"ONE With Him!"





"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."
(Philippians 2:5)







What does Almighty God, the Lord Jesus Christ think about?  What does the Holy Creator of the universe ponder upon?  What lingers in the thoughts of the One who IS the infinite mind?  He IS the ultimate brain, so it comes down to His creation becoming what He planned  ... "ONE With Him!"

We have learned from the Holy scriptures that the Holy Bible says that as a man thinks in his own heart, so is he.  (Proverbs 23:7)  What we think about defines who we are, and words that come out of our mouths are what is in our hearts.  (Luke 6:45)  And, of course, we can all remember the saying, "our actions speak louder than words."  The Lord Jesus Christ, when His ministry began at a little over 30, went about healing, casting out devils, washing the disciples' feet, throwing money changers out of the temple, raising the dead, teaching and preaching, walking on water, grilling fish on the seashore for His disciples, healing lepers, making eyeballs out of mudballs, subduing the devil, and last but not least, praying.  We could conclude that the "mind of Christ" was busy taking authority over "matter," or things of earth, and by the way, He has the mind that's over ALL matter  ...


"The good man brings good things out of the good
stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things 
out of the evil stored up in him."
(Matthew 12:35)

What do we have stored up in us?  Huh?  What we read, what we watch on TV and movies, what we receive into our spirits in the form of the company we keep, and what we think about most is what is stored up within us.  This is important, because when it comes time to fight the devil, do we have the right "storage" to defeat him, or will he say, "Jesus, I know, and Paul, I know, but who are you?"  You don't know the devil, and he doesn't know you, personally, until it happens!  Huh?  What happens is you become a Jesus name baptized, blood-washed, tongue-talkin', sword wieldin', Word quotin', Holy livin', Hallelujah shoutin', Spirit dancin', armor wearin', sanctified singin', Holy Ghost walkin', soldier of the Holy One of Israel, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, the mighty and Only God, Jesus Christ!  That's when the lying devil encounters "the mind of Christ," living in His Spirit-filled warriors, and if we are in tune, on fire, prayed up, sold out, blood covered, and devil chasing, he retreats to find a "weaker on-the-fence" saint of God.  We better be "strongly" on the side of God in this hour, because the devil's on the prowl.

We need to take "matters" into our own hands.  What?  We are the hands and feet in earth for the Lord Jesus Christ; the "matters' of earth were given to us when He said, "Go ye..."  We are to take authority over all matters  ...  preach the Word, heal the sick, cast out devils, raise the dead, loose the bound, bring the peace of Jesus Christ to all living  ...lay hands on people to receive the Holy Ghost, baptize them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins  ...  do this to as many as are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call  ... We have a mandate to bring every soul we see to the knowledge of Christ, the grace of the gospel, and the power of His Spirit.  This is where the UNITY of the body of Christ is monumental.  We, as Christians, must UNIFY to MAGNIFY; when we march as One, we are powerful beyond measure, and the world knows what we preach is true, because of our love one for another; they know we are disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ, because we are One in Him!



What is on the mind of Jesus Christ?  Israel, His world, His creation, the dust He formed into man  ...  He is not willing that "any" be lost or perish.  Time is short; destiny's clock is ticking; the nations are lining up to prophecy's word; the angel is tuning up his trumpet; the banquet table is set; the horses are pawing the shaky ground; peoples of all nations, kindred and tongues are looking up  ...  Why?  Redemption is drawing nigh  ...


"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and
humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
(Matthew 11:29)


The bottom line?  We must become like our God, the Lord Jesus Christ!  He stands for all that is pure, lovely, Holy, and good.  He is the Savior of the world, the lover of your soul, the friend that's closer than a brother, the lily of the valley, the bright and morning star, the fairest of ten thousand, the soon coming King, and He is The Mind over all matters.  What should we do?  Become like the One who puts the devil under His feet, who conquered death Hell and the grave, who has authority to heal, deliver, and set free; He IS THE Mind over matter, and we must be "ONE With Him!"
