THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT - (1 Corinthians 2: 10-16)
But God revealed them to us by his Spirit; because the Spirit pierces all things, yet the depths of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, that we might know what is freely given to us by God.
Which we also speak, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Holy Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual ones.
Now the natural man does not understand the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and can not understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he that is spiritual discerneth all things, and he is judged of no man.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2: 10-16
FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS - (Chapter 1, Verse 10 to 16)
Dear brothers, continuing the study of chapter 2 of the First Epistle to the Corinthians, it is very important to take note of the spiritual things that Paul is emphasizing here.
In verse 10, Paul is saying that God revealed through the Holy Spirit, because the Power of the Holy Spirit is so effective that it penetrates all things, into the depths of God.
For the spirit of man knows only human things, but the Spirit of God, the things of God.
We are different because we do not receive the spirit of the world, but we receive the Spirit of GOD, so that we can know what God has already given us for free, totally free. That is why we do not speak, and we have no need to speak, with human wisdom, but we speak with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, which evolves by comparing spiritual things only with spiritual things.
For the natural man does not understand the things of the Spirit of God, because to him it seems madness, and he can not understand them, because spiritual things can only be understood spiritually.
However, those who are spiritual, understand everything, what is spiritual, only, spiritual, can not be understood by anyone, who is carnal.
Paul recounts one last sentence in verse 16: "BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST".
Dear brothers and sisters, Paul knew this wisdom that we are just now experiencing, about the power of the Holy Spirit, who penetrates all things, into the depths of God, to reveal, to those who love GOD, and in this last sentence, is where is the secret of the Power of the Holy Spirit and of the way He communicates with those who are in spirit and have within him the Spirit of Christ and consequently He stresses by saying, "WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST".
Christ speaks through the Holy Spirit, from His mind to our mind, and we who are witnesses of these truths, because we interact with the Lord Jesus through the messages of the Holy Spirit, from the mind of Christ to our mind.
This is what we wanted, all of you, to know, to interact with the Holy Spirit, to interact with the mind of Christ.
AMEN.
