FIRE BY NIGHT
By Glenn H. Jackson
"Reflections
Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]
...."You, in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave
them by day, to guide them on their way, or the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go".... Nehemiah 9:19 NASB
ABIDING IN THE "MIND OF CHRIST"
Word of prophecy:
* As My children simply "obey" [from faith to faith] they will save themselves a lot of [soulish] "thinking". For obedience is born of "revelation"
[thoughts that are in accordance with My heart and the Mind of Christ] and, thus, as one sets themselves to seek after and carry out My Will ABOVE ALL ELSE it is certain that their every "thought" will be the spontaneous fruit of the spiritual impulses that
continually rise up from My Spirit through their spirit [inner man] rather than the lies of the Enemy [which attempt to infiltrate {influence} one's mind from the outside].
...."We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the true knowledge of God[and who we ALREADY are, in Christ], and we are taking every thought captive [through proclamation] to the obedience of Christ [a revelation of the Father's
Will]".... 2 Corinthians 10:5 NASB
...."Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely
given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words".... 1 Corinthians 2:12-13 NASB
Not only do we, as true sons and daughters, have "the mind of Christ" - we need to be found abiding [dwelling] in that place [both individually and corporately] in order to fulfill the fullness of the mandate on the Glorious Church. Jesus said we can do NOTHING
apart from Him - and, so, it is certain that we must be in perfect sync [one mind and heart] with Him right through to the end of the age. The reality is that if one is not found "seeking" to abide in the mind of Christ .... I don't want to tell you whose
"mind" is controlling them.
Hence, the clear instruction of Paul to bring "EVERY" thought captive to the obedience of Christ [obedience being defined as continually
acting on a "revelation" of the Father's Will in the power of the Holy Spirit - Who is the Spirit of wisdom and revelation] is the perfect catalyst to one continually partaking of the mind of Christ - a Mind that is ALWAYS in perfect agreement with the heart
of the Father.
...."For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But
we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart [Isa. 40:13]".... 1 Corinthians 2:16 The Amplified Translation
Prayer of Proclamation:
Father, we thank You and praise You that You have raised us up a people who are found "abiding" in the Mind of Christ. And we declare it DONE [on an ongoing basis],
in the Name of Jesus - to Your greatest Glory. Amen.
