It seems to me that in many of our churches these days, the trinity looks something like this:
God
Jesus
The Bible
I am not saying at all that the Bible is not the words of God, but what has happened to the Holy Spirit?
It would be like if Jesus was sitting next to you on the couch like, hey! Lets talk, talk to me, etc. And I was just like...
mmmm
you know I think Im just gonna sit here and read these papers you wrote...
Again I am not at all saying that the Bible is not important, IT IS.. but so is the personal aspect of God..so is knowing his spirit and his voice
"my sheep know my voice..." (John 10:7)
Its interesting, I think that Satans biggest tool in America is to minimize the power of the Holy Spirit. He knows that if he can get christians to be christians without listening or developing a relationship with the Holy Spirit they are basically useless. God works through his church, and he speaks to us through his spirit. That is how the bible was written, how david knew to fight goliath, how abraham knew to believe he would have a son etc.
If these people hadnt listened to the spirit, God never would have been glorified and his kingdom would not have been furthered.
Jesus said I am leaving so that you can have my SPIRIT(john 14-15)
Jesus left so that we could have him IN us. And yet so often we ignore him and go on in or everyday lives..and when we hear that still small voice we write it off as our own random thoughts.
And thus Satan is winning. The American Church is becoming a mass of empty people, going through the motions and knowing about God but not KNOWING God or letting him use them.
