Your mind is the key to knowing God. Only a mind that stays on the Lord can have perfect peace. A mind devoted to Christ is the road to God’s plan for your life!
God has a will for your mind, and that is for your mind to be given to the pursuit of God, His Kingdom, His Word, and His Christ!
How do we bring our minds into captivity?
How do we fix our eyes on Jesus?
How do we discipline our minds for godliness?
Probably the first and most powerful way to do all that is to put on tight, our helmet of salvation.
Paul told Timothy to stir up the gift given to him. We aren’t sure what exactly it was; it might have been faith or the teaching gifts of a pastor. But it was miraculous and came by the laying on of Paul’s hands, from God.
But this evening we will learn about a miraculous gift we must stir. That gift also came the instant that God laid His Hands upon us. And that gift is our salvation.
The best way to get your mind back under God’s control is to think the truth. The helmet that we are to wear as believers is the helmet of what? Salvation. Pull on the straps and fasten your helmet of salvation. Surrender again your mind to God’s control. Energized by grace, allow God’s truth to saturate your mind and see what He can do with you.
