Tongues,
and groanings that can’t be uttered.

SPEAKING IN TONGUES
CAN BE GOD SPEAKING …
|
|
Speaking (or singing) in tongues
can be:
angels speaking (or
singing) 1 Cor c13 v1
or, more usually, God
speaking (or singing), through you
in your language,
|
|
or, more usually still,
in an unknown language. Acts c2 v1-11
|
|
through
one believer
and interpreted by another
believer
1 Cor 14 v27:
If any man
speak in an unknown tongue,
let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course;
and let one interpret.
KJV
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
or through
one believer
and interpreted by that same
believer.
1 John c2
v20:
But
ye have an unction from the Holy One,
and ye know all things. KJV
, Perhaps see a result of Andrew Wommack’s
teaching:
, Tongues was the
key to a dad miraculously healing his son, , , ,
|
|
.
|
|
… OR,
SPEAKING IN TONGUES
CAN BE YOUR HEART/SPIRIT SPEAKING
|
|
Or, speaking
(or singing) in tongues
can be:
Your heart/spirit expressing itself:
Speaking (or
singing)
specifically to God.
Or simply
expressing itself
and heard by God.
Tongues bypasses your mind &
emotions,
both of which are in your
soul.
1 Cor c14 v2:
For he that speaketh
in an unknown tongue
speaketh not unto men, but unto God:
for no man understandeth him;
howbeit
in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. KJV
1 Cor c14 v18-19:
I thank my God,
I speak with tongues more than ye all:
Yet in the church I had
rather speak
five words with my understanding,
that by
my voice I might teach
others also,
than ten thousand words in
an unknown tongue. KJV
|
|
This self-expression form
of speaking in tongues:
is
when you’re speaking to God
but you’re stuck
for words.
Hence, for a change:
your
heart/spirit speaks,
and
your mind (& emotions)
may
follow.
That the mind may
follow
means that normal
language
may also occur:
In
your own thoughts.
Or in
another person
who
interprets what you said.
|
|
.
|
|
This self-expression form
of speaking in tongues:
By
bypassing your mind
bypasses
any unbelief you may have
(all
of which is in the mind).
Indeed,
bypasses all your bad points
(all
of which are in the mind).
|
|
If God’s Spirit within you also starts
speaking
then you break free of the world:
Free
of the world-track of your life
that you’re otherwise locked into.
The world-course of your day
of which you know much of what will happen.
Your focus, your view,
goes instead to where God wants it to be.
Then you can see
what to pray for
(whether you continue praying in tongues
or normally).
|
|
.
|
|
I also reckon
that:
just as dreaming is
your mind
organising its memories
while it is asleep,
so also:
this self-expression form of
speaking in tongues is
your heart/spirit
organising your mind
while it is awake.
It’s your heart/spirit,
not only expressing itself,
but also rebuilding your mind.
Jude v20:
ctd … building up yourselves
on your most
holy faith,
praying in
the Holy Ghost, KJV
,, ,, Perhaps
see:
,, ,, One
of Andrew Wommack’s TV programmes on spirit, soul & body, , , , , ,
|
|
.
|
|
Tongues
is not a language known to your mind.
Hence your mind is
nonplussed.
That’s why your heart/spirit
is able to use tongues
(for self-expression &
for rebuilding):
without your mind
cutting
in and getting in the way;
without your mind
even being able
to
cut in and get in the way..

GOD’S SPIRIT
GROANING
|
|
The concepts, in brown text,
in this section and the next,
are from Andrew Wommack’s
audio teaching: Groaning in The Spirit. ,
You groaning in the Spirit
Or,
to be precise, God’s Spirit groaning, silently, inside you,
is needed when:
There is opposition:
something
(unbelief, or a curse)
or someone (human
or demon)
that you know little or nothing about
somewhere
who is doing something
to stumble you.
Rom c8 v26:
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we
should pray for as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which cannot
be uttered. KJV
, It’s the Spirit who
is groaning. So it’s silent.
, But you may inadvertently add sounds of your own.
, Hence people heard Jesus groan twice, in: John c11 v33-38, , , ,
|
|
Consider the following text
(in total, it’s John c11 v1-44):
John c11 v1-20: my
abbreviation
1 - 20 Mary & her sister
Martha
sent a message, to
Jesus,
that their brother,
Lazarus, was sick.
Jesus deliberately
postponed visiting them
so that Lazarus would
die before he got there.
When he arrived Martha
met him outside the town.
