Even if you have authentic divine revelation, the second you leave the Holy Spirit, that revelation is lifeless. You need Jesus. He created you to stay connected at all times. You need to be led by the Holy Spirit in everything. For example, Romans 8:14 says, “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” This verse affirms that true children of God are guided by the Holy Spirit, emphasizing the importance of trusting His leading. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16) Listen to God and He will lead you in righteousness and give you power to walk in it.

The disciples had not yet received the Holy Spirit before Pentecost. In John 16:13, Jesus told them, “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth.” Now, the Spirit of truth has come, and He is here to lead you into all truth. You don’t need the confusion and pain that comes from human reasoning.

The Holy Spirit gives you power to do God’s work. He provides strength and direction. Acts 1:8 says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” And Ephesians 3:16 says, “I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being.” Only by God’s leading and power can you live according to His will.

Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

4. Since all wisdom and knowledge are hidden Christ, why do ungodly people have some wisdom and knowledge?
5. What about science? Why isn’t science the source of all wisdom and knowledge?

3. Ask God what He want’s to talk about.
4. You can ask God any questions. In all of this, be led by the Holy Spirit. God promises that He will answer you if you ask Him.

Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love. God designed your mind to flow in His Spirit. It won’t work properly without His presence. Learn to stand in God’s presence and hear His voice. Then teach others to do the same.
