TRUE UNDERSTANDING AND PERCEIVING

Acts 28:26

"Go to this people, and say, 'You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see and never perceive.'" ESV

Those who are alive spiritually will hear God speaking through the Word and by the Holy Spirit. So many people believe they can hear God, but they don't know Him at all, nor can they truly hear His voice. They miss the marvelous things God does because their hearts are hardened and they refuse to believe the truth.

Lord, we thank You that You have made a way for us to hear You leading us through Your Word. We ask for the Holy Spirit to keep us attuned to Your Word. In Your name we pray, Amen.

WHAT SPIRIT HAVE WE ACCEPTED?

1 Corinthians 2:12

"Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God." ESV

It isn't in our human nature to know and understand the things of God. We can know them by His Holy Spirit. The spirit of the world can only reveal those things we can experience through our five senses. As true children of God, we can have full knowledge of the things of God that the world cannot understand. The world thinks we are foolish. They need Christ.

Lord, we thank You for Your Holy Spirit who guides us into all truth. Help us to remember that the world is blinded to the things of Your kingdom because of sin. Prompt us to pray for them to believe and receive You into their lives. In Your precious name we pray, Amen.
