I can tell you that the true test of learning is application.

2 Timothy 3:16 tells us, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

Ask for the grace and boldness to be not merely a hearer of His Word, but a doer, that you might truly be wise and build your house upon Christ, the rock.

Matthew 7:24-25 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

So be vigilant in your study to take a posture of willingness to hear and obey God. The heart that seeks to please the Father and treasures the relationship with Him above all will not only receive revelation that renews the mind, but will pursue the purpose of that revelation and partner with God to see His will done.
The main principle behind the process of renewing our minds is that we become like that which we behold. We are not renewing our minds to have good thoughts; we are seeking to see Him as He is so we can become like Him. When we become like Him, we will do the things He is doing and say what He is saying.
We can only behold Jesus by having a living encounter with Him.
