There is nothing spectacular in hearing the Word preached by someone God has ordained to do it, but it is very supernatural. So if you come looking for the spectacular in preaching – you will miss the supernatural. Going on where you cannot see it, in the spirit realm. Hearing the word preached being done here or reading your Bible are both a discipline, not amusement.
Once you know what to eat the act of eating food for your body requires no understanding on your part of how the food works. You just eat and your body and the food do their job, it is not intellectual at all. Feeding your spirit is governed by the exact same laws as feeding your body, it has nothing to do with your intellect. We do not listen to preaching to stay informed, we hear it to grow faith.
Trust is another word for faith in the Bible and they are matters of the heart, not the head. We are pushing against strongholds here, so stay with me. Spiritual growth like physical growth is governed by laws that have nothing to do with your intellect gaining information knowledge. Christianity is not based on information knowledge, it is based on Revelation knowledge. Knowledge that is revealed by God to your spirit.
The physical realm of the world where men can see and manipulate things runs on information knowledge, the spiritual realm does not. Intellect knowledge is on a lower level than spirit knowledge, just as intellect is below spirit. Your intellect is part of your soul which is below your spirit in rank, your spirit is also your conscience. The part of you that knows right from wrong and good from evil.
Your head-brain-mind-intellect is where you think things, like the monitor of a computer, but it is not where you know things. Your head is your thinker and will think anything you let it, your spirit is your knower and is where you know and recognize truth. God is truth and He is absolute, there is no relativity to truth.
There is just the truth you know and the truth you don’t know. Truth doesn’t set anyone free, it’s been there the whole time. Only the truth You know sets you free. God has hidden His truth in His word, and you must draw near Him to get it. Just as the body absorbs nutrients from the food, spirit absorbs truth from the Word. And it has nothing to do with your intellect.
Jesus warned about much deception in the last days, intellectualizing spiritual things is part of that deception. What we believe affects the way we see things. Spirit is not intellect. Feed your spirit the word and you which is a spirit, will have the spiritual strength you need to face the coming troubles. If you do not they will overwhelm you. There is no middle ground.
