How To Use The Mind Of Christ

By: Chris Chandler

Whose mind do you use...yours or God's? There is quite a difference in the two. Our mind is limited, but God's mind is unlimited (Ps. 147:5). God wants us to use His wisdom and His knowledge because it is so vast. We need to rely on the mind of Christ.

The Holy Spirit Is Our Connection

I Cor. 2:9

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him" but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

We cannot depend on our natural senses to understand what God wants us to do. We shouldn't rely on what we see, hear, or think. We need to walk by faith, not by sight. We need to be led by the Spirit at all times.

The Spirit of God searches all things, even the deep things of God. God wants to show us great and mighty things that we do not know (Jer. 33:3). All we have to do is call upon Him and He will give us the Spirit without limit (John 3:34).

1 Cor. 2:11-13

For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.

This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

The Holy Spirit knows the very thoughts of God. The Spirit is like a phone line from Heaven that connects us to God. All we have to do is listen. Jesus made this powerful line of communication with heaven possible when He sent us the Holy Spirit.

 

We Have The Mind Of Christ

John 16:13-15

But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.

He will bring glory to Me by taking from what is Mine and making it known to you.

All that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is Mine and make it known to you.

We have the mind of Christ because we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. The Holy Spirit teaches us all things, even the deep things of God. God wants to reveal Himself to us in mighty ways. All we have to do is to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's voice. Ask to be filled to overflowing with the Holy Spirit and you will gain access to the unlimited, all-knowing, eternal mind of Christ.

"For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

1 Cor. 2:16
