Hello everyone,
Growing up in Christ Jesus is an amazing experience as you are not growing up the way the world is but in a supernatural way. The moment you received Jesus into you, you received His Spirit, in other words, your Spirit was replaced with the new Spirit which is His very Spirit. Yes, you’ve heard this several times, but that’s not where I’m going. As we now know, we are Spirit beings who possess a soul and live in a body. The Spirit was the only part which was changed, which is the most important part of our transformation. It is then left to us to groom our soul where our mind, will, and emotions dwell to conform to the new Spirit, which in turn would affect our body. Thus, the more our soul submit to the Spirit, the more the Spirit gain access to the body by manifesting His presence there. But today, let’s focus a little at the Spirit of Truth we have received, shall we?
1 Corinthians 2:16 says, “For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.” AMP. No one before the coming of Jesus had ever understood the purposes or counsel of God, just as the prophet said, His ways are not our ways, neither are His thoughts our thoughts. But the moment we receive Jesus who is God into us, it was God who we received into us, and as such we have Him living in us, (I don’t think you got that), let me elaborate further.
The Spirit we received as we may think is just occupying the Spiritual space that was there before, but the Spirit we receive is a whole person we received, in other words, we received the Godhead as a whole, His mindset, what His thoughts are, His feelings and purpose, all these in the Spirit. This implies that our Spirit is so loaded that we haven’t even scratched the surface yet in manifesting Him here on earth. Colossians 2:9-10 says, “For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily form [giving complete expression of the divine nature]. 10 And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power].” AMP. This is deep, I’m jumping on my seat right now with so much excitement.
We have our own mind which dwells in our soul, but this is very much different from the mind of Christ found in His Spirit. As we walk with Him, we get transformed as our soul starts to submit to Him then His mind starts to become our mind, His will starts to become ours, and His emotions starts to become our emotion, and this affects our body directly as we see His fullness start manifesting in our bodies. This is where the transformation of the last day begins, and not when Jesus comes back alone, the reason for this is because we now have His very existence, we have no life but His. Our bodies start to reflect Him as we live. This is the truth and we must believe to express His presence here on earth.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
