you have the mind of Christ the capacity
to think God’s thoughts after him they
will always be true with his word but
they will be applied in your life so
what God does is he shares his thoughts
with you he brings his thoughts into
your

thinking
on my roof there’s a
satellite satellite dish is on my
roof that satellite dish on my roof
receives a
signal from a satellite up there in the
ionosphere that I do not
see but it sends an invisible signal to
the dish on my roof that’s picked up by
the
receiver in my house
what is taken from my
roof from the
satellite in
space that’s communicated to my
receiver allows me to see a
picture on the
screen of my
TV a signal from up there is
grabbed on my roof Pro translated to my
receiver so I can see
clearly what an invisible wave has to
say when a
person accepts
Christ God
installs a
receiver a capacity to pick up signal
from up there you don’t see up there but
it’s a
frequency this
frequency is translated into your house
your
body and picked up on by a
receiver the
satellite in your life is your
soul your soul is the satellite to pick
up the signal from what you can’t
see to the house that your soul lives in
where your satellite dish is
located connected to the satellite dish
of the soul is a
receiver your
spirit your spirit
receiver Translate
relates to your
soul a picture if you will of the
frequency from
heaven so that you can live it out in
history because we do
not either understand it or operate by
it we have re receivers that are
regularly turned
off now if you’re a Believer you have
one but if a receiver is turned off you
don’t get a picture even though you have
the capacity to get a picture every
believer has been given the capacity of
the Holy Spirit to speak to the human
Spirit to talk to the soul so you can
see spiritual
reality but because we do not operate
that way
consistently we’re often looking at a
blank TV
screen we’re not getting a
picture Paul talks about this in
detail in 1 Corinthians chapter 2 where
he informs us about the frequency of
Heaven he says in verse 9 for just as it
is written things which eye hath not
seen ear hath not heard and which has
not entered into the heart of man all
that God has prepared for those who love
him now first when you hear that you
might think he’s talking about heaven
but look at verse 10 for to us God
revealed them through the
spirit so he’s talking about something
that God has revealed not something that
is awaiting Us in the Sweet By and
By he’s talking about The Illuminating
work of the
spirit to give us the frequency of
Heaven the invisible wave from up there
what God has
revealed through his
spirit that allows the receiver to
translate it to your life we’ll tell you
how as we go
along he says for the spirit verse 10
searches out all things even the Deep
things of God
God’s spirit the third member of the
Trinity has access to God’s
database verse
11 who for who among men knows the
thoughts of a man except the spirit of
the man which is in him even so the
thoughts of God no one knows except the
spirit of God he says the spirit knows
the Deep deep things of God because the
spirit is the third member of the
Trinity he is God and so he knows the
Deep things of God and of course God has
all knowledge about all things because
he’s he is
omniscient full
knowledge and the spirit knows
that so since the spirit knows all that
God knows
then to get correct information from God
you have to be in touch with the spirit
cuz he’s got the
information let’s
continue now we have received talking
about Christians Believers not the
spirit of the world this is very
important stay with me here but the
spirit who is from
God so that we may know the things
freely given to us by God I need to read
that verse again for we have received
every Christian has received the
receiver not the spirit of the
world but the spirit who cuz he’s a
person who is from God so that we may
know the things freely given to us
by
God
that verse is
pregnant if you want to
know the things that God has to
say you cannot be operating from the
spirit of the world amen amen you see
says we’ve not been given the spirit of
the world that’s not what God gave us he
gave us the spirit that is from
God and the beautiful thing about it is
he says it’s
free well when we learn when you and I
learn increasingly progressively
ongoingly to operate by means of the
spirit things get clearer this is called
illumination John says this in St John
Chapter
14 verse
17 that is the spirit of
Truth whom the world cannot
receive because it does not see him or
know him but you know him because he
abides with you and will be in
you he
says the world came can’t get this
information so if you’re not operating
with the receiver that God has placed in
you you don’t get the information either
because you’re not operating on this
