1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
The mind of Christ positions us the believer to operate in a higher realm; it transforms us into a supernatural entity to command the same result as Christ does during his earthly ministry. God says in the book of Isaiah 55:9 (For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater): His thought produces great results the same way every good thought that goes through our mind as his seeds are meant to produce a greater result. We are ordained to produce greater results than he produces only if we follow his commandment but we can only follow his instruction when we have his mind (John 14:12). At redemption we submit our mind to him for transformation, that is why God says Proverbs 23:26 (My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways). As believers, we are all expected to have the mind of Christ because that is what makes us true followers of Christ. Heaven's agenda is to transform our minds until we become a complete image of Christ. When we give our lives to Christ, we submit our minds to him for complete transformation. When the scribes and the ruler in Jerusalem saw a sudden transformation in the life of Peter and the rest of the Apostles they recognized that they were with Christ. If you have been with Christ for several years and you are still not commanding what he was commanding while he was here on earth then you need to work harder. Acts 4:13 (Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus). Although transformation is a process, we cannot afford to be stuck in one stage without making progress. Even Christ goes through the same transformation process. Luke 2:40 (And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him). John the Baptist also went through the same process of transformation; Luke 1:80 (And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel). The spirit of God is the activator of our changing process
2 Corinthians 5:17 (Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new). If you refuse to let the old things pass and embrace the new thing your transformation will not be in view. The Bible says until you turn to the Lord and submit your heart to him for transformation the veil over your heart will remain there and you will not see clearly. Until the Spirit of liberty gains entrance into your soul you cannot be set free; you will remain in bondage but that will not be you, in Jesus' name.
2 Corinthians 3:15 (But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord).
Romans 12:2 (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).
A corrupt mind cannot receive from God, he can only instruct those who have his mind because it is spirit-to-spirit communication. It is the spirit of God in you that will prepare you for the transformation to the point of perfection. When you know the will of God for you the grace to run the race will be released upon you and if your mind is not renewed how would you get access to his inner sanctum to know his will for you? Your agreement with the world has automatically made you an enemy of God, and two cannot walk together unless they agree. If you agree to let the old man in you go and accept the new man which is Christ inside of you he will position you for a glorious future. The mind of Christ is a promise that God made to His people; Ezekiel 36:26 (A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them). He also said that you should repent and receive a new heart and, that why should you die in your sin; that he takes no pleasure in your death. Friends, God is committed to his promise if you surrender your heart to him for transformation by letting the old man in you go and accept the mind of Christ by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus' name.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
