This teaching is an exhortation to listeners to “think from the inside out”, to decide to change their thinking and to act according to the gift of holy spirit. The teacher declares that that gift contains the very nature of God, and she describes some aspects of that nature by breaking down 2 Timothy 1:7. She teaches that the spirit that God gave us is not a spirit of cowardice, but instead a spirit of power, power from God far exceeding all we could possibly consider powerful. The spirit enables us to love the way God loves and to control our minds to think like Jesus Christ. It’s a moment by moment decision, and with this nature of God in us, we have the potential to manifest more power, more love, and more controlled soundness of mind.
