1Co 2:1 When I came to you, brothers, I didn't come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
1Co 2:2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Yashua the Messiah, and him crucified. 1Co 2:3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 1Co 2:4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 1Co 2:5 that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1Co 2:6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing. 1Co 2:7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, 1Co 2:8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory. 1Co 2:9 But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him." 1Co 2:10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 1Co 2:11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit. 1Co 2:12 But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God. 1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things. 1Co 2:14 Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1Co 2:15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one. 1Co 2:16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?" But we have Messiah's mind. Do you find it difficult talking with those who don't have the mind of Christ? Does it seem their agenda always clashes with your own? Many times, I have dealt with folks who don't have a deep understanding of scripture, and whose eyes and ears are closed to the truth. It is like pulling teeth to talk about even the basic fundamentals of covenants, laws and guidelines for daily living such as prayer, food, work, study, and rest. It is foolishness to these people what we believe in. It is beyond their comprehension that we have an ongoing conversation with the Holy Spirit, and actually feel the presence of One so much greater than ourselves. If we on a daily basis, seek out His truths, His leading, His compassion for others, His far reaching evangelism, His lifesaving power of healing, His awesome ability to relate to us thru nature and circumstances around us, ....can we not find that we are walking in an intimate relationship with the Savior and King Yahshua? If our focus is on things temporal instead of the kingdom treasures....do we find ourselves living just half of the potential that we are meant to live? In searching my own heart, I want to live for Him in all the fullness that only He can bestow. To walk with full measure of the annointing.....to strive to please Him, to help and uplift others, to teach that in this day and time, there is a glorious alternative to an empty shell of a life without Him. We have such a reward before us, as mentioned in the Word, "1Co 2:9 But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him." Are you a Christian? Do you know Him today? Is He your all in all? Our prayer for you is that HE IS....YOUR ALL IN ALL, EVERYDAY AND YOUR WHOLE LIFE THRU! Let us all work together to build the Kingdom of Yah!
