ARE YOU WALKING IN THE MIND OF CHRIST? WHAT IS THE MIND OF CHRIST?

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:” Philippians 2:5

The Messiah, the Man and His mind we are blessed to know, to be known by, and to follow is seen in Philippians 2. Read it in the morning beloved of God. Life change!

Father, please bless Your beloved children with “the mind of Christ.” In Jesus’ name, amen!

Jesus left His world with the Father in the pristine and glorious perfection of Heaven to come this is fallen world and show us the Father and die for us so we could know Him (John 17:3; Philippians 2). Now, when we are submitted to the LORD, possessed by “the mind of Christ”, we leave our world if you will, abandoning our own agenda, and get into the worlds, the lives of others, and lift them up to Jesus!

Are you elevating other people ABOVE – “BETTER than” – yourself? This is the very “mind of Christ.”

The heart posture, the disposition of Christ is to Love and therefore serve God and OTHERS – not self (Matthew 20:24-28). THIS is the very “mind of Christ.” (Philippians 2:3-5) When God is working in us, we are crucified with Christ, setting ourselves aside. This is the place He brings us, without fail (Matthew 22:37-39). Great joy and liberty is found only in the place of serving God and others above self!

HOW TO BEGIN OUR DAY …. Think fresh repentance and heart posture! YOU are here on earth where the LORD has you for now to serve God and others and not yourself! This is how you follow Jesus!

Reading Philippians chapter 2 verses 3 through 5 each and every morning prayerfully is definitely a life changer. The mind of Christ.

If you read and employ the truth of Philippians 2:3-5, total fulfillment and blessings are coming into your life. Let’s do life GOD’s way.

LIFE in Christ is all about exalting HIM and others, never ourselves. We have 2 things to do today….

1. Love, worship God,

2. Pray for, lift up others above ourselves…. to humbly serve them as unto our LORD.

Do you want to walk in the mind of Christ? It’s the most bless-ed place to live, to walk. Read Philippians 2 each morning this week, prayerfully – asking God to further reveal Himself to your life and what it means to know and walk with Him.

Many awoke this morning with concerns about relationships with people. When we meet with Jesus in the morning, honoring Him with the very first waking moments of our day He’s given us, He’s going to fill our hearts and our relationships with people are going to be blessed. The cross is first vertical, upward to Heaven, and then horizontal – to people. As we seek the LORD above, our relationships with people here below on earth are going to have His blessing on them.

Life Change: Read prayerfully Philippians 2 each morning this week upon awakening.

Every day we must ask ourselves: Am I selfish or self-less? Are the affections of my heart truly set upon the soon coming LORD? Am I honoring Him first and then others, above myself?

Without fail, when a man truly repents, he will posture himself, he will frame his life on this planet to serve God and others, not self.

Yes, THIS is how you follow Jesus … consent to your own death and burial and God will raise you upward in His grace to serve Him and others! The cross.

“Ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3

EVERYthing’s about Jesus and others today. Amen dear LORD (Philippians 2:3-5; Matthew 22:37-40).

“The mind of Christ” = it’s all about Jesus and others, not ourselves (Philippians 2:3-5).

Anyone who is truly in Christ, is being quickened by the Holy Spirit to lay down their life, repent truly, and walk in this bless-ed mind of Christ. We shall go nowhere in and with the LORD if we are not hearkening to this truth, submitting to and crying out to Him for His transformation to walk in this mind.

WHY do we stress? –Because we are trying to carry our own burden, the burden and burdens of our life – instead of laying them into the lap of God and being free from them…. and therefore freed, at liberty to be used of Him to uplift everyone else around us! The cross, when applied, only when applied, makes us free (John 8:31-32). God is not going to raise up any person who is still alive in their will power. | The Centrality of the Cross in Our Daily Lives

There’s an absolutely elated sense when we abandon sinful self for the Savior and others! THIS is exactly how Jesus says we’re to live!!!!! Pouring over Philippians 2:3-5, stating these words aloud in morning prayer, is a life-changer!

“EMULATIONS” is 1 of the 17 works of the flesh cited in Galatians 5:19-21. “Emulations” means striving to excel at the expense of another which is the opposite of the mind of Christ, right? (Philippians 2:3-5).

Would you like to be treated the way you’re treating others? Golden Rule! Live it!

One disciple states: “I want nothing more than to be untaught and taught by the only wise Father of our LORD Jesus Christ!”

Setting yourself up for victory by obeying God. Upon our waking in the morning …. “EARLY will I seek thee.” (Psalms 5:3) IF we awoke today and didn’t put God FIRST by seeking His holy face, we are working on a wrong level. This is literal and until you take this literal, victory shall continue to pass you by:

“But seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

The successful life with Christ happens when He is truly “first.” (Matthew 6:33)

“Unless in the first waking moment of the day you learn to fling the door wide back and let God in, you will work on a wrong level all day; but swing the door wide open and pray to your Father in secret, and every public thing will be stamped with the presence of God.” Oswald Chambers

“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” Philippians 2:3-8

Concerning Philippians 2:3-5, brother one disciple writes: “One thing I have noticed about this, and I have tested it over and over again…. if you put others first and even pray for others and totally put self on the back burner, You will be blessed more and more and even your prayers and wants and needs will be blessed more and more if you take the focus off of self and keep it on God first and others second!”

