Created in the Likeness of Elohim: Possessing the Mind of Christ | 3,650 Minutes of Prayer

Today is Day Ninety Four of 3,650. This episode centers on the profound revelation that we are created in the likeness of Elohim and possess the mind of Christ. When Genesis declares that we are made in God’s image and likeness, it refers to our spirit and our mind, not our physical bodies. Scripture and the foundational teachings of Kenneth E. Hagin reveal that man is a spirit, possesses a soul, and lives in a physical body. The biblical "heart" is the unseen center of man’s being—the inward man, where the spirit and the soul intersect.God the Father is eternal Spirit without a physical body, so being made in His likeness means He gave us a spirit with the exact same invisible architecture He possesses. He gave us an intellect to reason, a will to make moral choices, and a spirit to fellowship with the Creator. Hebrews 4:12 demonstrates how the living Word of God separates the intertwined soul and spirit. Without this division, we risk being led by our carnal senses and unrenewed minds instead of the Spirit.True repentance, or metanoia, is a fundamental change of mind that restores God's original image within us. It awakens our re-created human spirit to perfectly reflect the likeness and authority of Elohim. As 1 Corinthians 2:16 declares, we have the mind of Christ to be guided by His thoughts and purposes. These reflections lead us into prayer, thanking the Father for recreating our spirits in His image. We choose to quiet our souls, ignore the panic of the carnal mind, and let our minds be continually renewed by the Word of God. We yield to the Spirit, taking on the humble mindset of Christ, to walk in the peace, joy, and victories God intended for us.Scriptures (AMP)1 Corinthians 2:16 (AMP) "For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes]."1 Thessalonians 5:23 (AMP) "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through... and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."Genesis 1:26 (AMP) "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness...'"John 4:24 (AMP) "God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."Hebrews 4:12 (AMP) "For the word of God is living and active and full of power... piercing as far as the dividing line of the soul and the spirit [the completeness of a person]... exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart."Ephesians 4:23 to 24 (AMP) "And be continually renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh, untainted mental and spiritual attitude], and put on the new self [the regenerated and renewed nature], created in God’s image, [godlike] in the righteousness and holiness of the truth."Hebrew Old TestamentTzelem / Demuth Image and likeness, referring to the spiritual architecture and capacity given by God, not a physical form.Ruach Spirit, breath, or wind, acting as the eternal core breathed directly from the breath of God.Lev / Levav Heart, serving as the unseen center of man’s being where the spirit and soul intersect.Machashabah Thoughts or plans, meaning the capacity to think, reason, and weave understanding of God's purposes.Greek New TestamentMetanoia Repentance, representing a fundamental change of mind and the process of aligning the soul back to God's Word.There is One true God, the Creator of all things, revealed in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
