What’s on your psyche? Chances are you might have 100 thoughts floating around, some good and some bad. It's difficult to separate ourselves from our thoughts, which is why we should recognize our thoughts and minds are powerful and an important part of our soul. Good psychology outflows from healthy spirituality, gifted to us by God as we repent and change our mindsets to the truth of God’s word. The transformation of the mind will change your life and is a journey that starts by surrendering to God. Even though we live in a world where our minds are constantly bombarded with all kinds of information and ideas, to be happy, healthy and Holy requires a daily choice to stop thinking like the world and become a living sacrifice to God.

We have to adopt Jesus’s teaching to get happy, healthy, and Holy.

1. Memories

Past memories can influence present perceptions. Yet, we can break this pattern and transform our lives by letting God’s word renew our mind. In processing memories of our past, God calls us to refocus our mind on Him. Reframing our memories allows past joys and sorrows to sharpen the tools He gave us to serve His Kingdom.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8

2. What you perceive, leads to what you believe

Our perception of the world shapes our beliefs, and the way we live our lives everyday. Although it's common to hear people use the term “my truth”,  as believers we hold onto the absolute truth, God’s truth. Perceiving life the way God intends for us, requires us to reframe our perception. Where our focus goes, our life follows. Let’s hold true to the belief we have in Jesus, and the ultimate sacrifice he made for us. Not only to give us eternity, but also full peace, joy and freedom in our reality.

Politician Arthur Fletcher once famously said that “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.” However, when we build our memories, perceptions, and beliefs on the foundation of Christ Jesus our minds become an invaluable tool for transformation. With the constant renewal of our thoughts according to God’s will, positive and productive changes are sure to follow.
