WORD TO PONDER:  STRONG MEAT; PUT ON THE MIND OF CHRIST JESUS TO STRENGTHEN YOU  12/24/07

After having pursued through a long season, I am recovering My own from burn out.  Just like sweet sugar is not the sustenance for a long race, so it is with the flesh.  Only strong meat will do in this late hour of running My race.  Yes you have spit out strong meat in years prior, but this time around I AM bringing you to understand the need for My protein and fat that feeds your spirit and soul in the deeper mysteries and revelations of My Words. 

I have given you safe boundaries to follow My Word and to protect your mind from carnality.  Always test each Word with scripture.  Always gird your mind with My own parameters.  I will re-establish you to be settled and secure so that you may once again increase your territory in a safe and balanced fashion. 

Beloved one, forsake the temptations to think carnally.  Maturity comes to those who put ON the mind of Christ.  Just like you put on a hat, simply put on a spiritual hat when you hear My Word.  When you put on My mind, you will be strengthened and fully confirmed.  Each and every confirmation shall increase your passion to run the race once again with renewed vigor and expectation. 

Gal 3:26-27 NKJV

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Eph 4:22-24 NKJV

... that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

Col 3:10 NKJV

...put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him...
