SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED "The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Corinthians 1:14 It doesn't matter that you are physically capable of reading the Bible -- if you do not have the Holy Spirit residing within you, then you are not spiritually capable of understanding the Bible. If you do not have the Holy Spirit firmly rooted within you, then you are like a man who has subscribed to cable television. However, the cable has been strung from the company to your house, but you have never plugged it into your own television set. Every time you sit down and turn it on, all that will be seen is black and white static. You can firmly know that the Holy Spirit is operating within you when you make the active effort to hook that cable up to your own television, and not just be satisfied in the knowledge that down the street is that company's powerful transmitter, beaming out its shows throughout the heavens. Until you see those same pictures on your own set, all that Holy Spirit power down the street is of little value to you! Therefore, I suggest you take this command of God seriously: "Eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy." 1 Corinthians 14:1 Since the gift of prophecy is primarily visual, and comes in the form of dreams, visions and prophecies (which is visual speech), Acts 2:17, you will know that your own TV set is fully functioning and prepared to receive revelation knowledge, when these pictures of God begin appearing with crystal clarity inside your own spirit. If you want revelation knowledge, then be a good commandment keeper, and "Eagerly desire to prophecy." |
