Change Your Life

What you think and focus your mind upon is important. To change your life requires a change of mind. It is called repentance. That word means a change of mind. You change your mind from your thoughts to God's thoughts. Your mind needs to be renewed.

When you change your thoughts, you change your life by the grace of God. Only the Holy Spirit can make that change in your mind, through faith in Jesus Christ. He changes your heart, which is your mind, will, and emotions.

How do you feed your mind? The world's mental diet is based upon things that lead to doubt, confusion, and fear. A diet of God's thoughts leads to peace of mind. You know God's thoughts through the Bible. Read it. Meditate upon it. Memorize it. Feed your mind upon his word. It is full of life-changing thoughts.

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways My ways, says the LORD."
Isaiah 55:8

"Be not 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
