“Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.”
We have the mind of Christ and the mind of Christ existed before creation. He was wisdom. He was the word.
“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.”
The mind of Christ is indivisible, inseparable, wholeness a whole being.
To know God does not refer just to knowledge, cognitive, understanding educationally, it is to know His whole being. We yield our heart to His to know His mind, heart, emotions thoughts and they fashion us to becoming as Him.
Seemingly there is no translation for the mind as we in western culture perceive it identified for knowledge and educational development. Instead it was the connected whole being of a person.
It is that whole being that has its connection in God and can therefore reflect who God is. Having the mind of Christ implicates our mind, body and soul. Our whole life. What gives us life.
A strategy of the enemy is to fragment what is connected together resulting in turmoil. Only realigned do we rest in the place of peace and find joy as we were originally intended.
To be one in spirit and body is the key to connecting us to heaven on earth. Our mind is a doorway into the Spiritual. In the end times more will spiritually see both kingdoms and know more fully the wisdom.
“And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
For now we readjust our mindset to operate as something more than learnt knowledge and understanding. Discernment comes from this place of knowing what is unknown. The mind is uncapped and extended releasing a greater freedom.
Freedom of mind and thought is like removing the bandages from eyes that have been blind and unable to see.
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
We are called to be fully human but to engage with divinity and to set our minds on things above.
“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.”
Jesus takes us and leads us into a place of safety and Shalom . To be vessels of love to pour out to bring healing.
“For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.”
The illustration shows the freedom as the bindings of the enemy are removed that have blinded us to the mind a of Christ. The light emanating to push back the darkness.
