I had an interesting encounter with some so called learned individuals. It was explained to me that interpretation of the Bible is done most effectively through the use of hermeneutics. I am familiar with the technique but I have a huge problem with its application. It leaves out the Holy Spirit.
It is the Holy Spirit that distributes revelation knowledge and understanding of the Bible not some man contrived method. These people reject the leading of the Spirit in order to adhere to their deeply eroneous intellecturalism. I would take one single revelation from GOD Himself ratthan all the book knowledge in the world.
At that time Jesus began to say, I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth [and I acknowledge openly and joyfully to Your honor], that You have hidden these things from the wise and clever and learned, and revealed them to babies [to the childish, untaught, and unskilled].
.
We can not talk about the Bible, GOD the Father and Christ Jesus and then leave our the person of the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit the church does not exist. It is not the anointing that makes things happen in the earth for GOD it is solely the work of His Precious Holy Spirit. When you hear people say the Lord is giving you a greater anointing they are WRONG!!! God has said no such thing because God does not talk like that. Instead God may say I am giving you a greater portion of His Spirit and that Spirit is the person of the Holy Spirit.
2 Kin 2:9
When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you." And Elisha said, "Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me."
Since the Holy Spirit is GOD, then calling the work of GOD being from another source, is then taking credit away from GOD Himself.
Diminishing the role of the Holy Spirit in the Church for man made processes is also sinful, it is the practice of idolatry. It is the Holy Spirit that defines how the church is governed.
For example;
1 Cor 12:28
So God has appointed some in the church [for His own use]: first apostles (special messengers); second prophets (inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers; then those with ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; [speakers in] different (unknown) tongues.
Now who are you to change GOD's appointments.
Finally please realize it is the Hply Spirit that represents GOD in the earth and we are admonished , we are compelled to follow His lead.
1 Cor 2:10 Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man's scrutiny].
I just realized that I have a huge problem with anyone at all that leaves out the GOD's Holy Spirit. I want nothing to do with thise people.
