God shows you that He’s going to transform you. Consider these Scriptures:

• “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.” Romans 12:2
• “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:6

You were born again by believing God. You accepted Christ as your personal Lord and Savior from sin. The moment you were born again, you became a new creation. Your spirit was joined to God’s Spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:17  says, “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” You are a three-part being, spirit, soul or mind, and body. Your spirit is redeemed. In your spirit, you are seated in heavenly places. Now, the battle is for your mind. Satan wants it. You must choose.

• “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
• “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
• “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” 1 John 3:1-2

Ask God to answer these questions.

1. What does it mean for you to be born again?
2. What’s the difference between you being born again and being transformed into the image and likeness of Christ?
3. What is a new creation in Christ?
4. What does it mean that your spirit is joined with God’s Spirit?
5. Why does Satan want your mind?

Bonus questions:

1. What does it mean for you to be called a son of God?
2. What does it mean for you to be transformed by the renewing of your mind?
3. What is the difference between you being born again and growing to maturity in Christ?
4. What does it mean that you are seated in heavenly places with Christ?
5. Since the renewing of your mind is in passive voice, Who is renewing your mind and how?

1. Pray for the Lord to protect you and keep you in His presence and His presence only.
2. Direct your mind toward the Lord only.
3. Ask God what He want’s to talk about.
4. You can ask God any questions. In all of this, be led by the Holy Spirit. God promises that He will answer you if you ask Him.
5. Do not edit or change what God says even if you don’t understand it.
6. Reject the lies and receive the truth.
7. Take notes.
8. Transfer your notes to your journal without editing what God said to you.

Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.

Learn to stand in God’s presence and hear His voice. Then teach others to do the same.
