The renewal of our mind

Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: In Philippians 3:12-14, the Apostle Paul talks about the transformation of our thinking and how to overcome our past to become what God wants us to be. He emphasizes that the Christian life is a journey of knowing God intimately and becoming more like Him, and that we never truly arrive. We must have a degree of desperation for God to transform us and let go of the past. Paul says he continues to strive towards his goal of knowing Christ and urges us to forget what lies behind and reach out to what lies ahead. The Christian life is a process of continual renewal and growth.

In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of leaving behind mental habits, attitudes, and practices that hinder our sanctification process. He advises naming our giants and presenting them to the Lord in prayer and fasting. The speaker also stresses the need to renew our minds through the word of God, positive confession, and times of worship. He reminds us that the Christian life is a long-term journey that requires patience with ourselves and forgiveness when we fail. God uses all the materials of our lives, including tragedies and failures, to form us according to His specifications. The speaker shares a personal conversation with a young lady going through a difficult time, emphasizing the importance of seeing the potential for good that can come from suffering.


God can take advantage of the suffering and struggles in our lives to prepare us to be agents of His grace to others. He wants us to be complex Christians who have experienced a lot and can understand and relate to others in any situation. God is not picky and wants strong, realistic Christians who are not scandalized by anything. He wants us to know Him in all facets of His life and personality, including the sufferings. Through our experiences and struggles, God is forming us into beautiful and complex people who reflect the complexity of the Father. We should pray for God to take us to new levels of knowing Him and form a beautiful and complex community.


The word Philippians, Chapter 3. I want to conclude the meditation that I began two weeks ago, this is the third week, on the transformation of our thinking, the transformation of the mind, how to overcome the past, how to transcend the personal history that many times it grabs us and prevents us from entering what God wants from us.

And I'm going to start again with the same word that I've been using in Philippians, Chapter 3, starting with verse 12. If you have your Bible you can also go to verse 8 and from there because it's all part of the same word. . But where the crux of the situation lies is there in verse 12 through 14.
