Renewing Your Mind
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2 NKJV
Your time here can be considered a precious gift that you give to yourself and the others in your life.
Renew Your Mind Page Introduction (audio)
Renewing your mind.
What does that mean, and how do we go about it?
Romans 12:2 says:
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.
As Christians, when we’re born again, we’re given a new spirit… a new nature… a new identity in Christ Jesus.
You may have noticed, as I did, that unlike our spirits, our minds, and the old thoughts, speech and habits that flow from them, aren't automatically and immediately transformed.
While He provides help and guidance, the responsibility to renew our minds remains primarily ours.
Bringing our mind into synch with the Godly nature and spirit He’s given us…
with what 1 Corinthians 2:16 describes when it says, “We have the mind of Christ.”
When He walked those dusty roads and rocky trails around 2000 years ago, much of the time Jesus spent with His disciples and followers was focused on teaching and admonishing them to think, speak and act as He did.
In other words, to be transformed by the renewing of their minds.
Transformed from what they had been to what He lovingly wanted them to become.
Back then, they had to renew their minds to be effective in the callings He gave them as His ambassadors and representatives.
Well, that hasn’t changed for us, and I doubt it ever will…
at least until He returns.
We can’t be fully effective Christians if we’re double-minded and old, carnal, worldly ways of thinking are clashing with His righteousness.
We need to be transformed by renewing our mind to the mind of Christ.
To help with that, He’s given us some wonderfully practical and effective tools.
Prayer, Scripture memorization and meditation, Biblical affirmations and positive confessions, songs, hymns, and more.
I’d like to focus on a few specific strategies to help you in your growth and transformation.
Hi. If we haven’t already met, I’m Kevin Wharem, and together, we can utilize some simple, time-tested and proven strategies to get your thoughts, speech and actions even more fully renewed to and in line with the mind of Christ.
With various tailored approaches including guided Scripture meditation, positive reinforcement, direct suggestions and more, we’ll strengthen and anchor thought patterns that are in line with the mind of Christ, and do it in a way that helps you feel fantastic, relaxed and revived.
In the recordings featured here, as well as in any live interactions we may have, whether online or in person, either one to one or in a group setting, you’ll enjoy relaxation, support, encouragement and affirmation to enhance the transformational, mind renewing results you’ll enjoy.
Give yourself the gift of experiencing these…
not only for yourself, but also for the benefit of those around you.
I’ll continue to create and add resources.
I encourage you to come back and utilize them often.
If there’s anything specific you’d like to discuss or topics of personal changes or challenges you’d like to address, you’re welcome to get in touch with me!
I’m also delighted to hear about your progress, so please let me know how it’s going for you.
Peace, joy and blessings from the Lord Jesus Christ to you and yours!

How You Can Best Utilize These Recordings (audio)
These recordings are as easy and convenient to use as they are powerful and transformational.
Because your benefits are designed right into the experience, you don’t really have to do anything except get comfortable, set the volume and follow along.
Please wait to use these programs until your attention is not needed elsewhere.
Also, it’s best not to play them aloud when others nearby need to focus on what they’re doing, like in a moving vehicle or operating machinery.
In these situations, you can always use headsets or earbuds.
Before you begin, it may help to turn off or reduce possible distractions and get into a safe, secure and comfortable place. Seated or lying down, for example.
If something comes up that does require your attention, you’ll simply come to full alertness and effectively take care of whatever you need to.
Then, you can continue or start over, either then, at a later time, or both, whichever works best for you.
During this wonderful experience, you may find that your mind is active and alert at times…
or you may just let it drift and dream and float along effortlessly.
That’s the freedom you have to enjoy.
You’ll always be able to hear and respond to the sound of my voice, and you’ll probably remember about as much as you would from any normal conversation.
The relaxation you’ll experience can take different forms at different times.
For example, you may become aware of a heavy, lethargic feeling.
You might notice a light, floating sensation.
Or, it could seem as if you’re just resting there very comfortably.