Whereas Mary was still
in the town, in the house,
with many other
‘mourners’
who’d come to ‘comfort’
Martha & Mary. my abbn
, John c11 v21-24: my
abbreviation
21 Martha said to Jesus:
“Lord, if you’d
been here he’d still be alive.
22
But I know that, whatever you ask God for,
he’ll give it to you.”
23 Jesus said:
“Your brother
will rise again.”
24 Martha said:
“Yes. I know he will rise –
when everybody is resurrected.” my abbreviation
, John c11 v25-27: KJV
25 Jesus said unto
her,
I am the resurrection, and
the life:
he that believeth in me,
though he were dead,
yet shall he live:
26 and whosoever liveth and
believeth in me
shall never die.
Believest
thou this?
27 She saith unto him,
Yea, Lord: I believe that
thou art the Christ,
the Son of God,
which should come into the
world. KJV
, John c11 v28-32: my
abbreviation
, 28 – 32 Then Martha left Jesus
and went [into the
town] to tell Mary, secretly:
that Jesus had
arrived,
& that Mary
should come out [of the town]
so that Jesus
could speak to her [alone].
So Mary obeyed: left the house,
and went to Jesus.
But all the others, weeping,
nevertheless followed
her,
assuming that she was going to the
grave.
When Mary got to Jesus she fell at
his feet, saying:
“Lord, if you’d been here,
he’d still be
alive. my abbreviation
, John c11 v33-44: KJV
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping,
and the Jews also
weeping which came with her,
he groaned in the
spirit, and was troubled,
34 and
said,
Where have ye
laid him?
They said unto him,
Lord, come and
see.
35 Jesus
wept.
36 Then said the Jews,
Behold how he
loved him!
37 And
some of them said,
Could not this
man, which opened the eyes of the blind,
have caused that
even this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore
again groaning in himself
cometh to the grave.
It
was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 Jesus said,
Take ye away the
stone.
Martha,
the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him,
Lord, by this
time he stinketh:
for he hath been dead four days.
40 Jesus saith unto her,
Said
I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe,
thou
shouldest see the glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone
from the place where the dead was
laid.
And
Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said,
Father,
I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always:
but
because of the people which stand by I said it,
that
they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken,
he cried with a loud
voice,
Lazarus,
come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth,
bound
hand and foot with graveclothes:
and
his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus
saith unto them,
Loose him, and
let him go. KJV
|
|
.
|
|
Normally I’d say:
unbelief in the patient . .
stops miracles
unbelief in spectators
. . . has no effect.
However, if the patient can see or hear spectators
and if those spectators:
have unbelief
and can be timely prompted
to speak, by demons,
then:
the patient can ‘catch’
unbelief from the spectators.
Hence, in this situation, Mary and Martha were the patients,
not Lazarus:
Jesus
groaned for Mary twice: v33 & v38.
Jesus spoke to Martha’s heart/spirit twice: v21-27 & v39-40.
Jesus groaned to
prevent the mourners (the spectators)
causing unbelief in Martha and Mary (the patients)
which would otherwise have
stopped Jesus raising Lazarus.
, This kind of
groaning isn’t normal groaning.
, Jesus thanked God
for hearing him, v41-42, even though he
hadn’t prayed.
, So Jesus must be calling
this groaning a form of prayer.
|
|
On both
occasions – look what happened
just before Jesus groaned in the Spirit.
John c11
v33-38: KJV
33 When
Jesus therefore saw her weeping,
and the Jews also weeping
which came with her,
he
groaned
in the spirit, and was troubled,
34 and
said,
Where have ye
laid him?
They said unto him,
Lord, come and
see.
35 Jesus
wept.
36 Then
said the Jews,
Behold how he
loved him!
37 And some of them said,
Could not this
man, which opened the eyes of the blind,
have caused that
even this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself
cometh to the grave.
It was a cave, and a
stone lay upon it. KJV
|
|
Normally
Lazarus would have been the patient,
the one whose lack of unbelief was vital to him getting well.
But he was actually dead, rather than just sick.
So his belief and lack of unbelief
could not help him rise from the dead.
So we should not consider Lazarus to be the patient.
|
|
.
|
|
So, Mary and Martha were the patients:
They were the ones that demons & Jesus were
targeting.
Their lack of unbelief was vital for Lazarus rising.
Martha’s
faith was weaker than Mary’s. Luke c10 v38-42
Hence
Martha was demons’ & Jesus’ primary target,
Mary the secondary target.
