In the depth of the scripture, we find a promise so profound it stirs the soulāāhe will teach you all thingsā (John 14:26). This promise introduces us not to a familiar form of intellect but to a divine brilliance that transcends time, cultures, and the highest realms of human thought. This Genius, unlike any we encounter in our daily lives, operates beyond the grasp of the ages and the rulers that define them (1 Corinthians 2:6). His wisdom penetrates the very essence of divinity, unveiling mysteries mankind has long sought but never fully understood (1 Corinthians 2:10).
This perfect, unmitigated genius has one purpose: to draw out the very best within us. Sent by the Father, at the behest of our Lord Jesus Christ, He aims to illuminate our lives with truth, guiding us gently into the fullness of understanding (John 16:12-15). Imagine the entirety of truth, every nuance of divine wisdom, being infused into our existenceāthat is His mission.
Our Role in This Divine Partnership
So, what is required of us in this celestial partnership? Surprisingly, the ask is minimal yet profoundly impactful. Our part involves embracing the foundational practices Jesus exemplified: meditation, prayer, study, fasting, service, confession, repentance, worship, and celebration. These acts of devotion, even when executed imperfectly, open our lives to the Spirit's transformative brilliance. Neglect them, and we remain untouched by the gifts intended for us, for āthe unspiritual self cannot receive the gifts of Godās Spiritā (1 Corinthians 2:14-16).
Call to Action: Engage with the Divine
Brothers, the invitation stands open. Embark, even in the smallest of ways, on a journey towards spiritual engagement. Let us unite in this endeavor, allowing the Spirit to infuse our lives with a hint of His infinite genius today. He awaits eagerly, residing within us, ready to reveal the depths of Godās truth. Letās not keep Him waiting. Embrace the simple, pursue the divine, and watch as the unparalleled genius of the Spirit transforms our lives from the inside out. He's readyāare you?
It's a total game changer to walk with God. And it takes consistency in incorporating that into everyday life, but well worth it. Sadly, without a foundation of faith, or even awareness that God exists, it's hard for people to understand those concepts. That's why I believe God had so many of us writing for him.
Yes. We are very close. You are spot on!
