Peace: Chapter 6: We wait until we hear from God by HIS Spirit, and then we speak to others

 
6
We wait until we hear from God by HIS Spirit, and then we speak to others
 
When God brings HIS WORD to my mind by His Holy Spirit, I have all that I need to do the task set before me.

Psalm 119:105  Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

We learn with experience to patiently wait for God's word.

My cleaning lady, a Catholic woman asked me what I thought about homosexuals and lesbians.  I told her what God thinks by reading to her the following scripture.

Romans 1

21  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Then she said she had heard them say on talk shows that they were born homosexual.

 I didn't know the answer to that.  But a few days later God reminded me of a scripture and then I did know.

Mark 10:6  Jesus said  But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

At some point God turned them over to a reprobate mind to "vile affections." (Romans 1:26-27)

Then I told her that which I heard from God, Mark 10:6.

We wait until we are sure God has shown us HIS truth before we speak.

I Corinthians 2

6  Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Others who are born of the Spirit of God will understand because we have the same Spirit.

Jesus says:

John 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.

The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, searches the heart of God to reveal the Word of God to us.

I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?   
 
Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

We don't try to figure thing out in our own wisdom.  We wait for God to show us by HIS Spirit and then we speak what God has shown us to others.
