Surmon Notes

Sermon Title: Renewed Mind — Living from a Higher Place

Text: Romans 12:2; Colossians 3:1–3; 2 Corinthians 10:3–5

Introduction

Beloved, we are living in a world flooded with distractions, false narratives, fear, and confusion. The battle of our generation is not only around us—it is within us. It’s a battle for the mind. And yet, in the middle of this noise, God is calling His people to rise up—not with carnal weapons, but with transformed minds.

The song Renewed Mind from the album Supreme in Christ: A Journey Through Colossians is more than a melody—it’s a declaration. A cry for transformation. A surrender of our thoughts to the reign of Christ.

Today, I want to share three truths about renewing our minds, rooted in scripture and echoed through this worship song. Let the Word speak. Let the Spirit work. Let your mind be renewed.

1.

Renewal Begins with Surrender

Romans 12:2 (KJV) says:

“Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”

Transformation does not begin with striving—it begins with surrender. The lyrics cry out, “Take my thoughts, make them Yours. Transform my life.”

God doesn’t ask us to fix our thinking in our own strength. He invites us to lay it down. Our anxieties, our assumptions, our thought patterns shaped by trauma, culture, or pride—none of it can stand in His holy presence.

Just like Romans 12:1 instructs us to present our bodies as living sacrifices, we must also present our minds. We say, “Lord, I give You my reasoning. My logic. My fears. My imagination. Make it holy.”

Application:

What thoughts have you been trying to manage instead of surrendering? What mindsets do you need to place on the altar today?

2.

Renewal Requires Spiritual Alignment

Colossians 3:2 commands us:

“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”

We cannot renew our minds if our gaze is still anchored in earthly thinking. Renewed Mind captures this beautifully with the lyric: “Yeshua, Lord, renew my mind. Ruach HaKodesh, realign.”

This is the work of the Holy Spirit. The Ruach HaKodesh realigns our thoughts to the Kingdom. He shifts our inner compass. What once felt normal—worry, offense, fear, self-pity—no longer feels right under His refining presence.

2 Corinthians 10:5 adds to this:

“…bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”

Not every thought is innocent. Some must be arrested. Some must be replaced. And only the Holy Spirit can help us discern the difference.

Application:

What thoughts are you allowing to stay that God never sent? Are you willing to let the Holy Spirit realign your mind to think as Heaven thinks?

3.

Renewal Produces Peace and Power

Isaiah 26:3 declares:

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”

A renewed mind doesn’t just lead to clarity—it leads to shalom. Peace. Wholeness. The song’s chorus declares:

“Take my thoughts, remove my fear. Jehovah Shammah, You’re always near.”

This is the outcome of surrender and alignment—peace that passes understanding (Philippians 4:7). When our thoughts are governed by God’s truth, fear loses its grip. Strongholds fall. And our perspective shifts from panic to praise.

It is then we begin to walk in true authority. A renewed mind is not passive—it’s powerful. It sees trials through the lens of victory. It chooses trust over turmoil, praise over panic, hope over hopelessness.

Application:

What would it look like for you to live with a mind anchored in peace? How would your responses change if your thoughts were continually stayed on Yeshua?

Conclusion: Let the Mind of Christ Be in You

Philippians 2:5 reminds us:

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus…”

This is the goal—not just healthier thoughts, but holy ones. Not just positive thinking, but Christ-centered thinking.

The lyrics of Renewed Mind are a personal altar call:

“Renew my mind. Take my thoughts, make them Yours. Transform my life.”

This isn’t just a song. It’s a prayer. A process. A posture.

And the promise of God is this: “He who began a good work in you will complete it.” (Philippians 1:6)

Altar Call / Ministry Moment

Are you battling anxious thoughts, fear, or mental fatigue?

Do you long for a renewed mind—shaped by the Word, led by the Spirit, filled with peace?

Come to the altar. Come to the One who is always near—Jehovah Shammah.

Let His Spirit realign you. Let His truth wash over you.

Today, transformation begins again.

Prayer:

Abba Father, we surrender our thoughts, our inner battles, and our restless minds to You. Cleanse us. Renew us. Align us with Heaven. Let every fear bow to truth. Let every lie be exposed by the light of Your Word. Ruach HaKodesh, we invite You—realign our thinking. Let us walk with the mind of Christ. In Yeshua’s name, amen.

