The Mind
The Renewed Mind By Kevin Hussey
Once we realise who we are we then have the new information to be able to find out what it is that have been put on the earth for. For God wants to work through you and me not any imitation or any other person than your true self. So now that you have seen through the previous article “What Are You Like? That a lot of the actions that you do are sometimes not the right thing to do but are just preconceived ideas that have been put there by others. There comes a time in your life or maybe more than one time, you start to think about if things could be better or if they will be better somewhere out in the future. Well the good thing is there is a solution to your identity which you may have not considered before. That thought pattern goes back right to the creation moment when God created human beings to be in the likeness and the image of Himself. And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth. And God made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them. So what a thought right at the beginning we were meant to be creative, not just in our early years but also in our entire life span. For it is the renewing that brings strength;
Isaiah 40:31 says; But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness. What it takes is for us to listen to Him and there are many ways in which we can do that through our worship of Him. Of course if you do not have a relationship with Him then you won’t understand Him, so the first thing is to ask Him to come into relationship with Him as this will then start to produce the correct fruit from the branch. Which by the way is a metaphor to living in the right relationship with Him. The vine (Jesus) being the source of supply from which the branch (us) gets it’s nourishment. In other words we are the branches in which the supply from the roots and the vine pass through to produce fruit. You see it is not by achieving by our own strengths that we get the best results. We can see that through the western world by its continuing pursuit of result driven mind set. No we never feel totally fulfilled that way all that seems to happen is that we just need something else. What we need today is a new attitude to what happens when we approach things with a clean heart or as I should
Say a new approach to the way that we think. Psalm 51:10 says; Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me. By being in the spirit helps when a renewed mind is being created as it is when we are open to change we see the most effective change. Also coming into agreement with something opens up the window of opportunity to have a transformed life. So as it says in Phil 2:2; Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind. The Next Step is living
