Renew My Mind
The first step, Roy said, was to renew his mind. Roy knew that if he didn’t renew his mind satan would control his thoughts, and therefore his life. If he played by satan’s rules, he would be ruled.
In a notebook, Roy wrote down every scripture he read in "The Laws of Prosperity" and began to meditate on them often. Sometimes, he confessed them two or three times a day. Over time, as he visualized and spoke God’s promises, his belief began to increase. In addition, Roy studied the Bible consistently and posted key scriptures on his refrigerator as a visual reminder. He and Sally watched the "Believer’s Voice of Victory" broadcast, read the "BVOV" magazine, and pored over Kenneth and Gloria Copeland’s books.
Second, Roy realized he had to stop the contamination of his natural thoughts. Although they may seem innocent, all natural thoughts are under the jurisdiction of the evil one, the god of this world. Roy and Sally decided to start limiting the time they spent watching TV. Later, they limited their exposure to the internet and social media.
“Most Christians believe that if you spend an hour a day in the Word of God and prayer, you’re operating in God’s kingdom,” Roy said. “But what if you spend two hours watching television, an hour on social media and another large chunk of time catching up on the news on your phone? Which kingdom are you operating in most?”