The two conversations that Jesus
had with Martha
showed she was a target.
See: John c11 v21-27 and v39-40.
Before these two
conversations
a crowd of mourners had
arrived. See: John c11 v19
Even Martha was suspicious
of their motives
as shown by her telling Mary
secretly of Jesus’ arrival. v28
Martha was later
proven right
because, after
Lazarus was raised,
many of that
crowd became believers
but some went
straight to the authorities
who wanted Jesus
dead
in order to give
them ammunition. v45-53
So, Jesus was
suddenly confronted with a weeping Mary
and a weeping crowd trailing
close behind her.
The crowd’s
unbelief shown by:
their weeping v32-33
and
their, probably
cynical, criticism of Jesus. v37
If Jesus had not then
groaned
that crowd would have
encouraged unbelief
in the minds of Mary &,
more importantly, Martha. v38
which would have stopped
Lazarus rising.
|
|
.
|
|
Unbelief is not
in the heart/spirit.
Unbelief is in the mind, which is in the soul.
Hence unbelief, in one person,
can be stilled, de-activated, from the outside,
by God’s Spirit groaning inside another person:
God’s Spirit groaning, in a
believer,
causes the Father to command
many things,
probably both natural &
miraculous.
Hence, though groaning may
seem simple to us,
to God it’s
complex.
|
|
Groaning is complex because it needs to be complex
to outmanoeuvre the free
wills
of probably a number of
humans & demons.
Free wills that God had commanded to exist.
, Goodness knows what mind games God is playing with demons:
, o, Letting them become conceited
, so that they think they can beat him,
, while he leads them to failure.
, o, Being very open & honest
, (but letting demons think it’s a bluff, or a
double bluff.)
, o, Etc.
|
|
.
|
|
|
I
DIFFER FROM ANDREW WOMMACK
AS TO WHY
JESUS GROANED
|
|
|
Groaning is alluded to in Gal c4 v19
but only actually mentioned
in the following two places:
1) John c11 v33-38: Full account: John c11 v33-44.
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping,
and the Jews also
weeping which came with her,
he groaned in the spirit, and
was troubled,
and said,
Where have ye
laid him?
They said unto him,
Lord, come and
see.
Jesus wept.
Then said the Jews,
Behold how he
loved him!
And some of them said,
Could not this
man,
which opened the
eyes of the blind,
have caused that
even this man
should not have
died?
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself
cometh to the grave.
It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
KJV
2) Rom
c8 v26:
Likewise the Spirit
also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we
should pray for as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which
cannot be uttered. KJV
|
|
|
Andrew, I say wrongly, used:
Rom c8 v26
to
calculate the meaning of Jesus’ groaning in:
John c11 v33-38.
(Rom c8 v26 works for our groaning, but not for Jesus’ groaning.)
Hence Andrew concluded
that Jesus groaned because of his own
infirmity;
infirmity due to:
o Him
being human as well as God.
o The challenge of having to raise someone
from the dead
who
had been dead for four days.
From Wommack’s: Audio Teaching / Prayer Series / Groaning
in The Spirit, , , , , , , ,
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
But I now give four reasons why I reckon that:
o Jesus had no infirmity,
of his own, to groan for.
o Jesus groaned for others’ infirmity.
|
|
|
1) In John c11 v33-38,
see first cell of this section:
On both occasions – look what happened
just before Jesus groaned in the Spirit.
|
|
|
2) Jesus exhibited no infirmity at all
when raising the widow of Nain’s son from the dead.
|
|
|
3) Admittedly Jairus’
daughter had been dead
only hours, not four days.
Mark c5 v22-24 & v35-43
& Luke c8 v41-42 & v49-56
But Jesus exhibited no
infirmity at all
when raising her from the
dead.
The only problem
Jesus had with Jairus’ daughter
was unbelief in
the crowd.
And he solved
that problem naturally
by putting them
out of the room.
, , , Perhaps see fourth cell (starting Hence, if there was unbelief)
, , , of
earlier section: UNBELIEF IS A
BREAK IN THE CIRCUIT.
, , , Though note the cell after it.
Jesus had a
similar crowd problem with Lazarus.
Mind you, with
Lazarus:
o The
crowd was in the open (harder to control).
o The crowd would have been more
disobedient.
