Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes. Romans 12:2 TPT

If you wake up each morning wishing things would change but are unwilling to make the slightest deviation in your direction, I can guarantee you’ll end up in the same place again tomorrow. Wishing never changes a thing. But changing your mindset and actions do.

Paul spoke a truth into us in this verse. “Be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think.”

If we continue to think like the world, nothing will change. If we allow the Holy Spirit to change our thinking, to show us how God sees things and begin thinking correctly, things will change.

It will empower you to discern God’s leading and trust in Him instead of yourself or the world. This world is not your home. Don’t get comfortable here. Set your mind on who God is. Nothing is impossible for Him. Stop allowing the world to diminish His abilities.

He is your healer. He is your provider. He’s your refuge. He is your protection. Stop trusting in this world and trust in Him. If you’re not able to, then you don’t really know God.

Stop trying to study the next cure, the next weight loss program, or the next get rich scheme. Start reading the Word and thinking as Jesus did. He’s your Father, too. Get to know Him.

Allow for a relationship with the Holy Spirit to lead you into truth and trust. Surrender your worldly programmed mind and ask Him to show you the truth. It’s the only way to live free.
