The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ. - 1 Corinthians 2:10b-16
The best example of spiritual formation takes us back 2,000 years ago to Jesus. He was and is our example. His leadership modeled how to develop into the created image of the Trinity. Confessing and believing in the Son of God that has come in the flesh, must translate to a daily walk that seeks and desires Him in Spirit and in Truth. At the ascension into Heaven Jesus Christ ushered in the Holy Spirit to live and manifest the presence of GOD in us. Now the WORD has the power to take residence in and through us as we daily yield.
Currently, what we need is not another sermon, but life application of the WORD that has been given to us. For many, the sermon has become rhetoric, but not implemented into the daily life of the individual. The sermon has become just one more source of information in a person's life and not THEE source for Life and life more abundant.
Questions for Reflection:
Do you seek the Spirit of Truth from the Lord or another sermon?
Are we modeling what Christ modeled?
Has the WORD become life for you?
IS the WORD IN YOU?
Are we being taught by Human Wisdom or the Spirit of God?
Blessings,
Todd
