Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

Salvation gives us access to the mind of Christ. By revelation from Holy Spirit, we are given access to the will and heart of our Father. When we know God’s will and trust Him enough to have Holy Spirit guided actions, we will see His precious promises manifested in our lives. To prevent making the wrong choices, we can check our thoughts against the Word. “Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself”

Thinking Right to See Promises in My Life

Before we gave our hearts to Christ, our thinking was influenced by the world. Now that we belong to God, Holy Spirit gives unto us God’s thoughts. According to 1 Corinthians 2:16, we have been given the mind of Christ! This means we have access to God’s counsel, thoughts, and feelings.

1 Corinthians 2:16 AMPC For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.

Although we have been given the mind of Christ, we still decide which thoughts we allow to dominate our minds and influence our decisions. For example, when we are faced with trials in life, Holy Spirit will provide us with God’s thoughts concerning the matter but our mind may also provide us with a worldly perspective. This worldly perspective is a way of thinking that has not yet been renewed by God’s Word. The way of thinking that you give the most attention to will have an impact on the choices you make. My prayer is that you will reject the worldly way of thinking and give more attention to God’s Word and benefit by obtaining His precious promises.

Philippians 4:8 AMP Finally, [a]believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].

Prayer for the Journey

God, thank you for your Word. It is by your Word that my mind is renewed. Help me to accept your way of thinking and reject any worldly thought that arises in my mind. I know that when I think in alignment with Christ, I will see your purposes and plans fulfilled in my life. Lord, today I fix my thoughts on the hope found in your Word. In Jesus Name, Amen!

Wrong Thoughts, Wrong Destination

The most important thing one can do in life is give their heart to Christ. The second most important thing one can do in life is allow Holy Spirit to renew their mind. Without a renewal of the mind, one can be saved and continue in the same bad habits he/she had when they were unsaved.

To renew your mind is to exchange your thoughts for God’s thoughts.

1 Corinthians 2:11-12 NLT 11 No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. 12 And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.

Through life experiences, a way of thinking is developed and shapes our reactions. God has given us the ability to rewire our thought life by meditation on His Word.

Ephesians 4: 21-23 NLT 21 Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, 22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.

A transformed mind thinks in line with Christ. When we accepted Christ, we were given the gift of Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit delivers to us the thoughts and purposes of God (paraphrased - 1 Corinthians 2:16). When thoughts arise that do not align with God’s perfect will, we should reject that thought and accept the Christ-centered thought. As we continue to reject the repetitive thoughts that do not align with God’s will and receive Christ’s way of thinking, a new pathway of thinking will develop and automatically produce a Christ-centered thought life.

A victorious life is one that is yielded in thought to Christ.

Prayer for the Journey

Father, I realize wrong thoughts can produce wrong reactions that will eventually lead me to the wrong destination. I must reach every destiny you have planned for me. I will not lean to my understanding but in all my ways I will acknowledge you, and you will direct my path (paraphrased Proverbs 3:5-6)

In Jesus Name, Amen
