CHANGE MY MIND PLEASE

 CHANGE MY MIND PLEASE 

  Psalm [GW] 32:8-9 The LORD says, "I will instruct you. I will teach you the way that you should go. I will advise you as my eyes watch over you. Don't be stubborn like a horse or mule. They need a bit and bridle in their mouth to restrain them, or they will not come near you." (Since trusting Lord Jesus Christ at age 27, for good reason these have been my life verses. EBB4)

  John [MKJV] 1:11-12 He came to His own, and His own received Him not. 

But as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become the children of God, to those who believe on His name, 

  Yesterday I aired the explanatory essay provided by GotQuestions.org, HOW CAN I HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST? Before the morning was over a professing Christian posted on Facebook a nice suggested prayer asking God to change our mind.

  God does not change our mind. Doing so initially and ongoing is our responsibility: “I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is that good and pleasing and perfect will of God.” (MKJV Rom.12:1-2)

  It could be argued that for John 3:3 born-again John 1:12 individuals authorized members of God’s family being indwelled with God’s Holy Spirit – Have their minds being actively changed by the Holy Spirit. This activity may be true. However, within free will, as ever we can reject change; it being our option to “quench” God’s Divine Spirit within us, or not. (1Thes.5:19)

  Please beware of the temptation to shun spiritual responsibility.
