WORD OF HOPE FOR TODAY by Ptr. Rolly Custodio
ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN INTERPRET THE BIBLE
“We have the mind of Christ.”
1Co 2:16 NLT
Today’s Insight
When your mind is not open to the Holy Spirit, you cannot understand God’s Word. So if you find reading the Bible unrewarding, try this: Before you open your Bible, open your heart and pray, “Holy Spirit, show me what I don’t see and teach me what I don’t know.
” Paul writes: “It was to us that God revealed these things by His Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets. No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit.
And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom…we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit’s words to explain spiritual truths. But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths…It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.
Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others. For, ‘Who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?’ But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ” (vv. 10-16 NLT).
Application
The Bible isn’t like any other book. Its author is the Holy Spirit, therefore when you approach the Bible you must ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes and give you understanding. He will!
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today. Lord thank you for sealing me your Holy Spirit during the time when I surrender my life to you, you promise in Ephesians 1:13 that the Holy Spirit sealed us and we are now adopted as your children (John 1:12). Thank you Lord for this wonderful promises and I believe by faith in your Word that this is the real truth. Lord from this moment on I will not hear and listen to the wisdom of this world rather I will listen to your Wisdom or Word from the Bible that we may live worthy of our calling for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of God. In order to grow in your faith with God please do these consistently starting today; 1. Pray always 2. Read your Bible Daily 3. Attend Church Services Regularly 4.
