Do you have the mind of Christ?

1 Cor 2:10-16 Says: But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 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. 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.

These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

So do I have the mind of Christ?

Within these scriptures the Apostle Paul compares and contrasts the difference between the natural man and the spiritual man. I was taken back by the comment that the Apostle Paul made about having the mind of Christ. I realized how often I seem to find myself being more worldly minded than Christ minded in my daily walk with Christ. So do I have the mind of Christ? Am I asking the Lord God each day to give me the mind of Christ? Am I living in such a way that Christ Jesus is on my mind? Or am I just living in a worldly minded way that is focused the things of this world instead of being focused on Christ in all things?

Dear Lord God,
Thank you for showing me the importance of living a Christ minded life instead of a worldly minded life. Please forgive me for the many times that I have been worldly and sinful minded instead of being Christ minded. Please strengthen me in the Holy Spirit and help me to be Christ Minded in all areas of my heart and life. Please help me to remember when I wake each day to immediately ask you to give me the mind of Christ and strengthen my spirit and resolve through out the day so that I will live with the mind of Christ instead of mind of the world.

In Christ Jesus name I Pray Amen

Do you believe in the foolishness of God or the wisdom of men?

1 Cor 1: 18-25 says: For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

So am I believing in the foolishness of God or the wisdom of men?

As noted in the scripture the very foolishness of God is wiser than anything man can come up with. Did you notice from the scriptures the response that people often have when it comes to the simple gospel message proclaimed that Christ Jesus was crucified and resurrected for your sins. The foolishness that if you will but surrender your heart to Him by believing in Him for salvation, trusting in Him through faith to take away the stain of your sin, that He will do this for you. So the question is do you believe in the foolishness of Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord and that it is only through faith in Him alone that you will be saved? Or do you think this is foolishness because you believe that you are wiser than God because you don't believe that you need someone else to save you?

Dear Lord God,
Thank you for showing me the importance of believing in the foolishness of the cross instead of the wisdom of men. Please forgive me for the many times that I have relied on the wisdom of men and the things of this world instead of relying in and trusting solely on You as Savior and Lord. Please strengthen me in the Holy Spirit and give me a heart that embraces and believes and trusts in You alone not matter how foolish this might appear to the world.
In Christ Jesus I Pray, Amen

What is your focus on and who are you serving?

Acts 3:11-16 says: Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly amazed. So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: "Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

So, the question is what am I focusing on and who am I serving?

Did you notice that the crowd were amazed and focused on what both John and Peter did in relation to the miracle that occurred instead of understanding and being focused on Christ who actually healed the man? Did you notice that Peter immediately rebuked the crowd for their misguided actions? So, am I ensuring that whatever I am doing is Christ-centered and not me centered? Or am I pridefully seeking public recognition and reward for whatever task that I perform in ministry or service to the Lord? Am I careful to direct attention away from myself glorifying Christ for whatever He accomplishes through me? Or am I more focused on growing my personal ministry or my position in order to promote myself? Am I focused on sharing the love of Christ as a humble servant with a sincere heart as John and Peter did, reaching out God’s love guided by the Holy Spirit as representatives of Christ Jesus hands and feet? Does the acts of ministry and service that I am performing flow out of my personal relationship and worship of my Lord? Or am I using the ministry or acts of service that I am engaged in as a substitute for actually spending time in worship before the Lord?

Dear Lord, thank you for showing me the importance of being Christ centered instead of being me centered. Please forgive me for the times that I have served You and others from a position of pride instead of humility putting myself or the ministry work in first place of importance over a personal relationship and worship of You. Please strengthen and guide me in the Holy Spirit so that I will do the things that you show me to do with a willing, humble, and submitted heart that glorifies You. Please help me to keep the focus of everything that is done in Your name on You and not on myself.
In Christ Jesus Name I Pray Amen!

Are you living for Christ Jesus with a sense of expectation?

Acts 3:1-10 says: Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, "Look at us." So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them--walking, leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God. Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Am I living for Christ Jesus with a sense of expectation?

