Paul says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” And when most people hear, “Renew your mind,” they think about the surface level. Replace the negative thought with a positive one. Speak scripture verses over your anxiety. Change what you’re consciously telling yourself. And none of that is wrong. That all matters. But, in a way, it’s just half the house, because your mind is not just one thing. Your mind has two parts. The conscious mind is the part you know about. It’s the main floor of what gets all the attention. It’s all about what you’re actively thinking right now. The words forming as you read, the opinion you’re forming about what I’m saying. That’s your conscious mind – the main floor. But underneath that, there’s a deeper floor, the basement buried in the foundation under the main floor. That’s the subconscious mind. This is where everything lives that you’re not actively thinking about. Your habits, your automatic responses, your deep assumptions about yourself, about money, about what you deserve, about what’s possible for your life… about God, His nature, His will for your life… It’s all down there …running constantly without you watching it. Let’s look at a good example that really makes this idea click into our reality.

Truth-seekers with even a pinch of skepticism smell the fishy-ness of propaganda. We seem to be witnessing the full-on war on justice, truth, and all that is good and right. Isaiah 59:14 is being repeated worldwide: “Our courts oppose the righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found. Truth stumbles in the streets, and honesty has been outlawed.”
