I think we have to have the reality of Christ living in us to the point when whatever happens, there is a response that comes out of you that's not your thinking on a human level, but it's the thinking that comes out of knowing Him and having received impartation of who He is. That is a reality, and I think oftentimes, we don't even know what we're going to run into, who we're going to meet, what kind of circumstance we're going to be involved with.
But out of that, the impartation of who we are flows out of, into. That is something God has created in all of us more than we know. I keep thinking about the scripture where Jesus said, "I have many more things to tell you, or show you, but you're not ready yet." I think we're ready. I think we've come to a place of preparation, and that preparation is the impartation of God's Spirit.
The impartation of light, the impartation of His knowledge, and understanding is all there. And it's not religious. It's just out of your being flows. One of my favorite scriptures in John 6:37, Jesus stood up and said, If any man thirst, let him come to Me and drink out of his innermost beings will flow rivers of living water. I think we've come to a day when those rivers are flowing,and we are participants in it. It's not something of a religious reaching for a thing. It's a reality of now.
I know I'm close to God, and I know tomorrow I'm going to be closer. Our walk with God is a walk closer. That puts the human mind out of it, cause you will start chasing your tail if you try to figure out how close is close. It brings me to this, this point: we are admonished to put on the mind of Christ. The human mind is enmity against God, and that's why the scripture says put on the mind of Christ. If I put on the mind of Christ, how much? Is it measurable? Or can I put on the mind of Christ, so it's no longer my mind, but His mind. I saw the mind of Christ being presented to me daily through the scriptures, through the Holy Spirit.
I saw that being presented to me. I've grabbed it and said, this is mine. And it's up to you to take that. And let out, set free what's been placed in you. Are you willing to be Christ in the earth? All this can be a mind trip, but it's not a mind trip. It boils down to realizing who you've been created to be. Can you accept that?
God created each one of us just exactly the way we are. We didn't do that. He did. Now, why are we trying to dissect who we are or what we're doing or what we think or how we function? Why? The flow of God's Spirit through a many - membered body that are just absolutely intricately placed in the family a certain way, to function a certain way, to bring forth what God is expecting to come forth in the earth.
I believe the mind of Christ is being imparted as we speak. No one knows what's in the mind of Christ, but the Spirit of Christ. So if you have the Spirit of Christ, guess what's going to happen to you? Your mind's going to be transformed into His thinking because you have His Spirit. And the more His lordship dwells in your life, the less you dwell in your life.
Guess what happens to you? Your thinking changes because it's the mind of Christ. If you want to really say it, Christ knows all things. What does that mean? That means we are in the unveiling of knowing all things. It's not your intense study that opens up Christ, and the Word of God to you. It's the impartation of His Spirit.
That's why He chose fishermen. He didn't choose Pharisees that just studied, studied, studied, studied the Word. Because He chose people that were open to Him, that He could impart His Spirit. And what happened to them? They were transformed. What's the spirit behind what you're receiving of the Word? What's the spirit behind it?
Because all your great learning, look at the Pharisees. Man, they knew the Word upside down, said everything. But the spirit behind what they knew, what they thought, what they you know, they're very spirit. He called them of the devil or something like that. It's a hidden amazing thing that God chooses the lame, halt, and blind because He's not interested in our great abilities or scholarship or any of that. He's interested in our hearts being open to Him so that He can impart His Spirit.
I was thinking about Peter. When Jesus first met Peter, and called him to walk with Him. He said, you're a fisherman, but I'm going to make you a fisher of men. There was a creativity in Christ, and is a creativity in Christ. In fact, we're created in Christ for good work, according to the scripture.
But there came a day when, who do people say that the Lord is? And only one came up with the answer, the most unlearned, the most out there fisherman. Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." That came by revelation. It came by an anointing from God that touched Peter's mind and he understood who Jesus was. I think there's something in that we recognize in each other.
