Feed your mind with the Word.

“And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
Ephesians 4:23-24(KJV)

Today from our opening scripture, we see that if your mind is renewed, you will be able to put on the new man, in other words, your spirit man would be able to dominate your body. It is then you will be able to say no, to the wrong desires and passions of your body.

Renewing your mind is very important because, what you think about, is what is going to determine what you desire. So, if you change your thoughts, before long, your desires will change.

For instance, there are some persons who began to live an immoral life, after they began exposing themselves to sexually explicit materials. Therefore, those wrong information they fed their mind with, negatively programmed their thoughts, causing them to have the wrong desires, which makes them vulnerable to sin and other uncleanness.

Therefore, we see that the struggles many have in their lives, is because of their thoughts. So, if you will begin to introduce the Word of God to your mind, by  reading, listening to messages, and meditating on the Word, it will renew your mind, and you will find out that you will begin to grow spiritually, and your desires will be in line with the Word. That's how to put off the old man with its deceitful lusts.

Prayer.
 Dear Father I thank you because your grace is sufficient for me and your strength is perfected in me above every weakness, in Jesus Name. Amen.

For further study read:
Proverbs 11:23, Proverbs 12:5, Proverbs 24:9, Psalm 119:15, Isaiah 55:7, Jeremiah 4:14.

Doing the Word.
Consciously turn away from wrong thinking.
