Today we are examining the importance of Renewing our minds according to the teachings of the Scripture. Unless a Christian learns to renew their mind, they will continue to walk in defeat, struggle, and confusion, as they desire to experience a Spirit-led life yet, have no understanding of how or tools with which to see that life manifest.
Last week we looked into the Mind renewal building blocks of Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge. What are the highlights that you remember?

Conclusion
This is the predicament of most believers who live lives of religious obedience and obligation yet void of any real Spirit-led power. Without renewing your mind, the only two options are to wait, hope, and beg God to change you or to work, sweat, and strive on your own to achieve the results you so long to experience. Neither is God’s best.
