Bible Texts:
I Corinthians 2:16 KJV
For who hath known the mind of
The Lord, that he may instruct Him? but we have
The Mind Of Christ.
The brain is the vessel of all
thoughts. To know ones thoughts is to know their mind, and we can
know the mind, the very thoughts of Christ, we can know them through
His Word.
The Word Of God, are the very thoughts
of God.
The Psalmist knew well the secret of
having the mind of The Lord.
Psalm 119:11,97 KJV
11 Thy Word have I hid in mine
heart, that I might not sin against thee.
97 O how love I thy law! it is my
meditation all the day.
Joshua 1:8 KJV
This book of the law shall not
depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day
and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is
written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and
then thou shalt have good success.
Psalm 1:1,2 KJV
1 Blessed is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of
sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in The Law
Of The Lord; and in His Law doth he meditate day and night.
Psalm 104:34 KJV
My meditation of Him shall be
sweet: I will be glad in The Lord.
Romans 12:2 KJV
And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye
may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of
God.
Philippians 2:5-11 NLT
5 You must have the same attitude
that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though He was God, He did not
think of equality with God as something to cling to.
7 Instead, He gave up His divine
privileges; He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a
human being. When He appeared in human form,
8 He humbled Himself in obedience to
God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God elevated Him to the
place of highest honor and gave Him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue declare that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God The Father.
Philippians 4:8
KJV
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things.
I Timothy
4;13,15,16 KJV
13 Till I come, give attendance to
reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
15 Meditate upon these things;
give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to
all.
16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto
the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both
save thyself, and them that hear thee.
II Timothy 1:7
KJV
For God hath not given us the spirit
of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
I Peter 1:13-16
NLT
13 So prepare your minds for
action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the
gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is
revealed to the world.
14 So you must live as God’s
obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to
satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then.
15 But now you must be holy in
everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy.
16 For the Scriptures say, “You
must be holy because I am holy.”
I Peter 4:1,2 KJV
1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath
suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the
same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased
from sin;
2 That he no longer should live the
rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of
God.
Not to have the
mind of Christ, is to be carnally minded.
If our body, soul
and mind have not been washed clean by The Blood Of Christ, and our
names written in the book of Life, then...
Matthew 15:19
KJV
“...out of (our)
heart (will) proceed
evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false
witness, blasphemies:
Proverbs 15:26
KJV
The thoughts of the wicked are an
abomination to The Lord..."
Romans 8:6-9 KJV
6 For to be carnally (Fleshly
appetites, sensual.) minded is death; but to be
spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity
(Hatred) against God:
for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh
cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but
in The Spirit, if so be that The Spirit Of God dwell in you. Now if
any man have not The Spirit Of Christ, he is none of His.
Our Lord's message to His people, in
a sinful world....
Jeremiah 4:14
KJV
O Jerusalem (God's people), wash
thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long
shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
Psalm 19:14 KJV
Let the words of my mouth, and the
meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my
Strength, and my Redeemer.
