As Jesus taught, "No one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skin, and both the wine and the skins will be ruined" (Mark 2:22). This parable highlights the need for new containers – or in this context, new mindsets – to receive and preserve the fresh, transformative work of God.

Our mindset, thought system, and outlook on life serve as the containers where we process and respond to God's guidance. It's the framework that informs our decisions and actions. As followers of Christ, it's crucial that we continually examine and renew our minds to align with God's plans and purposes.

Before Jesus' ascension, His disciples asked Him if He would restore the kingdom to Israel at that time (Acts 1:6). Jesus' response might have seemed disappointing to their expectations, but it revealed God's next step for His people:

"You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8). This exchange illustrates how our limited understanding can lead us to focus on outdated or misguided ideas.

When we fail to grasp what God wants to do next, we risk becoming stagnant and ineffective. We might "tabernacle" around an idea that was once relevant but is no longer applicable to our current season. This can lead to spiritual complacency and a disconnection from God's ongoing work.

To avoid stagnation and stay aligned with God's purposes, we must cultivate a clear understanding of His plans and desires. This requires a willingness to adapt, learn, and grow, ensuring that our mindset and actions remain relevant to the current season.

As the apostle Paul wrote, "Do not conform 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).

God’s Word, The Framework Of Your Thought.

God’s Word is the most precise medicine that heals, transforms, and restores a dysfunctional mindset, bringing it to the correct condition for the entire soul to function as divinely intended. Psalm 119:10-11. With all my heart I have sought You; do not let me stray from Your commandments. 11 I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.

This point cannot be stressed enough: our future is determined by our thoughts. Consistently applying the transformative power of God's word to your mindset is essential. Those who are committed to cultivating a life-changing mindset that promotes positivity, and productivity must recognize the significance of embracing God's values as the foundation and framework for transforming and renewing their minds.

It is for this reason that we are told to take every thought captive and bring them under the rulership of Christ. This, however, is impossible if the word of God is not well seated within the mind frame.

If overcoming negativity, poverty, or illness were simply a matter of "thinking your way" out of those challenges, many people would have already achieved success through their thoughts alone. However, thinking is not merely a psychological endeavor; it requires engaging in a prolonged, strategic, spiritual warfare over the mind that one must be ready to win.

As previously mentioned, the forces of darkness actively work to keep individuals trapped in mindsets that align with their destructive intentions.

2 Corinthians 4:4: The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, preventing them from seeing the light of the gospel that reveals the glory of Christ, who embodies the image of God.

There are well organized Princes of darkness ordained to only influence and shape the human thought system of realms and societies, which are way beyond emotional, psychological, and intellectual exercise. The nature of thoughts is inherently spiritual, making them susceptible to powerful demonic influences. If positive willpower alone were sufficient to change attitudes and behaviors, mental health institutions and correctional facilities would no longer be necessary as important as they.

Many people end up in these facilities after trying tirelessly to maintain a positive outlook, only to face mental breakdowns. These breakdowns frequently arise from persistent attacks by formidable demonic forces and dark territorial rulers, who aim to keep deceiving and manipulating individuals and their will under Satan's authority and influence.

Grasping the significance of spiritual redemption through the continuous contemplation of God's word can profoundly transform your thinking. This practice offers a fresh outlook on life, igniting your motivation, hope, and faith to tackle negative thoughts with confidence and courage.

Through God’s Word, you gain the strength to overcome mental and emotional struggles. The ministry of the Word actively working in your life equips you to stay focused and determined, empowering you to rise above negative thoughts.

However, living in past trauma, fear, and bitterness keeps you from experiencing sound victory. Many are addicted to their past because they’ve allowed the root of bitterness to take hold. Breaking free from this cycle is essential for development and fulfilling your ordained purpose and calling in life.

The biggest challenge for many in relationships is that they allow their unregenerated thoughts to define the boundaries of their relationships.

Thinking is not accidental; it is a deliberate, purpose-driven, strategic process aimed at achieving your desired outcomes. You need to consciously select your thought patterns; otherwise, you risk succumbing to misguided emotional reactions and responses driven by transient feelings.

As humans, we naturally seek reasons for our circumstances, especially during difficult times. We want to understand why we face challenges, why we suffer losses, and why certain trials come our way. This desire for explanation is deeply ingrained in human nature.

