I Think... I Feel... I Believe

 

I Think… I Feel… I Believe…

 

Early in the process of Christ being formed IN a son of God, the terms, “I THINK… I FEEL… I BELIEVE…” are removed from the vocabulary. 

 

In whose name am I coming if I say, “I think… I feel… or I believe…”?

 

Who wants to know what “I BELIEVE” anyway?

 

Jn7:18 “He that speaks of himself 

seeks his own glory: 

but he that seeks his glory that sent him, 

the same is true, 

and no unrighteousness is in him.”

 

Jn5:31 “If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true”

Why qualify what we say to make it more palatable to the hearer?

Why are we so self-conscious that we must assure others we heard from God?

We have reduced the Word of God to a mingled seed of mere opinion and self affirmation lacking the power to transform lives into the fulness of Christ. 

 

Just speak as sons…

Words of spirit and life (Jn6:63)

…demonstrating there is power in the voice. (1Cor14:11)

 

1Pet4:10–11 “…If any man speak, LET HIM SPEAK AS THE ORACLES OF GOD… …that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ.”

 

Jn14:10 “the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself…” 

 

Jn8:28 “I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak...”

 

Jn8:38 “I speak that which I have seen with my Father…”

 

Jn12:49–50 “For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak… …even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”

 

Jn14:24 “…the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s WHICH SENT ME.”

 

Jn3:34 “He whom GOD HAS SENT

speaks the words of God; 

for He gives the Spirit without measure.”

 

Jn16:13–14 “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…”

 

ANYONE speaking by the Holy Spirit CAN NOT testify or speak of himself.

 

WE RE-PRESENT THE ONE WHO SENT US!
