THE FUTILITY OF TRYING TO UNDERSTAND SCRIPTURE BY HUMAN INTELLECT

Many try to understand Scripture by the fleshly power of the human intellect. If they lean on preconceived ideas, doctrines, theological training, Bible commentaries, or marginal notes rather than Christ, those act as “old wineskins” that burst under the pressure of the “new wine” flowing from God’s throne. The fleshly nature acts as a veil to blind them and dull their hearing.

“But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart” (2 Corinthians 3:16-18).

When they read Scripture, they only see the theology they’ve been taught. The fleshly veil makes it impossible for them to hear God’s voice. We need to turn our attention to Jesus and listen closely to His voice.

“Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:16-18).

The word they translated as “open” is literally “unveiled,” and the word they translated as “changed” is literally “transfigured.”

Why has the Church been a house divided? Because God’s people haven’t been listening to His voice.

Why has the Church been a house divided? Because God’s people haven’t been listening to His voice. We have no idea how many of our thoughts and opinions have been influenced and shaped by the devil, the world, and our sinful flesh. Only the Holy Spirit can correct us. And the Holy Spirit won’t force Himself on us. He comes where He is welcomed. If we have blocked off parts of our mind and thinking as off limits to correction, He will wait for us to yield to Him. That’s why God speaks to us through the Bible, asking us to seek His face and mind. He asks us to repent, which literally means “have a new mind.” If we refuse the Holy Spirit in any part of our lives, God can’t help us. God says, “If any person thinks he or she knows ANY thing, he or she doesn’t know that thing as he or she ought to know it.”

NEITHER DO I CONDEMN YOU; GO AND SIN NO MORE

Neither Do I Condemn You; Go and Sin No More

Someone has slipped today,
Into some fleshly way,
They were off guard somehow.
In condemnation crying now.
Jesus is here today,
Hear Him forgive and say,
CHORUS:
Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more,
Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more,
Lest a worse thing befall you,
Lest a worse thing befall you,
Lest a worse thing befall you,
Go and sin no more.

Those in the depths of sin,
Feeling condemned within,
They try to defend their lust,
But there is one whom they can trust.
Jesus is here today,
Hear Him forgive and say,
CHORUS

Churches in disarray,
Making up their own way,
Rapidly they decline,
With orders and precepts from their own mind.
Jesus is here today,
Hear Him forgive and say,
CHORUS

Some won’t obey God’s word,
Feeling so self-assured,
Letting the world hold sway;
Somehow they thought t’would be okay.
Jesus is here today,
Hear Him forgive and say,
CHORUS

Did you fail to seek His face,
Leaving that secret place?
From His presence did you stray?
Did you let His Spirit slip away?
Jesus is here today,
Hear Him forgive and say,
CHORUS

Did His Spirit urge you on
To levels and heights beyond?
But nay-sayers told you, “No!”
You listened to them and would not go.
Jesus is here today,
Hear Him forgive and say,
CHORUS

Don’t listen to the flesh when it claims it can reform itself or improve itself. Let Jesus reign.

One thing I’ve found is that my flesh likes to pretend it can reform my flesh. The Bible tells us the flesh must diminish and die and that no amount of human effort can help in the process. The Light of the Word (His name is Jesus Christ) dispels the darkness. The Bible says Grace does the works, and grace is through faith, and faith comes by hearing God’s Word, His Rhema or utterance.

You built strongholds in your mind without consciously thinking about what you were doing. You don’t know what most of those strongholds are yet. They seem like reality to you.
(Quote from https://realreality.org/downloads/how-god-will-transform-you/)

You built strongholds in your mind without consciously thinking about what you were doing. You don’t know what most of those strongholds are yet. They seem like reality to you. You know about some of your strongholds. You know about thoughts that creep in, thoughts the Holy Spirit brings to your attention. You don’t want to entertain those thoughts, but you can’t sweep them out. You know your thoughts. I know mine. The more you try to NOT think about them the more you think about them. They keep popping up.

