A
constant rehearsal of the mind, spirit or heart training is the only way for
stability in life and valuable undertakings. How can this be done? Only in the
place of prayer can spiritual intents are planned and executed.
One
day, quietly on my knees; I clearly noticed an urge to apply my inner being to
relate with God. And instantly, I heard Him communed within me; 1Cor 2:16 “For
‘who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?’ But we have the
mind of Christ.”
The
necessity to involve my heart into work; except my inner being is fully engaged
in God’s Word-thoughts; it has an uncontrollable tendency to just get busy with
things that are irrelevant to one’s spiritual increase.
So,
as I remained insistently silent with the clear determined intention to allow
the Spirit of God take charge of my spirit being; and allow my mind to be ruled
by the very mind of Christ; or also allow God’s heart to replace my own heart.
It
was a perfect approach to the inner discipline of my life. The more I allowed
it, the more I had assurance of its reality function within me. This can
develop into God’s reality; miracles and signs and wonders truly working in and
through the believer.
The
following and other similar scriptures can help in the meditative exercises of
the inner being:
Rom
8:6; “For
to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and
peace.” 1Cor 2:16; “For who has
known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of
Christ.” Php 2:5; “Let
this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.”