Whatever you feel is perfectly fine.
There’s not any one specific feeling we’re after, so you can just let yourself go with the flow and enjoy however you happen to be responding this time…
which may be different from times before or in the future.
If you ever feel the desire or need to move, scratch, or adjust in any way, feel free to do so anytime.
That will just help you to relax even further and enjoy your time and experience even more.
You’ll normally have your eyes closed shortly after we begin, simply to avoid visual distractions and let you focus more on what you’re hearing and feeling.
It’s not critical that you close your eyes, though, so feel free to experiment to see what works best for you.
Most of the recordings will have captions on the videos and the full transcript available.
Feel free to download them to any of your devices, and use the text in the transcript however you choose.
Perhaps, even to make a recording using your own voice or someone else’s.
These are all freely available to be as useful as possible!
One of the objectives is to help you to explore, discover and establish even more control in the areas you choose.
The more often you use the recordings, the more empowering reinforcement you’ll enjoy.
I trust you’ll benefit from these very much!
As always, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions or specific topics you’d like to discuss, please let me know.
I look forward to hearing from you and I wish you all the best!
Love Is…
So You Are…
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind in the attributes of God’s love for you… in you… and through you to others.
This positive and relaxing experience will help you boost the wonderful quality and expression of the love you live in and operate from.
Your time here can be considered a precious gift that you give to yourself and the others in your life.
Based in Scripture and delivered to affirm and strengthen you in your thoughts, speech and actions.
Thank you for stopping by, and please enjoy this wonderful experience.
All the best of God’s peace and blessings to you and yours.
Welcome, and thank you for joining me.
Go ahead and get into a nice, safe, secure and comfortable spot as we begin.
As you do that, I’ll offer a quick reminder not to play this recording when you’re driving or doing anything that requires your full attention.
If anything happens that requires your attention, you’ll quickly and gently return to full awareness and be able to take care of it, peacefully and effectively.
You can then decide if you want to continue from where we were, or perhaps begin again, either from that point or at another time.
Once you’ve gotten into a comfortable position and adjusted the volume to your preferences, we’ll begin to relax your mind and body to allow the Scripture suggestions to have an even more positive impact for you.
Perhaps you’re already beginning to notice yourself feeling a bit more relaxed… more peaceful.
That’s perfectly normal and natural, as you begin and continue to drift even deeper now as we proceed.
You can consider the time we’ll be spending together as a gift that you’re giving yourself and to the others in your life.
The more you experience, enjoy and benefit from these experiences, the more wonderful and fulfilling your life will be and the more abundantly those around you will be able to benefit from and enjoy their interactions with you.
So, know that for this time, you’re right where you should be and you’re doing what is very beneficial for yourself… and for those you love, care about and interact with.
Let’s take some nice, deep breaths together, and as we do, you can simply relax even deeper as you follow along.
As we do, I’d like you to breathe deeply… not expanding up in your chest, but deep down and fully, as if you have a stretchy belt around your waist and you are pressing it out almost as far as you comfortably can with each breath.
Breathe in… and exhale… Good.
Breathe in now… and exhale… Wonderful.
Breathe in deeply… and exhale completely, letting all stress and tension just drain from your mind and body as you focus on your own deep breathing and the sound of my voice.
With each breath you take…
with each word I say…
allowing yourself to drift more and more deeply,
so you can be even more peaceful,
more relaxed,
more calm and serene.
Deep breath in now… and as you exhale, you’re welcome to allow your eyes to drift closed, if they haven’t already.
With your eyes closed down gently, it means that outside visual distractions are a thing of the past, and you can concentrate even more perfectly on my voice and your own, deep, easy breathing.
You may hear other sounds or perceive movements around you, but those help you to focus even more completely and drift even more deeply.
That’s right… good.
During this wonderful experience, you may find that your mind is active and alert at times…
or you may just let it drift and dream and float along effortlessly.
That is the freedom you have and enjoy.
