About this sermon

The scripture says in Romans 12, "do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Our salvation on this earth starts in our mind. We're justified in our spirit, but we have to be sanctified in our mind. We have to set our mind apart from the old way of doing and being. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I believe God has got amazing things in 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:44.800 your future. I hope you enjoy this message. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.840 Doing this place you guys down and look amazing. You 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:55.720 may be seated. 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:58.720 I just want to encourage all of us today with 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.960 the scripture that's found in Romans. Romans twelve, and this 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.840 is Paul talking to the Romans, and he's encouraging them 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:10.400 and urging them with great fervor to change their minds 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:16.840 to be more like God. And he says this. He says, 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:22.400 do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.119 by the renewing of your minds. 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:26.960 See, he knew. 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.040 That God wanted to do something in his people, but 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.280 they couldn't keep thinking the old way and have the 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:34.440 new things that God. 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.480 Wants to do. You've heard it said like this. 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:40.280 They couldn't put new wine in old wine skins. They 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.679 had to change their mind. And you know what, that's 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:49.080 the same with us today. We can't be conformed to 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.280 this world's culture. We can't be conformed to the wrong 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:57.240 types of thinking. We have to be transformed by the 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:01.560 renewing of our mind. You see, our salvation on this 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.680 earth starts in our mind. If you're born again today, 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.200 if you've given Jesus your life, you're a new creature 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:14.359 in Christ Jesus. And so your spirit has been made new. 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:19.280 It has come alive in Christ Jesus. The problem is 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.240 our mind needs to catch up with what's going on 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:22.960 in our spirit. 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.280 All right, But we can do that by. 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:30.720 Not conforming to our old thinking, but submitting ourself to 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.960 the word of God, to the teachings of God. You see, 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.760 we are so blessed because we can get the Word 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:42.360 of God at our fingertips. We can google the Word 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:46.200 of God. We can take our phone and get our 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:50.080 Bible apps. We can listen to podcasts. We can turn 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.520 on the internet, we can turn on the TV listen. 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:57.680 We can put our music on our Christian faithful music 0:03:57.960 --> 0:03:59.920 that declares the goodness of God. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.600 We are so blessed. We have to submit and stay. 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:09.280 Under this word of God so that it can change 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.360 our thinking. You see, some people may not have been 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.400 brought up in church. I was brought up in church, 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.799 but you may not be have been so you maybe 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.760 you have some things that are contrary to what God 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:25.080 wants you to think today. 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.120 Some of you have addictions. 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.839 It's contrary to what God has for you today. 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:33.200 You see. 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.479 God is saying, don't be conformed by a habit, don't 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.120 be conformed by an addiction, don't be conformed by the 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.320 cultures of this world, the way this world thinks, but 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.640 be transformed. 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:46.640 By the renewing of your mind. 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:52.720 You have the choice of what you listen to, of 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.239 what you put yourself under. 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:55.680 And God is. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:05:01.880 Saying, renew your mind, change your mind in to what I. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.000 Have for you. You see. 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.080 I talk to people all the time who have an addiction, 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:11.080 and they are struggling to break the addiction. And what 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:15.080 I tell them is just don't stay down, get back up, 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:16.400 put yourself. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:17.200 Under the word of God. 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.800 And those strongholds, those things that are trying to hold 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.039 you back, they can't stand up against the word of God. 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.440 It's only a matter of time before your mind catches 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.359 up with what the spirit is doing. In Ephesians, the 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.400 Bible says, to him who is able to do exceedingly, 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:40.240 abundantly above all we can ask, think or imagine. I 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.080 love that God can do anything. But listen to the 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:48.520 second part. According to the power that works in us. See, 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:52.640 God is saying, when you transform your mind, you line 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.280 your mind up with the power that's in you. See, 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.320 there's power in a made up mind. There's power in 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.680 a mind that says, no, I'm not staying here. I'm 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.159 on my way to greater places. I'm on my way 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.600 to god destination. I'm not gonna be held down by 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.040 always and old patterns of thinking. You see, I think 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.479 about the apostle Paul, and he was so passionate to 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.520 let them know by the mercies of God, by the 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.680 grace of God, this can happen for you. You see, 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:24.440 people they drink drinks to detox their body. Have you 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.240 ever heard somebody say, you know drink this for five 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.760 days and it'll get all the junk out of your body. 