The Holy Spirit in You as The Mind of Christ

Romans 7:23 - 8:1-2
7:25 "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."
8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

So is it possible for a Christian to still be walking after the flesh: YES (if not after the Spirit).
7:25 Paul says, with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

"the mind" in v25 is not the human mind otherwise it is flesh, rather the Holy Spirit (the mind of Christ given to a believer) Romans 8:8-9, 1 Corinthians 2:12-16.

Referencing[*] 1 Corinthians 2:12-16
2:16, "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."

Jesus said in Matthew 11:27;
"All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him."
...and in John 16:14 talking about the Holy Spirit;
"He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you."

Back to our reference[*] in 1 Corinthians
The things given to us is revealed through the mind of Christ (2:12b), so now; Who is the mind of Christ? The HolySpirit (2:12a).
This was why Jesus said in John 14:26 ...he shall remind us of all...

It is clear "For God is my witness whom I server with my spirit in the gospel of his Son..." Paul says in Romans 1:9.
True worship is rendered to God in your spirit, as the Spirit bears witness with your spirit (not your flesh) (Romans 8:16) and God knows the mind of the Spirit as He interceeds according to the will of God. (Romans 8:27)

Oh yes you get it now [The Spirit (HolySpirit) works with the spirit, as man is a spirit, has a soul and lives in a body].

So as a child of God, the race calls for daily yieldedness to the Spirit (Romans 8:14), complete crucifixion of the works of the flesh (Hebrews 12:1) through the Spirit (Romans 8:13b) and consistent walk with God and focus on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2).

Thank you God for this diet for the race.
Remain forever blessed.

Psalm 91: A Complete Refuge 3

Psalm 91 [short series]. As we journey through life, sometimes we go through troubles beyond our control — an addiction, sudden financial lack, sickness, broken relationship, losing a loved one, a hope deferred. How do we navigate those seasons? Or maybe you are currently in such a season and wondering, "How do I live through this?" Previously [1] [2] , we saw that God's refuge is guaranteed. The Psalm also shows the completeness of God's refuge as a reason for how we can navigate the seasons of life. His Refuge is complete through this life! Psalm 91:3-6, 13 God rescues you from troubles beyond your reach and permanently deals with the cause of all problems, Satan himself. His refuge deals with: Sin: snare of the fowler (v3, 11-12) Snares are traps used to catch animals, often made with something enticing or luring, like a cheese trap for a

Psalm 91: A Guaranteed Refuge 1

Psalm 91 [short series]. Psalm 91 is a commonly known Psalm that often raises doubts (e.g. Does it really apply to our present realities?), gets misinterpreted (e.g. If you trust God, no trouble will come to you) or gets undermined (e.g. It’s all a metaphor). But the message in the Psalm is such a profound encouragement to keep trusting in God because of the kind of refuge that only He can provide. As we will see in a 4 part study, the Psalm shows us why God is the only refuge you can trust (v2), and this is because: His refuge is guaranteed By His greatness: He can. v1, 11-12 By His promise: He will. v4, 14-16 His refuge is complete Through this life. v3-6, 13 Into the next life. v7-10, 16 His Refuge is guaranteed by His Greatness! Psalm 91:1, 11-12 He can always rescue! T

In Christ is all we need

Luke 5:1-11 NIV; 2 Peter 1:3 NIV. Praise God! Happy new year!!! One time, I was meeting friends for a game of badminton. When I arrived at the court, I noticed I had come with the wrong bag. I planned to play in shorts, but I played in trousers, and my very competitive friends were not merciful. Peter described the Christian life almost like my backpack experience, except that he made the right switch. He picked the one that had all he needed for his journey. In Luke's passage (Luke 5:1-11 NIV), he records Peter's first meeting with Jesus. It was at a time when he had toiled all night but couldn't catch any fish. So he parked his boat by the seashore. But when Jesus saw Peter's boat, he got into it and used it to teach the crowd the word of God - to meet their spiritual needs. Again, in displaying his divine miraculous power, he used the boat to provide much fish - to meet the physical needs of Pet
