Into-Me-See
1 Cor.2: 11 “No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit.”
The third step to confidently facing the future is to be secure in your relationship with Jesus. It is all about Jesus. Being in a relationship with Jesus gives you access to three things and these three things make all the difference in dealing with fear. Being in a relationship with Jesus gives you access to His Presence. In Him we live, in Him we move, and in Him we have our being. Being in a relationship with Him makes it possible for you to sustain His Presence. Isa.41:10 “Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with my victorious right hand” [TLB]
Secondly having a solid relationship with Jesus gives me access to His voice. John 10:27 “My sheep respond as they hear My voice; I know them intimately, and they follow Me” [Voice, with emphasis]. One of the criteria of being Jesus’ sheep is the ability to hear His voice. If you are not His sheep, you cannot even hear God. If each time there is a challenge you are always running to one bishop or another prophet, you have a huge problem and you need to come to Jesus today even if you are a pastor or minister. If you keep running from pillar to post, you need to come to Jesus today. His sheep hear and respond to His voice.
Having a solid relationship with Jesus gives me access to His mind and this is amazingly powerful. And the reason is because you and I do not need to hear His voice to know what He is thinking. You can discern His mind without Him speaking. That is another level of relationship with God. It is good to hear God’s voice but you can also know His mind. Guess what? As a believer you already have all the apparatus to do it. It is not an exclusive of a certain group of people. Everybody should have access to His mind.
1 Cor.2:16 “For, “Who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?” But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.” A lot of the time when I tell people that God in not in the direction they are about to take, they say, “how can you tell without praying?” I just know and by God’s grace I am always correct. You can operate in it too but you must exercise it. God says you have the mind of Christ.
Prayer: I have been crucified with Christ and Christ lives in me. The mind of Jesus Christ is in full operation in me, my thoughts, my decisions, my desires, in Jesus Name. Amen!
