God is not the God of frustration. He is not dangling a carrot in front of use so that we can run around without knowing what we are doing or why we are doing it.T That is the way the whole world is trying to function, no one in the world knows what is going on and why. He is OUR FATHER and He is rasing a FAMILY. He has given us His Spirit so we can freely know the things He has placed within us. Think about it. Would you raise your sons or daughters not to know you? These things can only be known in and of the spirit of God, from His spirit; because it is this spirit which we have living in us in order to know these things and all of these things! 1 CORINTHIANS 2:12
(KJV)
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.
(Shuttleworth)
Now we have received, not the fallible spirit of this world, but the direct communications of that all seeing-divine Spirit, so that to us is given to know the operations of God's mercy, as extended to us and to mankind…
(Barclay)
It is not the spirit of the world that we have received , but the Spirit whose source and origin is God, to enable us to understand the gifts which God in his grace has given to us…
(Johnson)
We Christ persons have not received mere human insight; we have been given the Spirit of God. The Spirit which enables us to recognize both God's activity and his gifts…
(Cornish)
And in our hearts and minds there now doth work not that spirit, which is the influence and animal intelligence of the world, but the Divine Spirit, and this it is which reveals to us those things that are bestowed on man by God…
If we are to understand how the "direct revelation" from God Himself is received then we must grasp with full absorbency the implications of these wonderful passages of the Spirit of the Living God. It is in this "spirit school" we come to learn and know our Father, our God. 
This learning is not of the physical, mental or sense knowledge type. It is only in the sphere of the spirit we come to absorb the full truths of God and by it are so transformed we reflect his radiant glory to all those who come into contact with us. These are the things of the Spirit which can only be learned in the spirit. It is a spiritual language the Holy Ghost is teaching and speakin. We can know the truth only in and of the One who has produced the truth and freely gives the truth to all who ask, seek, and knock. We can know all of God we would like to know, as we place ourselves in the right environment for true reception of those things which are freely known in that "said" environment. It is a different realm. To know the things of that realm one has to go there and needs a guide to show him around. The guide is the Spirit of the Living God. He who teaches us directly these things of the spirit. |