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:29.359 You know. 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.520 They say that the stuff we eat, even the water 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.919 we drink, you know, has toxins in it. So people 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.279 want to be healthy, they want to detox their body. Listen, 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.160 when you read the Word of God and put yourself 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:41.560 under the word of God, you're. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:42.919 Detoxing your mind. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:48.760 You're dislodging strongholds, your weakening their grip on you. Listen, 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.000 you're in a battle. You're in a battle, and it's 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.320 time to stand up and fight. It's time to say, 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.599 I'm not gonna let the wrong words come out of 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.800 my mouth. I'm not gonna let my way of thinking 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:08.320 stop me. I've heard people who are fighting illnesses and 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.640 they listen to the Word of God constantly. They've constantly 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.720 got it going. Whether they have the Word of God, 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.200 whether they have a good teaching, whether they have Joel, 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:21.240 whether they have praise, they are constantly bathing and sanctifying 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.560 their mind in the word of God. See, we're justified 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.120 in our spirit, but we have to be sanctified in 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.640 our mind. That means we have to set our mind 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.880 apart from the way of doing and being and we 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.080 have to get in God's way of doing and being. 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.600 You See, if we want to know God's will, We're 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.440 gonna have to know God's way. Now, he was telling them, 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.280 don't be conformed, but be transformed. And he was saying, 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.160 this is a process. Don't get down on yourself. It's 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.160 a process. And then he went on to say this. 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.520 He says, do not be conformed to this world, but 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:01.160 be transformed by the renewing of your mind. That by 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:05.360 testing you may be able to discern the will of 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:09.760 God for your life. What is pleasing, right and acceptable? 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:11.200 How many of you want to know the will of 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:12.920 God for your life. I want to know the will 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.640 of God for my life. I want to know the 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.920 will of God for my life. And God is saying, 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:22.600 through this transformation, through this new way of thinking, you 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.080 can take all these choices and you can put them 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.560 under the scrutiny of what you know. You can test 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.680 it and see shall I make it or shall I not? 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.480 Shall I choose it, or shall I go the other way? See, 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.920 you can put the choices you make every day under 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.839 the scrutiny of the word of God. 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:43.000 See. 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.920 God wants us to walk in confidence before him. He 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.360 wants us to know what his will is so we'll 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.320 know what way to go. It's kind of like taking 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.520 a test. Have you ever gone in when you're in 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.800 school to take a test or for your job. The 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.360 better you knew the material, the more confident you were, 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:02.360 the more answers. 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.719 You got right. It's kind of like that God is. 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:09.200 Saying, this transformation comes little by little, but keep gain 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.920 and knowledge, keep testing your choices. 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.840 By what you know to be right. You know, we make. 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:20.560 Choices every single day, and those choices make us so 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:26.400 it's so important that we put our choices under God's authority. 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:31.280 Now, you know, sometimes we don't want to put. 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:35.360 Every choice under God's authority because some choices we just. 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:40.400 Want they look so good. God, I can fix this 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.480 with you later. Let me go ahead and make this choice, 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.240 you know what. And God knows that. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.240 I mean, we've all been there, We've all done that. 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.240 And the good thing about God he can take our 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.680 bad choices and bring him glory and us good. 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.120 All right, he can. 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.200 He's a good God, and he loves us, and I 0:09:58.240 --> 0:09:59.760 love the fact that he's not judging us. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.480 The point is is that. 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.760 We need to not be afraid to take our attitudes, 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:10.760 our unforgiveness, our habits, everything about us, and put it 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.960 under the submission of God. See Paul was saying, be 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.600 a living sacrifice. Is how he started at be a 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.439 living sacrifice. What he was saying, he was going. 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.560 Go all in, Go all in. 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.520 Don't hold back certain areas of your life. You have 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:29.320 a bad habit, put it under God's authority. Don't hold 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.160 on to it and say, God, I'll fix it. As 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.319 soon as I fix it, then I'll come over here 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:33.760 and give. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:34.079 It to you. 