No Longer Walking in the Vanity of Your Mind

Topic of discussion is "No Longer Walking in the Vanity of Your Mind" Ephesians 4:17

Walking in the vanity of one's mind simply means that we are trying to live for God without having a renewed mind. In other words living for God based upon our own interpretation of God based upon tradition of men, upbringing, bias opinons...etc. If we have not been transformed and submitted to the Way of the Cross daily by exhibiting faith, then it is impossible to live for Him and experience victory.

What I'm finding in the Body of Christ is our refusal to allow God to conform us to His Image. This means that because our ways aren't His Ways and our thought process is contrary to His, that we like Jacob are wrestling with God to stay the same. We don't want the Lord to change our habits, routines, ways of thinking, religious traditions....etc. We like Peter are trying to follow Christ but not applying the Cross in our Walk/Living for Him. In order to live for Him, we must obey His Word so that we can grow up to become a perfect/mature man/woman of God.
