DO YOU HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST?


DO YOU  HAVE  THE  MIND  OF  CHRIST?!

On a night of March, I heard God ministering to my heart.
 
The LORD said to me.

                   “In all that-the way how you think and the way how you
                      do things, make your whole motives right with me.”

It is all about the motives behind the things I do, what matters most to God is my heart.
As I went on wondering what is it all about, I asked the Lord to deepen this knowledge
to me.  And the LORD opened my eyes to this understanding:

He gave me these two scriptures:

          
       “To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD
       comes the reply of the tongue. All man’s ways seem innocent
       to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD  (Prov.16:1-2)

 
        “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
                     (Isa.43:18)  

 

The LORD brought me to read the book of Haggai:

 
In the old time, God’s Glory used to appear in temple built by men with careful instructions from the man of God. But in the New Testament, God said He is coming to live in us and we are His habitation.

IN THE BOOK OF HAGGAI:  AS FOR TODAY, GOD CALLS US TO PREPARE FOR HIS GLORY TO BE REVEALED IN US.

As for today Haggai 1:2-  We thought that there will still be time…. enjoying, living our own lives…The LORD will not be back so soon….thinking that we still have time for repentance.  Instead of preparation, we have burdened God with our sins and wearied Him with our offenses all the more.

Haggai 1:3-4-  The LORD asks: Where will be my resting place? 
                                 Where is the house you will build for me? (Isa.66:1)
                                  God is looking for a PURE HEART / BLAMELESS SOUL!!

Haggai 1:5-11-  When we lust/pursue after the things of this world…we can
                           never feel like we have enough…we will never be able to experience
                           satisfaction/contentment.    
                           Because the LORD will not permit it. (read Col.3:1-11)  

Haggai 1:8-   God calls us to produce good fruit (righteousness) instead of bad fruit   
                      (wickedness)  in all our conducts so that He can come and manifest  
                      His glorious presence in us.  READ PSALM 24-  THE COMING   
                      BACK OF THE RISEN KING. – Who will be that has prepared?!!

 
When we are willing to repent of all our sins, the LORD is eager to assist us and give us victory over all those false gods (anything that we used to adore, admire or worship and has taken the place of  THE TRUE LIVING GOD in

our HEARTS and in our lives ). – Haggai 1:12-15, 2:1-5

 
Haggai 2:6, 22 -  God is doing the shaking already/now.  He calls us to ready for His Glory. Prepare a whole pure heart for Him, a whole blameless body for His Glory to manifest. And in the end, only those who have repented of all their sins and have consecrated their whole body and mind to Yeshua/Jesus Christ will remain.

 Haggai 2:23 – God promises to give us His Spirit as a guarantee/seal to us for eternal life. (Acts1:4-5, Eph.1:13-14)

 

  May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through.
  May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming
  of the Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thes.5:23)

 
   OUR  JOURNEY

 
            THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION;
                  THE OLD HAS GONE, THE NEW HAS COME! (2 Cor.5:17)

The earth is just used as a testing place for us, simply a school to get certificate to examine our motives and determine our destination.

Our result is based on the kind of spiritual fruits we produce/own/ possess.
 

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” (Isa.43:18)

 
        Let go of all your anxiety and want. Put your trust completely in the LORD and find out what is the LORD’s will for you and seek Him to fulfill His purpose in your life.

        Do not dwell in the past – offense; hurt; shame; abandonment; loneliness; rejection; failure; abuse; ill-treatment;  loss of time, reputation, dream, wishes, love ones etc..- Dwelling upon all these pasts might set us to make a wrong choice which only leads us to sins (vengeance/revenge, hatred, anger, resentment, controlling)  in many circumstances in our lives. Let it all be gone and bygone. –Read Isa. 54:4-10  

         Let go of all your fear and only think of whatever is true, noble, pure, lovely and admirable – Anything that is exceptional and praiseworthy. Dwell on hope, live in love and always follow the path of peace. And do not go back into slavery again, for God has not called us to suffer wrath, but to come into the knowledge of the Holy One who can either destroy the soul or give eternal life.

          The LORD never gives us difficult task personally.  That is only from our own ego. The LORD just wants us to have a good relationship with Him and to be a good witness for the Gospel/Kingdom of Righteousness. He simply wants us to make peace with Him from our heart.

           Walk in the way of Divine Love – On earth we need to learn and enter into this understanding (the revelation of the Father’s Love) so that we will not get lost (lost in the past or present want).  Only in His Love will we find liberty, joy and peace.  We are created by LOVE  Himself.  Our highest calling is to learn to love as the Divine Loves.

           It is only LOVE that opens our eyes to see… it is LOVE that brings understanding into our hearts to know the truth. It is only LOVE that has the power to set us free – free from all bondages (lies and deception).  It is LOVE that gives us the power to FORGIVE and live in FREEDOM !!

          LOVE is the GREATEST of them ALL !!  In all things we do, may it be motivated by Love – Every thought, in all our thinking, imagination, conduct and desire, should be inspired by the LORD’S LOVE and the Mind of Christ. ( Lean not on our own understanding).

         If we want to be in eternity – That is LOVE. Life is LOVE and created by LOVE. When there is abundant Love overflowing within our hearts – We would live forever and ever because eternity is in men’s heart. ( GOD IS LOVE )

 

  
He has made everything beautiful in its time. he has also set eternity in the hearts of men;
yet they cannot fathom what God has done from the beginning to end. (Job 3:11)



THE AGES TO COME!

 
            Jesus said to her, “l am the resurrection and the life.

            He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;

            and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.

            Do you believes this?” (John 11:25-26)

 

God made us alive in Christ. He forgave all our sins and disclosed to all his true followers of Christ the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.    Col.1:26-27

 
Old Testament (Natural)  -- New Testament (Spiritual)  --  New Heaven and Earth (Eternal)

We are on the transformation/transition from Spiritual to Eternal.  

We have/need to consecrate/commit to train ourselves  to work out our salvation so as to change from glory to glory to the level that we can walk up to the sky/eternity.

Our flesh shall decay, human body does not last forever. But whoever has the Spirit of the eternal God shall live forever.

    12No one has ever seen God;  but if we love one another, God lives in us 
     and his love is made complete in us. 13We know that we live in him and
      he in us, because he has given us his Spirit. (1 John 4:12-13)

 

Eternity must be led by the Spirit – dwelling with all those past error will bring us nowhere except leading us into deception, read Psalm 37, what and how we think is who we are for our destiny. To get rid of those thought (lies and wickedness) is to renew our mind with the truth (The living words of God).

When our mind is renewed and we have the mind of Christ, every motive behind all that we do, there will be no hypocrisy, selfishness, evil or wickedness. It does not oppress others Rom.13:10.
 
To cross over to eternity requires us to be in a higher level, for it is only a pure heart that can see God !  Where we need the Spirit to show us the way to enter in.  And the only way is through LOVE. The requirement is to walk humbly and in love with your God.

 

      2Jesus said, “In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were
      not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a
                place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will   
                come back  and take you to be with me that you also may be   
         where I am. (John 14;2-3)

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father accept through me. (John 14:7)

           May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love   
               and Christ’s perseverance. (2 Thes.3:5)

 
God is Love!!

 Jer. 17:9-10
We need to give careful thought to all our ways because when God judge us, He will not see our works but our hearts.

All laws have passed away. The new is here.
