Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. (Ezekiel 36:25)
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; (Colossians 3:9)

The gradual process of our transformation

Paul calls for believers to transform themselves, but this transformation is not something we can accomplish on our own. Rather, it is a process that occurs through the work of the Holy Spirit, drawing us closer to the character of Jesus Christ. The renewal of the mind is the key to this transformation, as it leads to a change in our understanding, attitudes, and interpretation of the world. We must put off the old man and be renewed in the spirit of our mind, putting on the attributes of the new man in Christ. This gradual process leads to a transformation that pleases God and enables us to live above the temptations of the world. Read more...

Alba Fuentes: If you want to experience a true life of peace, of tranquility, of rest, of spiritual triumph, you have to undergo that process of gradual death and mental renewal that leads to a transformation of your life and then empowers you to live above everything. the temptations and seductions and traps of this carnal world. amen amen
Very well said Alba! It is true, to experience a full life in the Holy Spirit, we must undergo the transformation process that God has for us. As the prophet Ezekiel says, God will sprinkle us with clean water and cleanse us from all our uncleanness. And as the Apostle Paul says, we must get rid of the old man with his bad habits. Only then can we live a full and victorious life in Christ Jesus. May the Lord help us to undergo this transformation process! Blessings!
Gustavo Martinez Afanador : The mind is the place where the enemy wants to dominate and if he does we are in trouble, as children of God the only one who can take control of our mind is the Holy Spirit and we must yield everything to the power of God to manage our life . Blessings
Amen Gustavo! As you well mention, our mind is a spiritual battlefield, where the enemy wants to dominate and take control. But thank God, we have the Holy Spirit in us, who is the only one capable of taking control of our mind and guiding our thoughts towards the truth and life in Christ Jesus. As the Apostle Paul says in his letter to the Romans, we must renew our mind so that it is aligned with the will of God. May the Lord help us to yield everything to the power of God and submit to the renewing of our minds! Blessings!
