Being Renewed in the Spirit of the Mind

for the Practical Existence of the One New Man

Opening Word of the Prophesying Meeting

Reading the verses in each day.

Reading the main points in the outlines.

Pray-reading the verses:

That you put off, as regards your former manner of life, the old man, which is being corrupted according to the lusts of the deceit, And [that] you be renewed in the spirit of your mind And put on the new man, which was created according to God in righteousness and holiness of the reality—Eph. 4:22-24

For also in one Spirit we were all baptized into one Body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and were all given to drink one Spirit1— Cor. 12:13

Word of Appetizer

Everything that the Lord is doing in this present age is to usher in the practical existence of the one new man; What is the only way that the one new man can be realized practically?

The only way that the one new man can be realized practically is by our mind being renewed; The one new man cannot be realized by our being corrected or taught but by the Spirit of God permeating our mentality. Ephesians 4:23 is vital and crucial to us. The key to putting off the old man and putting on the new man is in being renewed in the spirit of our mind.

Spiritual Burden

The key to the practical existence of the one new man—to putting off the old man and putting on the new man—is in being renewed in the spirit of our mind. Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting.

We need to be renewed in the spirit of our mind actually and daily in our living; otherwise, there is no way for the Lord to have the one new man; Daily we need to put off the old man and put on the new man; for this we need to drink of the one Spirit so that we may be renewed in the spirit of

our mind in every area of our daily life.

Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting

The Revelation of the Truth

Everything that the Lord is doing in this present age is to usher in the practical existence of the one new man; this is the Lord’s move on earth today.

In our experience as believers in Christ, we should cooperate with the Triune God to put off the old man, which was terminated on the cross, and put on the new man, which was created through Christ’s death and resurrection.

The key to putting off the old man and putting on the new man is in being renewed in the spirit of our mind.

The renewal of the mind is for the practical existence of the one new man.

The Experience of Life

Our natural and national mentality was educated and built up according to our racial and cultural background; this is the greatest hindrance to the practical existence of the one new man; and for the existence of the one new man, this mentality must be renewed; When we drink of the Spirit, He saturates every part of our being; the first part of our soul that He saturates is our mind; If we drink of the Spirit, we will be renewed in the spirit of our mind.

Practice and Application

Daily we need to put off the old man and put on the new man; for this we need to drink of the one Spirit so that we may be renewed in the spirit of our mind in every area of our daily life.

In our prayer we need to have a desire to enter into the practicality of the one new man, and thus, we need to ask the Lord to renew our mind and transform our inner being; We all need to open ourselves up to the Lord and pray, “Lord, I am here. I want my mind to be fully opened to You. Come in and fill me up. Permeate, saturate, and possess my entire inward being.”
