RENEWED?

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Ephesians 4:23

In 1 Corinthians 14:15, Paul says he prays both "with the spirit AND with the understanding." This shows us the absolute necessity of joining our spirit and mind as one. The mind is the most difficult part of man to bring into harmony with Christ. The mind has been subject to all kinds of information since childhood and constantly feeds on that information. Even when converted, it is usually the first to lapse away from the spiritual, and therefore must be constantly RENEWED in the spirit by the Holy Ghost and the Word of God. Praying in tongues and the interpreting back to the mind what God's response is (1Corinthians 14:13), and living in the Word of God so that it lives in us, are the two greatest forces I know to be continually "renewed in our mind."
