Part 2 The Mind

In this study, we're dealing with, the mind. And we heard the words, "the body doesn't lie". I received many responses, agreeing with those words.  In this part, I want to deal with the mind and how it affects the body.

     "no man can do...."  

Many people have built their beliefs on this scripture. They wait for Father to do everything, AGAIN, believing, that they have no part to play in the plan that Father has laid.(which is for us to manifest His Image on earth). They pray and pray and ask Father to do all that will bring this plan about, and they wait. And wait. And wait.

The first thing that I want to say, regarding the above scripture is, that at the time that Jesus spoke those words, they were true, and still are. MAN can do nothing. Everything that had to be done, back in Jesus' day, was dependant on God doing it, because when Jesus spoke those words, HE WAS STILL UNDER THE LAW.  HE HAD NOT DIED AND RESURRECTED.  When He resurrected and FATHER came to dwell in us, HIS HOUSE, that changed us from MAN to NEW CREATURES. This makes all the difference of how we are to think!!  Those in Jesus' day could do nothing, THIS IS NOT TRUE OF US!!

You see, we were created out of the very substance that God is.  Our Spirit is saved, it always has been;  God cannot change and neither can our Spirit. Because  we are as He is, Spirit, HIS SPIRIT.

We have never been separated from Him! What was separated has been LIGHT AND DARKNESS!  We ARE what we have always been.

        1) Created in HIS IMAGE. (whether we have manifested it fully or not).
        2) Spirit Beings created out from within HIS VERY BEING, SPIRIT.

The mind IS the soul. It's where the emotions, desires, will, and learning center is. The mind is what controls the flesh body. The carnal mind has had us to listen, believe, and live its lies. The carnal mind  has had us to believe that we are puny, weak, stupid, and powerless MAN.  The sad thing is, is that there are those that  REFUSE to grasp what can't be seen.

I want to look at some of Father's Truths, and what we've believed.

What is Father?  He is creator. (Gen 1:1)  He thought a thought; He spoke that thought; and His Holy Spirit brought that thought that He spoke, into manifestation.

Col. 1:19, "For it pleased the Father that in Him should all the fullness dwell."
It pleases Father that all the fullness should dwell in us. He is no respector of person.

John 1:16, " AND OF HIS FULLNESS HAVE ALL WE RECEIVED, and grace for grace."
This is Father's ANOINTED TRUTH.

1John 4:17, "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. (or in this present arrangement."

Now, you can believe what you want to believe, because of what you physical eyes see. As for me, these 3 scriptures tell me that I CREATE!  How do I create?  The first step is a thought. The second step is speaking that thought. These words bring forth the life of that thought.

Prov 23:7, "For as a man thinketh in his heart  (MIND), so is he."

MT. 12:34, "...out of the abundance of the heart (MIND), the mouth speaks.."

Prov 18:21, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

What I create depends on which MIND I am thinking from and speaking from. IF the results produces LIGHT AND LOVE, I am using the Mind of Christ. If the resuldt produces DARKNESS, FEAR and HURT, I am using the carnal mind. ANYTHING contrary to Father's Truths are from the carnal mind.  ANYTHING from the carnal mind is WHOREDOM!  Spiritually speaking, whoredom is any word or act CONTRARY to God's Word and Nature.  We've ALL lived the fife of the "whore". And it has affected our body, thoughts, and lives. Focusing on the thought that this flesh body IS US, is WHOREDOM. The body IS NOT US!

Acts 17:28-29, "For in Him we live, move and have OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also His offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and MAN'S devices.
We HAVE, not will have, our very being in Him. When we move, it is HIM moving. And don't think that He doesn't move into what MAN considers "right or wrong", because we are told, "the steps of a rightous man is directed by Him..". When we breath, He breaths, actually, I have this said BACKWARDS,  When HE breaths , He breaths in this body that we reside in. It's Him moving, His BEING, it is HIS VERY LIFE!! In this fleah body.

Col. 3:3-4, "For ye are DEAD, and your life is hid WITH CHRIST (Father's Life) in God. When Christ, who is our life shall appear then shall ye also appear with him in glory."

There is a difference in bien "in Christ" and "Christ in you". They are NOT the same thing. In fact, one is a higher diminsion, than the other.

"Christ in you", comes in you, as Galatians put it, as a seed. That seed in , as Paul says, "I travail in birth til Christ be formed in you."  Christ in you, comes as a deposit, as a seed. I don't like to use the word "deposit", because God has always been there, but, for lack of a better word, I'll use it. But, as that incorruptible see grows, it grows to the point that it gets bigger than you. It's IN you, but, it grows and gets bigger than you. Once it gets bigger than you, it illuminates on the outside and then YOU are IN Christ.  It starts as "Christ in you" , but then it explodes as you grow in the Word, in the anointing, the wisdom and the revelation. Christ gets bigger than you and OUT GROWS YOU.  

While I'm on the subject of anointing; I've heard it taught that the "unction" that God says we have, is a "different anointing".  Folks, Folks, there is only ONE anointing!! That anointing may be used in different areas, but, there is ONE ANOINTING. Ok, let's go on.

Christ gets bigger until HE is all that is seen. That's what Isiah meant when he said, "Arise, shine, for your light has come and the  glory of the Lord IS UPON you."  We come to the place where Christ is seen on us as well as IN us.  At this lace, we SHOULD know that we are NO LONGER< MAN.  We SHOULD know who we are!  Amen!  And we need to know that without  Christ IN us, there willnot be "you in Christ."  When we are "you in Christ", we are Father's Chris, on earth.  (remember what the word Churst, means).

Notice in Rom 8:1, it does not say "there is now no condemnation for Christ in you"; it says, "no condemnation to those who are in Christ."  We need to realize that one is the Outer Court, the other is the Holy Place.

And as we realize the PRESENT REALITY of who we are, there's no way that we can regard ourselves as "just a man".  We have lost that identity and have a new identity.

Yes, , MAN can do nothing. and IF you are still regarding yourself as MAN, you are thinking out of the carnal mind, and there will be no change in your body, thoughts or lives and you'll go to the grave with your thoughts.  That may sound hard, but, it's true.

The mind has to come out of the past and out of the future.  It must be in the PRESENT of what Fathr tells us. IF we keep our mind in the past, we'll never see a future; and if we keep our mind in the future, we'll never REALIZE the PRESENT!!  We must realize that what Jesus did (past tense) at Calvary and what He accomplished for us, IS FIXED; it's PERMENANT.  It's not what MAN messed up, it's what HE DID!  There is no time except PRESENT, where His accomplishments are concerned.  Take it or leave it, it's the Truth.  And it was done BEFORE the foundation of the world. (Rev 13:8)  and it is manifested as we accept HIS TRUTHS instead of MAN'S waiting and waiting and waiting.   

Folks will say, "oh yes, I believe that God's Work is finished", but THEN, they turn around and wait for HIM to redo it.  While all the time, HE is waiting for US to walk into that finished work.   How is this done?  BY THE MIND, the MIND that He has given us.  I'll show you in God's own anointed words.

to be continued.
