Please let reiterate my suggestions for the messages that I am blogging. Most of them are written in the format of making them personal for the reader. I read them often and sometimes read them out loud to myself, in effect “preaching” to myself. I do that repetitiously and intentionally.  My intention is to renew my mind. I want the very word of God rolling around in my mind to take each thought captive as those thoughts pass through my mind.   I have done this for some years now fairly faithfully and I find that the word does take on life in my mind and it will do battle with thoughts that don’t agree with God.

So my suggestion is that you would do the same thing with these word postings that I am making. It’s hard at first.  Our flesh resists and tells us about how silly it is to do these things; especially out loud, but if you’re in private and it’s the word of God then here’s a chance to overcome your flesh and feed the Spirit of God who dwells in you.

Now I’m not talking some legalism that you have to do it this way, and I’m not talking some magic mantra that if you repeat this seven times something will fall from heaven for you. What I am saying is that if the word of God is on your mouth and in your heart that’s a good thing (Romans 10:8). I believe it’s the main way God renews our mind. So God bless you with courage and faithfulness and endurance in praying the word of God with your mouth.
