Shut Up and Listen!

[Mr. M]

The believer must receive wisdom directly from The Spirit to their spirit and become aware of this by an inner Voice.

Failure to do this is because of a lack of due diligence, not unbelief.

Romans 8 is fulfilled in this reality:

Romans 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 

17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, 

if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

The reason Paul immediately turns to the suffering of the servant is because

the enemy is well aware of whom is receiving Spirit to spirit, and opposes

the work of Christ in us. Those who are not turning to the Spirit the enemy 

can ignore and assign lesser, unclean spirits to distract them, because they are

not a threat to his power and authority. 

The First and Greatest Commandment: SHEMAH, O ISRAEL. Listen and Obey.

The fully functioning Christian is in obedience to the Spirit, by the Mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 

14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 

15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 

16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

A married couple and local missionaries came to our Rescue Mission once to witness in songs and testimonies.

They sang the most wonderful, simple and somewhat humorous song called "Shut Up and Listen".
