The Mind of Christ by T. W. Hunt

The Transforming Power of Thinking His Thoughts....

My desire was to become more like Christ. But I had never heard the phrase "having the mind of Christ". But as I search the scriptures through this book, I see all that He had to say about the mind (often times referred to as the heart) and His instructions on how to transform it. In working hard to be like Christ in words and deeds, I have failed to see the affects my mind has on my spiritual walk. Wow! No wonder, I am left feeling like such a failure! Until my mind has been completely made new, my actions will continue to follow my old way of thinking, for "the mind and conscience are defiled". To learn and see the mind of Christ leaves me wanting more of Him, to think like HIm, to have a mind like Him!!! But though I may think I want it desperately, God is even more anxious for me to have the mind of Christ than I am! He desires to fix my "wanter". The Spirit desires to produce fruit in me, the work is not mine to do but His. It is His will that I be like Christ!! "Seek ye first the kingdom of God", that is the focus.
