An "easy" way out

John 4:24             New English Translation

 

24 God is Spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

 

Spiritual communication is seldom established through emotion

Neither can it be done by the mind but through a basic intuition

Its faculty is not well understood, for it does not draw attention

It resides in places the flesh can’t be. It’s like another dimension.

 

The flesh can be used, however, through levels of obedience

But only if it dies to self and in such prepared for specific moments

Then the spiritual truth can come to be through spiritual phrases

So spiritual means direct spiritual ends and in such a just fulfillment

 

Spiritual goals are magnified and processed, molded in the rightful place

Intuition, in its strength, will conflict with all the issues of common sense

Intuition will appear like foolishness through the evaluation of the mind

Contrary to true wisdom and in its human nature will label it nonsense

 

The mind delights in the logic, all things open for analysis

To the phycology as such and available for private interpretation

What makes sense to itself and not realizing its chosen paralysis?

As in the discussions with others, it arrives at a contrary conclusion.

 

The Spirit knows the thoughts of man as perception proceeds knowledge

Understanding then becomes commonplace in communion with our Lord

Yes! The spirit is the place where we touch Heavenly realities

And where we walk Hand in hand with our Savior, The Living Word 

 

To know the things of the Spirit and to evaluate the spiritual worth

It is through the ordained position of the Holy Spirit who comes first

As this will remove the limitation as to the power of the Holy grows

There to wait for the revelation that's underwritten, in the 2nd birth
