DANGERS OF AN UNRENEWED MIND

Dangers of the unrenewed mind

ROMANS 12:1 Do not be conformed to the world but be transformed by the renewing of the mind.....

1. Unrenewed mind thinks opposite of what your renewed spirit knows to be the Word and will of God.

2. Your unrenewed mind attempts to pull your renewed spirit away from agreement with the Word and Spirit of God and entice it, even overwhelm it, into agreement with itself.

3. At the point your unrenewed mind accomplishes this, your mind has dominated your renewed spirit.

As such, the following becomes the case.There is now a total division (doubt) in this manner; your unrenewed mind and recreated spirit are lined up as partners in agreement. They stand against the Word and Spirit of God.

1. The result is this; your unrenewed mind has dominated your spirit so that inside your being there is a total division of two against two. Your renegade mind and spirit are divided against the Word and Spirit of God.

2. The tragedy here is this; when this two by two division occurs, your mouth will speak into existence the things your unrenewed mind thinks which is just more of what is already in your circumstances and environment.

Then the four things (the Word and Spirit of God, your spirit and mind) are not lined up. There is a division, two by two. Your spirit becomes separated and lines up with your unrenewed mind because the mind has overpowered your recreated spirit and dictates to it. The Word of God and the Holy Ghost are saying one thing, and your unrenewed mind, which has drawn your spirit away from those two, is saying something else.

When this occurs, you are going to speak the opposite of what the Word of God says. For Jesus says, you have to "say to" your fig tree or mountain based on the revealed Will of God.

So, when I am speaking the Word of God, it shows that my mind has been renewed and is so laced with Scripture that my mind is lined up with my spirit, the Spirit of God, and the Word of God to the point where my mouth is dominated and controlled by these four. When all four are in harmony, my mouth will "say" the things of God.
