THE DAILY BLUEPRINT 4/7/11 Christ Minded 1st Corinthians 2:16 Who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct them? But we have the mind of Christ!! Many say when you get saved your get the heart of Christ - but today's verse goes much further then that - We have the mind of Christ - once He saves us - our mind is no longer the same fleshly mind we were born with - sure it still wants the same things- the flesh that is - but the Spirit now dwelling in us only want to please GOD! When we come to a problem we often wonder what to do - the first thing we must do is ask GOD what to do - and then use the mind He has given us - sometimes we get lazy and want to go back to our old ways - because it just seemed easier not worrying about pleasing God - but in the end - we will regret all those times we didn't take GOD seriously - when we didn't do what HE called us to do - we must remember that when JESUS saves us by HIS blood - we are changed forever - we cannot go back and live the life we lived before Christ - although I have known several people who have tried - it's a miserable life - without purpose - you are just drifting to nowhere - but in CHRIST you have HIS mind - and your thinking has changed - no longer is it about you and your needs - but about God and others - our lives radically change when we allow the mind that CHRIST gave us to think more then our old earthly mind that just wants what it wants - living for JESUS is the best life of all - remember if you are saved you have HIS mind - amazing! Think about that - HIS mind is in you! Awesome! Amen! WORD TO THE WISE: WE NO LONGER HAVE TO THINK LIKE THE WORLD - WE HAVE CHRIST AND HIS MIND! BECAUSE OF CHRIST OUR HEART AND MIND ARE TRANSFORMED FOREVER! BUILDING ON THE WORD for 4/7/11 IF YOU GIVE YOUR HEART TO JESUS - HE GIVES YOU HIS MIND TOO!
