SPIRITUAL DEVELOPING OF YOUR MIND

The key to receiving revelation from Holy Spirit depends how fast you renewed your mind with God’s word.  The result  is our actions that will only glorify God.

A.  KEY TO RENEW YOUR MIND YOU ZERO INTO THE WEAK AREAS OF YOUR MIND.

The word  ‘REVELATION’  means transfer of  knowledge from the spirit to the soul (mind).  John 16:18 – Spirit of truth is able to connect with for renewed mind – clear, holy, sanctified and peaceful. Holy Spirit has the mind of God. The knowledge of God is in your  spirit.  Its needs to act it out as the mind of Christ.

 1 Corinthians 2:10-12

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁰ But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. ¹¹ For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. ¹² Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

We know that the things given by God that transferred to our mind and we act it out to obey. When ‘Fear’ the ugly head comes out says, ‘NO’ – Don’t  obey! You need to hear faith to obey – Faith  cometh  by  hearing the Word of God.

God’s spirit in your mind must work together and agree –Gird up your mind with truth.

Just to relate a few things we can have below:

1.      AN HONEST MIND  1 CHRONICLES 28:9 – A WILLING  MIND

       1 Chronicles 28:9

New International Version (NIV)

⁹ “And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.”

• Serve God with a willing mind and a perfect heart. To Serve God without a willing mind you are forced to serve! Are you forced to praise and sing? The cause of unwillingness is from the heart that is not right.
• The Lord searches all hearts and understands all thoughts. David told God to search his heart. David knew his heart’s condition.  ( Psalms 51:6 –10.)
• When our hearts are not right with God; God can create a clean heart, clean mind and clean hands to serve the Lord willingly. No questioning? No Doubts? Why Am I doing this?
• Did your hands run wild?  Why?  You can control your mind, your feet don’t run wild and take off.  Then your mind – doesn’t run wild – where is no control.  The Holy Spirit controls it.  If you bring it under the control & submission of the Holy Spirit.  (Philippians 4:8  “You will renewed your mind then God controls it”)

2.       A TEACHABLE MIND – Acts 17:11, 12 

              – Readiness of mind or being teachable.

           I will receive the Word with readiness of my mind.

            3 Keys to being teachable:-

a.      Meekness – James 1:21.  Essential in Hearing.  Meekness being teachable towards God.

b.      Humility – means the proper estimation of yourself according to the Word – Phil. 2:3-4, 4:17

c.      Gentleness – 2 Timothy 2:25 – In teaching and many more.

So meekness toward God; humility toward self and gentleness in your outreach towards others.

1) A Teachable Mind is Noble – Acts 17:11,12

Noble means true spirited – positive – not negative with the Word.  Most Christians are negative with the Word.  They tried to question the Word with their human mind.  They wanted facts and figures.

2) Readiness of Mind –  example “ openness, not stubborn”

Stubbornness is a mental attitude and has a spirit sometimes – pride, self-centerness, self-esteemed. Stubbornness is still an attitude which we choose in our mind – against the mind of God’s spirit.    So stubborn – is unwilling, unteachable and unreadiness.

            The key of blessings is readiness and willingness.  There was instant response to the Word and instant involvement.

Matthew 13:23

King James Version (KJV)

²³ But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

 3)   Believe – They searched the scriptures -

      Romans 8:6 – To be carnally minded means hostile to Word; worldly mind always resisting the Word.

        The Spiritual Mind is life and peace.  It is a Heavenly mind                        Colossians 3:1

            What wisdom are you seeking? 

    A believing mind is a spiritual mind and can be easily  teachable.

 

    James 3:15-17  -  New King James Version (NKJV)

 ¹⁵ This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. ¹⁶ For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