, , , Perhaps see paragraph
, , , , , , (starting Before these two conversations)
, , , in sixth cell of previous section: GOD’S SPIRIT GROANING.
o The prospect of unbelief in the patients,
Martha
& Mary,
meant
that speed was of the essence.
So Jesus’ only
option was to groan.
|
|
|
4) In Mark c9 v28-29 &
Matt c17 v18-20
Jesus exhibited no infirmity
at all
when casting out a violent
demon from a boy.
Indeed, he implied that:
he found it easy
& so should
we. Matt c17 v14-20
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
To
conclude, in John c11 v1-44, I reckon that Jesus:
o Had no infirmity, of
his own, to groan for.
o Groaned for others’ infirmity.
However, Andrew is the only one I’ve ever heard speak
about groaning. The subject had been
completely new to me.
And, importantly, he teaches on its practical use, by us.
Hence:
I am grateful to Andrew for
causing me to think about
groaning, respectfully disagree as
to why Jesus’ groaned,
and am very grateful to Andrew for
the rest of his teaching
on groaning, indeed, for all of
his teaching.

HOW TO RENEW
YOUR MIND
|
|
Roughly
speaking, there are three stages
to growing as a Christian.
|
|
The
first stage
is when circumstances force us to
go to God.
The stick.
, “I’ll die
one day.” or “I’m dying now.”
, and “I want to go to Heaven, not Hell, when I die.”
, Luke c15 v11-32:
, God is like a father who loved his two sons.
, One son asked for his inheritance in advance
, but then wasted it all on wild, immoral,
living.
, Hungry, he returned home to apologise
deeply. my abbreviation
|
|
The
second stage
is when our hearts/spirits
start to renew our minds.
The carrot.
We believe, within the
heart/spirit and within the mind,
Jesus’ promises of:
Miracles, from
God, blessing us.
Material
benefits, from people, blessing us.
, Mark c11 v22-24 (Matt c21 v21-22):
, And Jesus
answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
, For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this
mountain,
, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the
sea;
, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe
, that those things which he saith shall come to pass;
, he shall have whatsoever he saith.
, Therefore I say unto you, What things soever
ye desire,
, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. KJV
, Mark c10 v29-30 (Luke c18 v29-30):
, And Jesus answered and said Verily I
say unto you,
, There is no man that hath left
house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother,
, or wife, or children, or lands, for
my sake, and the Gospel's,
, but he shall receive an hundredfold
now in this time,
, houses, and brethren, and sisters,
and mothers, and children, and lands,
, with persecutions; and in the world
to come eternal life. KJV
|
|
The
third and final stage of growing as a Christian
is when our hearts/spirits
finish renewing our minds.
So that we become both:
opposite to demons
, , , John c10 v10:
, , , The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy:
, , , I am come that they might have life,
, , , and that they might have it more abundantly. KJV
, , , (A more abundant
life = doing miracles; being
materially blessed;
, , , being always full of joy – due in part to:
the next life being more gladdening
, , , than the
persecutions of this one are saddening; etc.)
and:
opposite to the world
, , , 1 John c2 v15-17:
, , , Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
, , , If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in
him.
, , , For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the
lust of the eyes,
, , , and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the
world.
, , , And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof:
, , , but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. KJV
, , , John c12 v25:
, , , He that loveth his life shall lose it;
, , , and he that hateth his life in this world
, , , shall keep it unto life eternal. KJV
therefore serving,
not selfish.
, Matt c18 v1-4 Matt c20 v25-27 Matt c23 v11-12 Mark c9 v35.
, Luke c9 v46-48 Luke c22 v24-27.
, The greatest in the kingdom of Heaven is the
‘least’,
, is the one who serves others the most. my abbreviation
, Perhaps see first & second cells
, of earlier section:
, IN WHAT WAYS DID GOD MAKE THE UNIVERSE SECOND CLASS?
N.B. Church history echoes these three stages.
Perhaps see third cell (starting Here are three of Dan’s)
of earlier section: ABOUT BIBLICAL
TEACHER-HEALERS GENERALLY.

There are a
number of ways you can renew your mind.
One way is the
self-expression type of speaking in tongues
that I mentioned earlier, on this webpage:
Jude v20:
ctd … building up yourselves
on your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Ghost, KJV
It’s your heart/spirit that’s the first to believe
that you are sinless.
So it’s up to your heart/spirit to renew your mind:
o Duplicate its belief
into your mind.
o Then establish the pattern
of that belief,
the pattern of
the Gospel, agape love,
throughout your mind,
despite
resistance from within & from without.
|
|
If you are new to praying
in tongues, then:
, , o Whenever
you find yourself worrying about something
, pray in
tongues about it instead.
