Oh The Glory of His Ways
Without the Holy Spirit we can never understand the greatness of our salvation, the greatness of the love of God the Father and Son. Our natural minds can only think with human understanding and that is contrary to everything of God. That kind of thinking is the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil we were never to partake of. We were to eat of the tree of life and live. Two trees and two covenants, the old covenant law and the tree of knowledge of good and evil are from the same root while the new covenant and the tree of life
are from the same root. People are still choosing to eat of the tree of knowledge, using their understanding and wisdom instead of the wisdom that comes from the tree of life which seems foolishness to them. The very wonder of the new covenant, the tree of life, seems impossible to believe, that an almighty God could so love us He’d die for us after we had rejected and ignored Him and broken all His laws. The why of it can never be understood or reasoned out with our natural
thinking. We must step out in faith not seeing, not understanding just believing.
Everything of this new life and relationship with God is dependent on Him providing it and us receiving it by faith. Human reasoning has no place in God’s kingdom. He alone has the word of life that
save us. Save means the total package including salvation, healing, provision, deliverance, freedom, etc., and all of this is brought to us by the Holy Spirit. We are born again by the Spirit even as
Jesus was born in the flesh by Him [Luke 1:35; John 3:5-8]. Why do we then try to walk out this new born of the Spirit life by the knowledge and wisdom we lived by in our spiritual deadness? The same Holy Spirit that breathed life into us wants to sustain that new life in us by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. We are to be living and breathing by His knowledge and wisdom and understanding [Isa. 1:2], which seems foolishness to the carnal mind. Yet it is the wisdom and power of God [I Cor. 2:4-5]. He is the wisdom and power of God.
Our natural eyes and ears and heart can’t see, hear, or grasp the things of God, the things He as prepared for us [I Cor. 2:9-16]. So God sent us His Holy Spirit to indwell within us so He’d reveal them to us. He reveals the greatness of the Father’s love for us and makes it real to us. When we reject Him, the fullness of Him and His ministry, we’re rejecting the One who can reveal the Father and Son to us and make all the Word of God come alive. Without Him we have no power to live the victorious life Jesus died to give us. We’re rejecting the very One who birthed us and we’re refusing to grow up for there is no spiritual growth or maturity without Him [I Cor. 2:14-3:1].
We have the mind of Christ by the Holy Spirit indwelling us. The Holy Spirit is the grace of God sent to dwell within us and teach us [John 14:16-26]. He empowers us to overcome and live out of Jesus’ victory a victorious life of freedom [James 4:6]. In John 16:12-16 Jesus couldn’t make them understand His words, the disciples couldn’t grasp their truth, so He told them to wait for the Holy Spirit for He could and would be able to reveal truth and understanding of it to them. It’s not an
outward thing but an inward work. Jesus walked with them, talked with them, did everything with them yet He could not indwell them and change them from the inside.
Father this is too wonder for me to comprehend, I need Your understanding and wisdom to grasp and retain it. Holy Spirit teach me, implant truth so deeply in me that all else is erased by it.
I am teaching you child, trust Me. I have had your training from birth. I watched you
baby steps as you walked towards Me. I have seen you grow in many stages of life, each one a delight to Me to watch and see. I have taken pleasure in each new discovery you’ve found as it delighted you. Trust Me child, we are not finished yet, there are still many delights and discovers to be made in this life before your steps take you into My eternal kingdom. We are walking this life together, you and I, and it’s a glorious one
full of wonders and delights for the both of us. Do you not see My wonder and delight is in you My child? My wonder and delight is increased by watching yours. It brings Me much pleasure, joy, and delight, to watch you walk before Me delighting yourself in Me. Have we not eternity to enjoy each other child? Of a certainty we do for I have decreed and declared it to be so. My Word establishes everything. I have called you as Mine and you responded to My call choosing Me as I have chosen you. We are one child, you are Mine and I am yours forever. What I’ve joined Myself with can never be put asunder or separated. Security, eternally secured to Me as I am to you. Who would dare to cut the tie I’ve established between us? Nothing can separate us, our love for one another shall blaze and testify of it’s truth forever. I await you child, daughter. All heaven awaits the glorious day you are presented before Me in all the splendor and glory of Myself enfolding and covering you as you walk to take your rightful place as My bride, My beloved.
