prosperous soul* *is someone* that *has* *their mind* *renewed to the Word* of God.
*2) *Turn with me to *Romans 12:2.*
*a) *In this verse he tells us, *“Be not conformed this world.”*
*(i) *According to my *Strong’s concordance* the Word *“CONFORMED”* *means*, *“To conform one’s self* (*one’s mind and character*) *to another pattern*.
*(ii) **Paul** is telling us very clearly* here *that we are not to be thinking as the world thinks*.
*b) *Let me ask you this *how does the world thinks?*
*(i) **1st* of all it’s *mostly self-centered*, but it’s *also* *filled with negativism*, *bitterness*, *hatred*, *envy*, *strife*, *jealousy*, and *lusts*.
*3) *Paul says *we are not to think along those lines*.
As we said before that *thinking as the world thinks will bring bondage and defeat*.
*a) *In this verse *Paul says* *there has to be* *“a TRANSFORMATION or CHANGE.”*
*BUT HOW?*
*b) *And that change *only come by, “RENEWING OUR MINDS TO THE WORD OF GOD.”*
*C) *Let me give you some *characteristics of the unrenewed mind*.
*1) **No.
1*.
The *lack of knowledge of the Word* of God.
*a) *(*Hosea 4:6*) says*, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”*
*2) **No.
2*.
*They are controlled by the desires of the flesh*, *like* *money*, *food*, *sex*, *power*, *and so on*.
*a) *Paul said*, “For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh.”*
(Romans 8:5)
*3) **No.
3*.
*They are* *weak and indecisive* *about doing the Will of God*; *they choose things contrary to Will of God*.
*4) **No.
4*.
*They’re undisciplined in their mind* *and* *fantasize on godly things*.
*5) **No.
5*.
*They refuse to change* *and* *seek only to prove themselves right* *or* *defending themselves*.
*a) *The *Bible teaches us in Proverbs* that *a wise man will receive correction* *and* *become even wiser because of it*.
*6) **No.
6*.
They are *more concerned with things of this earth* *then the things of heaven*.
*a) *(*Colossians 3:2*) says, *“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”*
The Word *“AFFECTION”* in this verse is *better-translated* *“MIND.”
“SET YOUR MIND ON THINGS ABOVE AND NOT ON THE EARTH.”*
*7) **No.
7*.
*The unrenewed mind* *allows* their *emotions* *and* *feelings* *to decide how the act*, *rather than God’s Word*.
*a) *(*2nd Corinthians 5:7*) says*, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”*
*8) *And *No.
8* the *unrenewed mind continues* *to worry*, *fear* *and* *think on negative things*.
*D) **According to* *3rd John 2* *the blessings of God* *in your life* *are based on the prosperity of your soul*.
*1) **If your soul is poor*, *it’ll affect every area of your life*; your *family*, *business*, *faith*, *health*, *finances* *and so on*.
*E) *But *on the other hand* *a prosperous soul* or *the renewed mind* *also* *portrays characteristics*.
*1) **No.
1*.
The *renewed mind* is a mind *is ready to repent* *or* *change any thought* *at any time* *according to Word* of God.
*2) **No.
2* the *renewed mind* *will follow* the *leading of the Holy Spirit*, and *not the flesh**.*
*a) **(Romans 8:5)* says, *“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.”*
*3) **No.
3*.
*A prosperous soul* is a person who *meditates on God’s Word regularly*.
*a) *(*Psalms 1:2*) says, *“But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”*
*4) **No.
4*.
The *renewed mind* *will think on positive things* *with* *no worry*, *fear*, or *negativity*.
*5) **No.
5*.
*He will also do God’s will*, no matter the cost.
*6) *And *No.
6* *their emotions and feelings* *are disciplined** to follow* after *the Word* of God *and not what they feel like at that time*.
*F) *As *John said* *you’ll prosper even as your soul prospers*.
*1) *Let’s look at that verse *3 John 2.*
*a) *But *John didn’t end there* in talking about the prosperous soul or the renewed mind.
*b) *Look at *verse 3 and 4.*
*(i) **John brings out* *that the prosperous soul* *not only has the truth in them* *but they also walk in the truth* *and* *live it**.*