As noted in this account the man begging at the gate had no expectation that he would be healed. His being healed was not only unexpected but most likely something that he might never have even desired or dreamed of. So, am I taking time to glorify, lift up and thank God for the miracles that He works in my life each and every day? Am I living with a sense of expectation knowing that no matter what is going on in my life that Christ Jesus loves me, cares for me and wants the very best for me? Am I sharing with others the grace, love, and mercy that has been extended to me as a witness of God’s grace and love for them? Am I praying for myself and others in need by faith with an expectation that God will reach out his hand to them showing forth the love of Christ in both in my life as well as theirs? Am I listening to and being sensitive to the Holy Spirit, allowing him to lead and guide me as He did Peter and john? Am I living as a dedicated faith filled Christ follower who is careful to not quench the work of Holy Spirit by living in doubt and fear?

Dear Lord, thank you for showing me the importance of living for you with a sense of expectation born of faith in You to meet all of my needs in accordance with Your divine will. Please forgive me for the times that I have quenched the work of the Holy Spirit because of my own doubts, fears and lack of faith. Please strengthen me in the Holy Spirit and give me a heart that is sensitive to your will and word in all things so that I will be a vessel that is fit for use to the furtherance of your kingdom as you lead and guide. Please give me a heart that is thankful and filled with wonder and amazement for all that you do both in my life and those that are around me.
In Christ Jesus Name I Pray Amen!

So the question is, are you saved from this perverse generation?

Acts 2:40-47 says: And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

So the question is, am I saved from this perverse generation?

In other words, have I gladly received the gospel message that Christ died and was resurrected for me? Have I surrendered my heart to Him trusting in Him to forgive me and take away my sins so that I will be saved from this perverse generation? Did you notice that the early church was connected as a community of believers that took care of each other, loving and sharing what they had so that they were no longer connected with or living as a perverse generation. So am I living for Christ by being engaged and connected with fellow believers loving and caring for each other as the early church did? Or am I just living for Christ as an individual who does not have time nor wants to be a part of a local church body? Am I taking time each day to study God’s word and pray? Or am I just to busy or engaged in my work, entertainment and pastimes to do this? Am I allowing the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me by actively seeking each day to be available to help and share the love of Christ with those around me? Or am I just too consumed in my own affairs to see the needs of others around me? Am I living in such a way that it is evident that I am actively engaged and part of Christ Jesus’s church body that is bearing fruit unto his kingdom? Am I living in such a way that I am no longer actively engaging in or living like a perverse generation?

Dear Lord, thank you show showing me the importance of being an active participant within your church. Please forgive me for the times that I have been too busy or not engaged in the worship, ministry, growth and support of the Church body. Please forgive me for the times that I have engaged in and lived perversely against your will and word. Please strengthen me in the Holy Spirit and give me a heart that is willing to live according to your will and word in obedience. Please help me to be actively engaged in worshiping and serving you as a fully committed member of your church body. Please place me where you want me to serve and guide me and use me as a willing vessel to bear fruit unto your kingdom. Please give me a heart that loves everyone as you do and help me to walk in wisdom and grace spending time daily in worship and service to you so that I won’t engage in perverse or sinful things.
In Christ Jesus Name I Pray Amen!

Have you been cut to the heart?

In Acts 2:29-39 the Apostle Peter said: “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. Therefore, being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’
“Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

So, the question is. Have I been cut to the heart?
As Peter explained because of mankind’s sin nature we are all born in corruption which means that we will all see death. But Christ Jesus did not stay in the grave but was raised from the dead with an incorruptible body that will never die. 1 Corinthians 15:53-57 says: For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. So, the question is do I want to live in sin and corruption or do I want to surrender my life to Christ accepting His sacrifice that brings Salvation that is incorruptible? In other words, have I been cut to the heart and have I faced the truth that I am a sinner in need of a Savior? That I am completely bankrupt in my sin and that I am unable to save myself? That in fact it is because of my Sin that Christ Jesus had to die on the cross because without His sacrifice I would have no hope of forgiveness or salvation from my sins of any kind?

Dear Lord, thank you for paying the price for my sins that I am unable to pay and for defeating death so that I can live with You in a personal relationship that will be incorruptible. Please forgive me of all my sins as I humbly submit and surrender my heart and life before You by faith believing that You are able and willing to forgive and take away the stain of sin that corrupts my life. Please fill me with the gift of the Holy Spirit and seal my heart in Yours in a loving eternal relationship as I willingly surrender before You.
In Christ Jesus Name I Pray Amen!
