Every born again Christian passes a regenerated, anointed and sound mind. Your mind is regenerated because the bible clearly says, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature and old things are passed away (2 Cor 5:7). That newness affects the three dimensions of your being-spirit, soul and body.
A regenerated mind is the opposite of a reprobate mind. Reprobate means depraved or spiritually unproductive. That is what unbelievers have, and that explains why no matter how intelligent they may be, they still stoop down to do some very silly things.
The bible also tells us that the wisdom of this word amounts to nothing, when compared to the wisdom of God (1 Cor 2:6). As far as God is concerned, what the world has is zero compared to what redemption offers the believers. However, despite the zero mentality, unbelievers have managed to succeed in many areas of life. We should do much more with the loaded minds we have.
Every born again Christian who goes a step further to be baptized in the holy ghost not only has a regenerated mind, he also has an anointed mind. When the Holy Spirit comes upon a man, he makes him "of quick understanding". The Holy Spirit fertilizes the mind, enhancing its ability to comprehend deep things. With the winning combination of a regenerated, anointed and sound mind, what more does anyone need to excel! That is to say, you have three times more than what an unbeliever has, so you have what it takes to beat the world. God expects greater result from you.
