Re: Now's good - byHismercy

We get out of our mind (flesh/natural) by setting our mind (neutral) on the Spirit. That's what Lee taught. I think Lee used the same word mind with different connotations - one is negative, the other is neutral. To express this more fully we could say: We get out of our mind set on the flesh, by setting our mind on the Spirit. Equivalently, we could say "We get out of our mind set on the flesh and into a mind set on the Spirit by setting our mind on the Spirit." More specifically, to break "mind" down into the three parts of will, thoughts and emotions: "We get out of our natural thoughts and emotions and into spiritual thoughts and emotions by setting our thoughts and emotions on the Spirit." It is important to note that here the will is used to set the mind on the Spirit, and this results in getting out of our mind set on the flesh. Setting the mind on the Spirit is the focus. I don't see Lee ever teaching "get out of your mind" for the sake of getting out of the mind, as Eastern religions or drug users might. He always qualifies that with the goal of getting into the Spirit. At least, people should read the book "The Kingdom" before jumping to conclusions about Lee's terminology. If there is any group getting "out of their mind" in Christianity it is the tongue speakers, pentecostal worshippers who whip themselves into an emotional frenzy using choreography, dance and music, and sometimes mass hypnosis (Benny Hinn and others), drunk in the Spirit and "holy laughter", and Catholic contemplative meditators, not the local churches. Full control of mental faculties are retained before, during and after a church meeting. |
