DEVELOPING THE FUNCTION OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT(4)

DEVELOPING THE FUNCTION OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT(4)

1 Corinthians 2:6-15 states that, "
'6' Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a [higher] wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away.
'7' But rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once hidden [from the human understanding] and now revealed to us by God–[that wisdom] which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification [to lift us into the glory of His presence].
'8' None of the rulers of this age or world perceived and recognized and understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.
'9' But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed]. [Isa. 64:4; 65:17.]
'10' Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man's scrutiny].
'11' For what person perceives (knows and understands) what passes through a man's thoughts except the man's own spirit within him? Just so no one discerns (comes to know and comprehend) the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
'12' Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God.
'13' And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit].
'14' But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.
'15' But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him]." 
2 Corinthians 12:3-4 states that "
'3' And I know that this man–whether in the body or away from the body I do not know, God knows–
'4' Was caught up into paradise, and he heard utterances beyond the power of man to put into words, which man is not permitted(not lawful) to utter."  This doesn't mean those words were not permitted by heaven to be spoken on earth, but it was not permitted by men that such words should be spoken, because if you spoke them among men, they would think that you're out of your mind. They were the right things to speak, but according to men, it was strange, abnormal and not accepted to be used as a means of communication among them.

For example, in the realm of the spirit, you don't say, ' God I need you to activate my spiritual senses'. That's an illegal operation. That is human language. We haven't ascended beyond the communication of human senses and sensations that we've got. And so we're limited by the understanding of others. If you want to operate by your spiritual senses and spiritual sensations, in the realm of the spirit, you simply declare, 'am operating by my spiritual senses and spiritual sensations!' You know that you should not limit yourself to the language around you. But we should speak the wisdom and power of love! Such wisdom that is not lawful to man's system of operating things.

When you don't operate by your spiritual senses and spiritual sensations, you'll not know much of what to do about God's word in the spiritual world, and you'll be calling on God to do what He wanted you to do in the spiritual realm and the working of your faith will be limited, and you're going to be a victim instead of a victor.
