There are a lot of things Christians receive that we don’t fully understand. Like a mark of Redemption. Many people don’t know what that means. Gifts to be able to hear. Many Christians don’t believe you can HEAR but it’s not that you actually audibly hear. Or that believers receive power. Much of the church doesn’t believe that! How about receiving a language that we may not fully understand? There are a lot of things of the Spirit that we just plain don’t understand. How can simply praying a prayer give us the right to go to heaven? How can simply asking to be forgiven wipe us clean of every sin we have or will ever commit? How can the most despicable person pray a prayer and be absolved of all his wrongdoing and be given the right to go to heaven while some of the sweetest people—kind, considerate, understanding—never found the need to pray the prayer and lose that right and spend eternity in hell? How does that make sense to us?

YET it seems the more in depth we go in the things of the Spirit, the more there comes a clarity that begins to make sense of that which doesn’t make sense! Does that make sense? It’s like when you tell a Christian who is seeking direction, “Why don’t you ask the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of truth, what’s the truth because He loves to tell the truth?” and they look at you like you have some marbles loose.

BOTTOM LINE: We don’t have to fully understand it to operate in it…but somehow through the Spirit, the more we operate in it, the more we understand it. That is called being led by the Spirit!
