The Biblical Secret Of Mind Changing

Tuesday, February 16, 2021

We tend to think of our minds as a set thing. But the Bible says differently. One of the words for the mind in the New Testament Greek is the word Phron-ay-mah. It's used in the New Testament for mind, but it also means inclination and purpose. In other words, you're not stuck with your mind. Rather, what you purpose and incline your mind to - your mind will become. The biblical word for repentance is metanoia. Metanoia literally means to change your mind. Physically, you are what you eat. But spiritually you are what you think, what you dwell on, what you delight and set your heart on. If you think negative thoughts, you'll become a negative person. If you think fearful thoughts, you'll become a fearful person, selfish thoughts, and you'll be a selfish person. But, on the contrary, if you choose to think godly thoughts, loving thoughts, heavenly thoughts, joyful thoughts, thoughts of encouragement... you'll become godly, loving, heavenly, joyful, and encouraged. Start training your mind to dwell on the good. And you'll actually change your mind.
