The inner Spirit Makes It Plain

The inner spirit Makes It Plain


God gave us His Spirit to make heavenly mystery and vision plain in our mind.  God gave us His spirit to make His vision, purpose and plan plain for us so that we can know, understand and follow it without confusion, blindness or madness in our mind. His spirit in us removed the curse in Deut 28:28. You are no longer under the curse of fear, anxiety, worry, confusion, madness and ignorance. (Gal 3:13-14). It is given to us to know and understand the mystery of heaven concerning our situation (Luk 8:10). The spirit of God lightens our mind to see and understand (Mat 13:16, Joh 1:5, 2Ti 1:7). The inner voice of God’s spirit in us makes spiritual things plain in our mind (1Co 2:11-13)

That's why we have this Scripture text: No one's ever seen or heard anything like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it-- What God has arranged for those who love him. But you've seen and heard it because God by his Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you. The Spirit, not content to flit around on the surface, dives into the depths of God, and brings out what God planned all along. (1Co 2:9-10 MSG)

Who ever knows what you're thinking and planning except you yourself? The same with God--except that he not only knows what he's thinking, but he lets us in on it. God offers a full report on the gifts of life and salvation that he is giving us. We don't have to rely on the world's guesses and opinions. We didn't learn this by reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us person-to-person through Jesus, and we're passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way. (1Co 2:11-13 MSG)

The unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can't receive the gifts of God's Spirit. There's no capacity for them. They seem like so much silliness. Spirit can be known only by spirit--God's Spirit and our spirits in open communion. Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God's Spirit is doing, and can't be judged by unspiritual critics. (1Co 2:14-15 MSG)

Isaiah's question, "Is there anyone around who knows God's Spirit, anyone who knows what he is doing?" has been answered: Christ knows, and we have Christ's Spirit. (1Co 2:16 MSG)

 But they're no match for what is embedded deeply within you--Christ's anointing, no less! You don't need any of their so-called teaching. Christ's anointing teaches you the truth on everything you need to know about yourself and him, uncontaminated by a single lie. Live deeply in what you were taught. (1Jn 2:27 MSG)

Sin versus grace, grace wins hands down

Sin versus grace, grace wins hands down

Sometimes it sounds too good to be true but it is true; the truth that shines in spite of darkness of deception and no deception can extinguish it. 

For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God's wonderful grace and His gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one Man, Jesus Christ. Yes, Adam's one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ's one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone. 

Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous. God's law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God's wonderful grace became more abundant. So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God's wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

(Rom 5:17-21 NLT)

Know your worth

Know your worth

Everything you manifest as personality, behavior, attitude, power, righteousness, wisdom, intelligence, and worth are from your being not doing. The effectiveness of your doing is from your being. Therefore you need to have thorough understanding of your worth and identity before you proceed to know anything else.

Your creator is the only one qualified to determine your worth. He said your worth is the price He paid to redeem you.

You are now a new person with new worth.

2Co 5:16  Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 2Co 5:17  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
