We Have God's Mind To Know Who We Are In Him

"Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:11

Christ is now in us and His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, is now life for us and it is life abundantly! The power of God that raised Jesus from the dead and that forever eliminated sins ability to even touch Him, is now alive within you and I. We have been made alive together with the same life force of God, the Holy Spirit, that raised Jesus from the dead and that quickened Him together with God. The wage of sin is death, but the gift of God is life eternal through Christ Jesus our Lord! God tells us that we are to consider ourselves to be dead to sin, and thus we also should consider ourselves to be dead to the wages of sin. We are able to think this way about ourselves, because God has given us the Mind that He has, the Mind of His Anointing, 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’s Mind knows and understands the power of His Anointing and the power of His salvation for us! The Anointed Mind of Christ, that God has united us with, knows the Truth that human flesh apart from Him is nothing but sin. And it also knows the absolute Truth that God’s Strength, provided to us by Jesus’ sacrifice, has overcome the weakness of our flesh! God has given us a mind that knows Who He is within us and a mind that knows we are no longer alone! The mind that God has given us fully understands that we have been crucified with Christ, and nevertheless we live, yet it is not us that lives, it is Christ within us Who lives! The mind that God gives us knows that He can do all things through us by the power of His Anointing that He has given us! Our mind from God does not fear, it does not doubt, and does not hate. Our mind loves, forgives, has hope and faith, and does not for one second doubt that God loves us. It actually knows the breadth, length, height, and depth of our Fathers love, and it is able to grasp the peace that comes from Jesus, even though His peace passes all understanding. As our Father is, so are we, even while we are in this earth!
