For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?
But we have the mind of Christ.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
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.
Rom. 8:6, 1 Co. 2:1-16, Ro. 12:1-2 KJV
From Death to Life
Our thoughts are death: God’s mind is Life.
The instant you were born of God that truth hit you between the eyes.
This was the Real Thing!
Every thought you had before you met God, was spiritual death dressed up as life.
But now you had come from foetid darkness, through the door of Christ, into Father’s pristine palace radiant with His glory and love.
You were awestruck, hardly daring to believe it was real: But it was, and for eternity will remain.
Praise The LORD for His lovingkindness to the work of His Hands.
Grace, grace, God’s grace
Grace that is greater than all my sin.
If it were not so, how could we ever be allowed here into His Presence?
God’s Teacher
Oh how we need the Baptism in the Holy Ghost to teach us all things, to give us Father’s thoughts, and lead us to renew our thinking in accord with Our Maker, and present to us the mind of Christ.
This is no mere intellectual understanding, no rote-learning process, this is not ‘reasoning from scripture’ as the JW-cult revels in, twisting the letter to suit their perverted teachings: No, this is far deeper than any human can ever teach you.
This is the Holy Ghost in your heart, God Himself leading your spirit in righteousness and perfect truth.
This is The Divine Teacher, this is truly depending upon Christ in us.
Men will lead you into error: The Holy Ghost always points to the Living Truth.
The Teacher Within
He’s there in your heart, if you have been born of God: Christ in you, your hope of glory.
He’s there inside, once you have believed on Christ, and received Him as your LORD.
Listen to Him.
Attend to His rhema’d word to your heart.
He’s always in harmony with the written word: The KJV in English.
That is perfect revelation: You have heard from God directly.
Now What Will You Do?
Hold onto your dead thoughts, or renew your mind in accordance with His words of Life?
He always leaves you the choice.
The wise say without hesitation, Yes LORD: It is so, Amen!
You begin to do it, no matter what the circumstances, regardless of feelings and fears.
Then Father fulfils His word on Earth, as it is in Heaven.
This is how to be spiritually minded, and share the mind of Christ.
Now Father can use you to prove His Will.
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.
