The Renewing Of Our Minds

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Rom.12:2. When our mind is being renewed by God’s Holy Spirit what happens is our minds are increasingly, led, impressed upon, & spoken to, by God. In a sense, our minds are increasingly controlled by God’s Spirit. Key Questions: Are we willing to obey God? Are we willing to surrender to God?

What I've learned about myself is that the closer my relationship to God becomes, the more I realize when I realize I'm doing something against him which makes me feel like I've become a worse person at times, but I know it's just because I realize more clearly what God wants. I pray constantly for Him to help me obey Him. I'm willing, but need His help.

Mary, I think what you're describing is how a person's heart becomes more tender toward God and more sensitive to God, as we grow and mature in the faith. It's a good thing. But like you said, we need his help all along the way.
