 “Be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” Ephesians 4:23–24 (NKJV)

As we regrettable shift out of this season of RENEW, be reminded that there comes a time in every saint’s walk when GOD calls us deeper. Not just to know Him, but to be transformed by Him. Renewal in the Spirit is not a one-time event. It is a daily surrender, a conscious decision to lay aside old ways of thinking and living to embrace the RENEWED life GOD has given us. To be a sacred vessel GOD can use, we must be willing to be emptied of envy, pride, jealousy, fear, backbiting, bitterness, and anything that contaminates the purity GOD desires within us. GOD does not fill vessels that think they are already full. He fills those who yield to Him. When we allow Holy GOD to cleanse our hearts and renew our minds, we become usable, repositioned for His plan, purpose, and will for His Glory.

RENEWAL begins in your mind and flows into every area of your life. Romans 12:2(NLT)

Earthly fathers, though imperfect, often give us glimpses of GOD’S character. In their protection, we see His shelter. In their provision, we recognize His care. In their discipline, we experience His desire to guide us toward what is right. Yet even the best human example cannot fully capture the depth of GOD’S love for His children.

is a witness that renewal starts in the mind and the benefits that go along with it.

It says…” Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a “new” person by changing the way you “think.” Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” As our thoughts align with GOD’S truth, our actions will reflect His character. Our love will look different, our conversations will be different, and our walk will be different too. Renewed transformation is not an act of force…

It is evidence of GOD’S Holy Spirit working within you. I encourage you today to anchor down in RENEWAL. Let go of the old and embrace the RENEWED that GOD wants to refine you into a vessel of honor, set apart, purified, and ready for His use. Being a vessel for GOD is not about perfection. It is about availability and saying, “Lord, here I am. Shape me, cleanse me, and use me.”

Remember:

When we remain open and obedient, GOD will pour into us what is needed for every assignment He places before us.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly FATHER ,

Thank You for not accepting unacceptable vessels for Kingdom work. May your prophetic anointing renew and purify our spiritual vats to be Holy and usable."

- In Jesus Holy name Amen.
