Devotion 6: Renewed Mind
(Colossians 3:9-10 – Transformation through the Word)
Transforming Thought Patterns
“Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its Creator.” – Colossians 3:9-10
The battlefield of intercession is often the mind. Many believers pray for breakthrough in the world but struggle with strongholds in their own thinking. Paul tells us that our minds must be renewed in knowledge—this means that our thoughts must be realigned with Kingdom truth.
Breaking Mental Strongholds
Many intercessors carry spiritual burdens but also mental battles—discouragement, doubt, fear, and exhaustion. This is because the enemy attacks the mind first before attacking anything else (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).
To be an effective intercessor, you must:
- Take Every Thought Captive – Evaluate every thought: does it align with God’s Word or with fear/deception?
- Declare God’s Truth Over Your Mind – Speak scriptures over your thoughts, just as Yeshua did against Satan in the wilderness (Matthew 4:4-10).
- Pray for Others to Be Freed in Their Minds – Many believers are trapped in cycles of shame, anxiety, and deception—intercede for renewed minds in the Body of Messiah.
Application for Intercessors
- Pray for Mental Clarity in Intercession – Ask the Ruach HaKodesh to clear distractions and anxiety from your mind as you pray (Isaiah 26:3).
- Intercede for the Body to Have the Mind of Christ – Many believers are still thinking like the world; pray for transformation through the Word (Romans 12:2).
- Stand Against Lies and Confusion – Break spiritual deception, fear, and self-doubt that hinder faith (John 8:32).
Prayer for Intercessors
“Ruach HaKodesh, renew my mind in Your truth. Let every lie and stronghold be broken, and let my thoughts align with Your Word. I intercede for Your people—release them from deception, fear, and confusion. Let the mind of Messiah be formed in us. In Yeshua’s name, Amen.”
