PUT ON THE MIND OF CHRIST!

“The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD —”
Isaiah 11:2 NIV

Here, Isaiah is talking about the mind of Christ. Jesus is the mind of Christ, and this is the focus in this verse. The mind of Christ is what enables us to do the will if God and be like Jesus. But many of us refuse to put on the mind of Christ, because we are carnal. If you are still ruled by your five senses, you are indirectly refusing to put on the mind of Christ. When we put on the mind of Christ, we become extraordinary Christ beings. But we still act like mere humans! In fact, Paul said this same thing too, in 1 Corinthians chapter 3: “Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ.

You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?”
1 Corinthians 3:1, 3 NIV

We still live on what we hear, see and think. This is where we act like mere humans, instead of the amazing, extraordinary being Christ has made us. Put on the mind of Christ!

We try to control God  thinking we know best, when God does. But if the Holy Spirit lives in us, patience live in us too, because it is of the Spirit (Gal  5:22 ). We have everything we ever need or ever will need - the only thing you have to do is activate it. The power in the name of Jesus, as soon as you activate it, is ready and available to use. Anyone can say Jesus, but they can't use its power because it's either:  A) not given to them or  B) they don't believe.  What can I do to activate the power?  To activate this power, you need faith and full relying on God. No matter what, even in temptation. You see, a Christian's life is one with more temptation. But that's good - because:  A) We overcome them all!  B) It's when we show and display J...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...
