The Mind Matters teaches us biblical principles of how and why God wants our minds renewed. Romans 12:12 states..."And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." This book deals with one's emotions, intellect, will and imagination. The mind is a wonderful, intricate creation with treasures in store for those who persevere in its discipline. The renewing of the mind causes problems. To understand the things of God, there must be a renewing of the mind. God will stretch your mind! Once your mind is stretched, you will change. You must understand that renewing the mind is not optional, but a necessity. We are natural-minded people, but we profess to live a spiritual and natural-minded lifestyle, with the spiritual mind set in control. (See II Corinthians 10:4-6). The reason God wants our mind renewed to the things of the Kingdom is so our earthly minds can be lifted up to heavenly benefits. (See Isaiah 55:8-9 & John 8:12, 23). Our minds must be changed and renewed by God's power for us to fully understand the Word of God. A renewed mind is a mind that is back where God wants it to be, so that our minds can function properly. As you face the many challenges along the way in the process of growth, especially in regard to the mind, you will be rewarded with treasures at each level of positive change.
