1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. - Galatians 4:1-2.
What is the testing and trying of a believer? It is a test of the seed. The seed does not need testing but the believer will learn when they turn to the seed it is stable, it is established, it is God's everything. Everything God is, is in the seed, Christ the seed of God in you. When I'm tested to my limit what is happening to me at that moment? I learn to lean on the seed, I run to the seed. I come to realize it is not about me so much as I once thought, we learn it is all about Him Who is my life, the seed in me carries me wherever I go and whatever I do and whatever I'm supposed to be, will be that seed.
Not that old seed, that old seed that caused all the trouble and still does in unbelievers. The old seed that had to be put to death in Christ because there was no escaping the clutches it had on mankind. Look to the cross where the old seed was killed out and replaced with the new seed, Christ in you the hope of glory!
Why Christians would want to hang around with the memories of the old seed is beyond me but it happens. Maybe they don't know there is a new seed; but trying to renew the mind with things will never get the the job done. The only way to renew the mind is to renew it to the new seed. Not just things but Him the seed, Christ in all who believe. The 6 o'clock news will not renew your mind, all man does to entertain themselves has no real meaning in life, they may be added pleasures of life and desires of the heart but they ultimately mean nothing. The only thing that will matter in this life is the renewed mind that can see the difference between the old and the new and grow in newness of life, that's it, nothing else matters. Because everything comes out of that, to easy, but the hardest thing at the same time for believers to come to.
What about a plague, a pandemic, a world upheaval, no sir nothing else will matter. I understand man's panic and that has some impact in life and you have to have a feel for it but nothing should drive a christian but getting fixed in mind, not dumbing down any further. We have to be honest as smart as we think we are, we are not smart. We are sheep and need a Shepherd to lead us, the is what the scriptures are in essence, they are a light, a lamp for the path of life. Christ is the Shepherd and the scriptures lead to the Shepherd. We cannot go running around leaving the Shepherd or you get devoured. How do I leave? by mind, when I stay locked in to ignorance or the knowledge of good and evil (same thing) Christians get devoured.
What is the answer? Mind renewal for a new knowledge. The new knowledge is His knowledge. You mean I can think like Him. That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm saying you do not have to address life from the stand point of the knowledge of good and evil. You can address life by life, His life that comes with a new knowledge, His knowledge. The scriptures call it the Spirit of wisdom. That is Him, He is a new knowledge, can you see that. You don't just get wisdom like some wizard or something, you get Him who is wisdom. Allow the Holyspirit a few minutes to roll that around in you and get some good knowledge fixed in you to the fixing of life. The life of a believer the scriptures say exsists.
Allow the Holyspirit to take you down a few back roads so to speak that you may have never been down. He is the only one that can do it, he is the only one that can teach you and show you. Bless you as you travel the roads less traveled.