Making others feel special, serving their needs, edifying and lifting them, is the stated will of God for our lives (Philippians 2:3-5).

Pouring prayerfully over this passage this morning will begin our day on Christ’s footing, not our own:

Gold Rule Living is following Christ – the example He set when He “came NOT to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:28) WHOSE interests are you living for? Your own or Christs and therefore His people? Do you realize that if you neglect those around you in need you are neglecting and affronting Jesus? (Matthew 25:40-46) Do you realize that you and I will be judged according to this exact measure and rule?

Just WHAT does preferring others ABOVE ourselves mean? How does that work itself out in our daily lives?

Diana Milligan writes:

“Example. You cut two pieces of pie. You give your wife or husband the better piece. You fix two drinks and give them the one that you prefer over the other one. Always give the one, you want. Ask yourself, which one you want and take the other one! That’s just one example, but I do that every day. I always ask myself, which one I’d rather have and give the other one. Oh, and I don’t tell him. It’s between me and God! shhhh don’t tell my husband I am giving him the best portion.”

If you are a true disciple of Jesus, why not memorize what He said through His apostle Paul? Why not harvest the verses on this article on index cards so you can make them part of your heart, thinking, and doing.

“Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.” 1 Corinthians 10:24

We are many members and yet one body in Jesus Christ.

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Romans 12:3-5

Concerning being possessed with the disposition of Christ’s mind, Carol Burke notes:

“The mind of Christ is His Word living out in me and extended to others, giving them Jesus. This is exactly what Jesus did when He gave Himself for us. Sometimes I fall short but He always picks me up as He will do with all of His own because He knows our character and what it will take to change it to show His life to others.”

Are you living according to Christ’s teachings, OR, are you deceived into thinking you are following Him who is the only way to Heaven while setting aside, neglecting, and even shunning what He taught? (Mark 8:38; John 14:15, 21; Titus 1:16; 1 John 2:3-6) If I am to love my neighbor “as myself” (equally) and even prefer others “ABOVE” myself, why would I keep two houses when I knew of another member of Christ’s body was without a home? I simply wouldn’t. The same goes for other possessions and money.

The earliest disciples of Jesus were following Him, living after His life, His perfect example, living according to His Word. They were preferring other believers ABOVE themselves (Golden Rule). As true disciples of Jesus, they were naturally doing unto others as you would have them do to you.

“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?” 1 John 3:16-17

Dear LORD Jesus, quicken, help Your people to walk in Your mind and not the self-serving carnal mind. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Dare to Pray this Right now: LORD, Change Me!

The Mind of Christ Philippians 2 [podcast]

Instead of wrestling in strife for who’s greatest among us, let us consider whom Jesus says is “greatest among you.” “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” Matthew 23:11 Please read those words of Jesus above, one more time. “Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.” Luke 9:44 The “mind of Christ” …. let us simply prayerfully jump in and fill the needs of Christ’s people (Galatians 6:10). Can He count on you? Are you faithful to the LORD? Are you faithfully […]

I'm Losing It!!!!! Lose it. Laugh. Love it!

Get ready to laugh and love it when you lose it! The devil gets livid when God’s people lose it!!! “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7 Satan only loses control over those who lose their life in Christ! – In Christ they are now “hid with Christ in God.” “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3 Yes, they lose their lives into the hands of the LORD! Notice in these glorious words below spoken to us just before He went to that […]

What Happened when Moses Held Up His Hand? [podcast]

Holding Up the Hands of Moses and the Members of Christ’s Body Exodus 17 Perpetual or intermittent victory? What shall it be for thee? May Christ’s body abandon our own things and hasten to the edification of the members of His beloved body. We are lifting up the brothers and sisters of our Savior today (Hebrews 6:10). Upholding Christ by holding up our relentless worship, our praise to Him, seeking His face continually, assures eternal glory with Him, His victory over sin, Satan, hell, and the grave! Holding up the hands of leaders, of others, is an ancient practice and […]

The LORD Is My Light [podcast]

“A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” Psalms 27:1 Have you felt like you are in darkness lately? Has confusion plagued your thoughts? If so, have you been thinking that you are not in God’s will? Did you realize that according to God’s revelation to us (His Word), this condition is not necessarily an indication that you are outside the will of God? Think about when JESUS and His 12 were on a small ship heading across the sea and He told His disciples (that’s what […]

Mission Mexico Part 26

Our LORD is Changing Lives here in Mexico

Last week our brother in Christ Vicente had a financial need and you met that need for Vicente and his family.