You don’t have to stay bound in old patterns.

The Lord is near. The Spirit is ready.

The renewing has already begun.

Podcast Script

🎙️ Podcast Title: “Thought by Thought: Letting God Renew Your Mind”

Episode Theme: Based on the song Renewed Mind from the album Supreme in Christ: A Journey Through Colossians

🎧 [Gentle ambient music fades in]

Host Voice:

Hey friends, welcome back to another episode of Awakened Worshipers—the space where worship meets the Word, and our hearts align with heaven’s heartbeat.

I’m so glad you’re here with me today. Whether you’re driving in the car, folding laundry, or sitting with a warm cup of tea, I want you to know this moment is sacred. God is near. And He’s not just near—He’s speaking. He’s inviting us into a deeper transformation—starting with the mind.

Today’s episode is inspired by a powerful track from the Supreme in Christ album called Renewed Mind. It’s more than a worship song—it’s a prayer. It’s a battlefield anthem for every believer who’s wrestled with anxious thoughts, shame from the past, or the lies that sneak in and try to name us.

🎧 [Soft music underlays briefly]

Let’s begin with this line:

“Jehovah Shammah, You’re always near. Take my thoughts, remove my fear.”

There’s something profoundly comforting about that name—Jehovah Shammah. The Lord is there. He’s not far off in our struggles. He’s not waiting for us to get our thoughts together before showing up. He meets us right in the middle of the mental mess and whispers, “Let’s renew this—together.”

I want to take you to Romans 12:2:

“Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”

Not conformed—but transformed. That’s the key.

See, the world has its patterns. Its own way of thinking. And if we’re not intentional, those patterns become ours: fear-driven decisions, comparison, doubt, pride, distraction. But God calls us higher—not just to change our behavior, but to change our thinking. Because when the mind shifts, the whole life shifts.

The song Renewed Mind gives voice to that surrender.

“Take my thoughts, make them Yours. Transform my life.”

Isn’t that beautiful? There’s no striving in that lyric. Just surrender.

This is what I’ve learned: spiritual transformation doesn’t come by trying harder—it comes by yielding deeper.

Let’s go deeper into 2 Corinthians 10:5, which says:

”…casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”

You know what that tells me? Not every thought is welcome. Not every voice in our heads is telling the truth. Some thoughts need to be evicted. Others need to be submitted.

It’s not just mental health—it’s spiritual warfare.

When the enemy can’t touch your calling, he’ll try to tangle up your thinking. But here’s the promise: the Ruach HaKodesh—the Holy Spirit—is our divine Counselor, our Realigner. And as the song says, we can cry out:

“Ruach HaKodesh, realign.”

🎧 [Pause with ambient instrumental build]

You might be wondering, “Okay, but how do I actually do this?”

Let me give you three simple steps:

1. Name the Thought

   Don’t let fear or lies stay vague. Call them out. Journal it. Say it. Ask: What am I believing right now that doesn’t match God’s Word?

2. Replace it with Truth

   Meditate on scriptures like Philippians 4:8:

   “Whatsoever things are true… honest… just… pure… lovely… think on these things.”

You don’t fight thoughts with silence—you fight them with truth.

3. Invite God In

   Don’t just push the thoughts away—ask God to fill the space. Let His Spirit speak peace into the storm.

🎧 [Soothing music returns softly]

Friend, maybe today you feel stuck in a cycle of anxious thinking. Maybe the “old tapes” keep replaying. Maybe you’re exhausted from trying to stay strong in your own mind.

Can I remind you?

You’re not alone.

You’re not powerless.

And your mind is not beyond renewal.

Day by day, thought by thought, God is making you new. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is dwelling in you. And He’s not just reviving your heart—He’s renewing your mind.

As we close, I want to pray with you.

🎧 [Music softens, then fades]

Let’s pray:

Yeshua, thank You for being the God who is always near. Thank You for meeting us in our thoughts, in our fears, in our quiet moments of confusion. Right now, we surrender. Every anxious thought. Every lie. Every shameful memory. We give it to You.

Holy Spirit, realign us. Break strongholds in our thinking. Replace fear with peace. Confusion with clarity. Bitterness with blessing. We choose to set our minds on things above. Anchor us in Your truth, and teach us to walk daily in the renewing of our minds.

Let the mind of Christ be in us.

In Your holy name, amen.

🎧 [Soft outro music returns]