You’ll always be able to hear and respond to the sound of my voice, and you’ll probably remember about as much as you would from any normal conversation.
Now, rather than being a loss of control, this is about helping you explore and establish even more control in the areas that you choose…
in this case, transforming and renewing your mind by aligning your thoughts, speech and actions more fully to the attributes of pure, Godly, Biblical love.
In Romans, Chapter 12, Verse 2, we’re instructed to not be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our mind, so we can live out and express God’s good, pleasing and perfect will for us.
To help you do just that, I’ll be offering some ideas and suggestions to guide you along, and of course, the control is always yours… to whatever extent you want it to be.
Another nice, deep, easy breath in with me…
and exhale completely, letting every muscle in your body go loose, limp and relaxed…
as if you were made from a handful of loose rubber bands.
From the top of your head to the soles of your feet, any tension or stress draining away, which can now leave you feeling even more peaceful, blissful and safe.
You may feel a heavy feeling of relaxation.
You might notice a light, floating sensation.
Or, it might seem as if you’re resting there.
Whatever you feel is perfectly fine.
There’s not any one specific feeling we’re after, so you can just let yourself go with the flow and enjoy however you happen to be responding this time… which may be different from times before or in the future. Good.
Again, there might be some moments where you’re very focused on what I’m saying, and other times your mind may just wander off to something else. That’s okay.
Just allow yourself to relax into the process.
Exploring and discovering that it’s simply a matter of following along and realizing some very easy instructions.
So, if I ask you to imagine something, just imagine that.
If I ask you to think about something, you’ll simply allow your mind to think about that.
Simple, easy and completely free of any stress or pressure.
Also, if you ever feel the need to move, scratch, or adjust, feel free to do so anytime you’d like.
That will just help you to relax even further and enjoy your time and experience even more…
just as you’re already doing now.
Fully immersed in your mind and body and feeling better with every breath… with every word.
For now, freedom to just be enjoying with no cares… no concerns in the world.
Every breath takes you deeper…
and the deeper you go the better you feel
and the better you feel the deeper you want to go.
That’s right.
Very good.
As you continue to drift deeper into your relaxation now, you may recall 1 Corinthians 13, which describes some characteristics of Godly love.
As I quote one Bible version, let yourself imagine the very best of these qualities and attributes describing your own thoughts, words and actions.
As if you were manifesting the very best of these already, as you will from now on.
Let these words sink deeply into your mind as you sink more deeply into this relaxing experience.
Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.
Love never fails.
As you know from 1 John 4:8, the Bible states that God is love.
Remember that with His nature in you as a child of God, you have the same love in you that He has… and that He is.
You can and will express and show His love to yourself and others, because with His nature in you, it’s now normal and natural for you to become more loving each day as you live out all of these wonderful attributes.
Discovering and expressing the love that flows through the Father, Son and Holy Spirit also flows through you continually as you go about your daily life… living as a child of His and an Ambassador of His love for others.
Renewing your mind to now fully agree with His, because 1 Corinthians 2:16 says, “We have the mind of Christ.”
I’m going to give you some direct statements regarding these attributes of God’s love within you.
When I do, I’ll say something like, “You are patient.”
Then, I’ll pause for a moment to let that sink in and anchor deeply in your mind, and also give you an opportunity to respond with a personalized affirmation, if you’d like to.
If you choose to reply, you can gently, either silently or out loud, depending on what is most appropriate in your current context, with the personalized affirmation that matches the direct suggestion, “You are patient,” by saying, “I am patient.”
Each time we do this, your mind will anchor a wonderful and powerful statement to how you think, speak and act…
and you’ll find that today, tomorrow and on into the future that these qualities of Godly love have replaced those old thoughts, speech or behaviors that weren’t aligned with the powerful, Godly nature you have.
When I offer a statement, you can experience and enjoy powerful feelings of happiness, joy and deep pleasure that comes with knowing you are growing and maturing in your Christian life…
and you may allow yourself to experience a surge in the very attribute you’re proclaiming.
