10/24/22 A MIND FOCUSED ON THE WILL AND WAY OF GOD
A MIND FOCUSED ON THE WILL AND WAY OF GOD.
We are told to bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
Remember, one of the five components that makes up the soul is the mind, or reason. Reason has access to knowledge, which can lead to understanding and result in wisdom. God has given us the tool with which we may gain knowledge and when our mind, our reason is submitted to God we can progress to understanding and wisdom.
Without Christ, the mind is the mind of the flesh; it is enmity with God. The unsaved man (the natural man) fills his mind with man's wisdom (the wisdom of men), fleshly wisdom, earthly wisdom, sensual wisdom, devilish wisdom, the wisdom of this world, the wisdom which is from below.
With Spirit led reason we can bring every thought into the captivity of Christ. With Spirit led reason we can have the mind of Christ. With Spirit led reason we can be of one mind with God. With Spirit led reason we can dream the dreams of God.
Read His word. Find what God wants you to do with your mind, with your reasoning. Bring every thought captive to Christ. Think the thoughts of Christ. Shut out the thoughts of darkness.
Imagine what you life would be like if you deliberately set your mind and reason to know the truth of God.
