MIND OF CHRIST

1 COR 2:10-16

INTRO: WHAT IS THE MIND OF CHRIST?

A) THINK OF HOW YOU THOUGHT PREVIOUS TO BEFORE YOU WERE SAVED.

B) THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT THOSE WHO ARE NATURAL OR UNSAVED THINK IT FOOLISHNESS

C) LOST PEOPLE CANNOT DISCERN THE SPIRIT

D) THIS IS WHY PEOPLE WHO ARE LOST HAVE SUCH A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE MIND OF CJRIST IS AND WHAT GOD’S WILL IS FOR THEIR LIVES.

POINT: PEOPLE TRY AND LABEL GOD OR PUT A LIMIT ON HIS LOVE, GARCE AND POWER. IT IS FOOLISH FOR US TO DO THESE THINGS. (V9) SAYS EYES EARS AND HEARTS HASN’T EXPERIENCED THE THINGS GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM. BUT GOD REVEALS THINGS TO US BY HIS SPIRIT. DEEP THINGS

2: DEEP THINGS OF GOD

A) BEGS THE QUESTION WHAT IS GOD’S WILL FOR MY LIFE?

B) THIS IS A DEEP THING OF GOD

C) YOU CAN ONLY BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WITH THE SPIRIT.

POINT: EVERYONE WANTS GOD TO BE AVAILABLE WHEN THEY NEED HIM. WE ARE ALL INTERESTED IN WHAT CAN GOD DO FOR ME? LEARNING YOUR PURPOSE AND WHAT GOD’S WILL IS FOR YOUR LIFE BEGINS WHEN YOU HUMBLE YOURSELF AND SAY. LORD WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU? THAT’S THE FIRST THING YOU DO TO LEARN THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD.

BODY: FREE THINGS OF GOD

B) A FRIEND WHO ALWAYS LISTENS AND GIVES THE BEST ADVICE

C) V 12 WE RECEIVED NOT THE SPIRIT OF THE WORLD

D) A SAVIOR WHO SITS AT GOD’S RIGHT HAND AND RESTORES US TO FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD.

POINT: GOD FREELY GIVES US THESE THINGS. DEVELOPING THE MIND OF CHRIST CALLS FORUS TO THINK AS CHRIST DOES. THANKFUL FOR EVERYDAY WE ARE GIVEN. REALIZING ALL THE LITTLE SMALL BLESSINGS WE RECEIVE AND ALLOWING THE SPIRIT TO WORK WISDOM IN OUR HEARTS OUR MINDS AND OUR SOULS.

B) TIMES WE NEED STRENGTH GUIDANCE AND EVEN DELIVERANCE

C) THE HOLY GHOST HELPS US UNDERSTAND OUR SITUATION OUR CIRCUMSTANCE AND PREPARES US FOR ALL OF IT

POINT: GAINING KNOWLEDGE IS PROFITABLE FOR ALL OF US. BUT WHAT WE LEARN FORM THE HOLY GHOST ABOUT OURSELVES AND OUR PURPOSE AND HOW TO APPLY IT ALL TO EVERYDAY LIFE IS SOMETHING NO MAN CAN TEACH US.

THE HOLY GHOST REVEALS TO US GOD’S WILL FOR OUR LIVES. HIGHER EDUCATION IS EXPENSIVE THE HOLY GHOST IS FREELY GIVEN TO US ALL!!

B) V 4 FLESH ANS SKIN MADE OLD BONES BROKEN

C) V 8 HE SHUTTETH OUT MY PRAYER

D) V 18 MY HOPE AND STRENGTH IS PERSIHED FROM THE LORD

POINT: ANYONE EVER FELT LIKE THAT? OF COURSE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING HAS GONE WRONG AND NO ONE CARES. NOTHING YOU DO IS RIGHT AND ALL YOU GET IN RETURN FOR YOUR DEEDS IS PAIN AND PUNISHMENT. HARD TO FIND GOD IN TIMES LIKE THAT.

2: V 22-25

A) HAVE I HOPE

B) THE LORD’S MERCIES THAT WE ARE NOT CONSUMED

C) GREAT IS GOD’S FAITHFULNESS

D) I HOPE IN HIM

POINT: THE PROPHET WAS BRINGING TO REMEBRANCE ALL THE GOODNESS OF GOD EVEN THROUGH ALL HIS PERSECUTIONS. WE ARE NOT ALONE AND GOD IS NOT HIDING FROM US HE WANTS US TO ASK HIM WHAT HIS WILL IS FOR OUR LIVES. IT’S EASY CALM YOUR NERVES CLEAR YOUR THROAT OPEN UP YOUR MOUTH AND ASK.

CONCLUSION: THROUGH PRAYER AND CONSTANT FELLOWSHIP WITH THE HOLY GHOST YOU CAN OPEN DOORS THAT SEEMED LOCKED BEFORE. PRAYER MOVES THE ARM THAT MOVES THE WORLD TO BRING DELIVERANCE DOWN. KNOWING THIS IS HAVING THE MIND OF CHRIST