receiver which he calls the spirit of
Truth similar to what he’s saying
here our goal today is to increase turn
up the dimmer switch our ability to pick
up the
frequency of
heaven and so he says you have the
spirit you have receiver you
received he goes deeper verse
13 which things we also
speak not in words taught by human
wisdom watch it but in those taught by
the spirit
comparing spiritual thoughts with
spiritual
words he
says you cannot get this data this
information this
signal by human wisdom meaning man’s
thinking independently of God human
wisdom is the perspective of man in
dependently of God
you the receiver won’t work the the new
receiver won’t work won’t come on
because it’s not given to human wisdom
so the moment you bring man’s Viewpoint
into the
discussion that is contrary to God’s
Viewpoint your receiver shuts off you
you don’t cancel its existence cuz the
spirit of God is in you but it shuts
down
one of the reasons why we don’t pick up
the signal is it has to keep shutting
down every
day because we appeal to human
wisdom we go to man’s thinking in the
penalty of God and we do this on every
subject known to man we do this on Race
we do this on gender we do this on
knowledge we do this on education we do
you pick the subject we do this on
relationships we we quickly go to man’s
Wisdom human thought he says once you do
that once you do that you have placed
yourself in
antithesis to God’s
perspective he says the way it works is
you compare spiritual thoughts with
spiritual words meaning you must bring
your thinking in line with God’s
thinking spiritual words God what God
has to say about
it God has installed in you and me new
software and that software is designed
to run on his
receiver and only his
receiver and whenever information is
brought over to that receiver that is
not consistent with God it
is booted it is rejected it is denied
the wavelength shuts
off and you cannot
receive because that’s not what he gave
you in fact it’s worse than that verse
14 but a natural man or
woman does not accept the things of the
spirit of
God for they are foolishness to
him and he cannot understand
them because they are
spiritually
appraised when you and I were born we
were born with with a
defect called the sin
nature it’s like a mirror that’s been
cracked and
distorted every person born is born with
a
cracked Soul because they’re born with a
dead
Spirit when a person is converted that
that’s the natural thing cuz it’s
natural to every person
born when a person accepts Christ they
are
converted so that the spirit the
receiver comes
alive in order to
communicate to the cracked Soul CU
everybody’s born with a cracked
soul but this new receiver can send data
to the crack
soul but the natural man does not have
this
receiver so the natural man operates
with a cracked soul that doesn’t pick up
a Divine
wavelength you can’t pick it up it says
it cannot he cannot understand
it now the problem
is that a Christian can function
naturally that’s why chapter 3 verse
verses 1 to three calls them carnal or
fleshly Christians he says the natural
man
cannot receive the things from the
spirit of God verses 15 and
16 but he who is
spiritual not
natural not carnal chapter three he says
I Brethren could not speak to you as to
spiritual men Brethren you’re Christian
but I can’t talk to you like you’re
spiritual but as to Men of Flesh carnal
as to infants and Christ I wish I could
give you this spiritual stuff but y’all
are Christians with your receiver off
did you know you could be in church with
your receiver
off because you’re still functioning
naturally he says but you who are
spiritual who is a spiritual Christian a
spiritual Christian is a man or woman
who consistently operates from a Divine
frame of reference let me say that again
a spiritual
Christian or a spiritual person is a
Christian who consistently operates from
a Divine frame of reference in other
words they want to know God’s
perspective up front as a normal way of
operating now we don’t do it perfectly
in our it and our limitations but the
idea is to do it
progressively he says you who are
spiritual who consistently
operate with the receiver God’s
framework in
mind he says
appraises all
things he
says the spiritual
man has the ability
to see deeper than the external like a
doctor using an x-ray
machine and then he says all things in
other words there is no category that’s
exempt from the appraising work of the
Holy Spirit why because he’s got a
Google search to the whole nature of God
Amen in other words you can’t inform him
he’s
uneducable since God is
uneducable he gives information he
doesn’t receive it
amen so he says the spirit appraises all
things there is no category except but
that’s not all he says he goes on to
say yet he the spiritual person is appr
praise by no one
hello he says the spiritual man
