1 Corinthians 2:12 (NKJV) 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
There may be many things that we can’t understand about God with our natural minds. This is perfectly normal, since we are carnal and God is spiritual.
As believers, God wants to change that. He wants us to learn to see beyond what our natural eyes can see and understand beyond what our natural minds can comprehend.
Now, that may sound a bit strange to some. After all, we live in a natural world, inside of a natural body of flesh and bone, with a brain made of natural, tangible matter. How can we possibly expect to understand beyond our natural abilities?
Easy. We need to let God teach us to look beyond the natural, into the world behind the scenes; the spiritual world.
God has given us the Holy Spirit, whom He sent to be our Helper.
The Holy Spirit helps us to see and understand the things that our natural mind can’t even begin to fathom. With the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can learn to live by the Spirit 24/7.
And as we grow and mature in living by the Spirit, we will begin to instinctively see past the things right in front of us and see what’s happening behind them.
God has ordained it to be so. It’s part of walking with Him!
Romans 8:14 (NKJV) 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
It may seem strange and foreign to us at first. But, over time, and with effort on our part, we can learn to live by the Spirit, see past the flesh, and get understanding that’s only available to sons and daughters of God.
Amen.
