GOD CAN BUT THE DEVIL CAN'T HAVE MY MIND!

Romans 12:1-2

King James Version (KJV)

12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

·         Paul shows us through the scriptures that the Romans struggled with an identity crisis. This is a revolving realization in the life of God’s people. We are always battling between the old man and the new man.
·         Many of God’s people are struggling with the WHO, WHAT, WHEN AND WHY of a situation, instead of focusing on the fact that God brought you through.
·         In time God will reveal and make clear to you why you had to endure different trials in your life James 1:3-4 knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience, but let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
·         You must acknowledge that had you not been through all your hardships, you would not be equipped to deal with or handle where you are now.
·         We must renew our minds on a daily basis through the word of God. We must get to a point or stage in life where we disassociate with who we once were and fully embrace who we are in the process of becoming in Jesus!
·         Many people still view you as the old person and are not willing to accept who you are because you have not so long ago departed from the past. But the lord has spoken that He will do a new thing in you and 2 Corinthians 5:17 proclaims that if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
·         You must constantly affirm and then reaffirm who you are in this new season.
·         In this new place you must surround yourself with new people because the old people are too concerned about who you were and are not delivered in their mind regarding your new identity.
·         In this new place God will even provide you with official documentation of your deliverance for the purpose of allowing people (from the past) to see who you have transformed into now!
·         We are always moving, shifting and revolving through God’s transforming word!
·         God uses our circumstances and situations to reveal who He is in our life!
·         There can be no revelation with a situation. The word of God will navigate who you are. When God is not answering you, he’s strengthening you! When God is not felt, just know that he is with you. John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
·         The believer will always go through something because God is always working His will out through your life. You have to go through in order to get to the promises of God! Salvation is a gift, but everything else will take hard work and a pressing in your spirit. Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.Romans 8:38- 39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
·         The enemy can’t kill you because you must be alive in order to see the promises of God!
·         When it’s time for you to come out the fire, God will present you as pure gold.
·         You are created for greatness, but still on the way to greatness!
·         If God pushed start in your life, he will bring your life to an expected end!
·         The living word is the tool that is going to help you through!
·         During the early stages of development gold is not attractive, but gold has to be processed in order to produce it’s real worth and beauty!
·         Most people see you while you’re developing, but God see’s the beginning and the end of a thing! God see’s the whole picture!
·         Praise in your process and allow praise to renew your mind, because the process is part of your journey! No process, no progress!
·         What God said will not turn until him void, if he said it, he will surely bring it to past!
·         Before you were born, the lord knew who you were and who you are going to be!
·         God retains all the rights to your future. Your birthday was not the day you were born, but the day God conceived you in his mind!
·         Walk through the fire with confidence and a renewed mind, professing Job 13:15 though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
·         Remember that God’s purpose is keeping you alive!
·         Everyone in your life has a purpose, hang on until their purpose is revealed. Don’t abort people, prematurely. God desires for you to hold on to them until he allows them to release their purpose in your life! They may be the very one to push you to that next level!!!!!!!
·         In this season, trials and test will get you to that next level! So learn how to conquer where you are in your life.
·         The steps of a good man are ordered by the lord! Every mistake you made was ordained by God, you survived because  you were ordained!

My mind is the place where I interact with God so God renews and transforms my mind to receive Him and His promises! This is why the adversary cannot have the thing that brings everything to pass in me!
