An International Fellowship of Spirit-Empowered Believers

The Mind of Christ, The Faith of Christ, The life of Christ.

As nearly as I can tell, The Mind of Christ has been an elusive concept for many believers...myself being no exception. For years I pondered in my mind what this means. I hungered to hear revelatory speaking on it, but never heard much more than teaching about thinking like Christ did 2000 years ago.
Recently, I have discovered that Christ is in me, that He is my new life, and in fact is the only life in me. This was very difficult to process at first, because all of my thoughts had me-as-my-center. I had to come into agreement with the Holy Spirit (The Teacher) to allow Him to totally count my old thought processes and strongholds of thinking as rubbish, and allow the spirit to rebuild the mind in me to accommodate Christ-as-my-center. Since then, I can tell that Christ in me is coming into focus more and more. It's not just the Spirit of Christ in me, living through me, but the Mind of Christ in me that thinks the thoughts you would expect a new creation to think. It is not only Christ living in me, but Christ living AS me....it is no longer I who lives, but Christ that lives in me. I no longer lean on my faith, but His. I no longer lean on my understanding, but His. He does not save me, He IS my salvation. I am letting go of all I was, to receive Him as my entire future. I can say that I love the cross that both kills, and brings resurrected life.

Hi Christ Ryan! I am absolutely delighted to read your blog where you say that Christ is the only life in you. For thirty one years my husband and I walked alone in this revelation of who Christ is, even to being us, His body members. Until now we have had no fellowship with any who wanted to receive Him as their new born self. So few are understanding the new birth - Christ born in us, our hope of glory!
I am excited and happy for you and for all who enter into the wonderful rest of our Lord.

When God first granted me repentance and I asked Him to come into my heart and make Himself known to Me, He spoke into my spirit these words, :" I am yourself." I told Him that I had heard Him but I didn't understand. He then said "Stay with the King James Bible and come and learn of Me. You shall KNOW the truth of Me and the truth shall set you free."

In studying I came to know that Jesus is my only Way, Truth and Life. All Him, not something. And came to realize that the cross of Jesus had set me free of me, that I was crucified with Him, buried with Him into His death, and Jesus entered Me as the Seed Son of God and formed Himself in Me and by agreement with Him, He now lived in place of me. I Corinthians 15 showed me that we are a brand new creation, of which Jesus is the whole!
Nothing left of us, just Christ ! Are we not a brand new race who is Christ the God-Man.
It is wonderful! His name is wonderful! Not only can we know Him as our only life and living, but now we can know Him as all and in all, even as who He is being us. Oh I could go on and on - God bless you and thanks for sharing. Hope to read more from Christ in you!

Well, this is interesting. Before I got this revelation, I was drawn to buy a King James Bible. It was hard to read, but I would find out later why I was drawn to it....if it was for no other reason than to read that I am saved by faith, and that not of myself. Of course, there are many more writings of Paul that the KJV writers seemed to understand more than any other translations I have ever read.
The "me" that says "Christ is in me" is dead, and keeps trying to fantasize that it still lives, but that man is in outer darkness, where there is gnawing and gnashing of teeth. "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first" (1 Thes 4:16)
Such a pleasure to meet you. I love your story...I feel like it happened to me.

It did happen to you! It happened to all who received Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour! Jesus spoke in the old testament saying, "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.'' He also said "I want you to have a wide open heaven" . We just have not all studied and received the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of who Christ is.
He promised us eternal life that we might know our Father and His Son whom He sent. In the seeking to know Him, we are discovering more and more of Him, even to His being who He is being us! Awesome Love that is setting His people free, that we can be free to be nothing to His all being. God tells us in scripture that He is filling all things in heaven and in earth with Jesus Christ, that God might be all and in all. SO exciting!

Yes I agree with you.Christ must increase and I must decrease.He is my peace who has broken down every wall.He is my joy.Joy unspeakable and full of glory.He is my all in all.Jesus paid it all .He is my comfort.He says we will not have anything interfere with the love He has for us.His grace is amazing His mercy forgives us of anything we did wrong .We are living by faith and not sight.He gives us a new heart and abundant life.Jesus is greater than anyone in the world.We do not have to work for Him as He does the work.He is able to accomplish what concerns me today.I do not have to do ,do,do but be,be,be his child who asks Him to live for me.He loves thru my heart and thinks for me.He heals all my fears and inferiorities.He is a mighty God.
