Paul said, “…to reveal His Son in me.”, “… But we have the mind of Christ.”,
” I will put my word in their minds and write it on the tablets of their hearts.”
Compounding word upon word; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.
I am seeing once the perpetual (Ephesians: Spirit of wisdom and revelation) revelation of Him in me takes more root then word creates, attaches like synapse to other rhema. I believe this is the mind of Christ. Christ in me.
I did a study of the ancient Hebrew of Isaiah 55:11. It comes into a deeper meaning now. I am of the opinion this is the process of The Substance of His will.
The quickened word (that is spirit & life) that continually proceeds (from my mouth) from the dimension of heaven where I dwell is sent with My purpose by My will. My will is not whimsical, arbitrary or futile. My sent word is not limited by time, space or dimension. It will supernaturally create its purpose at the destination according to my will and good pleasure. It will cause advancement, gain more land and prosper unto where it is thrown as a spear at its target; shooting out of the ground with My purpose.
Today, at work I was on a conference call. An old friend walks into the lab. I pulled out an earpiece and immediately turned behind me where he was. He was talking to a fellow coworker. I didn’t turn around or pull out my earpiece because he was talking to our peer, but because of something I that had not yet happened in my life.
When he came on proximity of me I immediately became aware of the Christ in him; his inner man. I felt like energy of Him in him almost pulsing next to me. I think it was familiar to me. I’ve written other blogs speaking of the inner man. And that or He is who I perceived.
Later, I talked with him. I came to two possibly three conclusions. He needed to know Christ is real, is in him and an admonition that He is the God who justifies the ungodly meaning doesn’t matter my spiritual status or how I feel. God is real and true. He is reality. Truth does not predicate on my strength.
Walking out to get my Truvia. I see Kevin. Tall bald director friend of mine. He is walking towards to right side of the parking lot, but my car is on the left side. Yes, I forgot where I parked.
I realized something though. The word says we have gifts and callings. Kevin apparently can administrate and delegate. Hence his vocation. For whatever reason, I noticed I was following him. I think that is amazing.
The word says He draws all men. It is the grace upon the vessel that draws man. The vessel was purposed by grace to teach, preach, evangelize, etc. It is there I think saved or not. We are all called. Many are called, but few are frozen.
He is peace. Ephesians 4:3.
Don’t allow law to be put on you.
Stay “in” Him (in peace) by grace and revelation.
For He IS peace in us.
If I am in the Spirit, I am not limited by time, space or dimension. I was thinking when déjà vu occurs that perhaps a spiritual synapse occurs between our spirit and the Holy Spirit. God does not see time as linear since He does not dwell in time as we do or is limited either.

I met an atheist-socialist Ethiopian today. I very nice man. I am persuaded his family had been praying for him and the Lord crossed our paths. He had several questions. Paul said that one plants and one waters.
Romans 7:15,
For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.
I always hear about free will before Christ. After reading this verse again 28 years later this sounds like slavery. Slaves don’t have free will. Food for thought.
Also, the premise is Romans 7 is referring to pre-salvation. How’s that for the heresy of the day?
1 John 4:18 (NIV),
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
Robertson’s Word Pictures in the New Testament
Casteth out fear (εχω βαλλει τον ποβον — exō ballei ton phobon). “Drives fear out” so that it does not exist in real love. See εκβαλλω εχω — ekballō exō in John 6:37; John 9:34.; John 12:31; John 15:6 to turn out-of-doors, a powerful metaphor. Perfect love harbours no suspicion and no dread (1 Corinthians 13:1-13).
When reading Robertson’s Word Picture above I see the passive effect of the power of God’s love driving out the essence of fear from my being in Him. A type or pattern can be seen in the Garden, Genesis 2:25. Neither Adam or his wife were fear-driven. Their consciences were undefiled, whole and pure.
Today, this verse has been unveiling itself more and more. This blogs builds a little more on a previous blog, Self & Fear. Also, if I am aligning with Hebrews 6:1-2, this topic would fall into “the foundation of repentance from dead works.” I believe this is Christ in you and the purged conscience in revelation and grace of Him and more.
So, what I saw was this:
The above also seems to harmonize with Galatians 2:20. The old man is dead; dead to the judgment and penalty of the law. As partakers of the divine nature, where is self? Romans 7 talks all about bring the old man to life and how to.
I was at the gym. I have been teased more than once for my attire. Today, I was wearing white socks and black sneakers. It bothered me so I put my socks on half way. I think it looked much better. I asked myself, “Is this selfish?” I felt the Lord say, “No, its your preference.” In other words, it ties to my identity and expression of who I am. If I over-analyze this then I will self-deliberate1 which Philippians advises not to do. I think the admonition in not self-deliberating, disputing, is so the person will not put themself under unnecessary self-imposed law.
The last bullet. I was in line to pick up my son. I asked the father in front of me if he was in line? I felt his response was curt in tone. Walking out, I thought to myself, “Why did that bother me?” The answer, “Self attaches to offense.”
I was reading Established Heart.
1 John 3:21, “Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.”
Then I recall Romans 7:24, “O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?”
The individual whose conscience is defiled will be condemned by the self-imposed law in their heart.
In 1 John 3:21, John clearly says we are condemning ourselves. Amazing. If we have confidence, boldness and words without fear with absolutely no doubt then our heart is established by grace. The caveat is we get in our own way from time to time.
I almost read John referring to the heart of the old man as a totally separate person. Undoubtedly, he is if the old is gone and I am a new creation in Christ.