Turn on the Light. The Light is Jesus Christ. He has equipped you, and He will equip you more. He gave you spiritual weapons. One weapon is seeking God. Another is prayer. When the arguments and presumptions of the world creep in, look toward Jesus. Ask Him to help you. He will tear the strongholds down. He’ll answer the lies. He’ll give you power to destroy those evil strongholds and thoughts that come from them. Stand in Christ’s presence. His Light will surround you. The more you seek Christ, the closer you stand to Him. The closer you stand to Christ, the more His Light shines in you. The more Christ’s Light shines in you, the less darkness can survive in His presence. Turn on the Light.

We can’t afford to be half-hearted, fearful, or lazy.

“And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).

Keep your eyes on Jesus, and He’ll complete His work in you. He identifies and tears down the deceptive strongholds in our minds. If we try to accomplish this work or help Him, our fleshly minds are trying to deceive us by saying they can help us get rid of themselves. We must turn to Jesus, listen to His voice, and see His vision of reality. Even then, our flesh will promise to improve and obey God, but it can’t. We need to yield to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to work through us. Then we’re doing everything in Jesus’ name.

“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus” (Colossians 3:17).

How do you think?

How do you think? The choice is divine revelation versus made-up stuff camouflaged as reality. Divine revelation is the ONLY way to know real reality. The human mind can’t reason to truth. Human observation is always filtered through our preconceived ideas since we can’t get outside ourselves to be objective. ONLY the Holy Spirit has the authority and power to overcome our human weaknesses and limitations. There’s a reason God tells us to seek Him.

MY SOUL IS ATHIRST

My Soul Is Athirst

My soul is athirst for the Water of Life,
I long to drink my fill.
Refreshed let me lie in your bosom, O Lord
And fellowship there Lord with Thee.

CHORUS:

Let me wait in your presence, O Jesus
And my soul will be lifted above;
To be filled with Thy presence completely
And be lost in the depths of Thy love.

O Lord, how I long to be perfectly whole
And dwell in Thy presence divine;
Nourished and fed by the Spirit of Life,
O Lord, how I long to be Thine.

Our enemy uses cleverly packaged news, advertising, public service messages, social media, books, magazines, education systems, movies, and TV shows to subvert us.

Our enemy uses cleverly packaged news, advertising, public service messages, social media, books, magazines, education systems, movies, and TV shows to subvert us. He uses wicked laws and proclamations. And he especially uses people we know and love who are connected to the world systems. That old serpent has been using all these means to subtly influence us throughout our lives, building strong lying convictions in our minds that seem more real to us than reality. When truth conflicts with our inner fake-realities, we think the truth is insanity. Only the Holy Spirit can dismantle these deceptive inner strongholds of the enemy. In this critical hour, we can’t afford to be double-minded. We can’t afford to doubt God.

“For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” (James 1:7-8 KJV). (How to Walk in God’s Glory Petros Scientia)

Pull-from-air logic is the logic taught in schools.

Pull-from-air logic is the logic taught in schools. They assume truth is not possible. Then, they assume that logic must start with assumptions. Assumptions are ideas or thoughts you pull from the air and treat as if they were real. From that lack of foundation, they focus on a few fallacies and the logical forms. All that study is useless when they allow pull-from-air premises as the starting point of their logic. Logic must start with Truth or it’s a mental exercise of deception. ALL Truth is hidden in Christ Jesus. Jesus is the Light, and He gives His Light to every person. However, those who refuse to acknowledge Him, thank Him, and glorify Him for His revelation of Truth soon lose the distinction between the ideas they pull out of the air and the revelations they receive from Jesus. (Romans 1) Even when they try to interpret Scripture, they don’t realize they’re making up stuff and adding the made-up stuff to Scripture to twist and distort Scripture’s meaning. Rather, they should seek Christ, stand in His presence, and let Him speak to them through Scripture.

Christ already defeated our flesh and every demonic power on the cross.

Christ already defeated our flesh and every demonic power on the cross. Listen to Him as He leads you, and receive His faith. Then, walk in victory in Jesus. Christ has already set you free. Sin, sickness, death, and hell have no power over you. Christ already bought this for you when He died on the cross. He’s waiting for you to allow Him to complete the work in you. The world (or culture), which consists of the collective fleshly natures of humanity, uses every means to stop the holy Seed from reaching good ground. Good ground is the heart of someone who hears God speaking and understands His words.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15-16 KJV).

Evolutionism is “proved” by creative storytelling and fallacious reasoning.

