Thoughts are more powerful than most people imagine. God's Word says (in Romans 12:2) , "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind." That's a powerful statement. You and I can be transformed by renewing our mind. By changing the way we think and the subject of our thoughts.

We all know that in order to truly find peace and contentment in life, everyone of us needs to read and memorize God’s Word on a daily basis. Deep down inside, we know this principle, but we forget that it really can help transform our lives. God’s spoken word, both recorded and currently proceeding out of His mouth, is full of transforming life and power. You’ve probably heard that before, but maybe you didn’t believe it because, in your experience, that has not proven true. Well then, it’s time for you to create a new experience for yourself.
MINIMIZE YOUR FOCUS ON THE MEDIA AND WEB DISTRACTIONS
We forget that in order to fill our minds with the thoughts and word of God; and as Paul writes the things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, praiseworthy and excellent (Philippians 4:8), we have to make room in our minds for these things to fit. The biggest mistake we make when attempting to put forth this effort is forgetting to "De-Clutter" our minds first! Think about it, if you were going to renovate a guest room in your house that you have been using as a storage closet; the very first thing you would have to do is to "Empty it!"
Look at it as a matter of percentages. If 50% of your waking hours are spent digesting some form of secular media (music, Web, tv, video, photos) and 7% is devoted to Scripture and prayer, what are the chances of your mind taking on the structure and function of Spirit? Instead you will continue to think carnal thoughts and therefore fill your heart and soul with carnal feelings and emotions. The outcome?.....more "Dis-Ease!" Remember, your body is a reflection of your soul which in turn reflects your spirit self. In other words, what resides in your spirit is exemplified in your physical being.
If you're serious and committed to renewing your mind, I recommend reducing your involvement and exposure to television, radio, I-pads, texting, etc...unless absolutely necessary. After about a month of revised consideration to the lessening of these mindless activities, you wil start to feel a shift for the better! You watch!; you’ll think differently. Your desires will come from a more honest and unique place within you, compared to the conditioned responses you give when you’re senses are drowning in external stimuli. If you’re wise, you’ll continue to maintain a minimal focus on secular media even after the one month renewal period is over. Think of it this way: Jesus isn’t looking for 10% Christians. Besides, why would we give Him only 10% of our minds anyway? Do we REALLY expect to fulfill the callings and purposes of our lives when we can’t even transform the way we think from the way the world thinks?
