New Life Series 2011 Change The Way You Think
Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
In the previous entry, I shared that God wants you to live a New Life given by God but before you live a New Life you need to forsake the old life with new values from God. You need to renew every thing in your mind from the mind of God, the values given by God.
Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success
If you want to prevent the theif (devil) to steal away your New Life, you gotto meditate on the Word so that you will be prosperous and successful (and it will last). Alot of people might not agree with this post about changing the way you think by meditating on the moral laws of God. But remember the Bible says that
2 Corinthians 3:3 clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
Matthew 5:28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
So in the New Testament it is a higher expectation from God. The Holy Spirit will write the commandments in our hearts so that we will not sin against God. If we don't even know the commandments how do we know whether is it from the Holy Spirit as the Bible talks about testing the spirits.
1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
So what are the documented 10 Commandments of God?
The modern values from the 10 Commandments:
(this is quoted from Pastor Tan Ye Peng's sermon: Built To Last: #1 LOYALTY #2 COMMITMENT #3 RESPECT #4 ACCOUNTABILITY/Connectedness #5 FAMILY
#6 LOVE (Forgiveness & Mercy) #7 FAITHFULNESS/trustworthy #8 HARD WORK
#10 GENEROSITY)
In life we should never be satisfied at where we are but we should always constantly renew the Pillars of Our Life so that we will have a greater breakthrough in our life from glory to glory! Let's live the New Life!
