Years ago, I remember hearing an analogy about storing memories. It went like this . . .
We experience something and we put that memory on a shelf in our mind. Whether or not it is true, there it sits, until a trigger brings it down off the shelf. When negativity or lies are stored and believed, they have the same power each time they are recalled. That is why we must change the tape.
God’s word tells us that we are to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Romans 12:2. We can replace those old unhealthy thinking patterns by feeding our mind with truth, but God has a greater plan than just changing our behaviour. He wants to completely change our nature as we head towards Him. The end result will be peace with God, true freedom and much, much more.
