And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt you between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ; If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That you put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
...But he that lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and have forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and be established in the present truth. Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
Jesus said unto him, You shall love the Lord you God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions;Partly, whilst you were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them that were so used. For you had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which have great recompence of reward. For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
1 Kings 18:21;Prov. 3:6;Rom. 12:1;Eph. 4:13-25;1 Cor. 11:2;1 Pet. 1:9&12-13;Lam. 3:21;Matt. 22:37;Mark 5:15;Rom. 7:25;Rom. 8:5&7;Heb. 10:32-39
Considering what others are saying to you is carnal and is enmity with God, but God be thanked that with my mind I serve the Lord. Some people tell you go this way, and others say go that way. But in the end of all that, there was not too much that was done, but a little. But all things work together for good to them that love God, and are called according to his purpose. But as you are on your way to see truly that you knew all the time in your spirit, what to do, this is the victory, that you know your Shepherd's voice. And learning that his yoke is truly easy and his burden is truly light. In your patience you will possess your soul. But thinking that God don't use your mind, is a lie. A double minded person is unstable in all their ways, so purify your hearts to have one mind, then come boldly to God. Because you must remember, what has happened to bring you where you are today? Oppression from man is of the devil, it can hinder you from moving in the Spirit, by listening to your feelings instead of your faith. And how do you move by faith? It is by hearing from God. It's Quick and Powerful, sharper than any two edged sword...piercing and dividing asunder of soul and spirit and the joints and marrow, and it is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, and there is not a creature that is not manifest in His sight, the Word of God. If it is from God, it will give you peace, not fear nor anxiety, the Word of God will put you in your right mind.
Be not anxious for nothing, but pray with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God. and the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. Do you think that God knows things already? and you don't have to pray? (Remember the Lord said to Adam, "Where are you? The Lord knew where Adam physically was; but Adam was not in the spirit anymore; Adam's spirit was dead. But he asked him to give him opportunity to repent.) God is giving us a opportunity to say something to him, by praying, even though he knows everything...Amen.
If a entity does not have unity by speaking the same things, there will be division, no doubt, and shall fall (divided against itself, how can it stand?). When the people planned to do something together against God, God will confound their language because they were not in His will, doing evil to His little ones that believe in Him...They shall surely gather but not by me, they that gather against you, shall fall for your sake...Saith the Lord...Amen. Thank God for having the mind of Christ! ♫ My soul says 'Yes', Lord! ♫