I brought him the money and he was… absolutely elated. He had been telling me about this pretty serious need for a few weeks. Finally I brought him the money he needed. God is able amen saints.

Update: Vicente update: I ran into our brother Vicente this morning and he was ministering to some men who were a work crew right outside of his restaurant on the street. I quickly handed him about 40 JESUS tracts and he began passing them to the men. Going to be supplying Vicente with more of the JESUS tract in Spanish soon.

Our brother is super overjoyed for the help he received to get his family vehicle repaired.

Jesus is God.
He’s coming.

More on the ministry to the Spanish speaking peoples of our LORD’s world! In the fellowship with the Florida group, a dear lady named Hilda repented and received Christ. Thank you for thanking our LORD for saving her and for His perfect will to be done in Hilda’s life. Phil 1:6

Excellent fruitful ministry time with Alex today. He’s also been sent the Born Again book in Spanish (PDF). Would you like to pause and ask God to bless, to save this man? (Ps 2:8; Acts 3:26)

MAKING PEACE WITH GOD [podcast]

MAKING PEACE WITH GOD (Spanish version here) Are you ready to Pass from Death to Life? God desires to pardon you – before it’s too late. Jesus beckons you to “Come unto me” — while you can (Matthew 11:28-30). “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 GOD sees all sin and will either […]

Fresh Start with God

No one needs Jesus more than I do and yet, we must do things HIS way, not our own (Ephesians 3:8). “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs […]

WHY IS THE KING JAMES VERSION CALLED THE “AUTHORIZED VERSION”?

Excerpt from “Answers To Your Bible Version Questions”

Question: Why is the King James Bible called the “Authorized Version”? How did King James Authorize it?

Answer: Despite stories to the contrary, King James, in no uncertain terms, clearly authorized the translation of the Bible that now bears his name.

[Note: This is a drastically shortened account of the birth of God’s preserved words in English. Longer accounts are available, as in Final Authority: A Christian’s Guide to the King James Bible, by William P. Grady.]

Sanctioning the Authorized Version

When Elizabeth died on April 1, 1603, she had seen 130 editions of the New Testament and the Bible published during her 45 years as Queen of England. James VI of Scotland, son of Mary, “Queen of Scots,” became James I of England.

Four days later, on his way to London, a delegation of Puritan ministers met James, asking him to hear their grievances against the Church of England. James consented, and on January of 1604, four Puritans came to express their troubles at Hampton Court, in front of King James and over 50 Anglican (Church of England) officials. One by one each request was rejected, until the Puritan group’s leader, John Rainolds said these famous words:

“May your Majesty be pleased to direct that the Bible be now translated, [since] such versions as are extant [are] not answering to the original.”

At first, Bishop Bancroft of London was dead-set against it, saying, “If every man’s humor might be followed, there would be no end to translating.” But the King made it clear he liked the idea. Not too long later Bancroft wrote this to a friend:

I move you in his majesty’s name that, … no time may be overstepped by you for the better furtherance of this holy work…. You will scarcely conceive how earnest his majesty is to have this work begun!

When this Bible was translated, the title page was printed basically as you find it today in Cambridge Bibles:

THE
HOLY BIBLE
CONTAINING THE
OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS
TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL TONGUES:
AND WITH THE FORMER TRANSLATIONS
DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND REVISED
BY HIS MAJESTY’S SPECIAL COMMAND

APPOINTED TO BE READ IN CHURCHES

The King James Bible was “Authorized” to be translated as God’s Word for the English-speaking people of the world. God bless you as you study His authorized and preserved words in English, the King James Bible.

How to Spot a Fake Bible [podcast]

Please don’t balk till you read these 3 verses. This is indefensible to the sane mind! “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” (Proverbs 18:13) In 2016 the Berean Study Bible (BSB) was introduced. Sounds good, right? Not! There are 3 verses we use to acid test “bibles”: Matthew 17:21; Romans 8:1; and Colossians 1:14 As usual, this BSB was taken from the known corrupted manuscripts instead of the Textus Receptus from which the KJB comes from. In the BSB, typically, we find: Matthew 17:21 was removed, Romans 8:1 was chopped in […]

Fake Jesus, Fake Pastors, Fake Christians, Fake Bibles, Fake Churches Exposed! [podcast]

TODAY’s apostate preachers created a counterfeit generation of false converts, entitled, self-serving counterfeits. There is no fruit proving they are truly born again. Their “christianity” consists of “church” attendance at a cross-less fake church that uses a fake “bible”, preaches a fake “Jesus”, and has a fake “pastor.” Beware. This was specifically foretold (2 Timothy 3:1-13; 4:1-5). The true disciple of Jesus will listen only to men who fear God and not you/them (2 Samuel 23:3; Matthew 10:28; Galatians 1:10) – and therefore they forcefully declare the whole of His truth straight up into your face! Repent or perish, sinner! […]
