Hi
God gave us our minds for a reason, we can do a lot with our minds when properly developed and utilized. With our mind we can better our living, we can develop, build, create things that can improve how we live, work and relate.
The evidence is there, at every turn of our lives. We can see how much as human we have achieve in different areas of our lives. How much we have discovered in science, how much we have created in technology, how much we of built in infrastructures, and how much we have developed in living.
It is a blessing that God created us, to be intelligent creatures.

Nevertheless, when we become Christians is like we fail to shift or transition our mind, from that of a natural man and a carnal man to that of a born again, born of the spirit man. Yet, still we need the proper function of our mind even after being born again. The only change is needed is our mind to be morphed/ transformed. To fit our new nature, to understand the things of our new world.
The old man way of thinking, the natural man reason or the carnal man perspective can and will never understand the things of the spirit. Unless our mind morph we will never know what is pleasing to God, what is good and what is perfect. It is hard to know the will of God with carnal mindset. Though many people are trying hard to know God and his will through their carnal mind.
Some pray and pray to know the will of God that should have been clear to them if they hard a transformed mind. Our new kind of mind is very vital to how best we can live and enjoy the blessings of our new life. We do not do much because we do not know much, we are perishing for the lack of knowledge. And we lack that knowledge because we are not transformed in our mind.

I know it is though to unlearn. It is easy to conform, but when you conform you do not become different, you just become fashioned to the carnal patterns. Transformation is to become different to the old man. When things are trans-formed, means they change to something totally different. A new nature demand a new mind, a new man demands a new lifestyle and a new lifestyle demands a new mindset and a new mindset demands a different information.
Most Christians we have failed to do exploits for God in our life, not because we lack faith. Neither because we do not pray enough, but because we lack the knowledge of God's will.
As born again we no longer live according to the flesh or carnal desires, we live according to God's will, however to know God's will we need a transformed mind.
When we conform our minds to the life systems of this world. We become at home with this world.
Conclusion;
They way we understand things, live our life and the way we treat things will always reveal the principles and the systems that govern our minds.
Romans 12:1-2.
Thank you for your time.
