“But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such ‘wisdom’ does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic... But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere” (James 3:14, 15, 17, NIV).
There are two kinds of wisdom, but only one is from God. Earthly wisdom contradicts the truth found in the Gospel of Grace. Wisdom from heaven is one of the fruits of the Spirit, and is a gift from God.

“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” (2 Corinthians 10:5).
Our imaginations aren’t just make-believe, but an actual gift from God to allow us to make into solid reality whatever our minds can picture. The devil tries to hijack this gift, twist it, and use it against us; we must therefore capture and subdue every thought that rises up against God’s truth, and deliberately align our thoughts to agree with God’s thoughts.

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
Fear is a weapon the enemy uses to break us down and paralyze us. However, love is stronger than fear; accepting God’s love for us makes us powerful and protects us from emotional attacks.

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength” (Isaiah 26:3, 4).
Our minds can be influenced either by the world or by heaven. Trusting God enough to focus on Him instead of the world gives us peace of mind. Faith in God is good for our mental health, because it results in a strong, sound mind.

“Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming” (1 Peter 1:13, NIV).
The world dulls our spiritual senses because of evil influences constantly swirling around us. We’re warned to stay sober and be on high alert against these influences; we do this by focusing on Jesus’ grace.

“This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind… and be renewed in the spirit of your mind” (Ephesians 4:17, 23).
Getting born again immediately changes us into new creations, but the necessary renewal in our mindset takes longer. It’s a gradual process and involves changing or thinking by constantly reading and meditating on God’s Word.

“The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing” (Zephaniah 3:17, AMPC).
God isn’t some faraway, mysterious being, but a living, loving God who wants to be with us all the time. He takes joy in us, and loves us so much that He wants to forget our past sins and shortcomings.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6, 7, NKJV).
Anxiety is a spirit that manifests itself when we don’t fully trust God, and it bars us from experiencing His peace. Consciously bringing to the Father our insecurities and anxieties allows the infinite peace of the Son’s presence to settle over us.

“It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of [anxious] toil—for He gives [blessings] to His beloved in sleep” (Psalm 127:2, AMPC).
Getting too preoccupied with the worries and cares of the world lets anxiety get the best of us and causes us to lose sleep. God cares deeply about our physical rest, and He wants us to rest peacefully at night.
