I don't know exactly how the Holy Spirit makes "the mind of Christ" available to me but reading these verses one thing struck me that God opened himself to us and made us to be part of His family, an intimate circle of trusted and loved. As we live in close communion in this union and share the life of God we can discern the heart of God. The Bible urges me to walk continuously in the Spirit. In prayer, worship and daily walk my heart needs to be tuned to the Holy Spirit to listen to God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lottie Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Question 4 a How does the Holy Spirit make the “mind of Christ” available to us? The Spirit shows us the deep truths of God’s Word. He shows us what is in the mind and heart of the Father. B How does this make you dependent upon the Holy Spirit? It makes me dependent because it is only through the Spirit that I can understand and know God. Only through the Spirit that wisdom can be imparted to me and I can know God’s will for me. Because only the Holy Spirit really knows the mind and heart of God. c. How does this relate to listening to God’s voice? It is through the Spirit that I can begin to understand when God is speaking to me. The Spirit helps me understand what He has to say in his Word. The Spirit helps me understand the deeper depths of God’s Word. Without the Spirit helping me I would think it is all foolishness. Without the Spirit I would not know how to interpret what it says or be obedient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Holy Spirit indwells my spirit, He is always available to me as (if and when) I yield my will to His Will and purposes. 2. I can choose hourly, daily to live in my own human knowledge and limitations and flesh or I can choose to depend upon His infinite knowledge and power to fulfill His purposes. He never forces Himself...I must choose to yield to Him. That I am able to choose is where dependence comes in....my will or His? (Lord, may I willingly yield to You in all things! Life is so sweet when I choose your way!) 3. Unless I am desiring to hear His voice, I'm not apt to be listening. The more I listen the more easily I discern His voice.

LaVerne Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Q4. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16) How does the Holy Spirit make "the mind of Christ" available to us? The Holy Spirit lives in us and we know, because we read the Bible, what is the right thing for us to do. The Holy Spirit makes us very sure that we should do certain things and not do other things. How does this make you dependent upon the Holy Spirit? If I want to do God's will and love people the way he wants me to love them, then I need to obey the Holy Spirit's prompting.

We need to get in a solitary place to understand more of God’s words, promptings, and glimpses to help us proceed forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patahutch Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Q4. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16) How does the Holy Spirit make “the mind of Christ” available to us? How does this make you dependent upon the Holy Spirit? How does this relate to listening for God’s voice? The Holy Spirit reveals the mind of Christ to us as believers because He knows it. Because the Spirit resides in us, He can reveal it to us. Paul says we know in part, hence, while we have the Spirit living in us, we do not know it in totality but in parts, impressions, and the likes. The fact that I do not know everything and I cannot conceive everything, I should be extremely humbly in my dependence upon the Holy Spirit on a daily basis. As it relates to the voice of God, I think that we have to rely on the Holy Spirit to help us in this regard. We do not know God's thoughts except through what is revealed in Scriptures or through the various impressions and prompting, however, to understand and discern, we need the Holy Spirit to open up our understanding.

hanks Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Q4. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16) How does the Holy Spirit make "the mind of Christ" available to us? How does this make you dependent upon the Holy Spirit? How does this relate to listening for God's voice? It is only by spending enough time with Christ, consistently reading and meditating on the Word, that we as believers, can start building up an intimate relationship with our Lord. It is then that the Holy Spirit might make “the Mind of Christ” available to us. This can give us insight in knowing His thoughts, as well as insights into some of God’s plans. We are able to talk with Him and hear His answers to our prayers. This will also change our mind-set making us more and more like Jesus Himself. We will be humbler, willing to obey God and serve people, so that like Christ we should have a servant’s attitude, serving out of love for God and for others. We will become more and more dependent upon the Holy Spirit as Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit, makes available to the believer great wisdom, discrimination, knowledge, and understanding. We can never hear God’s voice without the help of the Holy Spirit. It is only through the Holy Spirit that we have access to the mind of Christ. Unaided, the unbeliever does not receive the things of the Spirit of God. They are foolishness to them, so they cannot possibly understand since this is only spiritually discerned.

Mechelle Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Q4. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16) How does the Holy Spirit make “the mind of Christ” available to us? How does this make you dependent upon the Holy Spirit?

This is how the holy spirit makes the mind of Christ available to us. most of us live completely wrong living worldly lives and dependent on our fleshly desires. When we love the Lord we live for him and we die to our flesh and live by the spirit. Having communion with the spirit at all times. God's voice comes from the Holy Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit dwell's within Him which dwells within Jesus which dwells within us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this make you dependent upon the Holy Spirit? How does this relate to listening for God's voice? The Holy Spirit makes the mind of Christ available to us because it is through the Holy Spirit that God talks to us. How does this relate to listening for God’s voice? Well, for openers, maybe its God’s way of telling us that if we feel the need to do all the talking, we will never hear God’s voice and how could we possibly learn anything?

minnow Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 When we read, study & meditate upon God's word we must pray for guidance, understanding, & wisdom. Without first praying (for the Holy Spirit to help us) , we would be relying on our limited self understanding. We go through life wanting to hear God's voice when the first baby steps are to trust His word and lean not on our own understanding. The more we align life problems with God's word, the more God has opportunity to speak to our hearts if we will listen for that quiet not LOUD voice. His sheep know His voice and He is waiting to hear ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilter Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 When we are saved and and receive the plan of salvation and believe in the resurrection then we have the mind of Christ. Only the ones that accept plan of salvation will feel and have the mind of Christ which is the Holy Spirit. When Christ ascended he promised we wouldn't be alone he would send us a comforter which is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Lord Jesus Christ who I depend on daily In the quietness of our time bible study,praying or just meditating is the perfect time to listen for God to speak to us.

bertha Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Q4. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16) How does the Holy Spirit make “the mind of Christ” available to us? How does this make you dependent upon the Holy Spirit? How does this relate to listening for God’s voice? When we put our "self" aside and walk in the spirit, we can harmonize with God's Spirit. Knowing God, fellowshipping with Him daily, reading His Word, meditating on it, and acting upon it, we are making the Holy Spirit available to speak to us. Jesus was dependent on the Holy Spirit and allowed himself to be guided by Him. This had a big impact on his ministry here on earth. We, too, must allow ourselves to depend on Him(Holy Spirit) if we want to prosper in our ministry, our marriage, our relationships with others, and all areas in our lives. We must be still and let the Holy Spirit have his way in us. Many times as we pray, we go on, and on, and on, without pausing to allow God to speak to us. God can speak to us in different ways; through His Word, a sermon, a worship song, an advice from a Christian brother/sister, friends, etc. That's why we must always have our spiritual ears open. We don't want to miss God's voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
