YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE MIND UNTIL GOD CHANGES THE HEART…

Change the heart and the mind will follow.

How many times have you heard someone say, “You aren’t going to change my mind”?

As Christians, we say that to anyone who tries to convince us to reject Jesus. So, as we strive to promote the love of Christ, and to convince people to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, it’s easy to understand how some people who were born and raised in other faiths or no faith will say the same thing.

But, we must understand that our challenge as Christians isn’t to change MINDS, but to touch HEARTS. When you touch someone’s HEART with the love of Christ, their THINKING changes.

In Jeremiah 33:31, God promises us,

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their HEARTS. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”

Notice, God didn’t say He’d put His word in our minds, but hearts.

How many times have you struggled to change someone’s mind?

Some have even married people determined to change their MINDS and thinking.

Any effective social movement such as the Civil Rights Movement was successful because it changes hearts. You can’t FORCE people to change how they think, but when you touch their HEARTS, their thinking will change. The NON-VIOLENT protests of the 50’s and 60’s were designed to change hearts.

People will tell you, “You can talk to me until you’re blue in the face, you won’t change my mind!” And they’re right. Talk makes people defensive of their thinking, but God’s love has the power to change their heart. Talk is CHEAP, but LOVE is action.

Don’t beat your head against the wall trying to change someone’s mind.

Don’t rely on LOUD talk and FORCE to change someone’s mind.

LIVE out loud and LOVE out loud to change the HEART, and the MIND will follow.

BE BLESSTIFIED!
