Are our leaders embarrassed by religion, by the supernatural?
It would seem that some would appear to be offended if any today speak of miracles or spiritual things or even supernatural aspects of Christianity. They attack any who say the gifts of the Spirit are for today and they say that no one can hear teaching from the Spirit except the old apostles of yesterday, or that the anointing that teaches all things, claiming that the anointing from the Holy one (the unction) is simply scripture or someone who has preached a message to us. They wrongly say, that no one can hear God’s voice today but through scripture and that God does not speaks in believers. Abd that there is no “extra biblical revelation” as they call it.
They are very similar to the religious men of Jesus day who thought they had eternal life in the scriptures but did not come to Jesus or hear his word in their heart. They did not have spiritual eyes or ears.
Yet these men act as if they are the very foundation of truth and all wisdom of men and excellency of speech. They profess themselves to be wise and mock others who seek to be led by the Spirit abd hear from God in revelation. Much of thier understanding comes from endless reading of other mens words through history and from Greek and Hebrew studies and thier pagan Hermeneutics philosophy of interpreting scripture. Yet in scripture we see that no man knows the things of God but the Spirit of God and to whom he reveals them. The natural man cannot know the things of God, (1 Cor. 2)
And yes, holy scripture is very important and knowing the meaning of words is good to, but spiritual truth is understood by the spiritual man. The rule is to walk and live in the new creation in Christ. Then all scripture can be understood as God reveals things, to the body of Christ.
God works in us to will and to do and to make us perfect in every good work, working in us that which is well pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, (Hebrews 13:20,21 KJV)
Abd as Jesus said, without him we can do nothing John 15 And Christ works effectually in the measure of every part to make increase if the body to the edifying of itself in love (Ephesians 4:15,16 KJV)
