Spirit to Spirit

The mind of Christ-  a SPIRITUAL mind.  This is the mind we all must possess.  If we don't have a spiritual mind then the things of God will appear to be nothing more than foolishness to us.

How many of you know someone who doesn't believe in God, or any of the things of God? How many know of someone who truly considers the things of God foolish? 
How many of you know someone who consider you a fool for believing in the things of God?

Those people think God and the things of God foolish and they CANNOT know the things of God because they are spiritual and it is this part of themselves they consider foolish.

1Co 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 
1Co 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 
1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 
1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

The spirit of the world is NOT the spirit of God. The spirit of  God is given to us freely.
There is the wisdom of men and the wisdom of God and the Holy Spirit will teach us the things of God.  Spiritual with spiritual. 

Do we have the Spirit, do we have the mind of Christ?

By His grace and mercy we will.  We need the things of God, we need to be able to discern them. Please Lord, please bless us with You, with Your love, with Your spirit, by the Holy Spirit. Please.

In Your LOVE always!
