What an epiphany! I kept that verse my whole life: (Romans 12:2) “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
This is so true :-) Romans 12:1-2 This helped me a lot last summer, it made me realise that truly only with the word of God dwelling richly in us can we have our mind renewed and therefore to why pleases him:-) Am so blessed by this :-) God bless you Pastor John
What am I doing God ? Like over these last summer months and autumn... God what am i doing ? Why am i doing what am doing? 😢 Bring me back Father I cant do it alone i just keep failing you and myself in all aspects
I came to realise the best thing in my life has to be God's presence and my trust in Him. I tried to picture next 50 years and I realised what would matter the most in an eternal view is my salvation in Christ and the relationship I have with Him
Our minds and decisions transformed into that of Christ’s. Thank you pastor John 1 Corinthians 2:16 [16] “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. Philippians 2:5 [5] Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
That’s exactly my battle. Soooo many decisions, options and it’s overwhelming. What to buy, where to live, when to go? Just have to keep moving forward. There is no perfect decision. Just make a decision and do it! That’s what im learning.
Many are the plans in a man's heart but the Lord establishes his steps. Surrender your decisions in prayer and wait for God. You'll find peace in your decisions.
You got it wrong!!!. God needs to renew your mind then you would be empowered to make decisions that align with God's will. At that point, you won't even struggle with decisions because you already think like Christ. Without a renewed mind that is submitted to Christ, you will fall into the Proverbs 14:12 trap(please read it). Random decisions based on logic and flesh will eventually lead you into trouble.
A transformed mind… love this Romans 12:2 [2] Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you You cannot think how long I was waiting for this enlightenment. GOD, Jesus Christ & Holy Spirit may answer what to do but you need a spiritual level to do that .. where They may be willing to answer these micro questions whereas renewal of mind is for everyone who opts for it and it's an easy access!
This reminds us that not all of The church Teachings and the things we need to know is from the Bible, it’s from God. The Bible is a tool of God, not his toolbox
You put Jesus Christ first in all your decisions.. base your life off of the commandments and the beatitudes and also have Jesus christ in your heart for real..😪🙌🙏✝️👑💯🕊♥️
@satoshinakamono I pray you encounter the ressurected JESUS. He is alive. He is coming back soon. But before believe in him and seek him. You ll come in your heart then you ll know him.
Here's how John Newton put it: But how then may the Lord’s guidance be expected? After what has been premised negatively, the question may be answered in a few words. In general, he guides and directs his people by affording them, in answer to prayer, the light of his Holy Spirit, which enables them to understand and to love the Scriptures. The Word of God is not to be used as a lottery; nor is it designed to instruct us by shreds and scraps, which, detached from their proper places, have no determinate import; but it is to furnish us with just principles, right apprehensions to regulate our judgments and affections, and thereby to influence and direct our conduct. They who study the Scriptures in an humble dependence upon divine teaching are convinced of their own weakness, and are taught to make a true estimate of everything around them, are gradually formed into a spirit of submission to the will of God, discover the nature and duties of their several situations and relations in life, and the snares and temptations to which they are exposed. The Word of God dwells richly in them, is a preservative from error, a light to their feet, and a spring of strength and consolation. By treasuring up the doctrines, precepts, promises, examples, and exhortations of Scripture in their minds, and daily comparing themselves with the rule by which they walk, they grow into an habitual frame of spiritual wisdom, and acquire a gracious taste, which enables them to judge of right and wrong with a degree of readiness and certainty, as a musical ear judges of sounds. And they are seldom mistaken, because they are influenced by the love of Christ, which rules in their hearts, and a regard to the glory of God, which is the great object they have in view. In particular cases, the Lord opens and shuts for them, breaks down walls of difficulty which obstruct their path, or hedges up their way with thorns, when they are in danger of going wrong, by the dispensations of his providence [i.e., by his providential ordering of their circumstances]. They know that their concernments [i.e., concerns] are in his hands; they are willing to follow whither and when he leads; but are afraid of going before him. Therefore they are not impatient: because they believe, they will not make haste, but wait daily upon him in prayer; especially when they find their hearts most engaged in any purpose or pursuit, they are most jealous of being deceived by appearances, and dare not move farther or faster than they can perceive his light shining upon their paths. I express at least their desire, if not their attainment: thus they would be. And though there are seasons when faith languishes, and self too much prevails, this is their general disposition; and the Lord, whom they serve, does not disappoint their expectations. He leads them by a right way, preserves them from a thousand snares, and satisfies them that he is and will be their guide even unto death.
This is TOTALLY correct.... and only one third of the equation. God's not dead. He didn't only leave His Word, He also left His Spirit and tore the temple curtain from top to bottom, granting us access to the Father and authority on this earth only by the blood of the Beloved Son. If our only venture into Christianity is via the scriptures, we're missing out on a lot of what it means to follow Christ.
You learn to wait on the Lord. In patient prayer, you learn to hear God's voice in his direction. I don't believe it is biblical to even separate ourselves from God. Why would you want to me personally? I rather remain on my knees. Praying begging God to teach me to hear your voice. Further, that is the intimate relationship. I want with my God. Yes, renew me that I hate sin. But not renew me that I become separate from you and make my own decisions because they are gon to be good decisions. Now I'm a Christian. Not me sorry.I'm not hanging on to my god my lord and savior I want to grow more and more closer to him
The Holy Spirit was sent as our helper, for the purpose of discernment and conviction. We must be renewed and filled with the Holy Spirit.
Yes plus Romans 12:2 it says be transformed by the renewing of the mind so that you can know the will of God

