Volume 4 Chapter 2 Page 6

"Being of ONE Mind"

 

"Transformed by Holy Spirit!"

 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Ephesians 4:3-16
(New International Version)

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is ONE body and ONE Spirit—just as you were called to ONE hope when you were called— ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism; ONE God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.
This is why it says:
"When he ascended on high,
he led captives in his train
and gave gifts to men."
(What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? He who descended is the very ONE who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)
It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to
the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

As I read this scripture today, I was carried in my thoughts back to my early, "being as(like) a child", to my days of infancy, that at such a young age, I had not yet begun understanding God's WORD in the maturity and fullness, which the Apostle Paul writes about in these 'Inspired' WORDs given by Holy Spirit.

It was NOT God's WORD that was in any way, shape, form or fashion, fallable, contradictory or in error, because

as God says, HIS WORD changes NOT!

God, HIS WORD and HIS Spirit,

ARE the same Yesterday, Today and Eternally Forever.
Was, IS, and Will Always and Forever BE,
The inerrant, infallable and solid WORD, upon which my Faith is built, being 'Grounded and Rooted', 'SETTLED and SECURE' both defined by God for the 'Testing and ReProof' against ALL the wind(s) of 'Doctrine' that with it carries a form of 'Confusion and Deception' contrary to God's WORD!

Spiritual 'Discernment', just ONE of the many Gifts of Holy Spirit, is absolutely necessary for a Believer to 'Rightly Divide' the WORDs of Truth from the lies of God's enemy, which include, 'Indifference, Confusion and Rejection' of the Gospel of Christ, all being what God has defined as 'Abominations in HIS Sight', and NOT the 'ONE Spirit, ONE Mind and ONE Faith' in HIS Christ!

In saying earlier, as a 'babe in Christ' as mentioned by the Apostle Paul, I was feeding on the 'milk' of God's WORD, because Holy Spirit was 'Transforming' my mind into the 'Mind of Christ', preparing my heart and mind to begin feeding on the 'Meat' of God's Eternal WORD!

Christ, being of ONE mind with the Father and Holy Spirit, means just that, ONE Mind, ONE Purpose and ONE Goal,

That man be 'Reconciled' in fellowship, 1st with God, the Father and 2nd, with other Believers in Christ, under the 'Guidance and Direction' of God's Spirit.

Much much of the time than not, any references made to 'Conversion', by the differing and widely varying Christian 'Religious' conclaves, are simply refering only to the switching from one doctrine or thinking pattern to another Christian 'Religious' order and profession of Faith and Doctrine.

The Apostle Paul, without the abbreviation of WORDs, confronted those who in light of their error in the complete understanding, since I know that God, Christ Jesus and Holy Spirit, are of ONE Mind, closely guarded with every ounce of his life, defending the TRUTH as it had been and was continually being 'Revealed' to him through Holy Spirit.

That once, I have stopped and read of Saul's 'Conversion', realizing that coming from 'Judaism' to a 'Saving' knowledge of Christ Jesus, the Son of God being born in the flesh as God, is again simply switching from one differing belief in a Sovereign and Living God, to another belief of God, only with additional and oftentimes, contradictary and erroneous teachings.

What defines 'Conversion' is the continual and ongoing WORK of Holy Spirit in a Believers life, where through prayer and study of God's WORK, HIS Spirit then begins 'Transforming' and 'ReNewing' the mind and heart bringing together, as the Apostle Paul says, ONE mind, ONE Faith, ONE Hope, ONE Baptism, ONE Resurrection......, but above everything else, ALL being ONE,,,,

and God said, 'I AM THAT I AM'
not US, never was, will never will be,
It is Unity in the Body of Christ,
members being 'Unified in ONE Mind'!

Before the 1st WORDs of God were uttered at Creation, the 'Committee of 3' met in the 'BoardRoom' of heaven, where the Plan, Purpose and Will of God was laid out and defined, NEVER TO CHANGE, from 1st Day until Eternity!

Much to the contrary of 'Modern and Accepted Doctrinal' requirements, which imposed upon men by men as similiar to the Jewish Pharisee's, Sadducees and the "Religious' instituitions, are simply NOTHING 'Like the Unity' that God "Intended nor Institued'

It is to be ONLY, through HIS Son's and HIS Spirit's 'Testimony" which according to God's WORD, IS the ONLY 'Authorized Version' that I will, as the Apostles Peter, James, John and Paul were Willing and Obedient to as well, 'Listen' to "TRUST and Obey', following and serving HIM who sits on Heaven's Throne, even if it brings into my life, that 'SAME' persecution and death which was so closely 'Associated and Related' with being a "Faithful and True' Believer in Christ,

as I wait Patiently, for HIS Glorious Return
during these 'Last Daze', which HE prophesied would come!

Hallelujah!!! Praises to Adonai, Elohim, the LORD God, Most High!!!

Salvation is NOW Come,
through the Testimony of HIS Spirit
and Believers in HIS Son, Christ Jesus!

 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

 

O'Lord, where once men's hearts stood still,
where the Very Presence of YOUR Glory and Might brought death,
it is NOW by YOUR Mercy and Grace, the Precious Blood
of the Lamb of God, which was shed and sprinkled upon Heaven's altar!!
Therefore, because of that I am now able to stand,
Boldly and Courageously before YOU!
It is NOT by my power or my might
but by YOUR POWER and MIGHT of Holy Spirit,
that YOUR Church will Endure,
praying in Holy Spirit,
which builds up my most Holy Faith,
Now and Forever More!!!

I Worship YOU ONLY,
ONE Lord over heaven and all the earth!
Amen!
