I Corinthians 2:16
For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
You may have a hard time believing me, but when I began to experience this my spiritual senses opened up and I had the ability to THINK what Jesus was THINKING, to SEE what he was SEEING. He was not talking to me, or prophesying words to me, there was no distance between his mind and mine, I was literally thinking his very thoughts. It gives a completely new dimension to the idea of being intimate with Christ.
This is not a religious way to tell people to have a good attitude, it is a spiritual organ, linked to the supernatural organ of the heart of Christ, and it gives a person limited omniscience. It’s much higher than prophecy, because you are not being told what God thinks, you think it yourself! It even gives people an x-ray vision to see what God is doing, to unravel dark mysteries and other supernatural abilities. I’ve never heard another human teach about this correctly. Hopefully more people will begin to experience this gem of the Kingdom and it will become more widely understood. It is HIGH spiritual meat.
For me it started like this, I was playing a color matching game and suddenly I knew what colors the computer was going to try to surprise me with before they appeared. I scored 100%! I knew the phone was going to ring and who was calling and what they wanted a few moments before that person actually called me. I remind you, God DID NOT TELL ME this, I knew it because I was sharing his thoughts.
Then a friend wanted to talk about going to pray for his sick relative, who suddenly died, and he said he had confidence to pray for healing but not resurrection! And suddenly I had x-ray vision and I could see the family community he was about to visit but in blue colors I could SEE where the Father was moving—I could literally SEE what the Father was DOING!!
People ALWAYS quote this verse but explain it wrong. They always say Jesus did what the Father told him to do. Its because they understand prophecy and well, people cant read each others thoughts … but God can. And this is a part of the mind of Christ.
Here’s just three verses where the scripture mentions Jesus knew the thoughts of people around him.
4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?Matthew 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.”
25 Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.
Luke 6:7 And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him. 8 But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there. 9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?”
And so when I was experiencing this, I knew things supernaturally around me that concerned me, not everything in the town or in the universe; I did not share the Mind of the Father, but I saw answers to very complex problems, I had like a radar of limited omniscience—again not the mind of GOD juggling planets and counseling angels in distant galaxies, none of that concerns ‘the Son’ who is ‘on Mission’ for a season ‘on the Earth,’ but whatever was within my area that concerned me as a son of God on a mission in a place, OF ALL THAT CONCERNED ME I had a supernatural suite of senses and abilities to understand and deal with. People so casually talk about being ‘intimate’ with Christ but so often they have no idea what this really means. THIS is what the Bible calls the Mind of Christ and what Jesus asked me to share with you now in this chapter.