That’s it.

Amen and when we sin.. because we do (but we don’t practice sin) we confess it, and he forgives us and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.1 John 1:9
What am I doing God ? Like over these last summer months and autumn...
God what am i doing ? Why am i doing what am doing? 😢

Both of you will get through whatever you’re going through! Just trust in Jesus to give you the strength to overcome whatever you’re going through ❤

Our minds and decisions transformed into that of Christ’s. Thank you pastor John
1 Corinthians 2:16
[16] “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
Philippians 2:5

Let the Holy Spirit lead you. ❤
Every single day bro, I get decision fatigue but this was somewhat helpful to be honest. Hope the best for you.
It was hard for me to understand what he was trying to say until I read the comments. Thank you for pointing out the truth to me
Many are the plans in a man's heart but the Lord establishes his steps. Surrender your decisions in prayer and wait for God. You'll find peace in your decisions.

To be able to know that the words really do make an impact in our lives, just as the Christ intended.
Yes! And the amazing things that happen when we do! ✨🤍🕊️
Powerful. God Bless Brother.
THANK YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST WE PLEAD, RENEW OUR MINDS LET IT BE TRANSFORMED TO THE PERFECT STATURE OF YOUR AWESOME WILL✨🔥🙂↔️🙏

Romans 12:2

Amen!!! The Lord is so good!! He does it all for us!! Love you guys and see you all in the Throne Room of God!!!
God's Word does tell us who to marry and how to treat our wives. Where to pray for discernment. God bless.
The Bible tells us what type of person to marry??? That can be seen in ten people but the question is who do you choose
This is simply beautiful ❤

Loving this ❤
Amen. You will know them by their fruits
perfect 🤩
Think with the mind of Christ. Indeed..
This leads to: “I’m not wrong, you’re just not thinking like Christ would, and I am.” Which is a dangerous thing for people to believe.
Someone who would say this obviously doesn't think like Christ
The spirit leads us. My jesus can
Jesus is dead. Why don't you say "God" instead of Jesus.
@satoshinakamono I pray you encounter the ressurected JESUS. He is alive. He is coming back soon. But before believe in him and seek him. You ll come in your heart then you ll know him.
