John 3:8
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." NIV
(Just an observation made, but have you ever noticed Paul did NOT say the Holy Spirit specifically said to his person....."GO ---> to Jerusalem"? Instead Paul used the tone of the word "Compelled".)
He also frames his spiritual foresight by way of selected words which suggested "Not Knowing" and "I ONLY Know"?
Acts 20:22-23
"And now, compelled by the Spirit , I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.
NIV
How would anyone whose also hoping to teach another about the lifestyle and/or mindset of the spiritual type of man if those being taught had nothing else to compare this style/type of teaching with?
Even more pointed as though a lesson "Objective" is when we (As believers in Christ) also remember that without "Faith" it is impossible to "Please God"? Equally important is that we also remember as "Believers" we are instructed that "We walk by faith and NOT by sight"?
In my own walk of faith, I've found the Holy Spirit will more often give you just enough (Justify) information, yet it will always require the attempt made (effort put forth) as if trying to fill in the blanks found in between those seemingly clearer and informative "Dots"....
I also believe the Lord loves a cheerful giver and that to include the "Giving" of everything within us as believers that does eternally matter which should also interpret MUCH MORE "Serious spiritual Consideration".....
It's as if we today get to see the growth of his personal day to day increase of his "Knowledge" base (ledger) in terms of getting to know the divine spiritual line or form of communication (language) better?
As if he (Paul) is scribing while he too is observing mental entries made that speak to his person what he does know beyond doubt and what he's willing to GO and find out about? And that while only knowing SOME of the OTHER details? Details like book ends which also share the KNOWN Net Results that include "Prison"?
Do you think that if today Paul was among the living believers who are also in Christ today, some believers today would find his use of words as though "Boastful"? Have you ever tried to consider the man "Paul" as though he'd been stripped of his Godly narrative?
That to suggest the type of read of his personage where he as a mere man was the instrument used where God performed miracles?
Some might suggest they still would, yet how many forget that Jesus came to his own as did "Paul" yet their own "Rejected" the person despite the miracles many SAW with their OWN eyes they performed?
Who today could honestly say they can "Look forward" with any degree of accuracy? Even further and because you can (see) you are also peering into the realm of the "Prophetic"?
What type of impact can the Second coming of Christ prove to those who refused not only the "Truth" but the continuous leading of His Holy Spirit whom is also in agreement with One and the SAME ......"Headship"?
Looking forward in one context as though a "loose reference made", yet what about in terms of being a prophet?
A prophet "Maybe"? Yet what about the type of prophet who's afraid (Fearful) of going to prison or even lessor types of hardship(s)?
All the above falling short of laying down their "Lives" as we all suggest we we have understood what "True" life WILL appear as having somehow mysteriously "Applied" the SAME TYPE OF FAITH being suggested is also going to somehow Mysteriously save us because we have "Believed"?
Believed what though? And as such at a spiritually defining altitude in terms of spiritual maturity (Maturation)?
At what point does the informative words of God also intuitively speak all that they can and do speak which also attempt to "Inform" the "Part Time" inquirer?
At what point does a part time approach also get ALL it has been "Promised"? And that while truthfully weighing in on where the ALL also weighs in at it final weight? As if Talking about IN THE SIGHT OF GOD instead of the observance, possible tipping of the scales and bag of weights used having been provided by the MAN ....Kind?
The type of TRUTHFUL inquiry made that will also promote the wisdom in knowing that"Anything that is NOT of "Faith" is considered to be "What" IN THE SIGHT OF GOD?
The type of pause where someone who also "Knows" having been told they're going to "Prison" if they were to follow these type of compulsions? The type of compulsions put forth as if those same compulsion(s) (impulses) were provided by the Holy Spirit?
How much MORE Faith (if any) is God requiring TODAY?
As if observing a type of spiritual man who's now running a race at full sprint? Could the Glory cloud of the Lord be moving at a much faster pace today or is it only that times seems to be moving faster than 24/7 used to?
That same measurement stated as if "Time" that also includes the "Timing of the Lord"?
Could it be why the he phrase "Looking Forward" today has LOST the depth of its TRUE MEANING it had in times past. As if used to suggest Prophetically speaking.....
How real does it seem to you the type of "Weakness" Paul is well known for preaching about as if the type of weakness that's still in need and within OUR reach today? Yet the only reason for draw back is today is that it has been so well taught about the "Cause and resulting affects" that DO accompany "Advance Notice"?
As such because of what CAN BE SEEN having been informed by the Holy Spirit?
Yet today based on what is being taught about as t how to make Disciples who also follow Paul and the Christ He taught? To whom is this type of credit given that might OTHERWISE suggest loss of fame, freedom and otherwise "Blessed circumstances"?
In terms of travel and accommodations, would it be safe to assume Paul didn't even bother making reservations at the "Holiday Inn" of his time?
Knowing that the message He brought would result in "What"?
Was it the miracles that Got The Christ or Paul killed? Or was it the message those miracles Validated as though true?
Living life sized Proof that pointed directly at where some could no longer hide behind the veil of self promoted "Ignorance" as though the type of evidence that only reinforced the divinity of the "Message"? As if either were wearing the spiritual "Signet Ring" of the King who sent them?
Shouldn't the truthful question BE, who's asking ALL the right questions as if a TRUTHFUL response WILL then serve it righteous "Intent & Purpose" while in this world?
How many faces does the "Suppressing of ALL that is True" look like? And as such if NOT like the Lord?
Who has the strength to ask such pointed questions without shrinking back from a divine Identity that ONLY Christ can validate in another day to come?
Unfriendly Words spoken yet to whom? How frightening will simple words spoken such as "I do NOT KNOW YOU" prove to be in the future?
