The Treasure Series | TRUTH | Who Does She Think She Is?

Who does she think she is?  We have probably all used this expression at least once or twice and it usually has tones of disdain.  Not a compliment for sure.  It is right up there with “get off your high horse” and other derogatory remarks.

If I told you I had the mind of Christ, what would be your reaction? 

Would you think I was prideful and arrogant?  If I told you that I am holy and blameless and God loves me completely just the way I am?  Because that is exactly what I am telling you.  I Elaine Drew Baird Grubbs from Lindale, Georgia am an heiress and a daughter of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  I am a supernatural being with supernatural powers.  And I am here on assignment to dispense the love of God and dispel the darkness with the light of the Son of God shining out of my frail aging earth suit.

And so are you (well maybe not frail and aging) if Jesus lives in your heart and his spirit has taken up residence in your “earthen vessel.”  We have super powers!  And this first one we are tackling today will stretch our minds.  

There is lots of proof here straight from Paul’s pen, so hold on tight.

I am breaking it down for you to  read and ponder.

This is so amazing it is hard to wrap our minds around, but the reality of Christianity is that God has given the believer the supernatural ability to understand the heart and mind of God.

1 Corinthians 2:7-16

…we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.

None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

However, as it is written:  “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”—these things God has prepared for those who love him—

these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.  The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.

This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.

The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments,

for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?”  But we have the mind of Christ.

Could this be the reason we sometimes find ourselves in conversations where we feel like everyone else is speaking a different language?  The reason why believers are so excited to be together like we have found our people.  Because we all have the mind of Christ?  The ability to see life and this world through the mind and heart of God.  

Truth is our first TREASURE.  Real TRUTH.  God’s TRUTH because we have been given the mind of Christ.  Check out Colossians 1:24-27 and  2:3.

By the way,

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