understands all things but folk don’t
understand
him non-spiritual folk can’t figure out
spiritual
folk and the reason why is y’all not
listening to the same
station one group is on am and another
group is on FM and those are two
different
frequencies
he says but the spiritual
man he’s not a praised he’s not fully
understood by the natural man or the
carnal Christian who is functioning as a
natural
person and then he brings it all home in
verse
16 for who has
known the mind of the
Lord that he may instruct him okay that
goes back to Isaiah 4013 who has known
the mind of the
Lord that he may instruct
him the answer obviously is well nobody
can teach God
anything and here it is here it
is but we Christians who are spiritual
well even if you’re not spiritual it’s
true you may not be using it we have the
mind of
Christ he he brings it all home
here every Christian
possesses the mind of Christ like every
human being has a
brain okay let me say that again every
human being has a brain
every Christian has the mind of
Christ what does the brain do send
signals to the body about how it should
operate the brain tells the hand to move
the leg to move the mouth to speak when
there is a stroke when there is an
infirmity of the
brain the data the frequency is not
given to the body at a level that the
body can respond to it there has been a
breakdown in
transmission you have every
Christian the mind of Christ it’s been
planted in you what the brain is to the
body follow me the mind is to the
soul it dispenses
data
frequencies so that the life gets
information from
Heaven into the satellite of the soul
from the receiver of the spirit which
you have receive which is the mind of
Christ is that you now begin to look at
life as Christ would look at it so you
literally begin to think God’s thoughts
after him now why is this
important because where you pick up the
signal is in the mind in the mind I
don’t just mean the brain the mind is
the information center of the Soul like
the brain is the information center of
the body so what God does is he shares
his thoughts with
you he brings his thoughts into your
thinking so that you begin to think as
he’s thinking because the two of you are
thinking alike at the same
time because you’re on the same
wavelength with the
receiver but the moment you start am and
FM in
is jumping
frequencies you’re shutting it
down and the system is not continually
working you have the mind of Christ the
capacity to think God’s thoughts after
him they will always
be true with his word but they will be
applied in your
life you have the mind of Christ there
is a
frequency from
Heaven that informs your
thinking and he says when it informs
your thinking back to verse 9 you will
will see things that eye cannot
see he says you will hear things that
ear cannot
hear and you will perceive things that
have not entered into the heart of man
in other words things you wouldn’t
naturally have come up with
amen so this is not talking about
physical cuz you’re seeing things I
can’t see you’re hearing things ear
can’t hear and you’re perceiving things
that your Humanity can’t perceive he
means he’s giving you a frequency from
another Realm
that goes beyond the physical but enters
the
mind the Bible calls it the renewing of
the mind you begin to think God’s
thoughts after
him as you apply national news based on
his word to your local situation God I’m
in touch with your spirit I need you to
appraise
this the spirit of God does all that cuz
guess what it deals with all things
because Paul says then I will know like
I am now known he says I now look at
life through a glass Darkly but on that
day I will know as I am known so there
will come a time when you won’t have to
wonder you won’t have to search you
won’t have to deal with invisible
wavelength because then face to face you
will see them but in the mean time you
got a receiver that’s been paid for by
the blood of Jesus Christ so why don’t
you keep it on and use it so that you
can get all the benefits of high level
communication with almighty
[Music]
God as I drove around the Rocky
mountains I would often lose signal
signal from the radio signal from the
phone because I was cut off from being
able to
communicate with the towers that would
provide me the ability to hear to text
to
talk as we live our lives on Earth we
can get separated from the frequency of
heaven and not get the sounds from above
to guide us in our Earthly Journey here
below but the frequency of Heaven is
designed to be picked up by God’s people
because it’s located by something God
has placed inside of you to pick up the
glory of God through the work of the
spirit in the soul of man so that you
can actually hear Heaven speak as you
live your life on Earth let’s find out
what that frequency sounds like and how
to stay in touch with it
