The Bible tells us that God speaks to us through our minds. At times when He speaks to us, we may not even be aware that the thoughts running through our minds are from God. We may think that those ideas and thoughts were the result of our minds alone.
Every Believer Has Heard From God
If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you have heard from God. Jesus tells us that you have been taught by God our Heavenly Father! Let's see what our Lord says:
"It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me." John 6:45
God Speaks So That We May Be Transformed By His Word Through His Spirit
Spiritual transformation occurs when we renew our minds with God's thoughts:
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2
Spiritual transformation occurs when we our minds through God's Spirit instead of allowing the spirits of darkness to control our thoughts:
"And be renewed in the spirit of your mind." Ephesians 4:23
Application
Let's allow the Holy Spirit to renew our minds with God's thoughts. As we yield to the Holy Spirit, a miracle happens! We begin to hear God and have the mind of God:
"But we have the mind of Christ." 1 Corinthians 2:15
