It’s one thing to lean towards God for understanding, scripture says the Holy Ghost will guide us.Doctor Google:
The Anointing is the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. It enables the believer to understand, apply, and administer spiritual truth. Simply put, the presence of The Anointing enables believers to have a spiritual connection.
Acts 10:38 (tpt)
The Passion Translation (TPT)“Jesus of Nazareth was anointed by God with the Holy Spirit and with great power. He did wonderful things for others and divinely healed all who were under the tyranny of the devil, for God had anointed him.
Acts 10:38 (kjv)
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Proverbs 3:5-6 ( kjv)
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
-----------------
Why is it that scripture reads to trust in the Lord with all thine heart as opposed to all of scripture? Why does it not say trust in the Lord with all of scripture because scripture interprets itself?
Meaning to do good are we yet blinded to this way perhaps--- God is who He is because the bible tells me so? The prophets say this and that, we follow them?
Is it possible to interpret scripture with an as yet unchanged heart or not sufficiently changed and so like Nicodemus ask "How is it that a man can be born again." and yet know to reach towards all of scripture, chapters and verses, to prove that the nature of the God we know for being ------------( fill in the blank) is smart?
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." ( Ever wonder where the word stoned comes from meaning that thinking and perception is altered by the input of some mind altering substance? And note the word alter in this text?)
I'm thinking Paul had this new spirit for being knocked down from his perch, of understanding God one way when he was up it and another way when he came down and to another way.
It’s another to take scripture describing the Holy Ghost…..being filled….full of……and even Jesus being anointed……. and place a separate body as we have on a spirit.
