Clear Vision ~ Renewing Your Mind II

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ~ Romans 12:2

"So, how do I trade my mind in for Messiah's (Christ) so I can think the way Yahweh (God) does and think His thoughts? Where do I start this process?"

Yahweh's Word tells us that we are to give all diligence to add to our faith. "He that comes to Yah must believe that He exists and that He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Do not forget this. The Key is in diligently seeking Him. Without this faith it is impossible to please Him. We cannot know Yah's thoughts or how He thinks unless we first know Him -know Him intimately- His personality, character and behavior. Not what we think about Him, but what His Word, illumined by His Spirit says about Him. To go back even one step further, we cannot know Yahweh apart from Yeshua(Jesus) His Son. "No one can come to Abba (Father God) except by me (Yeshua/Jesus)." Nor can anyone understand His Word without this birth of his spirit man. "For the natural man does not recieve the things of the Sprit. They are foolishness to them, neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned." "You must be born again."

Again, it is impossible to truly know Yah without knowing His Word - Yeshua, or His Word - the Bible. As we see Him in His Word, and as the Holy Spirit speaks understanding of it to our spirit, we will come to see that He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Faith will come by hearing and hearing by the Word. We will also see Him as Judge of those that don't seek Him. Coming to know Him this way - in all His fullness - will create in us an awesome, holy Fear of the Lord, and the Fear of the Lord is the beginning of both Knowledge - All TRUTH, and Wisdom - seeing things from God's point of view. We will see His ways - not only recorded in His Word, but we will recognize them in our lives and the rest of His Creation around us.

As we daily lay down our presuppositions - any ideas that we had about anything before submitting those thoughts to the Lordship of Yah - we must also lay down our exaltation of any man's thoughts, no matter how many degrees he holds, how honored he is, or even how "godly" he's percieved to be. We must turn away from all other thoughts to be able to see what Yah's thoughts are.

Through diligently seeking Him, through His Word and His Spirit, we are putting on the mind of Messiah. We truly know Yahweh, we know what He thinks about a given topic or area of life. We know, not only His thoughts, but also His way of thinking so well that they are becoming our thoughts and way of thinking. Our minds are being renewed.
