John 16:13
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.
If we have received the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Ghost, reckon why some
issues such as the one under discussion and others, cannot be resolved!
Personally they have been resolved a long time ago for me. It was not
resolved between me and every one else's opinion. It was resolved between
me and the Spirit of He who lives in me. I do not have to go any further.
As an adult I don't need any man/person to try to force me to what they
think about these issues. When we truly desire to know what pleases the
One who lives in us, we will seek to find His answer. He knows if we wish to
somehow feel justified and He knows our motive to continually go over and
over these issues because until we go to Him and sincerely seek His face
until we know what He would have us do. and be willing to do it, it won't
matter. I do what I feel the Holy Ghost would want me to do. Yes, I do it.
Not my place to seek Him for anyone else's position. That's their respons-
ibility.
After all the miracles Jesus did here on earth, there were still some who did
not believe who He was. The OT told of One who would come, etc., etc.,
and when He came, they still did not believe. Jesus told Thomas he believed
because he saw, but blessed are those who have not seen yet have believed.
He that is convinced against their WILL are of the same opinion still.
The more time we spend with HIM. the more we will know what He wants.
How many ladies know what their husbands like. And vice versa! Next week
we will be married 48 years. We still strive to please one another. If we really
do love each other we will be willing to lay aside our " preferences" to please
our "other half". If the "other" half of us is not pleased, do you think we are
going to be happy!! If the One who made us is not happy with our attitude
toward Him, He could just crumble that ole clay ball up and start over. It sure
wouldn't be comfortable to be crushed in His Hand. I know He loves me and
I love Him, but if I decide I am going to have MY way regardless, I am in for
a big chastising/humbling "whipping!!
