Last week we looked at 2 Corinthians 12:10 which told us that when we are weak, we are strong. We talked about how we need to believe the truth of God’s word over the lies of the enemy. We need to change the way we think to align our minds with the truth of God’s word.
I know if left alone my mind is a crazy, and sometimes scary, place. It needs Jesus. So how does having Holy Spirit living within us help us change the way we think? A few weeks ago we also talked about allowing Holy Spirit to renovate our minds and transform the way we think and the way we see things but there is more!
1 Corinthians 2:6-16 says, “However, there is a wisdom that we continually speak of when we are among the spiritually mature. It’s wisdom that didn’t originate in this present age, nor did it come from the rulers of this age who are in the process of being dethroned. Instead, we continually speak of this wonderful wisdom that comes from God, hidden before now in a mystery. It is his secret plan, destined before the ages, to bring us into glory.
None of the rulers of this present world order understood it, for if they had, they never would have crucified the Lord of shining glory. This is why the Scriptures say: Things never discovered or heard of before, things beyond our ability to imagine — these are the many things God has in store for all his lovers.
But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit. Yes, he has revealed to us his inmost heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, who constantly explores all things. After all, who can really see into a person’s heart and know his hidden impulses except for that person’s spirit? So it is with God. His thoughts and secrets are only fully understood by his Spirit, the Spirit of God.
For we did not receive the spirit of this world system but the Spirit of God, so that we might come to understand and experience all that grace has lavished upon us. And we articulate these realities with the words imparted to us by the Spirit and not with the words taught by human wisdom. We join together Spirit-revealed truths with Spirit-revealed words. Someone living on an entirely human level rejects the revelations of God’s Spirit, for they make no sense to him. He can’t understand the revelations of the Spirit because they are only discovered by the illumination of the Spirit.
Those who live in the Spirit are able to carefully evaluate all things, and they are subject to the scrutiny of no one but God. For who has ever intimately known the mind of the Lord Yahweh well enough to become his counselor? Christ has, and we possess Christ’s perceptions.”
Wow! How amazing is that! That is quite a long extract but I thought it necessary to include it all for context. What the above verses are telling us in short is that Holy Spirit knows the mind of God and because we have been joined with the Holy Spirit, through baptism in the Holy Spirit, we too can know the mind of God as Holy Spirit reveals it to us. Do you see just how intimately God wants to be joined to us? Holy Spirit is not here to judge and condemn us. Holy Spirit is here to bring us into closer relationship, closer union with Christ Jesus.
There is nothing that God desires more than to have a relationship with you.
We’ll continue this next week. In the meantime, please meditate on the above verses and hear what Holy Spirit wants to reveal to you through these verses.
Love and blessings,
Melissa Tsingano.
