Bible Question:
I have heard/ seen of this technique before ... Diversion. I want you to asnwer my question. How can 1 Cor 14:14 be your reference, when it says "my spirit prays" not the "Spirit of the Living God" |
Bible Answer: My dear one in Christ: although I am a new comer in this forum ,but i want to share what I know about this verse, Paul was pointing in other places that it is also not easy to recognize the spirit, and as we see now a days there are alot mess in the minds of people and believers and it is a pitty to say that but it is reality. We believers can not understand sometimes the right Spirit, and alot of time pray in the spirit (because we say so and think so)but it is not the spirit it is we and ourselves , it we that make the words in a strange way and speak them out, and honesty it is really hard to deal with this subject because , i know what is in me but i never know what is in others heart/mind . let me me give you an example, I was a big confference once and therei saw people praying in tongues, I saw a preacher that was busy in praying in tongues laudly and all at once he saw a friend of him in the other side of the hall, at the same moment that him hands were up to God , he shaked his hand and followed it by saying "HELLO" . I am not going to judge that brother, instead i want to learn that when the Spirit of God is upon you then it is not you, you don't know what you say and what you see. You are in near relation with your Lover. So what I have in my mind for myself is that I have to be careful too much about it, I have to let the Spirit come and start in me. It is a gift, and a gift should be given. I don't know if what i shared is useful for you or not , but I hope in what i said the name of the Father be glorified. My God bless us and give us wisdom. |
