In his letter to the Roman believers, the Apostle Paul shared the key to being Christ-like and to releasing the spiritual power received from God at the time of the new birth. It is "renewing one's mind," which is holding God's Word in mind and acting accordingly. (keytopower.22web.org)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2
As Paul lived the Word he was teaching, renewing his mind, he preached and taught boldly and evidenced the power of the holy spirit in a remarkable way.
… so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus… And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul. Acts 19:10,11
In his further letters written to the believers of his day, but applicable to all born-again and faithful believers in this, the age of grace, Paul wrote:
Be ye followers [immitators] of me, even as I also am of Christ. I Corinthians 1:11
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4:9
As the believers of the first century did, we can faithfully renew our minds to the Word of God. As we do, we are living as God intends and will see the power of the holy spirit in our lives, as Paul did.
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. Philippians 2:16
