to speak. Yahshua was at perfect rest in His soul. Yahshua did not allow His soul to direct
His activities, or even to influence His actions. He stilled His soul and at every decision He
looked to the mind of the Father and did only what He observed the Father doing.

John 4:34
Yahshua said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and
to accomplish His work.”

With these words Yahshua was declaring that the very thing that sustained Him and
gave Him life was knowing the Father’s will and doing it. Anything less than this was a work
of death. We ONLY know the will of the Father in any instance, we only comprehend His
mind and thoughts, as they are imparted to us by the Holy Spirit.

I Corinthians 2:10-16
The Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows
the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the
thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have
received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we
might know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also
speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit,
combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not
accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot
understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. But he who is spiritual
appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no man. For who has known the
mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.

The apostle Paul declares, “we have received... the Spirit who is from God,
that we might know the things freely given to us by God.” Many Christians will
say, “Yes, this is true. Therefore my judgments are right.” DO NOT BE DECEIVED! Do you
not understand that the soul of man has received the ability to judge right and wrong, good
and evil, by eating of the forbidden fruit in the garden? This soulish sense of judgment is
ALWAYS with us, and it is distorted and twisted, arising from our fallen humanity. The vast
majority of Christians examine the facts as they are apprehended by the seeing of the eye
and the hearing of the ear, and they look inside to discern what is the good path and what
is the evil path. They think they have arrived at the mind of God when they have only
consulted with their own soul.
Are you able to discern between the voice of your soul and the voice of the Spirit of
God? Most Christians are failing to divide between them.

Hebrews 4:10-12
For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his
works, as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest
anyone fall through following the same example of disobedience. For the word of
God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as
far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to
judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
