Neither Jesus nor The Holy Spirit speak own Their own for They are in full unity with FATHER. This is the essence of pure fellowship.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 2:
2 Look at how much encouragement you’ve found in your relationship with the Anointed One! You are filled to overflowing with His comforting Love. You have experienced a deepening friendship with the Holy Spirit and have felt His tender affection and mercy.
2 So I’m asking you, my friends, that you be joined together in perfect unity—with one heart, one passion, and united in one Love. Walk together with one harmonious purpose and you will fill my heart with unbounded joy.
FATHER intends for us to be in unity by walking in Agape Love. As we do, we become trustworthy of the Kingdom’s assets and will deploy FATHER’S resources to further the Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven. We are meant to be representatives of Our Heavenly Father, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and The Most Holy Spirit in all we say and do.
FATHER is not looking for us to simply modify our behavior for that is done by our own faculties. Instead, HE intends for us to walk out our lives with a “heart” change and as a result, Agape Love becomes our true nature and intent. As we focus on The Word and diligently plant FATHER’S Seed in our lives, we will ultimately produce a bountiful harvest based on Agape Love. Our part has to do with the soil… our heart. We have the right of choice.
We can choose to submit to our flesh or place it under subjection. We can choose to be controlled by our emotions like a rudderless ship or control them. We can choose to develop our intellect at the expense of our spiritual maturity or we can maintain a proper balance of priorities. It is all up to us.
The Holy Spirit continues through Paul’s writing:
3 Be free from pride-filled opinions, for they will only harm your cherished unity. Don’t allow self-promotion to hide in your hearts, but in authentic humility put others first and view others as more important than yourselves. 4 Abandon every display of selfishness. Possess a greater concern for what matters to others instead of your own interests. 5 And consider the example that Jesus, the Anointed One, has set before us. Let His mindset become your motivation.
We must not be self-absorbed and always look for others to supply our personal needs. FATHER is more than able to supply all our need in every area of our life. HE is the one constant we can always count on but we must not distance ourselves by corruption or contamination.
Jesus walked in full assurance of FATHER’S perfect plan, Will, and purpose. That was His mindset. How did He know FATHER’S Divine Intent? He spent time in prayer consistently and purposefully. He was led by The Holy Spirit in all things and only spoke what FATHER directed. He had no “opinion” but only stood on The Word.
OPINION is when the assent of the understanding is so far gained by evidence of probability, that it rather inclines to one persuasion than to another, yet not without a mixture of uncertainty or doubting.
Notice the words probability, uncertainty, and doubting. Those words have no value or use in Heaven. Every Word FATHER speaks has certainty and accuracy contained therein. This is why Jesus cautioned against idle words.
From circumstances, most people form opinions with respect to future events. I prefer to simply walk according to The Holy Spirit in full trust of His guidance. This is the only way to insure complete success in my calling and proper use of my gifts. FATHER gave me gifts for the purpose of supplying the Body of Christ and furthering HIS Kingdom. Our gifts are not intended for use on behalf of the kingdom of darkness.
We are to walk in the same mindset as our Elder Brother Jesus. That is the extremely Good News. The intent of the New Testament is to guide us into His mindset so as we study and contemplate The Word, our mindset will change and conform to FATHER’S Divine Intent. Oh how simple it is meant to be!
