Ephesians 4:23 (Amplified Bible) And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude],
When you got saved, it was your spirit that got born again. Your spirit was made alive in Christ Jesus. Your soul and your body are still susceptible to the corruption in and of the world. If you are ever going to have victory in your physical life over sin and desires of your flesh, you will need to renew your mind to the things of God - the things of the spirit. Your mind is part of your soul - the mind, will and emotions. Renewing your mind is a daily commitment. It is a decision you make to spend time in the word of God, reading and meditating on the promises of God. You will learn to not be led by your emotions, but by the spirit of God. Discerning between right and wrong, good and evil and choosing to think and do the things that are pleasing in the sight of God. It is not a one time event like salvation is, but rather a process that takes time. Don't be discouraged, God has created you to be the victor, not the victim. If and when you make the decision to become more heavenly minded instead of earthly minded, God will be there to give you the strength to overcome, and He will finish the work He started in you.
Have A Blessed Day
