Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.

2 Corinthians 3:18 And all of us, as with unveiled face, because we continue to behold and to reflect like mirrors the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transformed into his very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another. (Amp. Version)

2 Corinthian 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the Excellency of the power may be of God and not of us.

• The Greek word. For transformed is "metamorphoo" which is translated, "changed, transformed or transfigured".

     The third and final sealing is our minds. The crown reflected holiness unto the Lord, the crown in the forehead, in our minds. We were told in Ephesians that we should put off the former things of the flesh, the old things, the things that easily beset us, Paul said "let this mind which was also in Christ be in you, the head is that part of the body which directs and controls the body, Proverbs says "how a man thinketh, so is he" Jesus said "if a man looks at a woman to lust after her, he has already committed the act of adultery in his heart" the imagination of man's heart is continually evil. The flesh will mind the things of the flesh, and the spirit, the things of the spirit, this is the reason that Paul said that we ought to gird up the loins of our minds.

     The loins is the reproductive part of the body, this is the part that releases seed so that reproduction can take place. Jesus came from the loin of the Father just as we came from the loin of our father. We produce seed after our own kind, the loin of our mind is a place where we reproduce seed, if we bear the mind of Christ we would reproduce the God kind of seed, if we do not bear the mind of Christ we would then reproduce a carnal corrupted and contaminated seed, when we plant these seeds some will grow to honor and some to dishonor. The scripture says that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty, to the pulling down of strong holds, the mind of Christ is centered on doing those things that pleases the Father, everything is done in agreement of the spirit.

     Because we are carnal we are told that we should gird up, which means to cover, to wear, to dress or to arm ourselves. We need to install and operate in our minds, faith, hope, truth, holiness, mercy, love, compassion, kindness, forgiveness, faithfulness, hospitality. We also need to put off and deny the flesh which operates in unbelief, fear, hate, bitterness, deceit, love our selves, lust, murders, witchcraft, ungodliness, unthankful, greed.

     Our minds and thoughts and feelings and emotions all come into play and need to sync with the spirit.

When we get God in our minds he will then be in our attitudes and personalities. Our minds have been marinated in sin and the habits for so long that we sometimes go into relapse, this is the reason for Paul saying

     "I die daily" every day, we need to put off the old and put on the new. Jesus said "you cannot put new wine into old bottles, for they would break and the wine will spill".

     The new wine is Jesus and we are the bottles, this is the purpose of the change that we must go through, we are that city that the King is coming to and we must make this city ready for him.