Evolutionism is “proved” by creative storytelling and fallacious reasoning. Rationalism proves itself by rationalizing. Then rationalism rationalizes evolutionism and other stories, stories about Earth’s history, God, science, medicine, and many other topics. Come to Me, says the Lord, and I will give you rest. Only in Me can you find truth, peace, and love. Rationalism is a religion, and its god is the human intellect. The human intellect can’t reason to truth and it is corrupted, sold into sin, skilled at illusion, but devoid of true wisdom.

Cleansing me of all my self

My Prayer

Lord, I pray that each and every day
My heart would be softer unto you.
And let this be the prayer I pray
Each and every day.
That I desire more and more of You.
And, Lord, above all else,
Please grant me this:
Your Wisdom and Your Faith, Hope and Love:
Cleansing me of all my self
‘Til I, in heav’nly bliss,
Am one with that which comes down from above.

(Quote from https://realreality.org/downloads/how-god-will-transform-you/)

You don’t wage war according to the flesh. You don’t try to sweep out the darkness. You have spiritual weapons with divine power to demolish the strongholds in your mind.

I’ve already told you that the enemy will try to reclaim you. The enemy will try to deceive you into thinking you are stuck. The enemy will bring a suggestion to your mind and then condemn you for the suggestion the enemy brought. He was a liar from the beginning. He’s lying to you. He’s trying to trick you. When this happens, the Holy Spirit will also bring God’s promise to you. You have been delivered. Christ has set you free. The enemy is lying. The enemy doesn’t control you. Your fleshly nature does not control you. You are not a slave. Christ delivered you.

You put so much effort into fighting your flesh. All you need to do is yield to Jesus.

Our flesh shouts: “I CAN HELP YOU OVERCOME MY SHORTCOMINGS.” “WITHOUT ME, YOU CAN’T FUNCTION.” “GOD GAVE YOU A RATIONAL MIND.” “I CAN FIGURE THINGS OUT.” The flesh wants us to keep the fleshly nature as a necessary part of our lives, but it must go. God hates a mixture of the fleshly with the spiritual. Christ defeats independence, comparisons to others, self-importance, egotism, cowardice, the desire for acceptance, attention, or control, and much more. The fleshly nature wants to preserve itself, so our fallen natures try to short-circuit the work of grace because we destroy the flesh when we yield to the Spirit. Our flesh will attempt to convert God’s grace and righteousness into a set of rules, principles, or concepts. The flesh tries to divert the work of the Spirit into self-glorification and pride. You can’t reform the flesh or improve it. You can’t sweep the darkness out of a room, but you can turn on the Light by turning to Jesus and yielding to His Spirit.

“You put so much effort into fighting your flesh. And all you need to do is yield to Me.” (A recent prophecy)

We need to listen to God’s leading.

If any person cannot admit to knowing Jesus Christ personally, being led, taught, and corrected by the Holy Spirit, that person will be forced to rely on fallacies or else will arrive at no meaningful conclusions. The first chapter of Romans is very clear about the problems caused when people refuse to thank God and glorify Him. There’s a reason God tells us to acknowledge Him in all our ways. Some people think they can figure out the Bible. They ignore what God says about the human heart. The heart is deceitful, desperately wicked beyond what we can imagine or discover. We need the Holy Spirit. We need to listen to God’s leading. We need to yield to Him in willing submission so He can be our Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-control. We can manufacture counterfeits of all of these within ourselves, but for anything real and genuine, we need Jesus. Jesus is our wisdom and knowledge. Humanity can manufacture a sort of artificial wisdom and knowledge, but Jesus is the Truth, and there is no real wisdom or knowledge without Him.

MIGHTY WORD OF GOD

Mighty Word of God

Mighty Word of God,
Come live within this heart of mine,
Come and abide with power in me.
Oh, Mighty Word of God, Oh, Jesus, let Your glory shine.
Come and set this captive free.

Lord, Jesus, let Your fiery heat transform my contrite soul.
From glory unto glory make me new.
Transfigured by Your awesome power, Your presence makes me whole,
With less of me and more and more of You.

Now Lord, through Your Church,
Your Body as You’re forming it,
Wisdom of God is now made known.
And as we will discern the genuine and counterfeit,
Then Your glory will be shown.
