HOW CAN YOU CHANGE THE OLD CONTAMINATED NATURE AND PUT ON THE NEW MAN WITH GOD’S SPIRIT?

BY RENEWING YOUR MIND WITH THE MIND OF CHRIST!!

HOW? HOW CAN I RENEW MY MIND WITH THE MIND OF CHRIST?

THERE IS A PROCESS TO GAIN VICTORY OVER ALL THE SPIRITS OF YOUR OLD NATURE THAT WANT TO CONSTANTLY COME BACK:

WALK IN THE FEAR OF GOD — UNDERSTAND THAT EVERY WORD, EVERY ACTION, EVERY FEELING, EVERY INTEND OF THE HEART ARE KNOWN TO GOD AND FEAR!!
HEBREW 10:30-31 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The LORD will judge His people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. [NKJV]

RECOGNIZE YOUR REBELLION AND REPENT! GOD CALLS US TO REPENTANCE AND HE IS READY TO FORGIVE:
EZEKIEL 18:31-32 Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit…For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord GOD. “Therefore, turn and live!”
ISAIAH 1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH AND ENGAGE IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE AGAINST EVERY SPIRIT OF DARKNESS THAT CONTROLLED YOU BEFORE YOU BECAME A CHRISTIAN:

Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God…do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. [Romans 12:1-2]
These is what Paul tells us: “Put to death your members which are on earth…put off all kind of anger and filthy language…put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him…but above all, put on love…and let the peace of God rule in your heart…let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom” Col. 3:5-16
Fill your heart and mind with the word of God [the Bible] so that when the old spirits want to return, they will find you filled with the truth of God’s word and power and will be stopped from coming back. Jesus warned about an empty heart: “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.” [Matthew 12:43-45]
Finally hang on to God’s promises for you. God loves His children and He wants them to obtain victory in the middle of the battle so He has given mighty promises that we must trust and believe: For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us… who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. [2 Corinthians 1:20, 22]