So, in this example, when I say, “You are patient,” you can imagine and experience a lovely feeling of patience flowing all throughout your mind and body, and deeply enjoy just how wonderful that feels.
The peace and pleasure that comes with being patient and knowing you are thinking, speaking and acting in a way that pleases God.
Each statement I make about you…
each positive profession you choose to make about yourself…
becoming more and more powerful…
more pure and Godly…
more fully manifested in all you think, say and do.
As we continue, let’s take a nice, deep breath in…
and exhale completely, drifting even deeper and more wonderfully…
and letting the truth of God’s Words become your thoughts and expressed reality.
You are patient.
Wonderful.
Allow those lovely thoughts and feelings and pleasures of patience to flow through your mind and body now.
That’s right. Good.
And drift even more deeply relaxed and peaceful now.
You are kind.
And now feel that deep kindness for yourself and others flowing in you and through you.
You are caring.
Caring for yourself and for others and noticing how good that feels now.
You celebrate the blessings of others.
And the more you celebrate the blessings of others, the more you enjoy and celebrate your own.
You are helpful.
It feels so good to you to be helpful in a loving, Godly way.
Perhaps even now your mind recalls some times you were helpful to others and you can relive those rewarding experiences and feelings.
Maybe you think of an opportunity to be helpful to someone today or tomorrow or very soon, and that fills you with anticipation and joy.
You are compassionate.
That loving concern that flows through you is such a benefit to those you share it with.
You are understanding.
That’s right.
Considering others and being diligent to understand and show empathy, support and compassion.
You are disciplined and self-controlled.
Mastery of yourself… your thoughts… your words… your emotions and your actions.
That sense of self discipline and self-control is growing stronger and anchoring in more deeply even now.
Notice that wonderful feeling all through your mind and body of being in control of yourself, and because you are self-controlled, you’re able to respond, more and more, day by day, in any situation with control over yourself, your body, your mind no matter what may be happening.
Such an amazing and empowering experience, and it grows stronger with every breath, with every day, with every interaction. Very good.
You are strong.
He has given you a spirit of power and love and a strong mind.
You are humble.
As you feel that strength in your mind and body now, letting it flow freely in you and from you, you find it easy to be humble in that strength, power and wisdom knowing that they are free gifts from God for you to have, enjoy and share with others.
You are honoring and respectful.
Knowing how much God loves people, it’s easy for you to honor and respect Him and His creation.
That honor and respect is evident to yourself and to others as they enjoy time with you, and you with them.
You are forgiving.
Knowing that, through Christ Jesus, He has forgiven you empowers and motivates you to be even more forgiving toward others.
You rejoice in truth.
Jesus said that He IS the truth, and your life is in Him, and His life is in you…
all of which can be a continual cause for rejoicing for you.
You live in righteousness.
As 2 Corinthians 5:21 tells us, we have become the righteousness of God in Him.
Because you are in Him through faith, you live in His righteousness, and His righteousness lives in you.
You are honest and truthful.
You speak the truth in love… with courage and power and empathy.
Honest and truthful, just as Christ Jesus is.
You are hopeful and optimistic.
Knowing that the Creator of the universe knows you and has the best in mind for you strengthens your abiding faith, hope and love.
You are persevering.
Because His spirit lives in you, you have a continual source of power to live the life He wants you to live and has called you to enjoy.
You are enduring and steadfast.
Feeling even more loyal, secure and steadfast in your heart and mind, the wonderful feelings of strength flow through every muscle, nerve and joint in your body with each breath… with each word.
You are faithful.
Faithful to God and His will and calling on your life.
Faithful to the strength, resources and Holy Spirit He has given you.
Faithful to Him because of the sacrifice He made to reconcile you to your Heavenly Father.
Faithful to His Word that He has written on the tablet of your heart… and in the renewing of your mind.
You are valuable.
That’s right. Cherished and valued by God with a special place in His eternal Kingdom.
You are loved.
