COLOSSIANS‬ ‭3:8-10‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“But now rid yourselves [completely] of all these things: anger, rage, malice, slander, and obscene (abusive, filthy, vulgar) language from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new [spiritual] self who is being continually renewed in true knowledge in the image of Him who created the new self” ‭

This Right Here…..

It pains me to see Christians who refuse to allow the power of God to renew their minds. Choosing to maintain their normal behaviors because they’re so accustomed to it. Choosing to produce fruit that is not after the vine (Jesus)…….then they wonder why they have bared pain upon pain….. heartache after heartache…… why day after day they continue to bare a cross they were not meant to carry. Choosing not to die to their flesh and rid themselves of the things listed above and hide behind phrases such as “I want to do me”…… “This is who I am”…… “I gotta stay true to myself”, which becomes their reasons for never having to change/develop further in God.  Unfortunately, this becomes a snare (trap) for them…

A Renewed mind….. changing how you think about things and exchanging them for how God thinks of things, how He sees it, requires that you die to yourself DAILY! It’s not an easy thing to do especially when your flesh wants to rise up within you, but through Christ we have been given the word of God that teaches us what to do, what to say, how to refrain from, how to pray & ask for wisdom in order to maintain peace even while going through rough seasons…

Choose to “strip off your old self” & rediscover who God has called you to be through His word!
