Wisdom from Above
By Dr. Betty Price


What’s on Your Mind?

Setting your mind on things above means setting your mind on the things of God, and you find out about the things of God from His Word.  You have to take control of your mind and make it do what it should do by a determination of your will. Your will is in the mind area.

Romans 12:1-2 tells us what to do with our minds and with our flesh.

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

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

I know we can renew our minds, but we have to be forever thinking about God and His great love for mankind. Because if you don’t, you will think more in line with the world than with the things of God.  You have to understand that the body wants to gratify the flesh. You have to train your body, make it do what your spirit wants, kill it, sacrifice it.  And sacrifice is not fun, but it is the joy of the Lord you want!

Ephesians 4:21-24 says:

If indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness.

It is our responsibility to do something about our minds.
