“Be Transformed by the renewing of your mind”; “Be continuously filled with the Holy Spirit” are the first things that rise up within me. And they are not just one time events. They are meant to be continuous companions on the journey.
And in this day and age of hyper-info-onslaught, their priority should be high.
The goal is “un-obscuring”; Getting our paradigm shifted (a favorite phrase of mine) so that our hearts and minds can better perceive the Truth & Love that Jesus brings us. The revelation has to be more than just intellectual. Allowing Jesus total access to the rooms of the heart is necessary (and scary, at least to the flesh . . .)
The lie fosters fear to get us to cringe in the darkness. But the Word brings light, love and healing.
As the reality of His Truth and Love sink further into our hearts, the way we respond to all that we encounter on the journey begins to shift. We have a greater awareness of His presence. Indeed, we begin to hear and see with the Holy Spirit, who guides us into all truth.
So, just how does one begin the journey of renewal? Jesus is the one who has cleared the path for us. Holy Spirit enables us. And tools have been provided to align us so that we can perceive and receive . . .
Next Up: Renewal, Spiritual Disciplines and a cup of Chai with Jesus.