However, the speaker makes an important point: the expectation that becoming a believer will automatically grant us complete understanding of God's purposes is misleading. Scripture affirms this in Isaiah 55:8-9: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

The message emphasizes trust as a foundational spiritual value. Throughout church history, mature believers have recognized that following Christ requires living within a framework of trust rather than complete understanding.

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! 34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” 35 “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” 36 For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. Romans 11:33-36

Let is consider another critical scenario, The Betrayal of our Lord Jesus Christ.

(John 13:25-28)

The passage in John 13:25-28 is one of the most spiritually profound moments in the biblical history narrative. It vividly captures the devastating effects of betrayal, deception, and accusation, revealing the intricate dynamics at play at how and when Satan entered Judas.

This account provides not only a historical moment in Jesus' ministry but also a spiritual lens through which we can understand the workings of the enemy in the realm of human thought and decision-making.

In this passage, Jesus identifies the one who will betray Him by stating that it is the person to whom He will give a piece of bread dipped in the dish. Upon handing the bread to Judas Iscariot, Scripture tells us that Satan entered Judas (John 13:27). This moment was not merely a physical act but a deeply spiritual one, marking the culmination of Judas’ internal thought battle a reality.

It is here that we see the power of unchecked thoughts and the devastating consequences of opening one’s heart and mind to deception.

It is of utmost importance that we keep in mind, before moving forward, that Jesus Christ possessed the divine knowledge of Judas' thoughts and desires, just as he was aware of the thoughts and desires of all his disciples and all mankind. It is a humbling and sobering concept to live within the conscious reality that Christ is aware of our innermost thoughts, and this knowledge should inspire us to carefully consider and adjust our thinking processes accordingly.

Judas' betrayal was not spontaneous or sudden. It was the result of a process, gradual erosion of truth in his thought life. Long before Satan entered him, Judas had likely entertained thoughts of doubt, greed, and disillusionment, which paved the way for the ultimate act of betrayal. This serves as a powerful reminder of the critical importance of guarding our minds and hearts against the subtle manipulations of the enemy.

In the story of Adam and Eve, when they decided to eat the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, they disobeyed God's command, but also forfeited their ability and divine right to think and make decisions correctly.

This pivotal moment in history serves as a powerful symbol of the disruption that occurred in humanity's original alignment with divine wisdom and clarity, leading to a distorted thought process that has plagued mankind for centuries and continues to do so to this day.

It is of utmost importance to acknowledge and understand that most negative or criminal behaviors and societal issues, as we have previously discussed, are rooted in flawed patterns of thinking passed down from the fall of the first man. When children are raised in an environment that promotes self-centeredness and entitlement, without being taught the values of selflessness, compassion, and consideration for others, they are at a higher risk of growing into adults with dysfunctional behavioral patterns. This is evident in the current state of leadership and government, where individuals prioritize their own interests over the well-being of others.

To properly educate and cultivate a child's thought process, it is essential to guide them towards developing qualities such as compassion, respect for others, and accountability and responsibility for their actions and decisions. The beliefs and thought patterns that shape an individual’s character and destiny are often formed in childhood.

The concept of "right thinking" is not something that comes naturally to us. It requires consistent effort and care in order to be developed and maintain such discipline.

Therefore, one of the most effective ways to curb wrong behavior and crime in society is to teach people, especially the younger generation, how to think differently. By instilling a proper thinking system in children from an early age, we can raise a generation of respectful, responsible, and productive leaders who will positively impact society.

It is an indisputable fact that any alteration in our external circumstances or behaviors is unattainable, without first making a conscious effort to transform our internal mindsets. We simply do not change until our thought lifestyle is transformed for good. It is crucial to recognize that the thoughts you consistently entertain and consume, whether positive or negative, will ultimately dictate your actions and shape your very being over time.

If you continuously let thoughts of hate, pride, violence, and anger consume your mind and take control, that is what you will ultimately become and manifest in your actions and behaviors. And if you give room to love, peace, faith, hope, forgiveness, success, and possibilities, that’s what you will achieve through your thought. Your mind, like your body, is nourished by what you feed it.

Consequently, it is essential to be cautious and aware of what you permit to enter and settle in your subconscious. Just as the food affects your physical health, the thoughts significantly shape your mental and spiritual wellness you nurture and entertain.

It is not an overstatement to stress the critical importance of being vigilant about what you allow into your mind through your eyes and ears. These sensory organs are not just physical extensions; they serve as gateways to your mind, the entry points for information, and influences that shape your inner world.
