GOD the ultimate quest, GOD the greatest test-- the greatest Journey ---the final destination is being able to know what is in the MIND of GOD and then obeying HIM. Is this possible?? Do I sound spooky or just way too spiritual.. some say.. Nobody can know the mind of GOD.....
In this current age and in a world with many many voices---- with many many doctrines -----------with many many so called teachers.. only one is necessary and only one can be assured to be the voice of GOD ...
John 10:27
The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me.
This voice will not necessarily be known through our most ardent study or from those who are able to succumb there hearers with the most persuasive speech..
Luke 10:21
In that same hour He rejoiced and gloried in the Holy Spirit and said, I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have concealed these things [relating to salvation] from the wise and understanding and learned, and revealed them to babes (the childish, unskilled, and untaught). Yes, Father, for such was Your gracious will and choice and good pleasure.
Oh yes, seeking God my brother and sister is indeed NOT an academic pursuit..uummhummm too much flesh involved ..do you not understand??? education is amoral it is how it is used like any tool of life.. except when it becomes an idol.. as happily proclaimed by our LORD Jesus in the preceding verse.. Why did He choose the unlearned????
1 Cor 1:28
And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose and bring to nothing the things that are,
1 Cor 1:29
So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God
The mind of GOD is revealed by God not obtained through hours of study.. ... AND The Reality of Jesus is in a convincing display of HIS presence and HIS Power.. This alone will discredit the counterfeits and lay to rest useless debates..
1 Cor 2:4and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
Do you believe the Bible.. do you really....well if you do then we CAN KNOW the Mind of GOD..
1 Cor 2:16For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart
In the end -----the summation of all things is found in the beginning of creation and with its creator GOD..
John 1:1
IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.
John 1:2
He was present originally with God.
John 1:3
All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being
You can know the mind of the Lord , If you are saved----Born Again , Born from Heaven you NOW have the Mind of Christ---------- Listen to HIM...
John 1:12
But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name
Eccl 12:13
All has been heard; the end of the matter is: Fear God [revere and worship Him, knowing that He is] and keep His commandments, for this is the whole of man [the full, original purpose of his creation, the object of God's providence, the root of character, the foundation of all happiness, the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances and conditions under the sun] and the whole [duty] for every man.
That's the answer there we find our resting place the journey is over and our quest fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ.
