Brainwashing Can Be Good when God's Word Cleanses Our Minds

Brainwashing is a negative term that normally means deceiving a person or forcing them to believe things that aren't true. 

But I'd like to put a positive spin on the word because it's what we all need spiritually. Instead of being deceived, we need to overcome the deception in and around us.

Our fallen human thinking needs to be "washed"—cleansed of soiled thoughts, grimy attitudes, dirty doubts, and filthy fears. 

We cleanse our minds and spirits through reading and studying God's Word and letting His truth remove our corrupted thoughts and desires (Ephesians 4:22-24).

"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" (Romans 12:2).

When we let God's Word "brainwash" us, we can:

1. Tell ourselves the truth
2. Avoid negative thoughts
3. Forget past offenses 
4. Deal with adversity
5. Overcome discouragement
6. Count our blessings
7. Gain a gratitude attitude