Take a nice, deep breath in now, and let the feelings of being loved flow freely within you.
Let your imagination create those wonderful sensations of being loved completely and unconditionally.
The amazing feelings flowing in your mind and your body as the revelation and truth of His love for you becomes even more powerful within you now.
You are important.
That’s right. Important to God and to others… even people you don’t know personally.
The fact that you are alive on this planet means you have value and importance, and knowing that can cause you to realize how wonderful it feels to have that value acknowledged now.
With a nice, deep breath in, just let yourself fill and flood with a deep and humble sense of being valuable and important.
You are confident.
Bold and strong and confident as His love and power are yours and His eye is always on you to guide and empower you in every moment of life. He will never leave you nor forsake you, and that brings a supernatural confidence that you enjoy and share humbly with others.
You are filled with faith… hope… and love.
They abide with you and in you for all eternity.
Very good.
As all of these wonderful feelings, thoughts and statements continue to flow in and around your mind and body now, you’ll also continue to feel them as we wrap up this session… and well beyond…
Each and every time we interact together, whether it be online, in person, over the phone, with a recording, or some other type of communication, you’ll enjoy these same beautiful and powerful effects both during...
and in between our interactions.
The powerful, positive suggestions and experiences will continue to reverberate within your mind and body in the most pleasant and appropriate ways, and always with the most empowering and helpful effects for you.
Any of our future work together will be even more pleasant and powerful, and will serve your needs and desired outcomes as well.
That’s right. You’re doing wonderfully.
And this is interesting.
Over the next few days, longer if you like, you’ll start to notice the color red.
Of all things, the color red.
The color red, red, red, red.
That color, red, is going to begin to stick out, stand out, and shine out just a little bit brighter as a reinforcement...
as a reminder of all the things you’ve enjoyed now...
and all that you’ll accomplish from this point forward.
Whether that color red is as small as a fingernail polish, as common as a stop sign, a stop light, the tail lights of a car in front of you, or as big as a building or a billboard...
even the red letters you may see while you’re reading…
that color red will seem just a bit more vibrant as a reminder of everything wonderful you’ve experienced here and all that you will accomplish this point forward.
It’s not a reminder to have to do anything when you see the color red, in fact you might not even notice it any differently, yet deep
down within your subconscious mind, that color red will be at work reinforcing and reminding you of all these wonderful feelings and powerful feelings and how much enjoyment you’ve had and will continue to have…
and how easy it is to think, speak and act from a mind renewed and immersed in the Biblical, Godly attributes of love.
In a moment I’ll count from 1 to 5.
Not yet, but on the count of 5, you’ll emerge from this experience completely and feel alive, alert, refreshed and fantastic in every way.
You’re glad to know that from this point forward, every time you listen to this or any other helpful recording of mine, it will be easier and quicker for you to enter this wonderful relaxed mental and physical state… deeper and more perfectly every time…
and you will always be able to hear and respond to my suggestions wonderfully…
which makes you so happy and confident to know that your imagination and mind are working perfectly well.
That’s right… good.
1… Allow a natural energy to flow through your body and mind as you begin your emerging process from this wonderful state.
2… The color red working perfectly, deep in your mind as such a powerful reminder and reinforcement from now on of what you’ve explored, discovered and enjoyed here.
3… So glad you’ve had this experience and already compounding your pleasures and results while you look forward to enjoying even more in the near future…
and for now emerging a bit more with each breath…
with each word…
with each sound.
4… Feeling physically perfect, mentally perfect, emotionally calm and serene…
as if your eyes were being washed in a crystal clear brook or stream…
5… All the way back to the surface now.
Refreshed, alert and awake and feeling wonderful in every way.
So happy and content that your mind works so well,
and, perhaps, already looking forward to our next interaction and experience.
Fantastic! Congratulations!!
You’ve done wonderfully!
I’m looking forward to hearing from you about your experience and success!
Peace, joy and blessings from the Lord Jesus Christ to you and yours!
