We are becoming the Word. It's being imparted to our spirits. That's right. And it doesn't yet appear what we will be. The word says, but when we see Him, what does it mean by seeing Him when we know Him, yes, we will understand, what the process has been. You take a look again at Job. The ultimate end of Job was not the double portion.
He knew God. He came to a place where he knew God. He knew Him, not by the hearing of the ear, but by an experience with God. When he looked back, and I was just thinking about this, when we look back at all the circumstances of our lives and what we've gone through, what God has created in us is a miracle.
Wake up, house of God, believe what the Lord has already brought you through, and what He will continue to bring you through, and what He's created in you to become.
"Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." That is such a key here of understanding the thing of Spirit. Because our mind is not Spirit, it's part of this soul flesh side of our life.
We need to recognize it as a potential enemy. It is a potential enemy because it plays so many games with us in our heads. And that's the avenue that Satan uses. He keeps putting words in here that's not our words. He keeps putting thoughts in there that are not our thoughts. But by the Spirit, we recognize these things.
We are trained, we are going through the process and I'm still having issues with the soul flesh side of things.
it's not in the emotions. It's not in our mind. It's in our spirit that matters. What's happening there. That carnal mind, the enemy of God in my mind, I'm doubting I just, I can't help, but have that doubt. Could that really happen?
Would that really happen? What it means to really operate from your spirit rather than that place of the mind, and it just clicked. This morning when I heard that I haven't heard it before, but it just struck me in a new way of that. The mind is the enemy of God. And that's not what you listen to.
It's okay. It doesn't matter what's going on there. That's the realization I have. It doesn't matter what I think, or I don't really believe maybe, or I kind of believe in my mind. It doesn't matter. You tune into your spirit and you believe in your spirit. And despite all of that's going on or what I might be thinking in my mind. You just hold on to that belief and that faith, that's his faith in your spirit.
My carnal mind has nothing to do with it. My carnal mind is being dealt with, but my spirit is set on the Lord. That's where we're going to come to know who He is and know the fullness of Him in us.
You're saying what Jody was saying, I was thinking about where does faith come from? Of course, Mike was nailing that about the Word. And I was thinking about Thomas, you remember, they told him that Christ had been resurrected in this. And he says, unless I can put my hands in His side, see the wounds in His hands, I will not believe.
And Jesus appeared to him there in the room, He says, come here. Put your hand here and Thomas, oh, my Lord and my God, but Jesus said to him, because you see, blessed are those who believe who do not see. Faith is something in our spirits, not what the eye sees. Our eyes can deceive us. What we see, they say in the world, seeing is believing, that's baloney, it's not true.
Because what we see many times is not true, but what's in our spirit by the Word, that is true. Faith begins in our spirit, like Mike was saying, based upon the Word of God. It's about the Word of God having its fulfillment. If we love His kingdom, if we love Him. We want to please Him. We are going to walk as believers.
I was just thinking, not what I see, but that which thou has spoken, O Lord.
This is the age of the grace to become and the grace to do. And that's where we reach in to the hidden treasures that God has placed within His Word. And the Word that we need for today is readily available.
We are becoming Christ in the Spirit. What does that mean? A willingness in our hearts to lay down our lives for each other. There is just a willingness to say, Yes, Lord, what you're speaking through my brother, I open my heart to it. I want to become. There's something about the cry. When we hunger and thirst after righteousness, we'll find it.
And again, this is about His presence. This is about overcoming. This is about becoming something more than we could ever become in our flesh.
The Word has trained us, and some of us have been such students of the Word that we take every single little letter and every little punctuation and every little meaning and every little nuance of every Word that comes out of us and goes down on to paper, however it is that's being manifested or even spoken, that we were trained to grow up into an expression of and have the deepest feelings of God coming through that melody of the Word or melody of the song or melody of the thought. It all speaks back to us now.
it's all about the Word, because if you really are doing as much as you can, you probably would be reading the Bible all over again every year and it would be a new Word.
And begin to just wake up to the newness that's right there with you every day. Wow, I never saw that before. Almost like a wake up every day.
