Prove

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 12:

 

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

 

Amplified:

2 And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].

 

It is your and my responsibility to test, examine, prove, and scrutinize any word taught to us claiming to be FATHER’S Word whether given in prophecy or teaching.  There have been many who have interjected their own beliefs and bias hoping to get others to agree with their interpretation as though FATHER will somehow endorse it.  HE will only respond to HIS Divine Intent, not man’s soulish desires.

 

I myself have been misled in the past but by FATHER’S great grace and mercy, HE has corrected me and returned me to HIS Way by opening my eyes to when the error first occurred.  We must not allow ourselves to be swayed by men and women who are extremely convincing and appeal to our logic and common sense.  It is up to each of us to prove what is being said and taught rather than assuming the person to be accurate.

 

Does a PhD or a master’s degree qualify or make a person infallible?  When I was younger, I thought I wanted an advanced degree but FATHER told me I didn’t need it.  After all, HE is the ONE who is directing my path and providing me wisdom and understanding.  Are advanced degrees bad?  Absolutely not!  However, unless one’s vocation requires the advanced degree, the benefit may be of limited value.  It certainly does not make the person superior in revelation of FATHER’S Word.  It does help in one’s vocation where greater knowledge of a topic is required.

 

My wife has no degree yet I find her sensitivity to THE SPIRIT has greater benefit than any advanced degree offered.  She has been proven correct in her Spiritual assessment over and over.  I would have had less challenges in the past had I paid closer attention to what The Holy Spirit was telling me through her sensitivity.  I think I finally learned my lesson.  Her faith is simple and does not require exhaustive analysis.

 

Let us simply prove what is claimed as revelation by reading, studying, and knowing HIS Word.  It will save us much heartache and our lives will be simpler, filled with joy.  How wonderful!