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.439 God is saying, give it all to me, the good, 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.760 the bad, the ugly. Put it under my word. Let 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:44.760 me break those things off of your life. See Jesus 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.720 came as the living Word. The Bible says he came 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:53.400 as the Word made incarnate, man made flesh, and he 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.200 walked among them. And do you know that when you 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.080 read the word of God, you get good teaching. You're 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.000 walking with g Jesus. And he's still doing what he 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.679 did those days in the Bible. He's still healing, he's 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.119 still delivering, he's still setting free, he's still restoring. 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.960 Take his hand and put all of it under his authority. 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.000 We can't be afraid and listen. You know, we have 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.400 big decisions that we have to make in our life. 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.440 I've heard people say, I want to know the will 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.360 of God. Should I take this job, should I start 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.320 this business? Should I go back to college? Is this 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.520 the person I should marry? And those are all very 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.320 important decisions. But we need to put every decision under 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.720 the will of God, because the better choices we make, 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.480 the closer we are to those better decisions on those 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.480 big issues of our life. When I was a young girl, 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.760 I remember my heart. I would just say to God, God, 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.520 when I get married someday, all I know is this, 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.760 I want a man who loves you more than I do. 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.240 You see, my heart said this, God. I don't want 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.160 to be dragging anybody up. I don't want to be 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.439 constantly pushing them up. God, I don't want them to 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:04.000 sharpen me. I want us to be better together. I 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:08.600 want us to do great things for you. Now, girls, 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.520 I just want to tell you this. Don't say this part, 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.600 but this is literally what I said, because if I 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.360 was you, I would find a man with a job. 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:19.600 But I said, I said, God, he doesn't have to 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.200 have a lot of money. 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:22.800 You know what, he didn't have to be rich. 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.880 God, I just want him to love you, because my 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.280 heart was like this, God, you can do anything in 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:28.800 our life. 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.439 If we serve you, we can rise higher. We can 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:32.120 do anything. 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:36.480 But the bottom line is my gold standard is that 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:40.920 he loves you a lot. So when I met Joel, 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.560 he looked good on the outside and back from the outside, 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.720 and he looked like he was perfect. But you know what, 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.440 I didn't want to just judge him from the outside. 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.960 I wanted to judge my who I was gonna marry 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.000 by the word of God. And although he looked good, 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.960 he seemed to have the right credential, you know what, 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:02.000 that wasn't good enough. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.520 I watched him, I studied him. I saw if his 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.359 beliefs lined up with his actions. 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.720 I watched how he treated his family, what he said 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:15.200 about his friends, his generosity towards others. See, I let 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.319 that character line itself up with the word of God. 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:20.600 Then I could make an. 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:25.200 Educated, godly decision. You said, God wants us to be 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.839 confident in our decisions. As our minds are gaining more 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.360 knowledge and being transformed, then we can test our choices 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.199 and make the right decisions. Well, I had the peace 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:39.160 of God. He asked me to marry, so I did. 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:44.240 Thirty years later. It's been a wonderful decision. It's been 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:51.520 a great decision. Can I tell you girls, don't judge 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:55.520 from the outside, make sure their character lines up. You're 0:13:55.720 --> 0:14:00.760 far too valuable to get together with someone who doesn't 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.839 appreciate you and know how to bring out the best 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.760 in you, who doesn't serve the living God. 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.079 You see, I made my decision. 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.520 I'd rather be home with a peanut butter and jelly 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.280 sanwich than with a man that wasn't good enough for 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:14.959 me and God. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.200 All right, it's not worth it. 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.080 Every decision you make, use the word of God as 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:29.000 your goal standard. Keep conforming to God's word in his likeness. 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.680 Don't conform to the world, don't conform to habits. You 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:35.880 may be fighting something right now, and I just want 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.880 to encourage you to get yourself, submit yourself under the 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.360 word of God. Don't let anything come out of your 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.520 mouth that doesn't line up with what you want. Listen, 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.200 when you're in a fight, you got to fight to 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.840 the end. You got to be serious about where you're going. 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:55.680 God's work will renew you, strengthen you, and refresh you. 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.720 It'll detox all those old ways and I'll bring you 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.280 into the new ways of God.
