One of the most important subjects in my life is the renewed mind. Jesus never de-emphasized the mind. He intended for the renewed mind to have tremendous influence, so much so that we have been given the mind of Christ! However, what we have in our possession and what we operate out of are two different things.
Thoughts empower the invisible world, and the thought life of a person either enhances faith or undermines it. In 2 Corinthians 10:5, we are instructed to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Through repentance, our mind is renewed. Repentance means “changing the way we think”.