, o Pray about
your deeply held hopes & fears:
, , Your mind
won’t find the words
, so it’ll
come out as tongues.
|
|
.
|
|
The fabric of your mind is made of:
Memories of:
sights &
sounds, e.g. words,
smells, tastes,
& touches,
of this temporary
universe,
that you’ve taken in.
Whereas the framework of
your mind is made of:
Phrases &
concepts,
made of words:
that you’ve built
inside yourself.
, , Blue text copied from earlier
section: HUMANS.,,,,,
|
|
Hence,
as well as speaking in tongues,
it’s also vital to absorb phrases & concepts.
Phrases & concepts that are in:
The Bible, especially the
New Testament,
notably Jesus’ phrases &
concepts.
Worship songs, posters, etc.
Good preaching &
teaching, verbal or written.
God’s spoken, or otherwise,
words
directly to you
or directly to another
person.
(Of course, if you see
miracles
then it’s not just words,
not just phrases & concepts.
It’s experiences too.)
|
|
.
|
|
You
believe in someone
only if you know them.
Not if you know
only about them.
Hence your relationship with
God
should be your largest, and
most real, relationship.
, , One result of this relationship with God would be
, , that you increasingly replace your concentric circles of
selfishness
, , with concentric circles of love.
, , See third cell (starting Or, to put it another way) , , , ,
, , of earlier section:
, , IN WHAT WAYS DID GOD MAKE THE UNIVERSE SECOND CLASS?
|
|
This kind of obedience is not like the
world’s obedience:
It’s not:
God is strong & you are weak and God is right & you are wrong.
It’s:
God is strong & God is good and God’s in you & you like that.
If your mind remained un-renewed:
interacted with only the
world
with little input from:
o Your heart/spirit.
o God’s Spirit.
o The Bible (particularly the New Testament).
o Other believers.
then your soul
remains:
your only controller
& your primary identity.
But in a believer who’s renewed their mind:
the heart/spirit controls the soul
and the soul
controls the actions.
|
|
.
|
|
Technically speaking, you renew your
mind as follows:
God is basically,
and definitely in this
Church Age,
entirely constructive.
, , , See third
cell of earlier webpage:
God’s origin
, , , and earlier section:
, , , IN JESUS, THE FATHER REVEALS HIS HEART TO US.
So, in order to:
do natural &
miraculous good,
here & now,
and:
co-exist with God’s
Spirit, eternally,
in the new Earth,
we too must become
entirely constructive.
|
|
You may say:
“It’s easy for God to be
entirely constructive.
But not for us:
God is robust,
and surrounded by good angels.
We are fragile, and surrounded by whoever.
If we were entirely constructive, here,
there’d always be
someone who would eventually
take advantage of
us, rob us, perhaps even kill us.”
, See earlier
sections:
, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES
, and:
, YOU MUST RENEW YOUR MIND.
I reply:
“Jesus solved that problem
as follows:
a) Jesus’ crucifixion gave, to all believers:
o Gratitude, and a
renewed mind,
and therefore
agape love, for God, & for others.
o The same powerful Holy Spirit he had.
b) Jesus told us that we’d have an eternal life:
with new
bodies Luke c22 v30
and new
homes John c14 v2-3
c) hence he also told us that, while we are here:
we should hold on
to our possessions
only
lightly. Matt c24 v16-18
Luke c17 v30-33.
|
|
b) & c):
Won’t make us believers
robust, like God.
But will make us believers
not care
that we are currently
temporary & fragile.
And this frees us – from fearing others
to loving others.
1 John c4 v18:
There
is no fear in love;
but perfect love casteth out fear:
because fear hath
torment.
He that feareth is not made perfect in love. KJV
To the above: add
Jesus’ promises
, Perhaps see
earlier section: CONTINUING
THE SON’S WORK.
and we believers can become
in this life
as like God as we
can become.
1 John c4 v17
1 Pet c1 v13-16
1 John c2 v15-17“
, Perhaps see
earlier section: GOD
THE SPIRIT, , , , .
|
|
We will never be completely like Jesus:
We are like him:
In
that we love everyone, have God’s Spirit,
do miracles,
are persecuted.”
, Perhaps again see earlier
sections:
, CONTINUING
THE SON’S WORK
, and:
, GOD
THE SPIRIT.
