We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
2 CORINTHIANS 10:5
In giving my life for Christ Jesus as he did for me, I have no choice but to honor my brother with the Spirit he has blessed me with. As we are renewed and filled with the Spirit given by Jesus we have no alternative but to be obedient.
I cannot - once accepting of the Spirit - now say - I live on my own free will. No, I can only live through the Spirit entrusted to my flesh. God is love - God is all - God is a Spirit. In accepting my brother and Savior Jesus, I accept the Spirit of my creator - my father, my everything.
The life of the saint is cloaked in Christ. Each thought and action is to be obedient to Christ for his perfect will to be fulfilled. The son can do nothing outside of his father's will. It is not impulse that drives the mission of the saint but the very purposeful intentional call of Jesus. There is no power without Christ. The mind of man does not know the will of God - through Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit you are specifically called to have your mind renewed into his love - where his truth and life will be revealed to you.
