Power of the Spirit

1 Corinthians 2:6-8

New International Version (NIV)

⁶ We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. ⁷ No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. ⁸ None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

Living in a world where man’s knowledge supersedes all understanding, we must be reminded that only God’s spirit the Holy Spirit knows all. It’s easy to get caught up in what we know or what someone else thinks or “knows” to be true. We as a society get caught up in lifestyle fads because they usually yield results that we like which in return results in us being gradually pulled towards the world system and further away from the Lord.

Unfortunately there are many Christians who don’t believe that they need to have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that they only have to acknowledge that he is with us after we get saved. However, when you do not get the infilling of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, you lack the power that God has given access to in order to heal the sick and raise the dead as Jesus did.

Without the Holy Spirit it can be hard to get the wisdom, the knowing or witty invention that God has for us that no one else can even think about doing or saying.

As much as we think we are the supreme beings, we are merely rags when compared to God Himself.

Be humble and know that we must acknowledge that there are STILL things that we do not know and cannot do and that only God can provide those things if we yield to His spirit.
