God wants us to be a hit in our Christian life. He outlines success as turning into the person that He wants us to be and realizing the goals that He has set for our lives. His Word tells us that godly feat starts with our thinking (Proverbs 23:7 KJV). Why? Because God has designed our mind to be a tough tool that impacts our angles and our actions, both toward Him and toward other people.

The godliness of our minds determines to a giant degree the godliness of our lives. The Scriptures let us know that before our deliverance, we were divided and antagonistic in mind toward the things of God (Colossians 1:21). So our old way of thinking is of tiny price in our turning into the person God wants us to be. That’s why the Bible indoctrinates us to be made new in the perspective of our thinking (Ephesians 4:23) and gives us direction on what to dump from and add to our minds (Ephesians 4:31-32).

Antagonistic thinking is to get replaced by the truth of the Word.

Reasoning God’s way means to “set our minds” on the things of God. Each day, we are to pick to have the Lord’s perspective; we must also reject any thinking that leads to conformity with the planet’s tactics (Romans 12:2). When we fix our attention on who God is, on His plan for us, and on a way to please Him, we’ll start thinking His way. To be successful in the dominion of God requires “kingdom” thinking.
