We shall now examine the main quality
of the Holy Spirit.
1 CORINTHIANS 2 : 14 says, But the
natural man receiveth not the things of the
Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto
him: neither can he know them, because they
are spiritually discerned.
Man cannot receive anything from
God without having a relationship with
God and without the help of the Holy
Spirit. And even we cannot know anything without the Holy Spirit. We may
be a great scholar, a high dignitary etc.
but without the Holy Spirit, we cannot
know the spiritual things.
So, according to the above verse, any
man can know or receive anything from
God, only through his personal spiritual
experience of the Holy Spirit. When we
are gathered together as a congregation
and worship God, the Holy Spirit works
to quench the person’s spiritual thirst by
the Word of God and we become spiritual.
1 CORINTHIANS 2 : 4 - 5 says, And my
speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom but in demonstration of the spirit and of power: That your
faith should not stand in the wisdom of men,
but in the power of God.
The above verse high lights faith. If we
analyse it deeply, we get to know that we
can receive God’s power through faith.
This faith is a means to live an abundant
life.
1 CORINTHIANS 2 : 6 says, Howbeit
we speak wisdom among them that are prefect:
The verse says that wisdom is preached
among the perfect. Who are perfect?
Those who receive the Holy Spirit are
perfect! Those who have believed Christ
are perfect, holy, believers and God’s
children. These people are eligible to

The Acts November 2013
listen to the Word of God
and God will preach them “Now we have
the Word.
1CORITHINANS 2 : 7 says,
But we speak the wisdom of
God in a mystery, even the
hidden wisdom, which God
ordained before the World
unto our glory:
received, not the
spirit of the world,
but the spirit which
is of God; that
we might know
the things that are
freely given to us
of God. Which things
also we speak,
not in the words
which man’s wisdom
teacheth, but which
the Holy Ghost
teacheth; comparing
spiritual things with
spiritual.”
The worldly wisdom is
foolish and it is far away
from the divine plan of
God. We can not know the
divine plan of God through
the worldly knowledge.
But the wisdom of God
will be with us in all matters which is a mysterious
hidden wisdom. We have
to dig deep into this mystery to understand it and
only then we will be able to change the
spiritual gifts into the physical blessings
and experience them. The Holy Spirit
will help us to experience them. We can
unravel the meaning of this message only
by reading the Holy Bible.
1CORITHINANS 2 : 9 says, But as it
is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared for them
that love him.
God has hidden things which the eye
did not see, ear did not hear and heart
could not understand for people who
love him. This theory is not found in any
scriptures or in any research labs. This is
prepared only for people who love God.
And it is possible only for people who
desire to meditate on the word with the
help of the Holy Spirit. And even before
the foundation of the earth, God has
hidden it for people who love Him. For
this reason, let us now decide that we
will love Jesus. People who love Jesus will
meditate the word. And if they are regularly attending the church, then they are
showing their love through this action.
1CORINTHIANS 2 : 10
says, But God hath revealed
them unto us by his Spirit: for
the Spirit searcheth all things,
yea, the deep things of God.
The people of the world
are unaware that God will
give His Spirit to the people
who love Him. The Holy
Spirit through the Spirit of
God will give us the things
which the eye can not see,
ear can not hear and heart
can not understand. When
we live an abundant life because of this, then people
who do not know Christ
will see it and follow Christ.
This is Christianity and it is
an extraordinary blessing.
This blessing can be called
as the Power. Christ will not
receive glory through ordinary powerless
sermons but only by the power that we
exhibit and which cannot be comprehended by people. The miracles that we
receive from the Holy Spirit cannot be
discerned by any scholar which is not
possible in any era.
But this can be possible only for a believer who has the Holy Spirit in Him.
For all the problems on the earth, only
Christians should be able to show all the
solutions. If only the princes of this world
could understand this, then they would
not have crucified him. They would instead bow down before him and strive to
establish his kingdom. For this reason, it
has been recorded in the scriptures that
God has blessed the little children with
this wisdom. If we wish to receive this
great power of the Holy Spirit, then we
have to meditate on the Word of God
and pray for the help of the Holy Spirit.
1CORINTHIANS 2 : 11 says, For what
man knoweth the things of a man, save the
spirit of man which is in him? Even so the
things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit
of God.
