It’s All in Your Mind

12:27 "ofnd k ,u,1, ~ h,. 11m tJM#l,d: ""1 k ,µ IRuu/t,N,ud /JtJ, llu lllWDUU/, t,/, fJJ'lU- mittd, llud ,µ, IIUll,J ~ [by you] wJud it dud IJ-'U'~ and attqtinlJ.e, mu/. p,4uf, mill o/- fj,Dd." The outcome of presenting your body is a living sacrifice. The outcome of nonconformity and transformation and a renewed mind is the will of God. How do I know the will of God in every avenue of my life every day? By practicing the steps of Romans 12:1,2. but never out oftheir order. Not only will you know the will of God and do it, but also you will enjoy it For the verse not only says, "lhal (J,(JM.L... u,i/1 t,/, ~" but also, "dud lllllP,f.a.l,h.. . wi/1 DI fµ,d." The word acceptable is the term well pleasing. Do you have a renewed mind? No, it will not come overnight or in one day. Have you ever literally, verbally said to the Holy Spirit, "Here is my body"7 Many try to do this mentally, but I believe it has to be done with your whole being. and yes, most importantly with your mouth. Many Christians have done this but they have taken their bodies back and every time we do this to operate in the realm of the flesh we should start over again. God desires to consecrate, but we must be willing to present. And as we continue to do this, we will gradually find that the Holy Spirit is renewing our minds and our lives will be changed practically in action, in conduct, and in word. -42
