Mind of God: The Witness and Record of the Father

God desires us to have the mind of Christ, which is the mind of God.  Mind... meaning to have His Spirit be the Spirit that is working in each of our souls.
 
1 Corinthians 2:10-16  *11-12,16 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.....For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
 
To have the mind or Spirit of Christ and to walk in the Spirit of the Lord, producing His fruit which is spoken of in Galatians 5:22:
 
Galatians 5:22-23  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
 
Let’s continue reading Galatians 5:24-25 to balance this out...
 
Galatians 5:24-25 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
 
The works of the flesh are shown in verses 19-21.  So anything not producing the fruit of the Spirit of the Lord, as in verses 22-23, are the works of the spirit of the flesh.... that carnal mind (spirit).
 
God’s mind.... He does things different than the carnal mind... that is obvious.  Even though God can wipe out all things if he wanted to, He is love and has established His Government: His own rules, regulations, and requirements that are to be followed.  This is Love that is Strength, and Power.  Not weak and insufficient.  He is able to do and provide anything.  Yet it is done in wisdom... perfection.
 
Jesus provided food and money when it was necessary... supernaturally by His own desire.  Out of the Mind of God.  The Father that was with Him always told Jesus what to speak and do.  Even that moment when the Father became separate from Him for just a moment, because Jesus had taken on the sin of the world, and tasted it and death for us.  Oh Hallelujah!!!  But His Righteousness sustained Him, having done no sin, and the action of LOVE towards us was accomplished. The Work was done.  The Father’s Will was completed in, of and by His Son... for us.  Now we can rest in His Work and Righteousness!  Our work now, is to believe in the one that God has sent, and walk, producing the fruit of Faith in That Righteousness.
 
God produced our Salvation – through putting His Son through suffering of the cross and taking on the sin of the world, enduring the shame for us, and soooo much more.  God’s perfect plan was birthed through pain.... so that we wouldn’t have to.  Sure, we all go through issues but the Lord has endured the ultimate pain and suffering for all.  So, receive His lovingkindness now (Ephesians 2:7).  Endure the cross that the Father has planned for you, but KNOW that it isn’t anything compared to the punishment and judgement of sin, which Jesus took on His own flesh AND Soul for us!!!  It was enough.  That work was sufficient for our LIBERTY.  So Receive from the Father the abundance of this Grace that is in Christ Jesus and His Work... and REST IN HIM, knowing the Father will provide for you.  (Just listen to His instructions and directions daily, and be obedient.)
 
His Righteousness!  Oh Hallelujah!  The Father was Pleased in Him, for the Faith of the Son Believed and Obeyed the Father’s Will.  This is AWESOME!! Walk in the Faith of the Son.!
 
Now this is the Mind of God that is being birthed and working in each one of our souls.  Having an obedient mind to the will and plan of our Father.  Moving in perfect harmony.  So now the Father has to process us in and through the cleaning process – which is Jesus Christ the Word, Bread, Water, Blood of Life...
 
...By the washing of the Water that is the Word of God, the testimony and witness of the Father (Spirit of God) is being written in your heart and put in your mind to DECLARE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the Son – the Lamb of God for you.
 
Washing and Cleansing us in the Son as we are placed in the habitation of God the Father, which is prepared for us in the Son... co-heir of God, first born inheritance, ....oh what Glory and Life !!!!  Eternally done.  Completed.
 
By The Blood (Spirit of Life) speaking the eternal sound that is LIFE, or could say “trumpeting” the voice of Righteousness in our souls... GOD’s WORD of Victory for you.  Sealing and stamping you Holy, for Jesus Christ has made His home in your soul and you are cleansed by This Word of God manifested in your soul.  His Presence In you Sanctifies You.  It makes you Clean, Pure, Holy, Undefiled....  The Presence of Jesus Christ in you seals you as the property of the Father... eternally.  His Presence declares Righteousness on your behalf AND Makes You His Righteousness... having received the Atonement of God through that Blood and Spirit of the Son abiding in your soul.  That Spirit and Testimony speaking in you is CHANGING YOU, TRANSFORMING YOU into the same image of the Son of God... Causing you to be ONE MIND working in you, and it is that Mind/Spirit of the Father operating in you (Philippians 3:21; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18); and bringing you into the place in the Son that the Father has prepared for you (John 14:20-23; John 14:1-4; John 1:12-14; 1 John 5:6-14).  The Testimony of Jesus Christ IS that Holy Spirit that was in Jesus Christ and raised Him from the grave!  The Witness of the Father!
 
So, it is by that same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the grave of sin and death, that is washing and renewing and regeneration (rebirthing) your mind/soul.  Oh the mystery of the Lord! (Romans 8:11)
 
These scriptures are worth reading and meditating on.... These are only a few of the scriptures that will concur what is written above:
Ephesians 5:26-27
John 3:3-5
James 1:18,21
1 John 5:1-15
Hebrews 8:10
Hebrews 10:16-24
Hebrews 12:22-29 *22-24
2 Corinthians 5:1-5,14-16,18-21
1 Corinthians 15:23-28
Hebrews 2:7-11 *8-9
2 Timothy 1:9-10
2 Corinthians 3:16-18
1 Corinthians 12:11-14
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
2 Corinthians 6:16
Romans 3:21-22,23-26
Romans 12:1-2,5
Titus 3:4-7
 
Only THIS RIGHTEOUS ONE can help you.  And He is all the help you need.  The Father and Son are making you their habitation, if they haven’t done so already. (John 14:20-23; 1 Cor 6:19-20; 1 Cor 3:16-17)
 
REJOICE in the LORD ALWAYS!  For the King of Glory is Come!  He is Lord and King of you and His Mind is the Spirit of the Lord that has married your soul.  Enjoined by the Blood of the Lamb.  Allow the Son to be revealed through you.  Allow the Lord to swallow up and remove what is dead....Circumcising your heart.  Rise Up from Your Grave and shake off those grave clothes.  Let the King of Glory swallow you up... Clothe you in His Righteous Garments... declaring His Righteousness in His face, now shining through you.!
 
2 Corinthians 4:6-7 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
 
Awww.... the smell of LIFE ... now that is AWESOME!  ... no more I, but Christ... Gal 2:20
 
It is His desire and Mind to cause us to become His Righteousness now shining in this world.
 
2 Corinthians 5:21 ...be ye reconciled to God.  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
 
Amen.
