6-Sept-2020_putting on the mind of God-Pt 1
(Spirit helper speaking: ) Choose the thought that is pure, that is heavenly, that is good, that is of good report, that gives praise to God, the thought that is just and true. 
To “put on the mind of Christ”: choose the thought that shows those good things in that verse Phil. 4. 
PHI.4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

And the “wisdom that is from above” that is pure, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits.
JAM.3:17-18 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

It’s choosing a different set of ethics and morals and standard. 
It’s choosing different reflexes and modes of doing things. 
It’s choosing to simply let God’s Holy Spirit take over and teach you how to respond, what to say, what to assume or to think about something. 
It’s putting the natural or the “expected” reactions aside, or leaving them in the past. 
It’s starting a new life, with the old past away and not called on or expected to react. 
It’s like being like a baby who has to learn to talk. Sure, they can babble, like a person in adult skin can also. But you want to learn a completely new way of talking, and to do that you have to listen to your Heavenly teacher to guide you and teach you what to say. Or like a person who is learning a new language, and no one will take action or know what they are trying to say if they use their old language. So, word by word, they learn to speak and communicate and relate to the new culture. 
So must you put off the old to embrace the new; and be taught how and what to speak. “It shall be given you what ye shall speak”. 
MAT.10:19-20 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

Putting on God’s mind isn’t something you do once and that is it. It has to be a conscious decision to reach for God’s thoughts. It’s all about creating a vacuum for His thoughts, and ways, and words, and reactions in the things that face you each day. 
For the more your actions match God’s, the greater your reward will be. That’s why you are employed to read and to reflect on and to obey God’s Word, for this gets you all more in line with God’s ways. 
Just like you have to wait for a translator to tell you what someone said, who is speaking in a different language than your own; so must you look to your Heavenly Mother, the Spiritual guide and teacher, to talk to you and help you understand what is really going on, and teach you how to respond. 
This is one good step to “taking on the mind of Christ”.
