'And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.'Romans 12:2 (NKJV)
The world wants to change your mind to keep you from focusing on God, so it exerts pressure from without. But the Holy Spirit changes your mind by releasing power from within. Warren Wiersbe said 'If the world controls your thinking, you are a conformer; if God controls your thinking, you are a transformer.'
There are two ways we can renew our mind; first is by being in God's word. As we spend time meditating on God's Word and memorizing it, we learn more and more about God and we are more in tune to what God wants us to do. Second, would be our prayer life. As we spend time in prayer seeking God's will for our lives, surrendering our body, mind, and spirit to Him the more we will be able to know the will of God in our lives. Not my will, but thy will be done. To have a right relationship with God, we must start the day by yielding to Him our bodies, minds, and wills. Seek God First and everything else falls in place.
