That's not what Jesus teaches / taught/ OT and NT.

True,  most people are never taught to DO HIS WORD,

but a few are.   YHWH is FAITHFUL.

We can not know the mind of God. God is God we are human beings.

Again, for clarity,   is that what you were taught ? 

Dare you disclose what church or school or group or tele-video-personality says so ?

No my Christian discernment and logic tells me that.

So you think as you posted it is better to believe selfish thoughts (if they are selfish) / discernment (or logic) as some call it

instead of God's Word ?    Oh, many oppressive and hierarchal religious leaders say that also.....

I don't agree.

It is best for the Holy Spirit to guild is in body, mind and Spirit.

[Fidei Defensor]

Jesus would both post and preach. He does so through us (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 3:16).

"THE CARNAL MIND

This has been blighted by the fall, and requires to be renewed through the blood and Spirit of Christ just as much as any other part of our being.

Our mind influences our whole character and life. “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he,” "

"THE MIND OF CHRIST

Not only do we need to correct our thoughts, but we must go farther and actually crucify the old natural mind and receive an entirely new mind in Christ. The sanctification of the spirit is not the improvement of the old natural spirit, but the renouncing it and the receiving of God’s Holy Spirit instead. So the sanctification of our mind must be just as radical. We must recognize that our natural mind is wrong and must be laid wholly down,

and we receive the mind of Christ instead, to think in us God’s thoughts after God.

So that our

.....................................first experience is not the correcting of our thoughts,

but the entire surrender of our mental being to the Lord Jesus Christ, to be crucified with Him."

"He had finished the work the Father gave Him to do. His love held nothing back. He gave Himself an offering and a sacrifice. Such was the mind of Christ, and such must be the disposition of everyone who owes himself and his life to that sacrifice. The mind that was in Christ must be in us, ready to say: “I am come to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.”"

"The Apostle has said that the wisdom of this world is entirely wrong in its principles and nature.

His language is exceedingly strong.

He says, “The world by wisdom knew not God.” Its very wisdom kept it from God.

“If any man would be wise, let him become a fool that he may be wise,

for the wisdom of the world is foolishness with God.”

David says, “I hate thoughts”; not only vain thoughts, but all thoughts that are human.

>>This is the source of all our unbelief, our anxious care, our doubts and fears, our envies, jealousies, irritations, seditions, strifes, controversies —

all have their seat in the strong intellectual life of the human heart; the willfulness of our opinions and the entertaining of thoughts, questionings, evil surmisings

.....................................................and imaginings that disquiet and defile the soul.

From all these Christ wants to save us, to give us the mind “stayed on Him,” “the peace of God that passes all understanding,” and garrisons the thought and the heart through Christ Jesus; the heart so subdued that every evil imagination is cast down, and every high thing that exalts itself brought low, and every thought brought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."

I miss the WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) jewelry and etc. It was good reminder to think of what Jesus would do in given situation (from Scripture) and move in Holy Spirit. It also was good reminder of "What Not To Do." I often say, "Would Jesus sit with you through that movie, would you play that song if he entered the room and etc."
