In The Power of God…
Are we fools, scholars or Spirit-filled new creatures? Do fools know they are fools as a scholar knows he is a scholar? Does a Spirit-filled person know they are Spirit-Filled as Jesus Christ knew He was the Son of God?
I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. ~ 1 Corinthians 2:3-5 NKJB
We should know we are of the Spirit, the Spirit fills and guides our thinking. Our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ should determine how we walk. This would come by our receiving the Holy Spirit of God as our Counselor and Teacher in all manners of our life. We should recognize the Holy Spirit is with us with every breath, with every step and every word uttered. We shouldn’t even have to think about asking the Holy Spirit to speak, but we should honor His presence with the act of seeking the Kingdom of God first in every aspect of our life. This includes asking the Holy Spirit to provide the words needed at the time they are needed.

As we address those around us only those of the Spirit will hear. Only those of the Spirit will see. The others will not see nor will they hear – they will be unable as they have not received the Holy Spirit nor have they sought the Mind of Christ.
These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. ~ 1 Corinthians 2:13-16 NKJB
As our days unfold before us walking, breathing and living with the Holy Spirit as our guide in all aspects of our life will continually transform our minds to prove that which is the perfect will of God. Will we do it perfectly? No. Practice does not make perfect, however, it does make better. As we seek the Kingdom of God first more and more, the Holy Spirit will speak through us more and more.
Either the Scripture is the divine Word of God teaching us how to live and how to be a reflection of God, or it’s nothing more than a historical account of events.
