RENEWING YOUR MIND THROUGH THE WORD

 "NOW YOU ARE CLEANSE THROUGH THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU! JOHN 15: 3" 

The bible says you are cleanse through the word. The word of God has cleansing power to purify any soul ! Its has the cleansing power to renew your spirit. Jesus told his disciple you are cleans because of the word your heard. When we accept and apply the word of God in everything we do, it produce the life of God in us. Mary accepted the word of God and the word became flesh in her womb. The word produce life in her. In the same vain, when we accept the word of God and apply it on our daily life, its produces the life of God in us.

" I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are cleans through the word which i have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you.......If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you....... John 15:1-7 KJV"

We can  abide in Him through the word, because it is the word that will create the life of Jesus in us. Your mind is a major factor that needs consideration. The body only carries out what the mind is filled with. For example, if want to go shopping it begins with your mind, if you want to read and you made up your mind to do so, you find yourself reading. To abide in Jesus you must renew your mind daily with the word of God. 

" I beseech you therefore, Brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that .......... Romans 12:1-2 KJV".  God warn us not to be conformed to this world. To be conformed to this world means to be controlled by the works of the flesh.  "This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh....... Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these Adultery, fornication.........Gal. 5:16-22 KJV."

Now we known what it meat to be conformed to this world, God warn us against being conformed to this world but we should renew our mind through the word of God. The word of God purifies and its produces the life of God in you. Study your Bible daily.

Table of contents

• Introduction 
• The fall of man
• God's plan of redemption
• Christ the power and wisdom of God

Introduction 

"And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness: let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth...... Gen. 1:26 ".

The above scripture reveal that the main purpose why God created Adam (the first man on earth) was to established heavenly principle on earth. Adam was created King of the earth by God to rule and have dominion on earth. Adam lost this dominion to Lucifer, when he disobeyed God. 

The fall of man

Lucifer took over this dominion from Adam when Adam fell. God was angry with Adam and drove him away from the garden of Eden. Before the fall have Adam, Adam exercise this dominion by naming every thing that exist on earth. "And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name therefore Gen. 2:19".Adam lost this privileged to Lucifer and Satan now has the right to afflict the descendants of  Adam. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servant are ye to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness Rom. 6: 16 " . Adam obey the deception of Lucifer and became subject to him. 

God's plan of redemption

God has a plan B for man. He introduce the law to see if through the knowledge of the law man could understand God and establish genuine relationship with God.  The introduction of the law create the awareness of sin and man became more sinful. for the law was weak in that it was unable to prevent man from sinning against God. God sent the second Adam (Jesus Christ) to set man free from the yoke of sin. 

Christ the power and wisdom of God.

When Jesus Christ died on  Calvary tree and arose the third day, He took the dominion from Lucifer "Jesus said unto them, All power is given unto me in heaven and on earth. Matt. 28: 18". and hand over same to the church "Behold i give unto you, power over serpent and scorpion and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you! Luke 10: 19"

THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING

 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WILL REST ON HIM; THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING. ISAIAH 11:2 

The third dimension of the seven Spirits of God is the Spirit of understanding. The Spirit of understanding is the aspect of the Holy Spirit that helps us to understand the hope of our calling. Eph 1: 18-19. The Spirit of understanding give us rhema from the scripture. This aspect of the Holy Spirit gives us the ability to understand the mysteries of salvation. (Proverbs 4:7). The Spirit of understanding is God's supernatural revelation - His secret insight to His word. Understanding simply means a comprehending or a grasping of His Word. The Spirit of God illuminates our heart and gives us understanding of His Word. In other words, He " turns on the lights for us". 

Operation of the Spirit of understanding ( 1 Corinthian 2:10-11). 

For the spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.  For what man knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man which is in him ? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God ".  

The ability to understand the Bible is something that God gives to us. Understanding is a gift from God, it is not something that we conjure within ourselves. As Christians we have the ultimate opportunity in life to ask  God to give us perfect counsel and direction. He has perfect understanding of what is best for us. The spirit of revelation and spiritual understanding go side by sides with each other. The wisdom and revelation we receive in our  spirit   come to us by the Spirit of understanding before we can know the real meaning of revelation. Revelation is what will received from God; understanding is comprehending the revelation we have received from God.

THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM

 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WILL REST ON HIM, THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM.....Isaiah 11:2

The second Spirit of the seven Spirits of God His the Spirit of Wisdom. The Spirit of wisdom is the operational dimension of the  of the Holy Spirit that brings the wisdom of God. He causes the wisdom of God to manifest in our life. Eph. 1: 17. 

Wisdom is generally define as the ability to apply knowledge. Wisdom is a force, it's the divine insight into the purpose of God. it's the ability to comprehend the will and purpose of God and put it to practice. Wisdom is the controlling power of reality.

wisdom is a force, is more than ability, you may have the ability to do something but refuses to do it. when the Spirit  of wisdom is at work, He revealed the purpose of God and cause you to do it. Earlier in the book of proverbs, wisdom was personified as a woman calling out in public to be heard (Proverbs 1:20-21). Solomon once again uses this metaphor, depicting wisdom as she cries out from near and far for men to head her call and listen to what she has to say. Wisdom's message is not obscured so that no one can find it. On the contrary, the basic principles of godly wisdom are so obvious that all people ought to hear and listen (Proverbs 8: 1-5) 

The operation of the Spirit of wisdom 

The Spirit of wisdom brings us revelation in the exact knowledge of God. When the Spirit of wisdom has His way in our lives, it will bring us a revelation that gives us insight into mysteries and divine revelation of whom God his. 

The Spirit of wisdom brings us light that will flood our path and illuminate our minds to have such an extraordinary amplitude of comprehension. He will also brings us counsel and direction, such that life ceases to be mysterious to us. The Spirit of wisdom is that aspect of the Holy Spirit that enable us to penetrate divine truth that prepares us to judge all things according to that truth.

The Spirit of Wisdom and revelation is not some mysterious blessing given to a special few, and it is not just the ability to speak as a prophet. Rather, it is the work of the Holy Spirit to help us as people of God to understand the things of God more fully and completely. Wisdom gives us insight into God while revelation unveils and truth about Him. Still, the more we study the Bible, the better we will know God.
