E-41 041 I will grant you this. It is psychology in this way. If... "Psyche," of course means "mind." And It's the mind of Christ, that the human being has the privilege to enter in, and know the mind of Christ... Hallelujah. My, what a--a reality to dwell in the channel of Christ. We unworthy mortals have been brought in to be sons and daughters of God to be fellow citizens in--in... Oh my. I get to shouting when I get...
Notice. Into that realm where even Angels can't come... Say, "Angels?" Yes, sir. We're sons and daughters; Angels are servants. That's right. The servants cannot go where sons and daughter will go. They can't enter into that relationship, for they're servants, and we're sons and daughters.
E-8 008 If you notice many times at night, I'll draw the attention of somebody and start talking to them, especially on the platform. They'll be speaking to them. First, I have to get the contact of their soul. And then when it begins to vibrate against you, then the power of the Holy Spirit just discerns right out down through their life, and you see the picture of it before you.
And now, you might think,
"Well, that's psychology." Well, if it is, Paul used it when he
looked upon a man, said, "I perceive you have faith to be healed. Stand
upon your feet."
And it is psychology in one way; it's the mind of Christ in the Christian, moving. See, it's not our mind, not our psychology, but the power of Christ, His mind. Let the mind of Christ be in you. See? And then that moves out and knows, not the man, but Christ knows.
E-27 027 And there's where God spoke from the heaven, and he saw the Spirit of God coming like a dove, falling upon a Man Who'd been born in a manger. See, what the world call great, God calls foolish. And what the world calls foolish, God calls great. That's right. So don't mind to be called foolish.
'Cause remember. You can't
have the mind of Christ and the mind of the world at the same time. You
can't be in your way and God's way at the same time. You have to get out of
your own way to let God have His way. That's the only way you're ever going to
do anything. You got to get away from your own thoughts, your own reasons.
Don't try to reason; just believe.

Now, if you've just got--if you've got good reasoning, you'll set
down and try to reason out the Bible, reason, "How could He raise from the
dead? How could these miracles and things take place today in this great realm
of civilization science that we live in?" You try to reason that out,
you're just getting farther away from God all the time. You'll never know Him
by reasoning. God's not known by reason. God's known by faith. You accept
it. You believe it. You can't do it until something happens in you, then the
Holy Spirit comes in and you have the mind of Christ.

492-102 062 Paul said then, "With my mind... ('And I have the mind of Christ, you see?' he said.) I serve God with my mind, but my flesh (how did he word that there at the last?)--but with the flesh, the law of sin." What is it? My flesh says tonight, "You are too tired. Your throat is too sore. You are--you've been out in the wind today. You shall not go to church tonight." That's the law of the flesh. "You just might as well call them up and tell Brother Neville that... Send the questions down and tell him to answer them." But you see, I promised to do it. See?
Now, my mind, on the inside the Holy Spirit said, "You keep your promise."
But the flesh said, "You're too tired." See?
Now, the flesh say, "Now, there's no need, you pretty little thing, you're the prettiest little thing in school. Now, don't you pay any attention to that holy-roller mother of yours or that fanatic father. See? You're the best looking girl in school." "You're the prettiest boy, the best looking boy, the best built. You're the most popular there is in the city." You see? That--that... And you yield your members to that, and where do you come out at? The little end of the horn every time. See?

When you come to total obedience, then you can have possession.
But until you totally obey. You've got to completely surrender your own
thoughts, your own will, your own mind, and let the mind of Christ operate in
you. Now, do you think Christ would--the mind of Christ, in you,
would say, "The days of miracles is past"? Do you think the mind of
Christ, in you, would say, "The Bible's right in some places and not in
others"? The mind of Christ would sanction every word that Christ ever
said. It's right. So if you don't use your own mind, just use His mind.
That's how visions at nighttime... If I use my own mind, how--what could I do? I couldn't do nothing. But just yield myself to Him, and then He uses my mind, my eyes, my mouth. He's my all. Just yield. That's the way you do it. That's the way these ministers do when they're preaching the Gospel. They get up there and take a text, why, they just start off to preach, and yield themselves to God, their ministers, the first thing you know, the Holy Spirit maybe take them on another text, take them somewhere else.

See, people misunderstood this enthusiasm. People misunderstand today.
They misunderstand the power of the Holy Spirit. They call it a bunch of
holy-rollers. They call it a bunch of people that ain't got their right mind.
They misunderstand that you had to lose your--what you call your right
mind...?... because you have the mind of Christ in you. You can't have
the mind of the world and the mind of Christ at the same time, one's carnal and
the other one's spiritual. "He that walks after the flesh is carnal; he
that walks after the Spirit is spiritual." Amen. So I'll lose myself
and find it, Lord, in Thee. Yes, sir.
So God's misunderstood. It's not you that's misunderstood; it's the Holy Spirit making you do that that they misunderstand. Amen. They're not speaking against you; they're speaking against Him. People are misunderstood.
There they let them go, but they get right back in the street and start again. The same today, they misunderstand the people. They don't know what it is.

