When we imagine ourselves separate of flesh and fully engaging in spirit, we have embraced the gentle goodness of our Father.
We turn from the unwise mouths of men and walk in spirit, humbly, into the faithful hands that made us.
This place does not exist in our imaginations dear friends, it is real and is the Spirit of which we came…
Welcome home.
1 Corinthians
2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
Humility. Discernment. Faith.
What an amazing God we serve. His goodness is endless and His love is beyond any measurable understanding we can fathom.
Paul, so beautifully sharing his love for God and his understanding of Spirit. God gives us everything we need to be in Him in this walk. If we grow in Spirit, really cling to His word, His very soul, the Holy Spirit will lead us in Truth.
We will fall away from the false pretenses of man and of this world, the fallen and the wicked, the blind and the deaf in hearing. We will be free to receive the gifts of our LORD and Savior, amen.
Walk humbly, walk righteously in the ways of our LORD and follow His commandments. In His example we strive and we thrive, eternally, in fulfilling His promise amen.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Be well in Spirit my friends xo