But we are also unlike him:
In
that he saved us, he is our saviour.
We are the saved, the bought, the prize.
|
|
|
|
The Father:
has done bad, been destructive, in
the past,
does good now
will do bad in the future.
, Perhaps see earlier
section:
, GOD
DOES NOT CHANGE BUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH US CHANGES.
But the Father’s heart/spirit:
is always loving, always good,
always constructive.
, Perhaps see
earlier section:
, IN JESUS, THE FATHER REVEALS HIS HEART TO US.
And, during this Church Age:
all three persons of God,
Father, Son, & Spirit,
are only loving.
, Perhaps see earlier
section:
, THE CHURCH AGE and its subsections.
Hence we Christians:
by modelling ourselves
on the Son
and by accepting Jesus’
Father as also our Father
and by having God’s Spirit,
are also:
only loving,
only constructive.
E.G. We Christians are loving, constructive,
even when people don’t love us back.
Hence Jesus commanded
us to:
Matt c10 v8 (Luke c9 v2 Luke c10 v9):
Heal
the sick, cleanse the lepers,
raise the dead,
cast out devils … ctd KJV
yet also
to:
Matt c5 v38-48 Luke c6 v27-36:
Love, do good
to, pray for, your enemies. my abbn
From a
temporary, earthly, practical, point of view,
these two commands may
contradict each other,
and may not, together,
be constructive.
But from at eternal,
Heavenly, motives, point of view,
both are constructive.

In the
beginning,
God was:
entirely constructive.
, , Perhaps see third
cell
, , of earlier
webpage: God’s origin.
Then, during the Old
Testament age,
God was:
both constructive and destructive.
, , Perhaps see
earlier webpage: The good & bad that God does.
Now, during this New
Testament age, this Church Age,
God is:
entirely constructive again.

If you:
are a believer
and so have God’s Spirit in your heart/spirit.
And if your heart/spirit:
has renewed your
mind accordingly
such that God’s
Spirit is in all of you.
Then you too:
are entirely constructive
forever.

HOW
TO RENEW YOUR MIND: SOME DETAILS
|
|
It may take you around three years (or more)
to completely renew your mind.
That’s what it took the disciples and Paul.
Though, unlike us:
The disciples mostly renewed
their minds
during their three years
with Jesus.
I.E. Before they received God’s Spirit.
Hence, for them, God’s
Spirit acted like a trigger.
Hence, at Pentecost,
everything seemed to happen
at once.
But, like us:
Paul renewed his mind during
the three years
after receiving God’s Spirit. Gal c1 v17-18 , , .
|
|
, Perhaps see earlier section: YOU MUST RENEW YOUR MIND
, and
, earlier section: WHAT IS A RENEWED MIND?
, and
, immediately after it: DOING MIRACLES
, and
, immediately after that: WHAT IS A RENEWED MIND: SOME DETAILS, , , ,
|
|
.
|
|
It’s not until after you have completely renewed your mind
that:
thinking
, perhaps see
earlier section: THINKING
TOOLS THAT I USED
and
therefore also the emotions
, perhaps see
later webpage: The emotions
, and
, later
sections: WILL and FREE WILL
become of help for doing
miracles.
So, before then:
It may help to switch off your mind & emotions,
leave only your heart/spirit switched on.

Disregarding the lines of cause &
effect (which are complex)
and considering only practical
application,
i.e. focus,
Mark Hemans (a repent, ‘verb, process’ Christian)
inspired me to think & write the following.
Statically:
You are a Christian who has
renewed rooms of your mind (nouns, structures).
Dynamically:
You are a Christian who can,
whenever you want to,
repent, morally turn around 180 degrees, (verb, process).
You stop doing
wrong
&
instead do what’s right.
You step out of
the world
& into the
kingdom of light.
Out of concentric
circles of selfishness
& into
expressing agape love.
Out of not
having:
miraculous
authority (Jesus’ promises)
nor power
(the Holy Spirit)
in
order to do miraculous good
& into
having:
miraculous
authority (Jesus’ promises)
and
power (the Holy Spirit)
in
order to do miraculous good.
Stepping out of the world
& into God’s kingdom
is, perhaps for you
personally,
a better concept
than gradually renewing your
mind:
You’re either in
or you’re out.
If you’re out,
get in.
, , , , Consider: Matt c6 v24-34. , , ,
Though both concepts, static and dynamic, are of use.
