Through Christ We Think LIke Christ

"For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ." 1 Corinthians 2:16

God chose Jesus and He appointed Him, and He empowered Him, and we now have His mind! Jesus knew how He was going to die and when He was going to die, so there was never any fear or doubt along the way about the will of God concerning His death. He could walk right in and preach even in places where they wanted to kill Him, because He knew the Truth of when and how He was going to die, and that Truth set Him free to be used by God! Jesus knew that He was going to be raised up from the dead, and that allowed Him to have the faith to offer Himself freely to be crucified. No man took Jesus’ life, He had been set free by the Truth, and He freely laid His life down for us! This is the mind that we now have! Jesus knew that He was born of God and that allowed Him to fully know and understand that God could use Him. Jesus knew what to say to each and every person, and that allowed Him to go and give the exact words of freedom and in the exact manner that they needed to hear it! Jesus knew that it was God within Him doing all of these works so He had no fear, and we now have His mind. Jesus was anointed by God, He was strengthened by God, so that He could fully and completely know the Truth and the Anointing of God set Jesus free to be fully used by God, and we now have the Anointing that God gave Jesus, the Anointing of Christ, the mind of Christ! This is what strengthens us, this is the mind that we have, everything that God gave to Jesus, so that He could walk in power and perfection has now been given to us. So that God can use us fully, just as He used Jesus fully! The mind we have been given knows this Truth and faith comes for us by hearing it! Jesus was fully empowered because He was fully God, and we are now one with God through Jesus, and this is how the world will believe and be saved!

“Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.” John 16:13

“But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.” 1 John 2:27
