I LOVE Gloria Copeland's take on 1 Corinthians 2:16 in today's "Faith To Faith" devotional!
Heart to Heart
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. 1 Corinthians 2:16, The Amplified Bible
Isn’t it exciting to realize that you can hold the thoughts
and feelings and purposes of God’s very own heart in your heart? Isn’t it
thrilling to know the Creator of heaven and earth wants to be one spirit with
you and transmit His thoughts to your mind?
First Corinthians 6:17 says that when you were joined to the
Lord you became one spirit with Him. He came into union with you so that He can
talk to you heart to heart. God wants you in this harmony with Him so that His
thoughts can become your actions. He wants you to walk so closely with Him that
you never lack power to overcome the evil of this world. He wants you to be so
in tune with His Spirit that you are able to feel His heart of compassion
toward those around you who are hurting or bowed down with sickness and pain.
He wants to be one with you, so He can reach out through your hands and fulfill
His purposes in the earth.
Make a fresh commitment today to walk in union with your
God. Give your attention to His Spirit in your inner man. Determine to yield to
His voice and not to the voices of the world or the flesh! Allow the mind of Christ to flow through you!
AMEN! That IS who we are to be in this world! Ambassadors of Heaven, bringing the same message that JESUS would be bringing if He still ministered physically on the earth! AND HE DOES! Remember, WE are HIS BODY! We are carriers of His glory, power, anointing, Word, message and presence while HE sits at the right hand of the Father, waiting for his enemies to be MADE HIS FOOTSTOOL! That's our job! Let's get to it! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Children of the Light":
Shalom in Him!