See, the thing of it is, like I was saying last night, the
Pentecostals are waiting for a rushing mighty wind; but they failed to hear
that still small voice. See? That's just wrong to do those things. They think
as long as the wind's a rushing, all right.
But that didn't attract the prophet's attention. The
rushing wind never bothered the prophet Elijah in the cave. The mighty thunders
and lightnings and pouring down never attracted him at all, but what startled
him was that still small voice, that's something speaking with inside. "My
Word is Truth; let every man's word be a lie and Mine be true." That's
what attracted the prophet. And it'll still do it. The Word of God always
attracts that spiritual mind, because it is the mind of Christ in you that
knows that that Word is true.

42-3 123 All right. So believers of the Word and Spirit must be One. You get it? Believers, the Word, and the Spirit are absolutely One. You don't do your own thinking; you don't use your own mind. Isn't that wonderful? The mind that's in Christ is in you. See? The mind's in Christ in you will take the Word just like He did, 'cause He was the Word. And the mind of Christ in you, you are the Word. You're God's living Word, representatives of Him here on earth (That's right.), continuing the work. The church should be that way.
And when so, the Bible is manifested again like in the early days of the disciples, just like the disciples. The Bible is living again in you.

97-5 108 Oh, people, God bless you. Hear me. I can't believe nothing but God's Word, and I want It to be my life, everything that I am. I want you to do the same. Let your walks, your talks, your moves, everything you do, be in the Word of God. Let the mind of Christ come into you, and--and that'll pregnate you with the Word. If you don't--if you let the mind of the denomination come in, you'll be denominational pregnated. If you let the mind of Christ come into you, He can't deny His own Word, 'cause He's God. You'll be pregnated with the Word and believe It. I don't care if they put you out, kick you out, run you out, and every door is closed, you'll go just the same. Amen. (Whew.) I got to hurry now.

120-2 175 Notice, what harmony. Jesus never did anything until seen of the Father or the Father showed Him first: (Harmony between God and Christ. See? John 5:19) So will the Bride, and He shows Her His Word of Life (He shows Her), and she receives It. She never doubts it.
Nothing can harm Her, not even death; for if the Seed be planted, the water will raise it up again. Amen. (Now, I got a great big "Hallelujah.") Here is the secret: the Word is in the Bride and the mind of Christ to know what He wants done with the Word, and She does it in His Name. She has THUS SAITH THE LORD.
Then it is germitized; so the Holy Spirit waters it until it is grown and serves its purpose. They do only His will. (Amen. I'll believe that.) No one can persuade them different. They have THUS SAITH THE LORD, or they keep still. Then they will do the works of God. For it is Himself in them, continuing His Word to fulfill as He did complete in His day. All things when He was here--He did not complete all when He was here, for it was not time yet.
IDENTIFICATION PHOENIX AZ 63-0123
E-51 051 We've got to take the entire full Gospel. We must... And now, being that we have identified ourselves as full Gospel people, let's mold our character. We're invited to be molded in His Image, that we might reflect His Presence. "And the works that I do, shall you do also. The Life that I live, so shall you." We're invited by God to take Him as an Example, and let our character be molded like His. What a thing. My.
Then when we let His character be in us, then we
have become sons by having the mind of Christ: mind, which is His character.
Your mind makes your character. "Let the mind," Paul said, "of
Christ, this mind that was in Christ be in you." Let that mind of Christ
be in you. It molds the character of a son of God.

194 100 Now, just don't be worked-up. Don't just say, "I belong to church." You be sure of that. If Christ doesn't live you--in you, till you're--all your mind, heart, soul, body...
You--you say, "Well, I think..." You haven't got no thought coming, brother. Let the mind that was in Christ be in you. "I think the days oughtn't to be... I think this oughtn't to be. I think the Word don't mean this." We have no thought coming.
If the mind of Christ is in us, then we'll recognize
that Word to be the Truth, and It lives right through us. You can't
help it; It's Christ.
Take the life out of a watermelon vine and put it in a
pumpkin vine, it'll bear watermelons. You can't keep it from it, 'cause the
life in it is.
And if the--if you say, "Well, I don't believe
that the--the Word here..." then that ain't the Spirit of Christ. See?
There's some other spirit in you.
