God Graces us with a New Heart when reborn into His family, but He also Graces us with a New Mind…
“Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may DISCERN what is the Will of God, what is Good & acceptable & perfect.”
Romans 12:2
It mourns the Spirit inside of me when I see it being taught that our minds are to be shut off & that we should “allow” His Spirit to work ONLY in our hearts.
1Thessalonians 5:22
” ..test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good…”♡
God allowed me to have His Spirit; I didn’t allow Him… If we are under Grace, we are under His Will.
“No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draws him…”
♡John 6:44:
“He saved us, not based on deeds that we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration & renewing by the Holy Spirit.”
Titus 3:5
God says He makes us Whole by His Spirit. If we are whole, we become connected, complete, and united.
“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” ♡
Philippians 1:6
Our Hearts and minds don’t disconnect; we don’t become thoughtless, mindless being experiencing God solely through our senses.
“…Solid food is for those who have their senses (powers of discernment) trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.”♡
Hebrews 5:1
Instead, we begin to align in perfect harmony with His Spirit, His Heart, His Mind & His Will…
♡”All the promises of God find their Yes in Him. That is why it is through Him that we utter Amen to God for His glory. & it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, & has anointed us, & who has also put His SEAL on us & given us His Spirit IN OUR HEARTS as a guarantee…”
2Corinthians 1:20-22 ♡
Producing a calmness within us that cannot be adequately explained in human terms.
♡Romans 5:1- “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”♡
We can experience & understand true freedom from the CHAINS of this world…
♡”You who were slaves of sin have become obedient FROM THE HEART to the standard of teaching to which you WERE COMMITTED & having BEEN SET FREE from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.
When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness…the end of those things is death.
NOW that you have been set free FROM sin, & have BECOME SLAVES OF GOD, the FRUIT YOU GET leads to SANCTIFICATION & its end, eternal life.”♡
This sinful flesh (our mortal, dying flesh) that inhabits His Spirit will still always be at war with the Spirit living within it (us) BUT WE KNOW He will deliver us from this wicked body & all its lusts….
♡Ephesians 2:1-5 ~ “You were BY NATURE CHILDREN OF WRATH, LIKE THE REST OF MANKIND. God… made us alive with Christ, by Grace you have been saved..” ♡
Giving us a Glorified Body.
How do we know we are His?
“The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.”
Romans 8:16
And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth; and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
2 Timothy 2:24-26
