In a study of a single verse in the Bible we can see the MAJOR NECESSITY of BEING FULLY SURRENDERED to the LORD. The ONLY thought that matters in the Word of GOD is the ORIGINAL THOUGHT OF GOD and not the interpretation of men….so the only way to understand this is to BE totally and fully surrendered to GOD so that the HOLY SPIRIT CAN GUIDE YOU TO ALL TRUTH. And an understanding of this can be seen in the single verse 1 Corinthians 2:13 in which the HOLY SPIRIT shows that HE teaches by COMPARING SPIRITUAL THINGS WITH SPIRITUAL THINGS.
What does this mean exactly? Well a “SPIRITUAL THING” is referring to the SPIRITUAL THINGS OF GOD, given by GOD: TONGUES; INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES; WORDS OF KNOWLEDGE; WORDS OF WISDOM; HEALING; DREAMS; VISIONS; PROPHECY and Works of Wonders GIVEN BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH A FULL SURRENDER TO GOD.
Example: Peter was given the first “spiritual thing” (Acts 10:9) a vision of a blanket three times of unclean food but Peter began to understand that he could eat these things–then the next “spiritual thing” was the angel directing Cornelius the Gentile to seek after Peter and then Peter saw Cornelius and the Gentiles who were baptized in the HOLY SPIRIT and also spoke in tongues (Acts 10:44). So the revelation of the two “spiritual things” was that Peter was to take the Gospel out to the Gentiles.
So recently, I had an experience that demonstrates how GOD teaches: 1st Spiritual thing: the LORD gave me a prophetic word. HE said HE would be coming from the East, and I even looked this up in the Bible. Then a couple days later 2nd Spiritual thing: The LORD gave me a rapture dream and, in the dream, HE spoke to me the same words which were that HE would be coming from the East, then I saw angels in the East sky coming from outer space into the atmosphere to earth in a huge number to come for the people. The revelation is that we need to be watching now for HIS coming. And the HOLY SPIRIT STILL TEACHES THIS WAY TODAY!
So you can see the MAJOR problem that the lukewarm church has in understanding the Word of GOD if the lukewarm church wants nothing to do with the moves of the HOLY SPIRIT in their churches: such as denying teaching and rejecting supernatural moves of GOD such as speaking in tongues and interpretations; dreams; visions; and Works of Wonders….so now you see the teachings of men without the “Dunamis” or “Power” of the HOLY SPIRIT only leads to man twisting scripture; changing GOD’s original meaning of scripture; traditions of men, and false doctrines; having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof; and ultimately death from lack of knowledge…
1 Corinthians 2:13 (KJV): Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
