You probably already felt this way but I just had to make sure...
Basically just making sure that I don't receive any glory for being smart about the bible because without Him I could read the bible all day and never hear or see anything... it just made me feel kind of uncomfortable when you said thank you for my understanding and that I could explain it better... because if there's one thing I've come to realize it's that without Christ I know nothing... so I wanted to make sure the glory for the understanding was given to Christ... as I honestly had never even thought about that before... it was just given to me... and how can I take credit for what's given to me? so I just like to be careful of my ego... and to make sure I don't take any glory that belongs to Jesus... because any understanding or revelation that is truth is from Him... and He deserves all the Glory... because it's only by His Power... it's only by His understanding that we can understand... and when we're gathered in His name... He's in the midst of us... and no matter who what revelation comes from if it's true it's from Him...
I'm sure you already understand that principle... but I need to keep myself accountable... or else I could end up thinking more highly of myself than I ought to...
Hope that makes sense Prentis... Much Love!!!
Wow Ducky... now you're calling the Holy Spirit, "some unknown spirit"?
You should really be careful Ducky... you know what Jesus said to those that insulted the Spirit that was in Him?
You need to realize that when you're insulting the Spirit that's in us you're insulting that same Spirit...
Be careful...
