Day 218 Bible Readings – 1 Corinthians 2: 9-11 (ESV)

1 Chronicles 22-23, 1 Corinthians 2, Psalm 119: 65-72

1 Corinthians 2: 9-11 (ESV)

“But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.”

In verses 9 through 11 from 1 Corinthians 2, Paul tells us about the limitations of human understanding. Father-God’s plans and purposes can only be revealed through the Holy Spirit. We cannot use human wisdom and reasoning to understand the will of Father-God. If we have a relationship with Father-God through our faith in Jesus Christ, we also have a relationship with the Holy Spirit. We need to develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit to understand God’s plans for our life. We must rely on the Holy Spirit to reveal to us the deeper truths in the Bible verses we read. We need to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit to transform our thinking and actions, so they are aligned more with Father-God. Paul tells us the Holy Spirit knows our all of our most intimate thoughts, just as the Holy Spirit knows the thoughts of Father-God. This same Holy Spirit is the conduit, the bridge, to help us not only understand the wisdom and teaching of Jesus Christ in the Bible, but to also give revelation and insight about how to deepen our relationship with Father-God. I’ve only recently developed a relationship with the Holy Spirit, since the former churches I attended did not teach that it was important to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit. And now that I have a relationship with the Holy Spirit, I don’t know how anyone can develop a deeper relationship with Father-God without the Holy Spirit. A relationship with the Holy Spirit has transformed my life, allowing me to witness incredible signs and miracles If you don’t already have a relationship with the Holy Spirit, pray to Father-God for guidance on how to develop one. I promise that it will change your life!

If you enjoyed reading my thoughts on these Bible verses, and you want to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit through your faith in Jesus Christ, please pray this prayer out loud:

Heavenly Father, I want to give you my Life. Forgive me of all of my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart You raised Jesus from the dead. I confess with my mouth Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive forgiveness by the blood of Jesus. I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you prayed that prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! Do yourself a favor and find and join a Holy Spirit filled, full Gospel, Bible-based church where you can hear the words of Father-God preached and experience signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
