September 24, 2024 – We Need Our Minds Renewed by Christ
2 Corinthians 4:3-5
Sermon: 1373 How to Have Mastery Over Your Mind
Pray Over This
“But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.”
2 Corinthians 4:3-5
Ponder This
The relationship of mind and brain is like the relationship between a pianist and a piano. The piano is the brain. The pianist is the mind that uses the brain. The person who plays the piano makes a big difference as to what comes out of it. The most dangerous thing in the world is a man with a bad mind and a good brain. He is a clever devil. When you get saved, you don’t get a new brain. You get a new mind.
The god of this world has blinded the minds of those who believe not. When the devil attacks, he doesn’t hurt your intelligence. What he does is distort your mind. He blinds your mind. Proverbs 4:23 says: “Keep your heart with all diligence.” The word heart in this verse does not mean the organ that pumps the blood; it means the center of your thought life. “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” We need to have our minds renewed by Christ. When we allow Him to change our mindsets, He will use the brains He has given us and show us how to serve and live with Him.
- How can your mind be renewed by Christ?
- How are you seeking for your mind to be renewed by Christ?
Practice This
Pray and ask God to renew your mind using the words of Romans 12:1-2.
