“And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” [Ephesians 4:23-24]
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” [Romans 12:2]
“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” [Psalm 51:10]
“"Renewing of your mind." The things that you once thought upon, to be precious, lay that aside and be transformed to something else; what you was one time, to what you are now. See?... by the renewing of your mind, that you might prove... that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Oh, that's what we all want to know, how to do it. See? We are here, we love Him; He saved us, now we want to know what to do. And we're trying to take a little step this morning, to raise up just a little bit higher.”[65-1031M Power Of Transformation, Prescott AZ]
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. That's what we all want to do, is, "Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind, to do the perfect and acceptable will of God." Now that we have been saved, as we are; and that we have been filled with the Holy Spirit, as we have; now we want the mind that was in Christ, to be in us, that we might be transformed from the natural things of life, and be brought in to do the perfect will of God, by transformation, of God's Spirit, by His Word.” [65-1031M Power Of Transformation, Prescott AZ]
“Now to you people that wanted to renew the joy of your salvation, and to you that... Somewhere you've lost joy. Think back what you did.Did you neglect prayer meeting? Neglect reading the Bible? Neglected praying at your home, asking the blessing at the table? Don't never do that. Oh, my! That's so--that's so unbecoming to Christians. No matter where you are, bow your head and pray. Don't be ashamed of Him. Pray anywhere, see. And if ever where you left that joy, that whatever weeded it out, what little root of bitterness come in... Remember, when a man is saved, this much... like this button here... becomes Eternal Life in your heart. That's God. As you're able to push out all the roots of bitterness, then God begins to spread in you. Then you become a son of God. A man was made to be god, to be a god. Do you know that? He's in the image of God; he's a son of God; he's like Him. He was given a domain (Genesis 1:26), dominion over the whole earth. That's right. He ruled the earth. He ruled the animal kingdom, and all the other kingdoms--all but the Kingdom of God above. He was god; he was an amateur god. He was made in the image of God, made like God, had hands and feet like God. He was in the image of God. What happened? Because he disbelieved God's Word, it sent him right back out to shift for himself. Now God's trying to bring him back. And when you have faith, and accept Him, my brother, just let that little Light begin to grow out, taking all the roots of doubt and bitterness, yielding yourself to the Spirit. Then you begin to become a son of God, a daughter of God, begin to grow in the grace of God. The Holy Spirit begins to build His kingdom within you.” [61-0128 WHY, Phoenix AZ]
“Who is it that will dare to correct Him, and say, "Now, Lord, You made a mistake by putting this man in the ministry. This man doesn't believe like we believe"? Who is going to tell God He is wrong in it? It would take somebody that's a little more of a delinquent than I am, to tell Him that. He knows what He is doing. He knows who to choose and who not to choose, what to do and when to do it. No matter how much we think that a certain person is qualified to do a certain job, God knows who is qualified for the time and the season, or the time and the right time to do it. And the real, true Christian; the real, true believer in God, waits upon the Lord for these things. Wait on your ministry. If you feel a call, be sure that it's God. Be sure that it's right. Be sure that it's timely of what you're saying. The Bible said, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with the wings like an eagle. They shall run and not be weary. If they walk, they'll not faint." “[65-0718m Trying To Do God A Service Without Being The Will Of God, Jeffersonville IN]
“And here, Paul speaking, if a man ever comes to a spot that he's been saved, and sanctified (The Blood sanctifies; Hebrews 13:12 and 13 says the Blood sanctifies.), and then comes right up to the gate of the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and because of prestige or denomination refuses to walk in it, said, "That person is lost and can never be saved" (See?); for he's done despite even to the very works of grace that's called him up to that place and showed it to him, and then turn around, walk away from it. He counts the Blood of the covenant wherewith he was crucified--Christ was crucified as an unholy thing. Because the Blood that saved him, and justified him, and sanctified him brings him up to the baptism of the Holy Ghost.” [64-0830m Questions And Answers 3, Jeffersonville IN]
“One thing that the Tabernacle needs up there at our church, at the Tabernacle at Jeff., is a rededication and a refilling of the Holy Ghost (That's right.), everyone to get down to the altar and pray until they get a renewing of the Holy Ghost, the whole church be filled with the power of God. That's what we need. Not only the Tabernacle there, but the body of Christ universal, it needs a refilling. I like David said one day, "Restore to me the joy of my salvation." Now, he had not lost his salvation, but the joy of it. And when it comes to a place that I can't enjoy my religion, my salvation, there's something wrong somewhere; because it is joy unspeakable and full of glory. One of them said, "Taste and see the Lord is good. It tastes like honey in the rock." Oh, I'm so glad that I have tasted that. The Lord is good. And I love honey, but I never tasted any like that. That's the best that I know.” [59-1004E Why Cry Speak, Clarksville IN]
“Another thing that the eagle does, if we notice, how he would likened unto the--his--God's heritage. He renews his youth. You know the Bible says he renews his youth. He's the only bird that there is that he can be almost gone, and he comes back to a young eagle again, not in age, but just in action. Well, why would Jehovah liken us unto eagles then? When you're all down, as it would be said, "in the dumps," then along comes a good revival and your youth's all reused--renewed again. Oh, I seen the old people with gray hair and whiskers all over their face, just shout and praise the Lord like a little boy fifteen years old. Sure. I've seen people setting bound in wheelchairs leap to their feet, and scream, and shout like--why they're renewed. Jehovah renews us. He renews our strength. He renews our health. He renews us all over. That's the reason He likened us unto eagles. Another thing about an eagle, an eagle won't build her nest on the ground. An eagle builds her nest just as high as she can build it. She gets it out of the way of all of the predators, everything that would bother her, she builds her nest high, so nothing will bother her.” [58-0316A As The Eagle Stirs Her Nest And Fluttereth Over Her Young, Harrisonburg VA]
“True predestinated believers will stay with the Word because they are part of that Word. Oh, wandering stars, how long will you wonder? You Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian, outsiders, whatever you might be, wandering stars, from church to church, from pillar to place, and television to television, world to world, why don't you come on? He longs to have fellowship with you. He is longing for you. He wants to transform you by the renewing of your mind, not to the church or to the denomination, but to His Word, which, you are a part if that desire is in you. Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled. (See? Uh-huh.) And it's sent His transforming Power, to bring you out of this deformity of religion that you're in. In this deformity chaos that we're in, God has sent His transforming Power, His Word, vindicated, proven, to bring you out of this religious deformity of ignorance that you're walking in, "naked, blind, miserable, and don't know it." “ [65-0911 God's Power To Transform, Phoenix AZ]
