The LORD has given us
(believers) something wonderful. We have the spirit mind of Christ in the form
of the Holy Spirit. 1) The spirit of the LORD 2) the Spirit of wisdom and of 3)
understanding, 4) the Spirit of counsel and of 5) power, 6) the Spirit of
knowledge and of 7) the fear of the LORD-- Isaiah 11:2.
12We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.c 14The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man’s judgment:
16“For who has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct him? 1 Corinthians 2: 12-16
With this wonderful gift that was given to us, it helps us to be effective in our Christian walk on earth. For we cannot produce any good thing without Christ. **"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5. Therefore we get our spiritual nourishment directly from God.
In the situation with Chris Dorner, for what we have heard, he felt he was unjustly punished. He got so angry that evil thoughts formed and with him continually dwelling on those thoughts produced bad fruit. ** 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. ***Jesus Christ is the producer of good fruit but those who produce bad fruit, get theirs from Satan. Regarding Chris Dorner his thoughts were wicked and he was consumed with revenge. In the end, he lost his life.
One of my favorite scriptures is Phillippians 4:8 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Whenever you are put in a situation where you become angry, stop and think on the things mentioned in Philippians and act on the spirit that was given to you. We do not want to ignore the warning that God gave to Cain when he was angry and jealous. Gen 4:7 If you do well, won’t you be accepted? But if you don’t do well, sin is lying outside your door ready to attack. It wants to control you, but you must master it.”** Although, according to Chris, he did nothing wrong, but, his thoughts of revenge consumed him and sin attacked him and he did not control those thoughts and therefore sin took over him while he was being feed and malnourished by Satan's lies.
The mind is very powerful and we must always keep our minds on Christ!!!
God Bless you. I love you
