Washing and Renewing

If we have yet to receive healing in an area of our life, we must not condemn ourselves but press in an even greater manner.  We have been subject to the world’s noise and ways for many years thus we must purge the dross which has entered in through our senses.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT to Titus in chapter 3:

3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,

5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

 

Again Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Ephesians chapter 4:

17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

20 But you have not so learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

 

Further Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Colossians chapter 3:

8 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds,

10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,

Meditation and action of the Word is what renews our mind.  We must not be moved by what we see or hear from the world.  We must not let the testimony of the senses be our guide for they are only temporary in nature.  We must stand on the Word which is eternal and all powerful.  Which is a greater truth- our senses or the Word of FATHER?  The Nature, Life, and Spirit of FATHER dwells in us so must become fully persuaded that these Aspects of FATHER are greater than any temporary condition experienced by our senses.  This includes sickness, disease, affliction, and oppression.

We are wired to believe anything if we hear or see it enough and it matters not if it is true or false.  Man believed the earth was flat until he found that it was a globe.  Men protected that false view and threatened the life of those who would say otherwise.  Let us not hold on to anything that is not of FATHER but be willing to discard any thought or doctrine which contradicts HIS Word.  Most of us have much washing and renewing to do for our exposure to the world has been significant and the world continues to flood our senses with its agenda of death and destruction.  Let us purse life and restoration by renewing our mind.
