Christ Manifested in Us—Part 1Uddrag

The Mind of Christ in Us

The mind of Christ dwells in you and it contains all of God’s knowledge. That is why John says, “you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.” (1 John 2:20 NKJ) 

What things do you know? It is not natural knowledge, it is not knowledge that can be acquired in the classrooms of the best universities, but it is the knowledge of God’s wisdom, God’s science, all that God is, and all of His wealth. That knowledge is already within you.

You possess the mind of Christ in your spirit, you already know all things, that is, all that Jesus knew while in the flesh dwells within you. Scripture says there was no need for Him to be told anything about people because He knew everything. He knew people’s hearts and minds. He knew the Father’s purpose. All the knowledge that inhabited Jesus, that same knowledge lies in your life.

Hard to believe? Possibly, but it is not until you understand and accept this truth that you will begin to live through the revelation of Christ’s mind in your life. If you don’t believe it, you can’t see it manifested. You can’t see something in the Spirit that you don’t accept as your truth. The same is true of the mind of Christ. As happens with all the Spirit’s truths, until you accept them just as you accepted salvation by faith, they cannot be manifested in your life.

I learned to depend on the knowledge of Christ’s mind, although at first, I did not understand it. That knowledge of Christ’s mind comes from Scripture study, meditation, and prayer when combined into a single activity. When we read the Scriptures as if we were reading a newspaper, then that action produces absolutely nothing—just more facts in our minds. However, when we combine searching the Scriptures with prayer and meditation, all at the same time, they become a practice of the spirit, where what we are reading with our natural eyes becomes life in our spirit. Then God’s Word makes sense to us and it produces transformation in our lives. 

This is when we begin to receive the revelation of the mind of Christ in us.
