The Beginning of the Journey

This is where the journey begins. Ten years ago, I was given the prophetic admonition to study the mind of Christ, and to focus on renewing my mind. Five years ago, God told me to attend the university of Lennard Darbee (my deceased healing evangelist grandfather), which I immediately understood to mean that I should study all the notes and taped sermons I had collected in storage from his ministry.

It is 2007. I am 30 years old, and have yet to really complete these tasks. So, in tandem with posting Lennard’s sermons on LennardDarbee.com, this website will be the place I focus my thoughts and pursue renewal of my mind.

For years, I desperately wanted to be transformed. I came to Christ one month before my 19th birthday. The next few years proved to me that although I am a new creation, I also am in need of daily sanctification. My mind was not automatically renewed in all beliefs and truths. I still believed things that were not true and hurt people’s feelings with my careless judgments all the time.

“But be transformed by the renewing of your mind” is a ridiculous and amazing statement to make. I can be transformed, but apparently not without renewing my mind. After years of college and marriage, I am finally mentally and spiritually ready to approach mind renewal.

I want to be like him. I want to be holy as he is holy. I want to love as he loves. I want to change people’s lives with my unearthly love. To do that, my thoughts must be renewed. My brain must form new grooves as my thoughts focus upon new types of information.

Thanks for coming along for the trip. I’ll try not to bore you.
