Subject: Evidence of holy spirit in a Christian? |
Bible Note: Thank you very much Ray for answering to my note, I am thankful for your encouraging words. I'll attempt to clarify those two verses that you commented on! First, Deuteronomy 34:9: I don't see the difference between the Spirit of Power and the Spirit of Wisdom, for it is one Spirit, and the gifts are the manifestation of the Spirit. 1 Corinithians 12:4 "There are different kind of gifts but the same Spirit." and verse 8 is the connection with Joshua: "To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom..." So what did Joshua receive? A seperate Spirit of Wisdom? Is there a Spirit of Wisdom that I am unaware of? It is the same Spirit, but everyone is given different gifts, as it is today! As it says furthur on in 1 Corinthians 12:11, "All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines." The second verse, Luke 1:41, shows a powerful example of the Spirit bearing witness with the Spirit! There was some radical connection between the two babies that made John the Baptist leap when Mary greeted Elizabeth. Even later on, John new exactly who Jesus was when a much older man stood before him at the sea of Galilee. No human words were spoken, but John immediatly recognized Jesus as the Son of God. This is an example of the Spirit testifying with the Spirit. (Romans 8:16) Also read 1 Corinthians 2:10-16. This bit of scripture makes it clear that what is revealed of God is by the Spirit and not by human understanding. John was filled with the Spirit from birth (Luke 1:15b) but Jesus was born OF the Spirit and his birth was through the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 1:18, Luke 1:35, Matthew 1:20) The same Spirit, a powerful reaction! I want to thank you again, Ray, for correcting me. I have a lot to learn from the Word and I hope those here who are older than I am can help me out, the Bible says for the young not to despise the wisdom of the wise, but to listen and learn. Please encourage me and correct! Mr. Aixen, I am willing to listen to you and would be very appreciative if you gave me verses and instruction on your points as well, I am not as you said unwilling to learn!:) I apologize, Ray, I am completely unaware in the area of capitilization so I can't really answer your question... but I would be happy if you could explain to me what you are saying about capitalizing the "Spirit" and "Power" etc. Thank you, hope to hear from you soon! Love in Christ, Eli |
