“But we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:16
The Holy Spirit spoke to me today about the chasm between Jesus and mankind.
A chasm is a deep divide or separation between God and humanity.
This divide happens because God has blinded many from seeing who He is. They are in rebellion against God and defy the truths of Jesus.
Most believers weave between Jesus and living for self. The lusts of the flesh can be strong and compelling without the restraints of the Holy Spirit.
For many the world is very tempting and difficult to let go of completely. It provides temporary prosperity and happiness.
To stay out of the chasm the believer must take Jesus seriously and seek His reality and presence.
We cannot take Jesus for granted. Satan is to strong and devious and He knows all your weaknesses. He can get your attention in a moment and then you are sunk in the chasm.
To stay out of the chasm the believer must develop the disciple of prayer, reading the Bible and listening for the voice of Jesus.
Jesus is omniscient and knows every detail of your future. Seek the perfect will of Jesus and inquire of Him in all your decision making. Compulsive behaviors and worldly thinking destroys believers.
The safety net for a believer is the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Jesus. Submit to the authority of the Holy Spirit and always stay in contact with Him. He will keep you out of the chasm and grounded in Jesus.
Please let me know if you have questions or need prayer. I will respond promptly. He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world!
