The Word Cleanses And Renews

-
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the
old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful
lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And
that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:22-24).
S
ometimes, when a demon is cast out of someone,
the same demon may find its way back into that
person again. Some people get confused about this; but it’s
not a mystery at all. Jesus said when a devil goes out of a man,
he goes through dry places seeking rest. When he finds none,
he says, “I will return into my house from whence I came out;
and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and
garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other
spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell
there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first…”
(Matthew 12:44-45).
This is something a lot of people don’t understand. It’s
not enough to cast out devils; you must replace the work
of devils with the ministry of angels; you must replace the
wickedness that was hitherto in the person’s heart, with the
love of God! You must teach and minister the Word to that
individual; the Word is what now washes him clean and
transforms his life.
It’s the same thing when dealing with certain habits in
your life. Part of our theme scripture says, “be renewed in
the spirit of your mind.” It’s talking about being renewed in
the character of your mind. When a Christian has a particular
habit, and he says, “I can’t stop it; I’ve tried severally,” it’s

obvious he hasn’t given himself wholly to the Word. Romans
12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Through the Word, you’re able to replace fear with
faith, and weakness with strength. With the Word of God, you
can do anything, and be all that God wants you to be. Give
the Word first place in your life; yield yourself completely to
the Lordship of the Word.
CONFESSION
I’m renewed in the spirit of my
mind, through the Word! The
righteousness of God inundates
my life! Satan has nothing in me,
because I’ve put on the new man,
which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness;
and I live accordingly. Glory to
God!

What does the Bible say about setting goals?

-

The Bible offers a balanced approach to setting goals that includes making plans yet doing so with wisdom and humility. Jesus’ illustration of building a tower implies that it is a good thing to have set goals ( Luke 14:28 ). To live with no motivation or planning is not God’s desire.  Proverbs 6:6-11  says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard;     consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief,     officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer     and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard?     When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber,     a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber,     and want like an armed man.” Laziness causes a person to neglect work and fail to exploit the window of opportunity. Summer is the preparation time for winter, and we dare not wile it away. Failure to plan ahead will result in “poverty” and “want.” Wisely setting goals leads to better results: “Th

How do I know if I am a Christian?

Jesus taught that the condition of a person’s heart will manifest itself in his or her behavior: “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart” ( Luke 6:43–45 ; cf.  Matthew 7:16 ). So, when considering whether or not you are a Christian, you can consider the kind of fruit that is produced in the life of a Christian: 1.  Complete trust in Christ’s death and resurrection as sufficient payment for the debt we owe God.  A Christian is one who  trusts Christ  exclusively. Doubts come when we fear we must add something to the work of Christ to ensure our salvation.  Ephesians 2:8–9  makes it clear that we are not saved by our works, but by God’s grace alone. No matter how righteous we may appear, none of us come close to e
