1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Yesterday we looked at being transformed by the renewing of our minds and that's the key to winning the battle of our minds by letting them be renewed by God, not struggling to do it ourselves by sheer willpower which we all know doesn't work!
God wants us to win and He's told us He's already defeated our enemy before we begin so we can come from a position of victory, not trying to win, but having already won because of Jesus. Maybe that's one of the areas we might need to let God 'rethink' our thinking! He says we are Over-comers and He wants us to 'see' and think of ourselves that way, not to think we're defeated or victims, but Victors through Jesus.
Although the enemy can put thoughts in our minds he can't control us unless we 'take' his thoughts and accept them as truth. We have a choice - to accept the enemy's thoughts which are lies, or to accept God's thoughts which are His promises in His word. Satan deceived Eve by misquoting God and giving her a new thought which God didn't give her. She accepted the lie and we know where that led!
Today let's keep reminding ourselves that God is for us not against us. He's transforming us in those areas where we might have a defeated "I can't" mindset by giving us His victory - His "I can" mind set.
I know it's not easy because we have to keep choosing to think God's thoughts but when we approach a battle from the standpoint of having already got the victory it's going to be easier to win! Let's believe God and be transformed.😊
Romans 8:37 Yes in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
