What we have received is not <strong>the</strong> <strong>spirit</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world, but <strong>the</strong> Spirit who is from God,<br />
so that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not<br />
in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by <strong>the</strong> Spirit, explaining<br />
<strong>spirit</strong>ual realities <strong>with</strong> Spirit-taught words.<br />
1 Corinthians 2:12-13<br />
The knowledge, science, technology, and psychology <strong>of</strong> our time is very impressive.<br />
Mankind has excelled in every impossible way and it has benefited all. We must<br />
appreciate it and learn from it. It only shows how remarkable mankind is as God's<br />
creation.<br />
Yet <strong>the</strong>re is a dimension <strong>of</strong> truth and revelation that flows from God's Holy Spirit. The<br />
revelation that flows from <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit that by far exceeds <strong>the</strong> wisdom <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world.<br />
The essence <strong>of</strong> this knowledge reveals foremost that all <strong>of</strong> mankind was given God's gift<br />
<strong>of</strong> salvation as a free gift - to all <strong>of</strong> mankind. Then <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit also reveals that we<br />
can receive everything else from Abba freely.<br />
Work is simply an expression and deployment <strong>of</strong> our creative energy that results in<br />
goods and services. If we didn't work we would soon become bored and frustrated and<br />
no progress and advancement could take place. The Holy Spirit can reveal to you what<br />
God has given you freely. You may work for a pay-check, but only God can truly give<br />
you abundance and prosperity far beyond what your employment or business can. He<br />
can shower you <strong>with</strong> unearned and unmerited favor. The doctors can give you medical<br />
assistance, but it's truly only God that gives health freely. You may try and impress<br />
people to win <strong>the</strong>m, but only God can give you true friends and family. You may get a<br />
good education, but only God can truly make you a success. You may be very<br />
disciplined, pious and religious , but only God can make you <strong>holy</strong> and freely save you.<br />
Ask <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit to show you what Abba has given as well as what is still freely<br />
available for you. There is so much more freely available for you!!!!
